Machinability of B4C-reinforced Al2014 metal matrix composites in electric discharge machining
Authors: Farid Ahmadinia Omid , Küçüktürk Gökhan , Sucularlı Ferah , Gürün Hakan
Published: December 2022

This study was conducted to clarify the effect of various variables such as the type of electric discharge machining, discharge current and reinforcement content of B4C-reinforced Al alloy metal matrix composite on workpiece removal rate, electrode wear rate and material removed per discharge pulse, which are not extensively explored in the literature. B4C-reinforced Al2014 matrix composite samples containing 5 and 10 vol.-% B4C particles, produced by vacuum infiltration method, were machined with electric discharge machining and powder mixed electric discharge machining at various discharge current settings. In both types of machining processes, the workpiece removal rate and electrode wear rates decreased and increased, respectively, when the reinforcement contents of the composites increased. However, powder-mixed electric discharge machining enhanced the machining stability, and a comparatively higher workpiece removal rate was observed with a decreased electrode wear rate. On the other hand, by increasing the discharge current, which was also verified as the most effective machining parameter in variance analysis, both workpiece removal rate and electrode wear rate values increased in both machining techniques. The experimentally calculated volumetric workpiece material removed by a discharge pulse was compared to that of a model in the literature, and they were also found to be consistent with each other.

Authors: Pérez-Soriano Eva M. , Montealegre-Meléndez Isabel , Arévalo Cristina , Kitzmantel Michael , Neubauer Erich
Published: December 2022

Regarding titanium matrix composites (TMCs), their properties strongly depend on the reinforcement material employed for their manufacturing; this may lead to a multitude of investigations on TMCs. Considering the diverse typology of the reinforcement, six types of ceramic particles were tested in this investigation: B4C, SiB6, TiB2, TiC, TiN, and BN. In order to compare their behaviour and their own influence on the properties of the TMCs, the same ratio was employed in the starting materials, 30% volume. Among the techniques for developing TMCs, a significant number of authors propose Powder Metallurgy as a favourable route. In this framework, the novel Rapid Sinter Pressing technique was employed to perform the present study, due to its flexibility, repeatability, and reproducibility, as well as short-run cycle times. The processing temperature (930 °C) was set with the intention of evaluating how the reinforcements behave differently depending on their reactivity with the Ti matrix. In this regard, the main objective of the research was to carry out a comparison on the behaviour of seven TMCs fabricated with similar operational parameters via RSP.
Tourisme événementiel, politiques publiques et développement socioculturel à Dublin
Authors: Quinn Bernadette , Vieira Fernandes Ana Maria , Ryan Theresa
Published: December 2022

Dans un monde hyper globalisé et concurrentiel, les stratégies urbaines mettent souvent en avant les festivals et les événements en tant qu’activités susceptibles d’attirer des touristes et des investisseurs, étendre la saison touristique et développer l’économie. Le terme « tourisme événementiel » est aujourd’hui bien établi dans le lexique touristique, même s’il n’est souvent employé que dans un sens relativement restreint qui ne révèle qu’une partie de ce phénomène complexe. Pour pallier ce déficit, le présent article examine le cas de la ville de Dublin où, au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années, les pouvoirs publics ont utilisé les festivals et les événements pour consolider le statut international de la ville. L’objectif est d’étudier si les pouvoirs publics peuvent utiliser les événements pour à la fois poursuivre des buts touristiques et soutenir un développement socioculturel plus large. Sur le plan méthodologique, l’étude entreprend une analyse détaillée et critique de documents officiels qui mettent les festivals et les événements en relation avec le tourisme. Elle met à jour tout un éventail de perspectives politiques à l’œuvre, mais la tendance globale est clairement à ce que les festivals et les événements soient formatés dans une perspective urbaine entrepreneuriale qui sous-estime les enjeux sociaux et culturels. Par opposition, un second ensemble de résultats, issus d’une recherche préliminaire entreprise à propos d’un des principaux festivals à vocation touristique de la ville, montre comment les expériences de festival peuvent générer du plaisir, de la sociabilité, de la fierté, de l’inclusion et un sentiment d’appartenance tant pour les touristes que pour les autres publics urbains, tout en générant des retombées économiques. Prises conjointement, les conclusions de l’analyse des politiques publiques et celles de l’étude de cas empirique indiquent le besoin de repenser la manière dont les événements et le tourisme se recoupent pour produire des résultats optimaux, tout particulièrement en cette époque post-pandémie où les villes de par le monde sont en quête d’un avenir touristique plus durable. L’étude recommande que la conception des politiques en matière de tourisme adopte un cadre conceptuel plus large, plus holistique, et suggère que la pratique pourrait apporter des enseignements utiles à l’élaboration de meilleures politiques.
Turismo de eventos, políticas públicas y desarrollo sociocultural en Dublín
Authors: Quinn Bernadette , Fernandes Ana Maria Vieira , Ryan Theresa
Published: December 2022

