Nov 19th 2024, 14:09

Abstract
Previous work has underestimated the interdependent meaning system of beliefs, values, goals, and actions that comprise educator mindsets and integrate content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and dispositions to influence educator professional learning, shape practice, and catalyze school reform. The role of collective educator mindsets and the mindset environment has yet to be explored in depth. Using situational analysis, researchers investigated educator mindsets to foster deeper learning across 18 network high schools. Across an extensive body of qualitative data including 186 individual and focus group interviews with teachers, students, and administrators, data illuminate the interactions among educator beliefs, school features, and opportunities for deeper learning. Results indicate a shared educator ideology valuing high performance and continuous improvement where teachers are given collaborative autonomy to provide students differentiated pathways toward deeper learning within authentic contexts. Researchers posit an emerging theory that illustrates how educators’ individual and collective beliefs align within the situation of deeper learning networks to influence educational change. The theory has potential to illustrate the interpersonal, intrapersonal, and contextual mechanisms that influence the role of collectively empowered educators in catalyzing change within schools and broader networks.

Nov 19th 2024, 13:07

Abstract
The lack of a cohesive, stakeholder-informed refugee health research agenda has been a barrier to promoting, funding, and conducting health research with refugee populations in North America. A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals working in refugee health in North America (N = 93) to describe major domains within the field of refugee health research and to develop refugee health research priorities. Open-ended survey questions included: (1) What research topics specific to refugee research would you like to see in an international research agenda? (2) Please describe current and important gaps that you believe exist in refugee research and why? Overarching themes focused on the need for the development of research partnerships with refugee communities that are intentional, effective, and driven by the needs of refugee communities. The survey also identified a need for best practices in creating sustainable, community-based research partnerships (effective models and evidence-based strategies) that translate across 12 domains. The refugee health research priorities for North America described in this manuscript should continue to be modified over time as political, economic, social, and medical contexts change.

Nov 19th 2024, 12:08

Abstract
The current literature review is part of a project-based study exploring the perceptions of university students, scholars, and policymakers in Bulgaria on the issue of academic plagiarism. The paper focuses on plagiarism prevention. The review explores the issue of plagiarism in light of the psychological motivations behind the conscious act of the misconduct, outlining possible directions for minimizing the misconduct in academia in the areas of psychology, law and education separately and in combination. The current literature review considers the misconduct of plagiarism as a universal phenomenon closely linked to the heuristics of human nature. The paper delves into the heuristics of human nature motivating the misconduct from personal, cultural, legal, and educational psychology perspectives, drawing general (universal) and specific (for the Bulgarian context) implications regarding culture and educational and legal policy. Creating, regulating and preserving an empathic, trauma-healing and value-oriented organisational environment in academia emerges as a positive point of convergence and synergy where psychology meets education, culture and the law.

Nov 19th 2024, 11:09

Abstract
This study aims to characterise inter-organisational collaboration and support networks between schools in a privatised, marketised, and competitive school system. It is located within and contributes to a body of literature on school networks, which has primarily focused on studying the architecture and conditions for the sustainability of the arrangements where collaboration and support between schools are meant to take place. However, there has been less focus on examining the partnerships themselves, particularly those formed organically by schools. This is an exploratory study that takes a novel convergent mixed-method egonet Social Network Analysis approach. Primary data were produced from interviews with sixteen primary school headteachers from a local area in Santiago, Chile. Participants were encouraged to name and reflect on other schools with which their schools have an inter-organisational relationship. Insights show that schools draw on both mandated and organically formed inter-organisational relationships to collaborate and support each other. These ties tend to be built with schools alike and geographically close. Some of the main drivers to turn to others are ensuring the sustainability of schools, generating coordinated responses to policy mandates, sharing practice and knowledge, and ensuring students’ schooling trajectories. This study, situated within the broader context of school networking literature, proposes that schools exist within multiple networks, with various connections serving different purposes, some of which are rarely acknowledged. It suggests that while formal school networks and governance structure are important, they are insufficient to represent the inter-organisational relationships in which schools are involved.

Nov 19th 2024, 11:07

Abstract
Nudges are a way to steer people’s behavior through changes in how choices are presented. Nudge research has been incorporated into public policy in many countries, and nudge research, thus, has the potential to directly influence societies and individuals. As a result, research ethics for nudge research is needed to ensure that nudges developed are not instances of unethical manipulation of people. In this paper, I argue that two types of slippery slopes from ethically fine nudges to ethically problematic ones can take place in nudge research. The conceptual slippery slope follows from (1) the broad way of defining nudges, (2) the multitude of different ways of understanding manipulation of people, (3) many manipulation definitions implying that some nudges are manipulative, and (4) some forms of manipulation of people being prima facie wrong. The empirical slippery slope rests, first, on the possibility of small steps from ethically acceptable to wrong nudges, and second, on the cognitive limits typical to human beings (including nudge researchers). Both slippery slope arguments imply the need to of nudge researchers to create so-called firebreaks. The firebreaks can take the form of ethical justifications. To avoid slippery slopes, certain types of arguments should be excluded from these justifications.

