Creating Communities Virtually: Educators Cross-Cultural and Multidisciplinary Reflections of COVID-19
Get PDFAs a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, personal relationships and professional communities were instantaneously transformed and thrust into virtual and hybrid settings. In light of these, amongst many, strains on people’s daily lives, teachers and teacher educators have worked tirelessly to provide equitable educational opportunities for their students. We highlight a multidisciplinary effort from curriculum studies and mathematics education to explore the similarities and differences between our personal experiences teaching during a pandemic without a manual or warning from our cross-cultural perspectives. To capture our unique personal experiences working with prospective teachers in multicultural- and social justice-focused courses, we share our reflections from ongoing conversations about our pedagogical practices; our reflections showcase a juxtaposition between voice and voicelessness—power and powerlessness. We close our reflective discourse with implications for the creation of communities in the virtual classroom

Predicting COVID-19 behavior: Is it all due to political orientation?
Get PDFABSTRACT
Adherence to COVID-19 preventing measures is becoming increasingly important as governments across the world realize COVID-19 is not an acute, but a chronic problem. There is, however, disagreement over to what extent COVID-19 is a problem. In the United States, the division appears to be primarily along party lines (Democrat and Republican[1]), though even within parties there is division. This division might be explained by differences in: the behavioral immune system and trust in government. Additional factors to examine include: personality, fear of COVID-19, and religious beliefs. The present study used previously validated self-report measures to assess where respondents fell on the factors mentioned above. Additionally, a self-report measure was created to assess beliefs about and frequency of behaviors aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19. The first hypothesis was that Republicans in the United States would report that they perform fewer preventative behaviors than Democrats report. The second hypothesis was that there would be an interaction between political party and trust in government. It was predicted that Republicans would show a more negative relationship between trust in government and COVID-19 preventing behaviors than Democrats. The third hypothesis was that there would be an interaction between political party and perceived vulnerability to disease. It was
predicted that Republicans would show a more positive relationship between perceived vulnerability to disease and COVID-19 preventing behavior than Democrats. The fourth hypothesis was that an exploratory factor analysis would reveal clusters of related variables predictive of COVID-19 preventing behaviors. Hypothesis one was tested using a two-tailed point-biserial correlation, α = 0.05. Hypotheses two and three were tested using moderated linear regressions. Hypothesis four was examined using an exploratory factor analysis with a Scree plot to determine which factors contribute meaningfully to a model predicting COVID-19 preventing behaviors. Understanding the relationships between the behavioral immune system, trust in government, personality, fear of COVID-19, religious beliefs, and COVID-19 preventing behaviors may help tailor governmental responses to future pandemics, based off of how people are responding to COVID-19 at the time of writing, to improve adherence to preventative behaviors in the future.
[1] Given the synonymous use of Republican/conservative and Democrat/liberal in the USA, and because it gives a greater ability to generalize the results of the present study beyond the USA, the present review has drawn on literature looking at Republican/Democrat and conservative/liberal throughout, but for the analyses political orientation is operationally defined as Republican/Democrat

Get PDFWhy Diversity Matters in College: Covid Edition
No full textThe design of the panel discussion will involve 4-8 current SFASU students who are representatives of student organizations on campus with varied perspectives of the student experience here at SFASU. The conversation will begin to address issues found in the literature about diversity at US colleges (Hyman & Jacobs, 2009; http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/professors-guide/2009/08/12/why-does-diversity-matter-at-college-anyway). It is my hope to integrate the 8 issues found in this article into meaningful ways to address: how the SFASU student experience may or may not address these topics, what types of support are needed moving forward, and any other issues of diversity that are important to students here on campus. The impact of Covid-19 will be addressed. The 8 topics of diversity in college include: Diversity expands worldliness; Diversity enhances social development; Diversity prepares students for future success; Diversity prepares students for work in a global society; Interactions with people different from ourselves increases our knowledge base; Diversity promotes creative thinking; Diversity enhances self-awareness; and, Diversity enriches the multiple perspectives developed through a liberal arts education. These 8 issues will formulate the basis of our panel discussion, with the opportunity to engage students in meaningful ways about their campus, their experiences, and to open a dialogue that may benefit future generations of Lumberjacks

Trubitt draws upon data from Arkansas Archeological Society excavations at the Jones Mill and Dragover sites in southwest Arkansas to produce a highly readable, well-illustrated, and informative volume that introduces the non-professional reader to archaeological work. The use of text boxes to supplement the main narrative, along with a detailed glossary of key terms, allow her to present important concepts without dragging the reader into minutia
