Get PDFMaking emergency remote teaching strategies through a pedagogy of care
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic highlighted key inequities in education, including disparities in technology access, student engagement, and emotional well-being, while simultaneously presenting opportunities for pedagogical innovation. This article explores how the shift to emergency remote teaching (ERT) challenged traditional educational practices and provided a platform for reimagining learning environments through the lens of a pedagogy of care. Drawing from Noddings’ (1984) framework of modeling, dialogue, practice, and confirmation, as well as the principles of humanizing pedagogy and social constructivism, the article describes implementing care-centered strategies during ERT, such as flexible deadlines, reflective assignments, and intentional relationship-building. These practices addressed the intellectual, emotional, and social needs of students during a time of crisis and have become a foundation for sustainable teaching approaches in post-pandemic contexts. The article examines the challenges and innovations of ERT, offering actionable strategies for embedding care into higher education classrooms and advocating for institutional policies that prioritize equity, well-being, and adaptability. By sustaining these practices, educators can transform their classrooms into inclusive, compassionate spaces that foster resilience and human connection
Unveiling the narrative around pilot mental health and aviation - A content analysis of FAA and mental health-related social media content
Get PDFThis study investigates the content on social media platforms surrounding pilot mental health and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical certification process. Utilizing Meltwater, a media monitoring and analysis tool, nearly 12,500 social media posts on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) were analyzed to identify key themes and sentiments expressed by current and aspiring pilots. Findings reveal significant concerns about the FAA's mental health regulations, with many pilots expressing fear of career repercussions and reluctance to seek necessary mental health care. The study also highlights the importance of social media as a platform for pilots to anonymously voice their frustrations and seek support. The research ultimately advocates for enhanced FAA communication, education, and support resources that align with pilot needs and concerns, as well as encourages more open discussions about mental health within the aviation industry.