In the short term, allowing social workers to practice across state lines can provide immediate relief to communities experiencing a severe shortage of mental health practitioners. If it goes into effect, the Social Work Licensure Compact’s multistate license would allow licensed social workers to practice in all participating states without going through the lengthy process of relicensing themselves in each state.

Nov 19th 2024, 10:08

Abstract
Servant Research is a new term to describe a framework for research that is grounded in social responsibility and humanistic principles and is designed to specifically and intentionally improve the lives of people and communities. Servant Research can be used to describe research that exists across many different research methodologies, settings, and disciplines and addresses a multitude of individual or societal problems, inequities, or needs. When scholars engage in Servant Research, they design, implement, and disseminate research that is embedded with core characteristics, including valuing people, giving back, empowering others, and performing service. A second new term introduced within the Servant Research framework, research humility, describes scholars who value the expertise of, and are willing to learn from, those who have traditionally not held positions of power. Scholars who engage in Servant Research face challenges, including rigid promotion and tenure guidelines, perceptions from some within the Academy that research of this type is less rigorous than other approaches, the lack of clear ethical guidelines to address the complexity of the work, the emotionally draining aspects of this type of scholarship, and the often-time-consuming nature of this work which can limit productivity. The introduction of this framework offers scholars a label to describe the meaning-making that is at the core of their research, provides a shared nomenclature for scholars using a multitude of methodologies and from a variety of disciplines, and gives a structure to a meaningful discourse about the engagement of scholars in the social responsibility mission of the university.

Nov 19th 2024, 10:08

Abstract
In higher education in the United States, the language of honor is prevalent in academic settings. For the purposes of creating a fair educational environment and aiding in students’ personal character development, many universities and colleges implement honor systems that require students to adhere to honor codes. Most of these honor systems penalize forms of academic dishonesty, with some extending to include inappropriate social behaviors such as discrimination and harassment. We argue that the focus of academic honor systems on sanctioning honor violations overemphasizes the extrinsic motivation for compliance and detracts from the intended goal to nurture personal character development and the intrinsic motivation to act honorably. Despite this divergence from their intended goal, academic honor systems should be preserved because, if modified to align with the psychological principles underlying intrinsic motivation and the internalization of and adherence to moral norms, they can serve the significant goal, especially in an educational setting, of shaping individuals and a society that value honor and integrity.

Nov 19th 2024, 09:08

Abstract
Many ethnographic researchers have raised concerns over the potential impacts that the institutionalization of ethics review boards can have on social science research, especially within healthcare settings. However, few articles to-date have documented how these norms and practices play out in actuality. This paper, therefore, uses autoethnography to provide an account of three ethical challenges that arose during my process of seeking ethics approval through institutional review boards to conduct ethnographic fieldwork in a healthcare setting. In doing so, I demonstrate how bureaucratic accountability took precedence over my research expertise, making the research that I initially set out to do inaccessible, questionable, and ‘unethical’, despite being carried out in accordance with the current standards governing research involving human participants and their data. I conclude with ways to move beyond this existing ethics structure towards a more collaborative approach between ethics boards, researchers, and research participants grounded within the realities of the field.

Nov 19th 2024, 08:09

Abstract
In appointing senior administrators, universities must contend with competing functional and aspirational social expectations. In recent times, such aspirational demands have gravitated around fair representation of equity-seeking groups, but in Canada, as in many jurisdictions, appointment data are neither collected nor reported, and progress remains undetermined. The article reports on a study of 187 Canadian university provostial appointments published between 2012 and 2023. Data on gender, race and Indigeneity, appointment type, previous experience, and provenance were collected to draw a longitudinal analysis of the demographics and career trajectories of Canadian university provosts. Findings show that important transformations are taking place in Canadian universities. Female appointees have breached parity, while racialized and Indigenous appointees remain underrepresented, and universities increasingly rely on interim and external appointments. Potential effects related to the COVID-19 global pandemic are examined.

Nov 19th 2024, 07:11

Abstract

Background
Cancer clinical trials are crucial for treatment standards and innovation but lack racial-ethnic diversity. Understanding physician perspectives on recruiting participants is critical due to their role in decision-making about trial candidacy and enrollment.

Methods
>From August 2021 to January 2022 we recruited 13 Academic hematologists experienced with treating blood cancers and enrolling clinical trial participants. Each hematologist participated in a 60-75-minute semistructured interview and completed a sociodemographic survey. Using the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities multilevel model as a framework, we characterized hematologists’ perceived barriers to clinical trial participation among Black persons. ATLAS.ti v9 and later v 23.2.1 was used for project management and to facilitate data analysis using the Sort and Sift, Think and Shift approach (ResearchTalk Inc).

Results
All hematologists were White, with 70% being male. Three factors influenced their perspectives on enrolling Black individuals in clinical trials: individual attitudes and beliefs, such as perceptions that Black or socioeconomically disadvantaged persons will be less willing or less compliant with the requirements for trial participation and follow-up. The need to build trusting relationships between themselves and patients prior to discussing clinical trials and the prevailing legacy of medical mistrust among the Black community. Trust was found to be the underlying factor in determining communication between hematologists and Black persons about clinical trials across all three levels.