En un mundo muy globalizado y competitivo, las estrategias urbanas a menudo señalan los festivales y eventos como actividades capaces de atraer turistas e inversores, extender la temporada turística e impulsar la economía. El turismo de eventos como término se encuentra ahora bien asentado en el léxico del turismo, sin embargo, generalmente se emplea de una manera bastante limitada, ofreciendo una visión parcial de un fenómeno que es complejo. Para.corregir este déficit, este artículo examina el caso de Dublín, donde los responsables políticos han estado durante los últimos veinticinco años utilizando los festivales y los eventos para mejorar la posición internacional de la ciudad. El objetivo es investigar si los responsables políticos pueden utilizar estratégicamente los eventos para promover los objetivos turísticos y, al mismo tiempo, fomentar más ampliamente el desarrollo sociocultural. Metodológicamente, el estudio que se presenta, realiza un análisis detallado y crítico de los documentos de política pública que relacionan festivales y eventos con el turismo. Observa la existencia de una variedad de perspectivas políticas en juego, pero en general, se reconoce una clara tendencia a que los festivales y eventos se enmarquen desde una óptica empresarial urbana que subestima los problemas sociales y culturales. En contraste, un segundo conjunto de hallazgos analizados a partir de una investigación primaria realizada en uno de los principales festivales orientados al turismo en la ciudad muestra cómo las experiencias de festivales pueden generar disfrute, sociabilidad, orgullo, inclusión y pertenencia tanto para los turistas como para otros usuarios de la ciudad, al tiempo que producen retornos económicos. Juntos, los hallazgos del análisis de políticas y el caso empírico apuntan a la necesidad de repensar cómo los eventos y el turismo se cruzan para lograr resultados óptimos, especialmente en estos tiempos posteriores a la pandemia cuando las ciudades de todo el mundo buscan futuros turísticos más sostenibles. El estudio recomienda que la formulación de políticas de turismo de eventos adopte términos de referencia más amplios y holísticos y sugiere que las lecciones de la práctica podrían emplearse para informar mejores políticas.

Quels touristes et quelles pratiques touristiques pendant les Jeux Olympiques ?
Authors: Delaplace Marie , Schaffar Alexandra
Published: December 2022

Les Jeux Olympiques génèrent des attentes significatives en termes de dynamisation du tourisme dans les villes hôtes. Mais la littérature scientifique les relativise et montre la possibilité d’un effet d’éviction : certains touristes, se détournant de la destination en raison d’anticipations de phénomènes de congestion ou de hausse des prix des hébergements. En outre, les touristes intéressés par les Jeux Olympiques sont susceptibles d’avoir des caractéristiques et des pratiques spécifiques. Paris, une des premières villes touristiques au monde accueillera les jeux en 2024. Afin d’identifier les caractéristiques et les pratiques des touristes susceptibles d’être présents à cette date, une enquête a été réalisée en 2019 auprès de 1265 touristes internationaux et français. Les analyses statistiques conduites sur les données obtenues (analyses en composantes multiples, dendrogramme et modèle de régression linéaire) nous permettent de caractériser tant les touristes qui viendront que ceux qui ne viendront pas ainsi que leurs pratiques respectives en particulier en termes de sites visités.
Types of tourists and tourism practices during the Olympic Games.
Authors: Delaplace Marie , Schaffar Alexandra
Published: December 2022

