Lived Experiences of Neurodiverse Students: A Review
No full textThis study aims to examine available literature on neurodiversity, particularly as it relates to neurodiverse students’ lived experiences. This study utilized the scoping review method to effectively map how research about neurodiverse students has been designed and conducted. Through a thorough search of four databases, articles were selected for data extraction and review based on the named criteria. Among all the studies reviewed, one of the themes that stood out was the view that only a few research directly assessed the needs of students with neurodiversity. It is also worth noting that of all kinds of neurological conditions, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Syndrome received due attention among all the papers about neurodiversity. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and high-functioning autism received greater attention, followed by Asperger syndrome. Research efforts concerning the lived experiences of neurodiverse students are limited, particularly in Africa, where this research found no article that captured the lived experiences of neurodiverse students from their perspectives. These findings build on existing research by ascertaining whether neurodiverse students’ voices are acknowledged enough by researchers who could influence inclusion in academic planning, curriculum design, social activities and general academic life. Findings from this research imply that it would be of utmost assistance to researchers if gaps in neurodiversity research are identified to inform ideas for future research. Future studies ought to focus on African countries to explore the situation and academic life of neurodiverse students and not merely depend on the input of teachers, parents and neurodiversity professionals
Educational Implications: Physiological Changes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
No full textDespite more than three decades of research, the educational community's understanding of the mechanisms underlying Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing treatment remains incomplete. This article critically examines the existing literature, focusing on the physiological mechanisms present when Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy is successfully administered. The review encompasses various research methodologies, including neuroimaging investigations tracking volumetric changes, shifts in relative brain activity across regions, and electroencephalographical alterations in brain function. Through this exploration, the authors underscore the necessity for future studies that delve into the mechanisms of action within children and adolescents and the transformations associated with treating complex post-traumatic stress disorder. The article will identify gaps in knowledge, emphasizing implications for educators and educational practices. A deeper understanding of these phenomena will provide insights for educators and the approaches used to address trauma-related issues in educational settings
University Students: Preferences for Counseling Methods
No full textThe mental health of university students has become an important concern escalated by pandemic-related stresses and insights into effective therapy for this population is needed. Participants (n 389) completed a survey indicating preferences regarding seeing a therapist employing methods reflecting one of three established schools of thought: psychoanalytic, person-centered, or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Analysis of results indicated that the CBT approach was the most popular method. However, when participants reacted to hypothetical dilemmas, there was evidence of some departure from the method students selected as their original preference. The CBT approach was more persistently chosen by participants who indicated an initial preference for that method. Demographic differences are reported. Commentary is offered on why college-aged participants might vary in their preferences for treatment styles and why so many maintain a propensity for CBT

Predicting counselor candidates’ altruism in Türkiye: The role of wellness, mindfulness, and gender
No full textThis study aimed to assess how well the wellness, mindfulness, and gender of counselor candidates could predict their level of altruism. A total of 357 senior students from Guidance and Psychological Counseling programs across 18 universities in various Turkish cities participated. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Altruism Scale, Well-Star Scale, and Mindfulness Scale. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated that these variables collectively explained 24% of the variance in altruism. Wellness and gender emerged as significant predictors of altruism among the candidates, with wellness being the strongest predictor. Notably, wellness was positively associated with altruism, and female candidates scored higher in altruism than their male counterparts. However, mindfulness did not significantly influence the prediction of altruism. The study’s results were examined in the context of the literature, and recommendations for counselor educators and researchers were provided based on these findings
