Title: Does Exercise Improve Cognitive Performance? A Conservative Message from Lord's Paradox.
Creator: Liu, Sicong, Lebeau, Jean-Charles, Tenenbaum, Gershon
Abstract/Description: Although extant meta-analyses support the notion that exercise results in cognitive performance enhancement, methodology shortcomings are noted among primary evidence. The present study examined relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the past 20 years (1996-2015) for methodological concerns arise from Lord's paradox. Our analysis revealed that RCTs supporting the positive effect of exercise on cognition are likely to include Type I Error(s). This result can be attributed to...
Show moreAlthough extant meta-analyses support the notion that exercise results in cognitive performance enhancement, methodology shortcomings are noted among primary evidence. The present study examined relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the past 20 years (1996-2015) for methodological concerns arise from Lord's paradox. Our analysis revealed that RCTs supporting the positive effect of exercise on cognition are likely to include Type I Error(s). This result can be attributed to the use of gain score analysis on pretest-posttest data as well as the presence of control group superiority over the exercise group on baseline cognitive measures. To improve accuracy of causal inferences in this area, analysis of covariance on pretest-posttest data is recommended under the assumption of group equivalence. Important experimental procedures are discussed to maintain group equivalence.

Show moreSupervision is a widely recognised component of counsellor training, yet little is known about the clinical supervision training of rehabilitation counsellor educators during their doctoral education. Using syllabi from doctoral rehabilitation counselling programmes, this article discusses the state of clinical supervision in doctoral-level training, and its teaching and clinical implications. 16 of the 25 Ph.D. programmes in rehabilitation responded to contact, and 11 programmes reported offering a course in supervision. Eight of these programmes shared the syllabus for their doctoral-level supervision course(s). The syllabi were analysed to find common themes related to content, learning objectives, assignments and readings. These themes are discussed, and are followed by five recommendations on the manner in which clinical supervision should be provided in rehabilitation doctoral programmes.

Show moreThis paper sets out the recent evidence around career development. This evidence is examined within the context of the college and career readiness agenda. The argument is made that in order for young people to be genuinely "ready" for both college and career they need to have attended to their academic achievement, their aspirations and plans for the future, their ability to make transitions and their ability to direct their own careers. It is argued that career development offers schools a body of practice that has been shown to have a positive impact on young people's readiness for college and career. The report acknowledges that the provision of career development has been in decline in many North American schools despite evidence of its effectiveness. Given the current instability of the labor market, the increasing complexity of the education system and the need to grow the skills base of the workforce in a competitive global market, failing to attend to young people's careers seems shortsighted. As this paper shows, there is a strong body of evidence which demonstrates that career development activity in schools can help young people to experience academic achievement, successfully transition to the labor market and live happier and more productive lives. It is hoped that setting out the evidence in this area of research will provide policy makers and school leaders with the resources required to make informed decisions and to support the development of the future generations of talent. The paper explores the impacts of career development in relation to four main questions: • Does career development engage young people in their schooling and help keep them attending school? • Does career development positively impact on young people's academic achievement? • Does career development assist young people in making successful transitions to college or the labor market? • Does career development have a positive effect on people's career and life success?

Show moreA common assumption in meta-analysis is that effect sizes are independent. When correlated effect sizes are analyzed using traditional univariate techniques, this assumption is violated. This research assesses the impact of dependence arising from treatment-control studies with multiple endpoints on homogeneity measures Q and I^2 in scenarios using the unbiased standardized-mean-difference effect size. Univariate and multivariate meta-analysis methods are examined. Conditions included different overall outcome effects, study sample sizes, numbers of studies, between-outcomes correlations, dependency structures, and ways of computing the correlation. The univariate approach used typical fixed-effects analyses whereas the multivariate approach used generalized least squares (GLS) estimates of a fixed-effects model, weighted by the inverse variance-covariance matrix. Increased dependence among effect sizes led to increased Type I error rates from univariate models. When effect sizes were strongly dependent, error rates were drastically higher than nominal levels regardless of study sample size and number of studies. In contrast, using GLS estimation to account for multiple-endpoint dependency maintained error rates within nominal levels. Conversely, mean I^2 values were not greatly affected by increased amounts of dependency. Last, we point out that the between-outcomes correlation should be estimated as a pooled within-groups correlation rather than using a full-sample estimator which does not consider treatment/control group membership.