The Olympic and Paralympic Games raise many expectations for tourism dynamism in host cities. However, the scientific literature shows that there is not always an expansion of tourism due to a possible crowding out effect of tourists: the anticipated congestion and the increase in accommodation rates discourage tourists from coming to the host city during this period. Moreover, tourists interested in the Olympic Games are likely to have specific characteristics and practices. Paris, one of the world’s leading tourist cities, will host the Games in 2024. In order to identify the characteristics and practices of tourists likely to be present at that time, a survey was carried out in 2019 with 1,265 international and French tourists. The statistical analyses conducted on the data obtained (multiple component analysis, dendrogram and linear regression model) allow us to characterize both the tourists who will come and those who will not as well as their respective practices, in particular concerning the visited sites.
Welche Touristen und welche touristischen Praktiken während der Olympischen Spiele?
Authors: Marie Delaplace , Alexandra Schaffar
Published: December 2022

Die Olympischen Spiele wecken erhebliche Erwartungen im Hinblick auf eine Belebung des Tourismus in den Gastgeberstädten. Die wissenschaftliche Literatur relativiert diese jedoch und verweist auf die Möglichkeit eines Verdrängungseffekts: Einige Touristen wenden sich vom Reiseziel ab, weil sie Überlastungserscheinungen oder steigende Preise für Unterkünfte erwarten. Darüber hinaus kann man annehmen, dass die an den Olympischen Spielen interessierten Touristen durch bestimmte Merkmale und Praktiken gekennzeichnet sind. Paris, eine der weltweit führenden Tourismusstädte, wird die Spiele im Jahr 2024 ausrichten. Um Merkmale und Praktiken von Touristen zu ermitteln, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt auftreten könnten, wurde 2019 eine Umfrage unter 1265 internationalen und französischen Touristen durchgeführt. Mittels statistischer Analysen der erhobenen Daten (Mehrkomponentenanalyse, Dendrogramm und lineares Regressionsmodell) können wir sowohl die Touristen, die kommen werden, als auch diejenigen, die nicht kommen werden, sowie ihre jeweiligen Praktiken insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Besuch von Sehenswürdigkeiten beschreiben.
Le patrimoine industriel, nouvel outil de promotion olympique ? Une analyse comparative
Authors: Roux Helena
Published: December 2022

Face aux controverses qui visent les Jeux Olympiques (JO), ceux-ci évoluent vers une plus grande intégration des enjeux locaux, en termes économiques, sociaux, et environnementaux. Associer l’accueil d’un tel évènement avec des politiques de régénération urbaine, apparaît comme un moyen de les inscrire dans un temps plus long de planification, autant que de nourrir leur mémoire. Présentés comme moteurs de transformations, ils contribuent à promouvoir ces espaces réinvestis et requalifiés, qui correspondent mieux à l’image de la ville globale compétitive. L’élaboration de stratégies touristiques découle de cette promotion territoriale, et apparaît comme un des débouchés économiques de la transition post-industrielle. En contrepoint, le réemploi du bâti industriel nourrit l’image d’un héritage positif et durable pour les Jeux Olympiques, comme déclencheurs d’un renouveau pour des friches industrielles en crise – tel que cela peut être décrit dans le récit olympique officiel. À travers l’analyse de trois études de cas, cet article a pour but de cerner la manière dont le développement touristique s’insère dans ces stratégies qui lient patrimoine industriel et héritage olympique.
Industrial heritage, a new tool for Olympic promotion? A comparative analysis.
Authors: Roux Helena
Published: December 2022

Faced with the controversies surrounding the Olympic Games (OG), they are moving towards a greater integration of local challenges – economic, social and environmental. Associating the hosting of such event with the urban regeneration policies appears to be a way to include them in longer planning periods, as well as ensure they are remembered. Presented as engines of transformations, they contribute to promotion of requalified and re-invested spaces that correspond better with the image of a competitive global city. The development of tourism strategies stems from this land promotion and appears as one of the economic outlets of the post-industrial transition. On the other hand, the reuse of industrial buildings helps build a positive image and a lasting legacy for the OG, as catalysts for regeneration of brownfields in crisis – as can be seen in the official Olympic narrative. Through the analysis of three case studies, this article aims to identify how does tourism development fit into these strategies that link industrial and Olympic heritage.

