This article explores some of the core values which underpin student voice work. We are in very early stages trying to understand that surround and hope develop these understandings by drawing on work various educational theorists. Throughout we examine complexities arise theorizing voice, allude practical implications context schools school improvement.
The paper considers theoretical notions of power in relation to student voice. As an action‐oriented practice some aspects voice have received little theorisation as yet. This aims contribute a growing body work on which is addressing its current under‐elaboration. It does so by concentrating the dimension power. central argument that significant factor shaping both philosophical underpinnings and practical assumptions are made about what possible work. focuses British context. examines...
This article applies theoretical understandings of power relations within student voice work to two empirical examples school-based projects. The builds on and refines participation developed in previous articles written by the authors. first argued that at heart are four core values: communication as dialogue; democratic inclusivity; recognition unequal problematic; possibility for change transformation (Robinson & Taylor, 2007); second focused a theorization (Taylor Robinson, 2009)....
To compare the cumulative (3-day) effect of prolonged sitting on metabolic responses during a mixed meal tolerance test (MTT), with that is regularly interrupted brief bouts light-intensity walking. Overweight/obese adults (n=19) were recruited for randomized, 3-day, outpatient, cross-over trial involving: (1) 7-h days uninterrupted (SIT); and (2) activity breaks [BREAKS; 2-min treadmill walking (3.2 km/h) every 20 min (total: 17 breaks/day)]. On 1 3, participants underwent MTT (75 g...
Young children are often ignored or marginalised in the drive to address children’s participation and their wider set of rights. This is case generally social research, as well within field Arts-Based Education Research. article contributes growing literature on young involvement arts-based by providing a reflective account our learning playful engagement with using creative methods. small pilot project forms part larger international titled Look Who’s Talking: Eliciting Voices Children from...
Given the current necessity of retaining qualified nurses, a self-care program consisting Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation classes, and Reiki healing sessions was designed for university-based hospital. The effectiveness these interventions evaluated using journals analyzed Heideggerian phenomenological approach. Outcomes classes described by nurses included: (a) noticing sensations warmth, tingling, pulsation which were relaxing, (b) becoming aware an enhanced problem solving ability, (c)...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider recent developments in student engagement practices within higher education institutions (HEIs) and reflect upon the practical reality challenges faced by HEIs as they develop such practices. Design/methodology/approach Consideration given theoretical understandings around institutional social power relations influence relationships can have on development HEIs. work Giroux, Freire Foucault drawn help deepen understanding at play HEI Findings...
That the United Nations Convention on Rights of Child (UNCRC) encompasses contradictions is known. Despite this knowledge, attention to conflicting aspects within convention limited, and instead, assumption that represents an international consensus meaning children's human rights seems be widespread in policy academic work. Furthermore, available literature field largely silent regarding precise elaborated knowledge about inherent UNCRC. This paper expands upon specifies inconsistencies...
The use of recorded lecture videos (RLVs) in mathematics instruction continues to advance. Prior research at the post-secondary level has indicated a tendency for RLV be negatively correlated with academic performance, although it is unclear whether this because regular users are generally weaker students or somehow depressing student learning. Through lens cognitive engagement, quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design study was conducted investigate latter possibility.Cognitive...
The United Nations (UN) asserts that children and young people should have access to human rights education (HRE) schools are one of the key means through which HRE be made available. However, there is currently limited knowledge about presence form in school contexts, no established provision within evaluated. This paper proposes a theoretical framework support classification teachers' responsibilities relation argues systemic change needed systems if realised more extensive consistent...
In recent years, the increase in number of people entering university has contributed to a greater variability background those beginning programmes. Consequently, it become even more important understand student’s prior knowledge given subject. Two main reasons for this are produce suitable first year curriculum and ascertain whether student would benefit from additional support. Therefore, order that any necessary steps can be taken improve performance, ultimate goal ability predict future...
Grounded in children’s rights, this article advances understanding of the affordances and constraints implementing Article 12 United Nations Convention on Rights Child educational settings with young children – those under 7. It starts from premise that if we are to foster democratic skills people, need develop practices support earliest age. The presents outcomes a seminar series facilitating dialogue among international academics working field range early years practitioners. This...
Children continue to experience harm when undergoing clinical procedures despite increased evidence of the need improve provision child-centred care. The international ISupport collaboration aimed develop standards outline and explain good procedural practice rights children within context a procedure. rights-based for tests, treatments, investigations, examinations interventions were developed using an iterative, multi-phased, multi-method multi-stakeholder consensus building approach.

ABSTRACT The Children Act, 1989, requires that services for children are provided in partnership with parents and the wishes feelings of child his/her ascertained given due consideration (sect. 22). As part a research project assessing quality to disabilities under authors carried out evaluations six residential respite care services. were used mainly by learning difficulties, some whom had little or no speech. Staff at schools attended asked interview them, so their views could be included...
Students' lack of preparedness for the mathematical demands higher education is affecting a wide range programmes in universities worldwide. In UK this has been recognized at highest levels and provoked several inquiries. The ability to use mathematics courses as varied nursing, biosciences, business an essential skill success. Any factors that diminish students' perform competently will impact upon large groups. Consequences include failure, loss self-esteem financial losses. Conversely,...
Abstract In this article, we consider the transformation of tertiary mathematics lecture practice. We undertake a focused examination related research with two goals in mind. First, document research, reviewing findings key studies and noting that reflective pieces on individual practice as well surveys are more prevalent than empirical studies. Second, investigate issues to by emergence e-lectures. discuss latter terms claims about efficiencies offered new technologies contrast these...
Electrostatic potential maps (EPM) have the to support organic chemistry students in seeing reaction mechanisms through perspective of electrostatic attraction. Prior any pedagogical changes, foundational knowledge on how use EPMs particular contexts would be needed inform integrate into instruction. This study describes an exploration during two card sort tasks. Seventeen undergraduate participated interview that included open and closed sort. The interviews were inductively coded identify...