We have found that many career counseling clients, often within minutes of initially engaging with a career practitioner, make a statement to the effect of, "I want to take that test that will tell me what I should be." In the sections that follow, we present an argument that career assessments should be part of the overall process of career counseling, not a standalone activity. We present a model of incorporating career assessments into the overall career counseling process, and demonstrate that model through use of a case study. In addition, we discuss implications for career service practitioners - but first, we will begin with a review of the purpose/utility of career assessments.

While motivation can't easily be quantified, few would dispute its essential role in promoting academic engagement and achievement. This uniquely practical book is the first how-to guide on motivating students in grades K-3. Presented are research-based strategies and techniques that are brought to life in three extended case studies of highly successful motivators. Vividly demonstrating how these exemplary teachers flood their classrooms with motivation, the book provides inspiration and practical ideas that readers can implement in their own work. It also guides teachers in recognizing and avoiding key pitfalls--the attitudes, instructional methods, and classroom management approaches that may inadvertently undermine student motivation.

We used structural equation modeling to examine these relations. We tested three models, obtaining a model with good fit to the data. We found evidence that both the pretest and the in-game measure of student performance significantly predicted learning outcome, while the in-game measure of performance was predicted by pretest data, frustration, and engaged concentration. Moreover, we found evidence for two indirect paths from engaged concentration and frustration to learning, via the in-game progress measure. We discuss the importance of these findings, and consider viable next steps concerning the design of effective learning supports within game environments.

Ethics and best practices for use and selection of test translations are described, along with problems endemic to ad-hoc translation. In addition, the authors surveyed publishers to determine what languages and normative data have been made available other than the English version (with U.S. norms). This information is tabulated and presented. The most popular language available was English; normative data was available for English speakers from the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Spanish was the second most popular, with 12.59% of the tests translated into Spanish (8.3% with norms). These Spanish norms may be general (all Spanish speakers) or specific (e.g., Puerto Rican norms). In addition, country-based norms are described for some tests, but the actual language is not (e.g., there are norms for Spain but it is unclear if the language is Castilian, Basque, Catalan, Galician, or Occitan).

Title: A Comparison of Two MCMC Algorithms for Hierarchical Mixture Models.

Abstract/Description: Mixture models form an important class of models for unsupervised learning, allowing data points to be assigned labels based on their values. However, standard mixture models procedures do not deal well with rare components. For example, pause times in student essays have different lengths depending on what cognitive processes a student engages in during the pause. However, instances of student planning (and hence very long pauses) are rare, and thus it is difficult to estimate those...
Show moreMixture models form an important class of models for unsupervised learning, allowing data points to be assigned labels based on their values. However, standard mixture models procedures do not deal well with rare components. For example, pause times in student essays have different lengths depending on what cognitive processes a student engages in during the pause. However, instances of student planning (and hence very long pauses) are rare, and thus it is difficult to estimate those parameters from a single student’s essays. A hierarchical mixture model eliminates some of those problems, by pooling data across several of the higher level units (in the example students) to estimate parameters of the mixture components. One way to estimate the parameters of a hierarchical mixture model is to use MCMC. But these models have several issues such as non-identifiability under label switching that make them difficultcult to estimate just using off-the-shelf MCMC tools. This paper looks at the steps necessary to estimate these models using two popular MCMC packages: JAGS (random walk Metropolis algorithm) and Stan (Hamiltonian Monte Carlo). JAGS, Stan and R code to estimate the models and model fit statistics are published along with the paper.

Show moreThe research on families of the gifted is extremely limited. In the past, families of the gifted have been studied mainly for two reasons: to discover how family life creates or supports giftedness or eminence, or to understand how one gifted child affects siblings. Few studies, however, have examined the impact of gifted children on the lives of parents. Most studies highlight that many gifted have unique needs and vulnerabilities. Although there is limited empirical research on the experience of parenting a gifted child, there is clinical and anecdotal evidence that the role presents unique parenting challenges. This article presents preliminary research data on the experiences of parenting a gifted child within the family. The authors embrace a risk and resilience model, supported by clinical data obtained from families with a gifted child seen at a leading center for gifted children in Milan., This study found that parents of gifted children in Italy confront unique challenges compared to their peers, including lack of parenting alliance, difficulties managing family routines, challenges handling sibling relationships, and less-than-adequate family communication., In this article, the authors address the gap in the literature regarding parenting challenges of gifted children. Based on a risk and resilience model, the authors used semi-structure interviews with 49 Italian parents of gifted children to identify sources of stress. Results showed that lack of parenting alliance, difficulties managing family routines, challenges handling sibling relationships, and less-than-adequate family communication were all key stressors. The implications of the findings for clinical practice were also discussed.