Deglobalization and Globalization Concerns
Authors: Amah Okechukwu Ethelbert
Published: December 2022

In the 21st century, nations are oscillating between globalization, deglobalization, protectionism, and localization. Issues considered while making decisions on what policy to follow include the economic boom, the slump in the economy, and politics. Nations adopt protectionism despite its known negative effects because of political reasons. The size of the economy of the developed countries allows them to implement these policies and withstand any adverse effect arising from isolation or retaliatory actions. The African continent cannot afford to find itself in this war between two elephants. Hence, the chapter reviewed the options available to Africa and recommended the adoption of localization aimed at building size and presenting a common competitive advantage that member states of the local bodies can employ. The chapter recommended certain changes to be made in leadership and mode of operation to avoid localization going the way of globalization.
Analyzing the Global Economy in the Post-Pandemic Recovery
Authors: Özsoy Özlem , Gürler Metin
Published: December 2022

More than two years have passed since the new type of coronavirus began in Wuhan, China. In addition, it has been more than 22 months since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic, and the world continues to struggle with new variants of the virus and cannot return to the old normal. Closures, lockdowns, and restrictions on foreign trade of goods and services have decreased global economic activity. It is seen that two important challenges have emerged due to the pandemic. First, the countries with limited health services capacity in the face of the increasing number of cases and deaths in the world had trouble to combat with the pandemic. Second, low-income countries which have difficulty in accessing medicines and vaccines having an important role in combating the pandemic are more distressed than other countries and need global support. It is seen that the inequality in income distribution between countries in the world also manifests itself in accessing drugs and vaccines.
Amplifying Student and Community Voices
Authors: LaCour Sarah E.
Published: December 2022

Observed achievement gaps and underlying opportunity gaps persist in schools in America, despite attempts to fix the problem. This persistence is due, in part, to the fact that there is no single silver bullet of an intervention that addresses the inequities in every school and district. The equity audit process this chapter discusses works by amplifying stakeholder voices to first identify inequitable practices of a given context, then matches interventions and best practices to those identified problem areas, and, finally, creates space for a review process with engaged stakeholders. The proposed methodology includes triangulating data from surveys, focus groups, policy document analysis, and available datasets. While the proposed process considers room for supplemental and nuanced inquiry, the author proposes key areas of investigation. Once data has been collected on these areas, the work continues by implementing best practices and continuing a system of evaluation and refinement.
Transforming the Internal Narrative of Black Boys From Brokenness to Brilliance
Authors: Storey Valerie A. , Walker Gwendolyn
Published: December 2022

The challenges affecting the educational trajectory of Black boys have long been recognized, and despite an increasing body of research, the disparate academic outcomes for this group remain. This chapter examines the identity development narrative of adolescent Black boys and the importance of warm demander educators in transitioning the internal narrative of Black boys from brokenness to brilliance. A two-dimensional warm demander structure for educators is presented. The 3Cs (care, challenge, and control) are described to aid teacher preparation programs in developing preservice teachers who can deliver culturally responsive pedagogy and possess the mindset to be a warm demander educator. The importance of including the student's voice in teacher evaluation is also discussed. Finally, recommendations are made to ensure that the school culture is one of warm demandingness where all students feel safe and challenged. It is only then that Black boys understand and believe that they are the owners of their destiny.

Published: December 2022

In this chapter, the authors focus on what Latinx students tell them they need in a culturally responsive classroom. The authors analyzed student reflection papers to understand what educators can do in the classroom to better respond to Latinx students' needs that may also improve the classroom for all students whether Latinx, immigrant, or native to the U.S. Four qualitative themes emerged from the reflection papers that were related to students' educational experiences. Recommendations are provided for educators on developing culturally responsive classrooms based on the results and Carl Roger's person-centered approach.
Exploring Literatura Fronteriza as Luminal Spaces for Bilingual Teachers
Authors: Horan Deborah A. , Griffin Krista M. , Ramirez María De Rosario
Published: December 2022

