The perils of promoting pluralism: how translocal tension frames knowledge production in Rethinking Economics

ABSTRACT Through an analysis of translocal digital spaces of learning, training and mentoring in the student-led international movement organisation Rethinking Economics, this article theoretically expands the concept of Social Movement School (SMS) by incorporating new empirical data that reflect contemporary movements’ use of digital media. Rethinking Economics pushes for methodological, theoretical and representational pluralism in economics. Employing a Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD), I conduct deep readings of the textual data from the movement’s digital depository (‘Members’ resources’), that stores educational material, online courses in organisation and leadership, and key information about the movement. The article demonstrates how translocal tensions between core–periphery and theoria-phronesis frame knowledge production within the movement and maintain eschewed power relations between student activists and the organisation’s central office. I develop the concept of plug and play activism to describe the digital schooling as a dispositive; displaying how educational material and online courses are diffused to ensure easy data retrievability and protest replicability in translocal student activism.

Mediating role of academic grit and subjective vitality in the relationship between school belongingness and school satisfaction among middle school students who migrated after an earthquake

On February 6, 2023, two catastrophic earthquakes hit Turkey on the same day, which was called the biggest disaster of the last century. Following this disaster, some students living in 10 provinces affected by the earthquakes decided to leave their hometowns and continue their education in different cities. In recent years, the concepts of school belonging and school satisfaction have gained prominence in the relevant literature. However, little is known about the mechanisms that mediate the relationship between school satisfaction and school belonging. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of academic grit and subjective vitality on the relationship between students' school belonging and school satisfaction. The study participants consisted of middle school students who moved to another city after the earthquakes and started attending different schools in those cities. A total of 550 students participated in the study, consisting of 312 girls and 238 boys. The age of the participating students ranged from 10 to 15 years (M=12.43, SD=1.07). In the current study, the data collection instruments included a personal information form developed by the researcher, the School Belongingness Scale, the Comprehensive School Satisfaction Scale for Children, the Academic Grit Scale, and the Subjective Vitality Scale. The results of the study indicate that academic grit and subjective vitality play a significant mediating role in the relationship between school belonging and school satisfaction. In addition, all path coefficients in the current study are significantly positive. Based on the results of the study, some suggestions are offered to increase school satisfaction among middle school students.

USE OF INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES OF COLLECTIVE AND GROUP LEARNING (ON THE EXAMPLES OF STUDYING SCHOOL COURSES OF GEOGRAPHY AND NATURAL SCIENCE «GETTING TO KNOW NATURE»)

The standards of modern education set before every teacher the task of forming a person of a new generation – creative, active, proactive, one who uses innovative approaches in solving problem situations.The concept of the New Ukrainian School puts forward new requirements for the organization of education for those seeking education. It is possible to implement this work only when each student performs his educational process as effectively as possible. Traditional methods of education aimed at improving the information system of education do not provide the opportunity to fully reveal the inner creative and intellectual potential of each person, because it continues to be dominated by the traditional psychological and informational approach, which is aimed at developing memorization skills, rather than thinking and acting, and not the development of all psychological processes of the individual, which he should involve in the learning process.The article highlights the problems of using interactive learning technologies in the school natural science course “Getting to Know Nature”. Interactive technologies of collective and group learning (“microphone”, “unfinished sentences”, “brainstorming”, “teaching – learning”, “openwork saw”, “situation analysis are considered”), “decision tree” and others.It is noted that such an organization of training creates a special educational environment for personality development. Through mutual learning, experience in solving problems based on its theoretical understanding and application is acquired.

Early-onset catatonia associated with SHANK3 mutations: looking at the autism spectrum through the prism of psychomotor phenomena.

Individuals with Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) present with a wide range of diagnoses: autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, or schizophrenia. Differences in the genetic background could explain these different neurodevelopmental trajectories. However, a more parsimonious hypothesis is to consider that they may be the same phenotypic entity. Catatonic disturbances occasionally reported from adolescence onwards in PMS prompts exploration of the hypothesis that this clinical entity may be an early-onset form of catatonia. The largest cohort of children with childhood catatonia was studied by the Wernicke-Kleist-Leonhard school (WKL school), which regards catatonia as a collection of qualitative abnormalities of psychomotricity that predominantly affecting involuntary motricity (reactive and expressive). The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of psychomotor signs in three young adults carrying a mutation or intragenic deletion of the SHANK3 gene through the prism of the WKL school conception of catatonia. This study was designed as an exploratory case study. Current and childhood psychomotor phenomena were investigated through semi-structured interviews with the parents, direct interaction with the participants, and the study of documents reporting observations of the participants at school or by other healthcare professionals. The findings show catatonic manifestations from childhood that evolved into a chronic form, with possible phases of sub-acute exacerbations starting from adolescence. The presence of catatonic symptoms from childhood associated with autistic traits leads us to consider that this singular entity fundamentally related to SHANK3 mutations could be a form of early-onset catatonia. Further case studies are needed to confirm our observations.

Forced to Choose: Lessons Learned from Families of Students Within Special Education

In this interview study, we utilize a theoretical framework that combines Bell’s theory of choice sets with DisCrit to explore how parents of students with IEPs (SIEPs) experienced a forced school choice embedded with the 2013 mass school closures in Chicago. We find that a child’s disability was a primary factor in parent’s choices. Further, all parents in our sample had conceptions of ideal schools, but a child’s IEP and other barriers—including safety and transportation—could prevent parents from enrolling their child in an otherwise desired school. In this way a child’s IEP could provide access to needed services while also denying families from desired learning environments. These findings point to the ableist nature of school choice and contribute to the growing body of research that questions the theoretical underpinnings of school choice as an education reform strategy.

Developing Teacher Competencies for Teaching Evolution across the Primary School Curriculum: A Design Study of a Pre-Service Teacher Education Module

Numerous studies indicate that evolutionary concepts can and should be taught at the primary school level. However, teaching evolution in primary school is presumably not yet the norm globally. At the same time, the educational potential of evolutionary concepts lies in their applicability to many curriculum topics in the natural and social sciences. Capitalizing on this potential requires broad teacher content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) about the teaching of evolutionary concepts. However, not much is known regarding ways to develop primary teacher CK and PCK during pre-service training. In this article, we present the iterative design, implementation, and mixed methods formative evaluation (based on a design-based research framework) of a pre-service teacher education module. Its aim was to promote the development of pre-service primary school teacher CK, PCK, as well as motivation and confidence for teaching evolution across the primary school curriculum. Results indicate that pre-service teachers can be supported and motivated to teach evolutionary concepts across various themes in the primary school curriculum through a semester long course. Participants were able to develop core aspects of CK and PCK regarding the teaching of evolutionary concepts in primary school. The resulting module design integrates existing collective PCK on teaching evolution at the primary level as well as novel design considerations and teaching approaches that can be integrated into pre-service teacher education programs. However, challenges remain, particularly regarding the integration of evolutionary concepts in mandated curriculum standards such that the educational potential of evolution can be fully capitalized on by teachers.