Show moreThis article looks closely at two types of errors children have been shown to make with universal quantification-Exhaustive Pairing (EP) errors and Underexhaustive errors-and asks whether they reflect the same underlying phenomenon. In a large-scale, longitudinal study, 140 children were tested 4 times from ages 4 to 7 on sentences involving the universal quantifier every. We find an interesting inverse relationship between EP errors and Underexhaustive errors over development: the point at which children stop making Underexhaustive errors is also when they begin making EP errors. Underexhaustive errors, common at early stages in our study, may be indicative of a non-adult, non-exhaustive semantics for every. EP errors, which emerge later, and remain frequent even at age 7, are progressive in nature and were also found with adults in a control study. Following recent developmental work (Drozd and van Loosbroek 2006; Smits 2010), we suggest that these errors do not signal lack of knowledge, but may stem from independent difficulties appropriately restricting the quantifier domain in the presence of a salient, but irrelevant, extra object.

Show moreAccording to the Dualistic Model of Passion (39), passion entails valuing, liking, and spending time on an activity. The Dualistic Model also posits two types of passion for activities: harmonious passion (individual voluntarily engages in the activity) and obsessive passion (individual is compelled to engage in the activity). The purpose of the present study was to examine the possible links between college students' passion for academic activities and problematic health behaviors including smoking, excessive drinking, exercise addiction, disordered eating, and sleepiness, which is a possible indicator of sleep deprivation. Participants (n = 502) completed a survey gauging passion type and health behaviors. Regression analyses revealed obsessive passion for academic activities was positively associated with scores on measures of excessive drinking (β = .15, p= .008), exercise addiction (β = .19, p<.001), and disordered eating (β = .17, p < .001) but was not associated with sleep deprivation (β = .07, p = .15). Harmonious passion for academic activities, in contrast, was negatively associated with excessive drinking behavior (β = -.16, p = .002) and sleep deprivation (β = -.13, p = .007) but was not associated with exercise addiction (β = .002, p = .97) and disordered eating (β = -.04, p = .37). These findings provide further support for the Dualistic Model of Passion. Students who are obsessively passionate about their academic activities are more likely to engage in poor health behaviors and, in turn, may experience greater negative outcomes than students who are harmoniously passionate about their academics.

Show moreThe purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of olfactory ovulation cues (i.e., female body odors) on a range of psychological, physiological, and behavioral indices in males during an exertive motor task. Eighty-eight male participants performed a handgrip squeezing task at 20% of maximum squeezing capacity to volitional fatigue. There were three conditions to the study: control, placebo, and ovulation. Researchers recoded participants' rate of perceived exertion (RPE), attention allocation, heart rate (HR), and skin conductance response (SCR). Multivariate analysis did not reveal significant differences among the groups. However, as task duration increased, small to large effect sizes (Cohen's d; d = .13 - .60) emerged between the ovulation and both the control and placebo groups for HR, SCR, and attention allocation. Effect size magnitude suggests female ovulation cues may have a delayed effect on males' attention and RPE during an exertive task. Future research should focus on alternative methods of collection and distribution of olfactory ovulation cues. To increase ecological validity, research also needs to test these effects by means of diverse tasks and settings (aerobic tasks, team tasks).

Show moreThis article presents findings from a year-long multilevel comparative case study exploring the characteristics of effective urban high schools. We developed a comprehensive framework from the school effectiveness research that guided our data collection and analysis at the four high schools. Using value-added methodology, we identified two higher and two lower performing high schools in Broward County, Florida. We found that the two higher performing high schools in the study had strong and deliberate structures, programs, and practices that attended to both students’ academic and social learning needs, something we call Personalization for Academic and Social Emotional Learning. Because of the study’s inductive focus on effectiveness, we follow our findings with a discussion of theories and prior research that substantiate the importance of schools’ attention to the connection between students’ academic and social emotional learning needs in high schools.

