Substantial research has been put forth calling for the field of
social studies education to engage in work dealing with the
influence of race and racism within education and society (Branch,
2003; Chandler, 2015; Chandler & Hawley, 2017; Husband, 2010;
King & Chandler, 2016; Ladson-Billings, 2003; Ooka Pang, Rivera
& Gillette, 1998). Previous contributions have examined the
presence and influence of race/ism within the field of social
studies teaching and research (e.g. Chandler, 2015, Chandler &
Hawley, 2017; Ladson- Billings, 2003; Woyshner & Bohan, 2012).
In order to challenge the presence of racism within social studies,
research must attend to the control that whiteness and white
supremacy maintain within the field. This edited volume builds from
these previous works to take on whiteness and white supremacy
directly in social studies education. In Marking the "Invisible",
editors assemble original contributions from scholars working to
expose whiteness and disrupt white supremacy in the field of social
studies education. We argue for an articulation of whiteness within
the field of social studies education in pursuit of directly
challenging its influences on teaching, learning, and research.
Across 27 chapters, authors call out the strategies deployed by
white supremacy and acknowledge the depths by which it is used to
control, manipulate, confine, and define identities, communities,
citizenships, and historical narratives. This edited volume
promotes the reshaping of social studies education to: support the
histories, experiences, and lives of Students and Teachers of
Color, challenge settler colonialism and color-evasiveness, develop
racial literacy, and promote justice-oriented teaching and
learning.
Empirical and anecdotal data suggests that education technology
increases access to learning, democratizes knowledge, and increases
the breadth and richness of the learning experience. Due to this,
there is a need to disseminate awareness and information about the
role of emotional intelligence and technology from various
dimensions to help students and teachers maintain the quality of
e-learning and emotional well-being. Technology-Driven E-Learning
Pedagogy Through Emotional Intelligence provides updated research
perspectives focusing on the relationship between e-learning
pedagogy, technology, and emotional intelligence. Covering key
topics such as blended learning, resilience, social awareness, and
empathy, this reference work is ideal for administrators,
researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors,
and students.
This book examines the development of civic education in the United
States through the lives of two teachers at Shortridge High School
(SHS) in Indianapolis around 1900. After situating civic education
at the turn-of-the-century, the book describes the career of Laura
Donnan-her influences, teaching, extracurriculars, and civic
life-through the lens of her unique epistemology, shaped by
negotiating the gendered ideologies of her era. Then, the book
re-examines Arthur W. Dunn's career, focusing on his ten years at
SHS, and the influence of Donnan on his popular community civics
curriculum and subsequently the 1916 report "The Social Studies in
Secondary Education." Previous scholars have overlooked Dunn's time
at SHS, viewing it simply as a stepping stone for the progressive
educator's career. This book argues that Dunn's time at SHS was
pivotal to his career due to influential colleagues, primarily
Donnan. To conclude, Clark discusses the implications of Donnan's
epistemology in shaping civic education in the United States.
From a field developed out of the need to train military personnel
at scale to its current role in enabling virtual learning and
training experiences, instructional design has developed into a
complex, multifaceted discipline. The modern instructional design
process goes by many names (e.g., learning experience design,
learning engineering, training and development, organizational
development) and continues to adapt with continual changes in
society and skill development needs. From mobile to remote learning
as well as online and traditional classrooms, instructional
designers are faced with meeting the learner where they are to
design authentic and engaging learning experiences. Additionally,
learning development needs have expanded outside of formal learning
into professional development, on the job training, and continuous
learning.
Faculty and students confront persistent racial, economic, and
social inequities in higher education locally, nationally, and
globally. To counter these inequities, there has been a recent
focus on universities providing an inclusive curriculum that serves
the needs of students from a wide range of backgrounds. Inclusive
and equitable courses and instruction are crucial in today's world
as calls for racial and social justice grow, particularly in higher
education. Universities and instructors must take action and make
changes to best serve their students. Cases on Academic Program
Redesign for Greater Racial and Social Justice provides an
equity-oriented practical guide for those in higher education who
are engaged in the work of curricular reform or program
development. It also explores practices and approaches to
curriculum development that consider program quality and equitable
outcomes as mutually beneficial and necessary outcomes. Covering a
range of topics such as antiracism and mindful hiring, it is ideal
for teachers, instructional designers, curricula developers,
administrators, academics, professors, educators, researchers,
those working in higher education, and students.