Conclusion
This study highlights how hematologists’ attitudes, beliefs, biases, and views on trust in patient relationships influence their communication with Black individuals about clinical trials. It emphasizes the need for further research to develop interventions that address the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in trials.

Nov 19th 2024, 07:08

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate how AI impacts students’ intrinsic motivation and learning experiences in various cultural and academic settings. An analysis of the effects of AI-powered learning tools on intrinsic motivation and learning enhancement was conducted in early 2024. The study recruited 455 students (192 males and 263 females) from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Poland who were studying diverse majors in educational faculties. Using a 5-point Likert scale, the validated instrument included three dimensions with a total of 10 items: intrinsic motivation and AI, AI and enhancing learning, and overall perception of AI in education. Significant differences were found by nationality and major, with Polish students and education technology majors showing the highest motivation levels. As a result of enhancing learning experiences, autonomy, and critical thinking skills, AI tools were found to positively influence motivation. Motivation, however, was not significantly influenced by academic level. Despite ethical concerns, students held a moderately positive view of artificial intelligence in education. Further research on optimal AI implementation and ethical considerations in education is necessary based on these findings.

Nov 19th 2024, 05:08

Abstract
The current study examined how participation in an undergraduate research experience (URE) that provides a counterspace affects sociocognitive factors (science self-efficacy, science identity, and academic self-concept) and how they, in turn, may shape science career intention in a sample of STEM undergraduate students. STEM majors from a public university in California completed surveys from 2017 to 2020 and rated their science identity, science self-efficacy, academic self-concept, and their intention to pursue a science-related research career. Structural equation modeling shows that URE participants reported higher (a) science self-efficacy, (b) science identity, and (c) academic self-concept relative to students who did not participate in the URE. While there was an indirect effect of science self-efficacy on science career intention mediated by science identity, higher science self-efficacy and academic self-concept were negatively associated with the intention to pursue a science career. MANOVA results suggest that URE participants fared better than non-URE students in all outcomes across all sub-groups. These results highlight the importance of an identity-focused UREs and the counterspace it fosters among STEM majors from diverse backgrounds.

Nov 19th 2024, 04:38

We know that we need to address the lack of investment in social care and social work due to real-terms cuts to core council budgets. Ninety-seven per cent of councils have staff shortages in social care, 90 per cent have shortages in social work and 6,120 people are waiting for a social care assessment.

Nov 19th 2024, 04:20

Abstract

Background
Why do some adults with chronic pain misuse their prescription opioids when others do not? Based on the extended Common-Sense Model, the study evaluated whether adults’ beliefs about their pain have an indirect effect on risk of opioid misuse through beliefs about opioids when controlling for depression.

Methods
The sample included 297 adult participants in the U.S. recruited from Prolific, an online crowdsourcing website. Study measures included the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R; protective and threat-related illness beliefs about chronic pain), the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire-Specific subscale (BMQ-Specific; concern and necessity medication beliefs about prescription opioids), and the Current Opioid Misuse Measure (COMM; risk of current opioid misuse). This cross-sectional parallel mediation analysis was conducted using MPlus.

Results
After controlling for depression, the indirect effect of protective illness beliefs on opioid misuse risk through concern medication beliefs (b = -0.01, 95% CI (-0. 038, -0.001), and the indirect effect of threat-related illness beliefs on opioid misuse risk through necessity medication beliefs (b = 0.02, 95% CI (0.004, 0.036) were significant. The full model explained 35% of the variance of opioid misuse risk.

Conclusions
Adults with chronic pain with stronger protective beliefs about pain were less likely to have concerns about their opioids and were at lower risk for opioid misuse, while those with greater threat-related beliefs about pain were more likely to believe that their opioids were necessary and be at greater risk for opioid misuse. Results have implications for medical and mental health providers and future research.

Nov 19th 2024, 03:13

Abstract
Despite efforts to recruit and retain Black physicians, Black individuals continue to be underrepresented in medicine in the USA. Although numerous studies have investigated the experiences of academic physicians from racial/ethnic backgrounds underrepresented in medicine, the experience of Black academic physicians, who may face additional unique challenges, remains underinvestigated. Using a qualitative research design, we investigate barriers to and facilitators of success and well-being of Black faculty at one academic medical center through interviews of 30 Black faculty members. Overall, ten themes emerged as barriers or facilitators to faculty success and well-being. Significant barriers include continued lack of representation; devaluing of research in community health and health disparities, as well as other diversity-related activities; and both overt and implicit discrimination, which contribute to feelings of isolation and disrespect. Facilitators include having a community to maintain sense of belonging, financial support for health disparities and diversity-related contributions, and collaboration with peers. Good mentorship and sponsorship as well as an institutional culture that supports inclusion can play significant roles as facilitators, whereas the lack of these factors can present substantial barriers. Institutional policies and external socio-political factors have a major influence on both the barriers and facilitators to the success and well-being of Black faculty. Our study has put a clearer focus on barriers that are unique to or more pronounced among Black faculty and the facilitators that may serve to mitigate these barriers. These findings can inform the design of interventions to recruit and retain Black faculty in medicine.