Show moreThis article addresses the shifting educational priorities in the accountability era by examining states' expressed and assessed educational goals in relationship to those goals enjoying historical and popular support. We argue that curricular restriction in response to federally influenced educational priorities limits individual and social growth, concluding that the 2014 NCLB ultimatum provides a ready catalyst for reorienting educational priorities to address more holistic aims grounded in research from positive psychology., An examination of how state and federal educational goals, particularly in terms of accountability, might have counterproductive effects on students and teachers by hindering individual and social growth., This paper argues that changing educational priorities coming from state and federal policies (such as the No Child Left Behind) often results in stakeholders’ (e.g. teachers) beliefs about the purposes of education being at odds with states’ expected student outcomes, limiting individual and social growth. The authors also discussed what other educational goals, beyond accountability, should be part of a 21st century education.

Show moreThe traditional approach to building Bayesian networks is to build the graphical structure using a graphical editor and then add probabilities using a separate spreadsheet for each node. This can make it difficult for a design team to get an impression of the total evidence provided by an assessment, especially if the Bayesian network is split into many fragments to make it more manageable. Using the design patterns commonly used to build Bayesian networks for educational assessments, the collection of networks necessary can be specified using two matrixes. An inverse covariance matrix among the proficiency variables (the variables which are the target of interest) specifies the graphical structure and relation strength of the proficiency model. A Q-matrix — an incidence matrix whose rows represent observable outcomes from assessment tasks and whose columns represent proficiency variables — provides the graphical structure of the evidence models (graph fragments linking proficiency variables to observable outcomes). The Q-matrix can be augmented to provide details of relationship strengths and provide a high level overview of the kind of evidence available in the assessment. The representation of the model using matrixes means that the bulk of the specification work can be done using a desktop spreadsheet program and does not require specialized software, facilitating collaboration with external experts. The design idea is illustrated with some examples from prior assessment design projects.

Show moreFor Black women who have sex with women (BWSW), obtaining routine healthcare can be obstructed by a number of psychosocial barriers, including experiences of stigma, related to both sexual orientation and race, and medical mistrust, both race-based and global. Previous research demonstrates that sexual orientation and race-based stigma, as well as global and race-based medical mistrust, each have a negative impact on health outcomes and engagement in care (EIC) independently. This study addresses gaps in the literature by examining the impact of these psychosocial barriers and their interactions among BWSW, an understudied population. Participants (256 BWSW) were surveyed at a Black Gay Pride festival. Separate generalized linear models assessed the independent and multiplicative effects of participants' self-reported sexual orientation stigma, race-based stigma, race-based medical mistrust, and global medical mistrust related to their engagement in routine physical exams and blood pressure screenings. Prevalence rates of both stigma measures were low, but prevalence rates of global and race-based medical mistrust were high. The results show that experiencing sexual orientation stigma or having race-based medical mistrust predicts significantly lower EIC. Furthermore, the frequencies of obtaining recent physical examinations and blood pressure screenings were significantly related to three- and two-way interactions between stigma and medical mistrust, respectively. There is an urgent need to address the intersectionality of these psychosocial barriers in an effort to increase BWSW's EIC.

Show moreReliabilities of scores for experimental tasks are likely to differ from one study to another to the extent that the task stimuli change, the number of trials varies, the type of individuals taking the task changes, the administration conditions are altered, or the focal task variable differs. Given that reliabilities vary as a function of the design of these tasks and the characteristics of the individuals taking them, making inferences about the reliability of scores in an ongoing study based on reliability estimates from prior studies is precarious. Thus, it would be advantageous to estimate reliability based on data from the ongoing study. We argue that internal consistency estimates of reliability are underutilized for experimental task data and in many applications could provide this information using a single administration of a task. We discuss different methods for computing internal consistency estimates with a generalized coefficient alpha and the conditions under which these estimates are accurate. We illustrate use of these coefficients using data for three different tasks.

