  • Navigating Black Identity Development: the Power of Interactive Multicultural Read Alouds with Elementary-Aged Children
    education sciences Article Navigating Black Identity Development: The Power of Interactive Multicultural Read Alouds with Elementary-Aged Children Rebekah E. Piper College of Education and Human Development, Texas A&M University-San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78224, USA; [email protected] Received: 9 April 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 18 June 2019 Abstract: Racial identity development in young children is influenced by interactions with teachers and curriculum in schools. This article, using the framework of critical race theory, critical literacy, and critical pedagogy, explores how three elementary-aged Black children view their own identity development. Specifically, observing how children interact with Movement-Oriented Civil Rights-Themed Children’s Literature (MO-CRiTLit) in the context of a non-traditional summer literacy program, Freedom Schools, to influence their Black identity. Professional development and preservice teacher preparation are needed to support teachers as they navigate through learning about pedagogical practices that increase student engagement. Keywords: critical literacy; Civil Rights; Black identity; children 1. Introduction The central question addressed by the Supreme Court during the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (1954) [1] was whether the segregation of children in public schools based on their race, deprived minoritized children of equal educational opportunities when everything else was equal [2–4]. This question has been, and continues to be, answered in the negative, as evidenced in an educational system in which Children of Color are repeatedly reported to have lower reading and numeracy scores in comparison to their white peers. In 2003, Education Trust, Inc. reported that, nationally, fourth-grade African-Americans fell behind their white peers in reading.

  • The Reasoning Skills and Thinking Dispositions of Problem Gamblers: a Dual-Process Taxonomy
    Journal of Behavioral Decision Making J. Behav. Dec. Making, 20: 103–124 (2007) Published online 22 September 2006 in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/bdm.544 The Reasoning Skills and Thinking Dispositions of Problem Gamblers: A Dual-Process Taxonomy MAGGIE E. TOPLAK1*, ELEANOR LIU2, ROBYN MACPHERSON3, TONY TONEATTO2 and KEITH E. STANOVICH3 1York University, Canada 2Centre forAddiction and Mental Health,Toronto, Canada 3University of Toronto, Canada ABSTRACT We present a taxonomy that categorizes the types of cognitive failure that might result in persistent gambling. The taxonomy subsumes most previous theories of gambling behavior, and it defines three categories of cognitive difficulties that might lead to gambling problems: The autonomous set of systems (TASS) override failure, missing TASS output, and mindware problems. TASS refers to the autonomous set of systems in the brain (which are executed rapidly and without volition, are not under conscious control, and are not dependent on analytic system output). Mindware consists of rules, procedures, and strategies available for explicit retrieval. Seven of the eight tasks administered to pathological gamblers, gamblers with subclinical symptoms, and control participants were associated with problem gambling, and five of the eight were significant predictors in analyses that statistically controlled for age and cognitive competence. In a commonality analysis, an indicator from each of the three categories of cognitive difficulties explained significant unique variance in problem gambling, indicating that each of the categories had some degree of predictive specificity. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. key words dual-process theories; problem gambling; human reasoning; intuitive and analytic processing Pathological gambling is defined as ‘‘persistent and recurrent maladaptive gambling behavior that disrupts personal, family, and vocational pursuits’’ (DSM-IV-TR, American Psychiatric Association, 2000, p.

  • Meta-Effectiveness Excerpts from Cognitive Productivity: Using Knowledge to Become Profoundly Effective
    Meta-effectiveness Excerpts from Cognitive Productivity: Using Knowledge to Become Profoundly Effective Luc P. Beaudoin, Ph.D. (Cognitive Science) Adjunct Professor of Education Adjunct Professor of Cognitive Science Simon Fraser University EDB 7505, 8888 University Drive Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6 Canada [email protected] Skype: LPB2ha http://sfu.ca/~lpb/ Last Revised: 2015–05–31 (See revision history) I recently wrote a blog post containing some importants concepts for understanding adult development of competence (including “learning to learn”). The overarching concept of that topic, and Cognitive Productivity, is meta-effectiveness, i.e., the abilities and dispositions (or “mindware”) to use knowledge to become more effective. Effectance is a component of meta-effectiveness. The concepts of meta-effectiveness and effectance being both subtle and important, I am publishing in this document a few excerpts from my book (Cognitive Productivity) to elucidate them. You will notice that I am critical of the position espoused by Dennett (e.g., in Inside Jokes) that the tendency to think is pleasure- seeking in disguise. Also, I’ve modernized White’s concept of effectance, aligning it with Sloman’s concept of architecture-based motivation. I have also updated David Perkins’ concept of mindware.

  • The Role of Children's Racial Identity and Its Impact on Their
    THE ROLE OF CHILDREN’S RACIAL IDENTITY AND ITS IMPACT ON THEIR SCIENCE EDUCATION by Lisa Mekia McDonald Dissertation Committee: Professor Felicia Moore Mensah, Sponsor Professor Denise Mahfood Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date: ___________________________________February 12, 2020 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2020 ABSTRACT THE ROLE OF CHILDREN’S RACIAL IDENTITY AND ITS IMPACT ON THEIR SCIENCE EDUCATION Lisa Mekia McDonald Racial identity plays an important role in the development of children’s narratives. In the structure of the classroom there is a disconnect for students between home and school. The structure of the classroom consists of the social relationships that children have with their peers and teachers. The structure of the classroom also includes how the classroom is set up for learning, such as the curriculum. Racial identity is also a valuable aspect in the construction of knowledge as children learn science. Racial identity is not often addressed with young children and science. Young children need to be able to see themselves in science regardless of their own race or ethnicity. Critical race theory (CRT) was used to examine and situate the context of race with children’s identity. Sociocultural theory was used to describe their process of learning. The participants of this study included 10 children in grades 3 through 5 who attended a diverse urban school located in New York City and their parents (10 parents). A qualitative approach was used to allow both children and parents to share their perspectives on their experience with science and difficult topics that pertain to race and/or skin color.

Lac University of Texas-San Antonio, San Antonio, USA Introduction I enter this teacher action research project with an interest in studying how I, as a high school teacher, developed a critical race pedagogy (CRP) curriculum for students in an out-of-school context. My intrigue with race started at an early age growing up in Oakland, California, where my classmates were primarily of African American, Central American, and Southeast Asian descent. As a Southeast Asian student in Oakland schools, even with 100% students of color in my classes, my teachers in school rarely talked about race or racism.
