Reflections: The relational practice of teaching and learning
No full textIn this essay, Meaghan Dougherty reflects upon how research she conducted on social service workers’ transition from post-secondary education to work has influenced her approach to teaching and learning. Drawing parallels to her own transition experiences, she examines how key findings from the research—including transition being a continual process, “not knowing” being an asset, and the importance of truly “being with” others—have important implications for relational practice and pedagogy. Reflecting on her developing approach to teaching and learning, the author encourage educators to rethink the importance of relational processes in educational encounters. Critically questioning our role as educators generates possibilities for social change; we can disrupt ideas about education which are taken for granted and transgress dominant ways of “being” in the classroom.Peer reviewe

I remember teaching at Seabrook School
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Olive Dougherty, a second-grade teacher from Seabrook School, recalls her past students. She enjoyed teaching at Seabrook because of her exposure to diverse cultures and backgrounds. Seabrook teachers were encouraged to visit students and their families in their homes, as well as to invite students to their houses. This community closeness helped alleviate the fears of students who initially felt lost and isolated in their new, unfamiliar homes. Ms. Dougherty has stayed in contact with many of her former students, some of whom have become teachers themselves. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
Integration of the ecological and error models of overconfidence using a multiple-trace memory model.
No full textThis research examined a memory processes account of the calibration of probability judgments. A multiple-trace memory model, MINERVA-DM (MDM; Dougherty, Ogden, & Gettys, 1999), was used to integrate the ecological (Brunswikian) and the error (Thurstonian) models of overconfidence. The model predicts that overconfidence should decrease both as a function of experience and as a function of encoding quality. Both increased experience and improved encoding quality result in lower error variance in the output of the model, which in turn leads to better calibration. Three experiments confirmed these predictions. Implications of MDM's account of overconfidence are discussed

Medical Management of Rheumatic Heart Disease
No full textBest practices guidelines for the long-term management of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include secondary prevention with penicillin prophylaxis, clinical reviews by a specialist experienced in RHD management, serial echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular and valve function, timely referral for heart surgery, monitoring of anticoagulation for patients with atrial fibrillation and mechanical heart valves, and access to oral healthcare.There is an established evidence base for surgical or catheter-based intervention for severe or symptomatic RHD patients, whereas there is little evidence that pharmacological management of severe RHD changes outcomes. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the global burden of symptomatic RHD exists in regions of the world where there is limited or no access to surgical or catheter-based treatment. As a result, medical management is often the only option and may allow for symptomatic improvement.This chapter discusses the principles of medical management of RHD and the indications for surgical or catheter-based treatment.</p