Show moreTo conduct a model-driven meta-analysis of correlational research on psychological and motivational predictors of diabetes outcomes, with adherence factors as mediators. A comprehensive literature search of published and unpublished studies located a sample of 775 individual correlational or predictive studies reported across 739 research reports. Results varied according to the outcome variable included in the regression models. Depression had a larger negative effect on adherence to physical activity than on dietary adherence. Coping and self-efficacy were strongly related to dietary adherence, which was strongly related to improved glycemic control. Medication adherence was related to glycosylated hemoglobin, whereas medications and self-monitoring were related to fasting blood glucose. Adding appointment keeping to the models did not significantly alter the results. Self-efficacy was the most consistent predictor of all adherence behaviors and dietary adherence was the most significant predictor of HbA1c. Physical activity was the most predictive factor of BMI and glucose self-monitoring the most predictive of FBG. Metabolic control is a primary goal in T2DM, so the best pathway to attaining that goal appears to be an emphasis on self-efficacy and dietary adherence.

However, little investigation has examined specific links between personality and reading fluency. The researchers hypothesized that there is a direct relationship between personality and reading fluency when accounting for cognition. Findings indicate that the personality trait of Openness is a positive predictor of reading fluency ability; whereas, a significant negative relationship was found between Neuroticism and Reading Fluency. This information may help determine contributing factors in reading fluency problems and aid in intervention planning.

Our analysis revealed that RCTs supporting the positive effect of exercise on cognition are likely to include Type I Error(s). This result can be attributed to the use of gain score analysis on pretest-posttest data as well as the presence of control group superiority over the exercise group on baseline cognitive measures. To improve accuracy of causal inferences in this area, analysis of covariance on pretest-posttest data is recommended under the assumption of group equivalence. Important experimental procedures are discussed to maintain group equivalence.

Show moreGifted education (GE) in Singapore is entering its third decade. However, local research into the gifted is typically undertaken by graduate students and left as unpublished data. Internationally, there is also very little if any research on counseling models that have been empirically validated for use with gifted children irrespective of their country of origin and cultural experience. This article serendipitously originated from the second author’s visit to Singapore as a consulting scholar and his discussions with personnel at the Singapore Education Ministry’s GE Branch and interactions with local teachers and parents of gifted children. Drawing on the published wisdom of clinical experts and the second author who have provided counseling for gifted children, and the first author’s knowledge about Asian culture and educational context in Singapore, the article proposes an evidence-based counseling model that could serve the needs of gifted children in Singapore and possibly other Asian countries., This article overviews research on gifted children in Singapore, and proposes an evidence-based counseling model that is based on theory and also culturally relevant to Asian populations., This article aims to add to the research literature on Singapore’s gifted children population, which is not widely studied. In addition to drawing from clinical research, the authors use their own expertise on Asian culture and on gifted children to propose an evidence-based counseling model that is not only theoretically sound, but locally relevant.

ROC analyses for SSIS-PSG Math with math grades and SSIS-PSG Reading with reading grades were statistically significant and described as fair (Compton et al., 2010). ROC analysis for SSIS-PSG Prosocial Behavior with conduct grades was not significant and described as poor (Compton et al., 2010). In a conditional probability analysis, the variable of concern for screeners concerns false negative ratios (Compton et al., 2010); all estimates for this fell within the targeted range.

Such systems usually consist of several processes including (1) a context determination process which identifies (or creates) tasks - contexts in which evidence can be gathered,|(2) an evidence capture process which records the work product produced by the student interacting with the task, (3) an evidence identiffication process which captures observable outcome variables believed to have evidentiary value, and (4) an evidence accumulation system which integrates evidence across multiple tasks (contexts), which often can be implemented using a Bayesian network. In suchsystems, aws may be present in the conceptualization, identification of requirements or implementation of any one of the processes. In later stages of development, bugs are usually associated with a particular task. Tasks which have exceptionally high or unexpectedly low information associated with their observable variables may be problematic and merit further investigation. This paper identifies individuals with unexpectedly high or low scores and uses weight-of-evidence balance sheets to identify problematic tasks for follow-up.We illustrate these techniques with work on the game Newton's Playground : an educational game designed to assess a stu- dent's understanding of qualitative physics

