The Effectiveness of Technology to Improve Educational Counseling Services: A Systematic Literature Review
No full textThere is a scarcity of research that documents the use of technology-based educational counseling services specifically targeting students. This study’s aim is to compile and conduct a comprehensive review of the literature on the efficacy of technology in enhancing educational counseling services. Searches were conducted using the Publish or Perish (PoP) method throughout, along with Scopus, Crossref, PubMed, ACA, Web of Science, Springer, Emerald, as well as the Taylor and Francis databases. Data gathering was done in October and November 2023. The evaluation included a total of 19 papers, and the results indicated that technology has been proven to improve educational counseling services, where it is used in mental health that is dominated by MHAs, mobile well-being apps, mHEALTH, SMS, FER, and mindfulness apps. Computer-assisted and CD-ROM tools are used in personal counseling, while CAI is used in providing learning counseling. Social counseling used two technologies: a safety decision-aid smartphone app and a virtual message app. Counseling for learning was used with CAI, MCO, and video modeling. Career counseling employed a mobile-based career counseling app along with career counseling websites. The investigation included the countries of Indonesia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Türkiye (Turkey), the Philippines, and Iran
Teaching and Learning Resources for Endangered Languages
No full textPrevious research on endangered languages (EL) has focused on two areas: documentation and revitalization (REHG & Campbell 2018). For revitalization, it is essential to create teaching and learning materials (TLM), yet there is limited research on this topic. This volume, a follow-up from the Foundation for EL 24th annual conference, addresses this imbalance
Mourning, Responsibility, and Social Work: A Call for Emotions in Knowledge Production
No full textThis paper seeks to explore the profound and rupturing impact that grief can have as a method to disrupt and analyze social works epistemological foundations. The paper first explores and identifies social works positivist roots and the limitations this has on creating liberatory and progressive inclusion practices. The essay then seeks to establish and identify the need for emotions within social work scholarship. By exploring this need, the paper hopes to identify different ways that emotions, such as grief, can be used as a tool that collectivizes critical frameworks to create and reimagine new and innovative practices to rethink what social work can be within the Canadian context. Ultimately, the essay is a call for social work to rethink how we use grief in our work and invites productive questions of how it can be used as a tool to bring together critical epistemologies that have been othered within scholarship to create new forms of solidarity within the field moving forward
Une réaction à la critique depuis les marges épistémologiques
No full textIn this paper, a reaction is presented to Siegel’s claim that the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation ignores or neglects epistemological viewpoints that he finds vital to any normative theory of argumentation. The focus is on the most important problems in Siegel’s argument: 1) the ambiguity of the term ‘argument’ and the alleged negligence of this ambiguity in pragma-dialectics; 2) the critical rational perspective of the pragma-dialectical account; and 3) the alleged negligence of the “abstract propositional sense” of argument in pragma-dialectics.
Dans cet article, on répond à l’affirmation de Siegel selon laquelle la théorie pragma-dialectique de l’argumentation ignore ou néglige les points de vue épistémologiques qu’il considère comme essentiels à toute théorie normative de l’argumentation. L’accent est mis sur les problèmes les plus importants de l’argumentation de Siegel : 1) l’ambiguïté du terme « argument » et la prétendue négligence de cette ambiguïté dans la dialectique pragmatique ; 2) la perspective rationnelle critique du récit pragma-dialectique ; et 3) la prétendue négligence du « sens propositionnel abstrait » de l’argumentation dans la pragma-dialectique
Sincere and Insincere Arguing
No full textAbstract: In this paper, we contend that there are two ways of arguing, namely sincere and insincere arguing. We draw such a distinction, based on the felicity conditions of the complex speech act of arguing as modelled in van Eemeren and Grootendorst’s pragma-dialectical approach. We introduce a conversa-tional setting, which contains a speech act of arguing that does not count as in-sincere arguing, while being a sui gene-ris form of sincere arguing. We desig-nate it as “cooperative inquiry”. Finally, we show that argument evaluation plays a key role in determining whether an in-stance of arguing counts as either argu-ing sincerely or insincerely.
Résumé: Dans cet article, nous affir-mons qu’il existe deux manières d’argu-menter, à savoir l’argumentation sincère et l’argumentation non sincère. Nous établissons une telle distinction, basée sur les conditions de félicité de l’acte de parole complexe consistant à argu-menter, tel que modélisé dans l’ap-proche pragma-dialectique de van Eemeren et Grootendorst. Nous intro-duisons un cadre conversationnel, qui contient un acte de parole d\u27argumenta-tion qui n\u27est pas considéré comme une argumentation non sincère, tout en étant une forme sui generis d\u27argumentation sincère. Nous la désignons comme « enquête coopérative ». Enfin, nous montrons que l’évaluation des argu-ments joue un rôle clé pour déterminer si un cas d’argumentation compte comme une argumentation sincère ou non
Anarchism & Social Work
No full textCurrent progressive and radical approaches to social work tend to reflect Marxist views of social problems and their solution. A critique of classical and other non-autonomous Marxist views of authority and structure leads the reader to consider moving beyond hierarchies to considering anti-authoritarian perspectives for social work. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the history and theory of anarchist thought. I make it clear that I am not speaking from a position of expertise nor claim authority here but encourage further dialogue. This is explicitly articulated as this paper intends to inform and promote discussion and thought on an anarchist approach to social work.

Remembering Amy
No full textProfessor Amy Rossiter was an inspirational critical social worker. I acknowledge her leadership without the caution that she, no doubt, would have preferred. Professor Rossiter (2001, 2005, 2011, 2014) urged social workers to be critical thinkers and to work collaboratively with the oppressed for structural change. Yet she also pressed us to understand how our historical, social, and cultural positions place most, if not all social workers, as beneficiaries of unequal and oppressive social orders. The people we seek to partner with for change, those with most to lose in the social order, recognise this complexity and so must we. Professor Rossiter (2001) urged us to be “deeply suspicious of the innocence of ‘doing social work’
“There’s no word in my language for reconciliation”: Challenging the settler appropriation of the discourse of reconciliation
No full textThe purpose of this conceptual article is to evidence the emergence of the discourse of reconciliation in the last two decades with an aim to identify Canadians’ under-developed understanding and application of reconciliation and to critically interrogate the way in which the concept has been appropriated and applied by governments, organizations, and individuals. The many “faces” of reconciliation include political reconciliation as understood outside of the TRC, truth and reconciliation as reflective of the TRC, and institutional reconciliation (or co-optative and performative applications). The opaqueness around these differing movements leads to easy co-optation of reconciliation within colonial institutions, limits the transformational opportunities within the broader reconciliation movement, and contributes to stagnation and collective malaise towards reconciliation to the detriment of broader settler colonial decolonialism.
Our methodology includes a review of existing literature and selected interviews with Indigenous language speakers who discuss a range of understandings and applications of reconciliation within Anishinaabemowin and Michif. Inspired by these new conceptions, the authors argue in an original contribution to scholarship that reconciliation can only be a useful narrative if it is anchored, through language, in Indigenous understandings of justice. The social impact of this work includes understanding that the ways in which reconciliation is mobilized in Canada is important and understanding how Indigenous language, instead, may offer key cultural insights and understandings for what it means to address wrongs