Title: Cross-cultural analysis of HPT: An empirical investigation of HPT competencies in the workplace in the United States and South Asia.
Creator: Vadivelu, Ramaswamay N., Klein, James D.
Abstract/Description: Recent research in the areas of human performance technology (HPT), organizational development, and cross-cultural training has suggested the need for developing managerial competencies that are effective in diverse cultural settings. Some competencies such as technical proficiency, knowledge of company systems, adaptability, and the ability to cope have been examined for their suitability in various cultures. However, there have been few efforts to examine the suitability and validity of HPT...
Show moreRecent research in the areas of human performance technology (HPT), organizational development, and cross-cultural training has suggested the need for developing managerial competencies that are effective in diverse cultural settings. Some competencies such as technical proficiency, knowledge of company systems, adaptability, and the ability to cope have been examined for their suitability in various cultures. However, there have been few efforts to examine the suitability and validity of HPT competencies in cross-cultural settings. This exploratory study investigates the application of HPT competencies across two regions of the world. On the basis of a survey of more than 100 industry professionals, we obtained data indicating the frequency of application of a set of core HPT competencies in the United States and South Asian regions. Findings revealed significant differences between how practitioners in these two regions apply performance analysis, cause analysis, and intervention design and development competencies. Results suggest that cultural differences might be affecting how practitioners in these regions are applying HPT. Possible areas for future studies are discussed., In this study, the application of human performance technology (HPT) competencies across U.S. and South Asian regions was examined. Survey responses from over 100 industry professionals were used to observe the frequency and application of HPT. There were significant differences between how professionals in each region apply HPT competencies. Results suggest HPT practitioners from South Asia may be involved in more generic human resource job roles, while participants from the U.S seemed to be involved with more specific job roles, primarily dealing with training and performance improvement initiatives. Most HTP processes are based on Western values, but the authors conclude that the majority of the surveyed competencies appear to be applicable in South Asia and in the U.S. The authors suggest the differences might be due to distinctive features of U.S. and South Asia cultures., This study found significant differences between U.S. and South Asian professionals in their application of human performance technology (HPT) competencies, which the authors speculate is due to significant cultural differences between these two regions.

Title: Degree of Alignment between Beginning Teachers' Practices and Beliefs about Effective.
Creator: Roehrig, Alysia D., Turner, Jeannine, Grove, Crissie Mae, Schneider, Naomi, Liu, Zhu
Abstract/Description: Six beginning teachers were compared to an exemplary, experienced teacher. Teacher beliefs, classroom practices, and student engagement data were coded from theory-driven and data-driven perspectives. The strongest teachers demonstrated alignment between promotive/positive practices, beliefs, and students' engagement. The weakest teachers, whose students were less consistently engaged, demonstrated alignment between undermining practices and beliefs. For beginning teachers, with misaligned...
Show moreSix beginning teachers were compared to an exemplary, experienced teacher. Teacher beliefs, classroom practices, and student engagement data were coded from theory-driven and data-driven perspectives. The strongest teachers demonstrated alignment between promotive/positive practices, beliefs, and students' engagement. The weakest teachers, whose students were less consistently engaged, demonstrated alignment between undermining practices and beliefs. For beginning teachers, with misaligned practices and beliefs, there may be potential for improving practices with experience. A testable model emerged depicting a metacognitive feedback loop for teachers who are aware of their shortcomings and place responsibility for students' behaviors and learning on themselves.

Show morePurpose: To examine the extent to which rehabilitation counselor educators understand and are committed to infusing social justice in the rehabilitation counseling curricula. Method. The authors used a quantitative descriptive research design to examine the level and extent of integrating social justice into rehabilitation counseling curricular. The participants were 59 rehabilitation counselor educators recruited during the 8th Annual Rehabilitation Educators Conference hosted by the National Council on Rehabilitation Education (NCRE). Results. The study found that a majority of participants perceived it important to integrate social justice into rehabilitation counseling curricula. The level and extent of integration varied by academic rank and years of teaching. Conclusion. To ensure future rehabilitation counselors gain social justice competency, it is of great significance that rehabilitation counseling educators infuse the concepts of social justice into the curricula through knowledge and fieldwork domains., This study found small differences in how 59 rehabilitation counselor educators responded to the idea of integrating social justice to the rehabilitation counseling curricula. Overall, the survey showed younger academics more willing than older academics to incorporate social justice into their curriculum., For this study, the authors wanted to examine the extent to which rehabilitation counselor educators understand and are committed to social justice in their profession. In this case, social justice was defined as the equal treatment, support, and fair distribution of societal resources to all individuals, particularly the marginalized and disabled. In total, 59 responses to a survey were collected at a national conference in San Antonio, Texas. The study found that most educators acknowledged the importance of including social justice in their teaching and research work, and younger academics appeared more willing to incorporate social justice into the curriculum than older academics. The authors also discussed limitations and future directions of the study.