This chapter explores the potential of multilingual resources for use with bilingual preservice teachers (BPSTs) in a translanguaging community of practice. Among these resources were 30 picture books selected for their potential as literatura fronteriza (border crossing literature) that centers people of color. Findings suggest the value of offering BPSTs a translanguaging space for exploring these resources, followed by an opportunity to see the resources used in practice and culminating in reflective interactions. For Maria, the availability of a Spanish-language teaching resource further reinforced her heritage language identity while empowering her teacher discourse. Implications elevate the role of language in culturally and linguistically sustaining practices as well as expanded ways of viewing border crossing literature as connected to social emotional learning and trauma-informed care.
Are We Teaching the Whole Story?
Authors: Shaver Elizabeth Ann , Lowery Arine
Published: December 2022

This chapter examines the incorporation of marginalized Americans in high school American history state standards and selected curriculum guides in three southern states: Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Using critical race theory (CRT) as a lens, this study examines marginalized narratives and historic events within the standards and curriculum guides, specifically seeking to understand two big ideas: How are the narratives and experiences of marginalized Americans represented in high school American history standards and curriculum guides? and Which marginalized Americans, and events involving them, appear in the standards and curriculum guides? The findings suggest that even into the second decade of the 21st century, content coverage in these three states' high school American history curricula continues to trend toward over-representation of conditions of oppression and resistance to it rather than examples of ingenuity, creativity, and cultural contributions.

There were numerous opportunities for small-medium businesses to gain more advantages by incorporating more ICT into their operations. Studying the effects of ICT use on organizational financial performance is an important research topic that has not been well described. Apart from the fact that ICT is underutilized in developing countries and the majority of empirical research focuses on large corporations, the researcher discovered that, as a result of the above literature findings and points, there is still a significant research gap between developed and developing country perspectives on ICT adoption and usage. Therefore, this research plans to see the exiting literature review and research gap for the context of developing country. ICT is a new concept, and there has been very little research and study in this field, with no research carried out in Nepal. This review can be instrumental for those who what to conduct ICT-linked SME performance and profitability.

Published: December 2022

The energy problem experienced on a global scale is among the main problems in the field of architecture, as it is in every field. The fact that fossil-based energy, which is mostly consumed in buildings, will be depleted in the near future and is creating environmental problems necessitates the effective use of renewable energy. At this point, solar and wind energy come to the front as renewable energy sources that can be used more effectively in architectural designs. The use of solar and wind energy as a design data in buildings is effective in shaping the architectural form. In this context, within the scope of the study, it is aimed to analyze the renewable energy-architectural form relationship through design practices. By analyzing the effects of the use of renewable energy in buildings on configuration of architectural form and its in return for current design practices, it is aimed to be a source of information for the studies to be done on this subject in the future.
Bio-Informed Design Thinking Through Problem-Based Approach
Authors: Avinç Güneş Mutlu
Published: December 2022

Bio-informed design focuses on transferring biological knowledge to different disciplines through analysis, interpretation, and abstraction. This approach, which can also be used in education, is essential in terms of showing students the knowledge and potential of nature. In this way, students have the opportunity to examine the principles and strategies of nature for the design problem, they are informed, and they can transfer the knowledge they have acquired to an innovative design concept. In this context, this section includes problem-based studies carried out with students within the scope of a postgraduate course in the Gazi University Architecture Program in the 2020-2021 spring semester. Students' experiences of establishing a relationship between nature and architecture and transferring knowledge from nature to architecture were observed with the application. With the study, the importance of disseminating the bio-information-based design approach and directing individuals to nature for innovation and sustainability has been emphasized once again.

Published: December 2022

In the changing world with technology, differences and new expansions are seen in the education structure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate design education and the design process in terms of Web 2.0 software and social media application. In this context, studies on the structure of social media in education have been examined. As a methodology of the study, document analysis and descriptive research method, among the qualitative analysis methods, were used to reveal the subject's current state. As a result of the study, it was determined that social media contributes positively to education, as in every field, and changes the learning structure of students. In addition to the contributions such as the ease of access to information in design education, it has been observed that there may be negative consequences such as the loss of the original structure in design and deterioration in the professional culture.
The Hidden Ego-Centric Approach in Architectural Education
Authors: Yurtsever Bengi
Published: December 2022

Although there is a questioning cycle about the problems in architectural education, it is experienced that there is a blockage in the qualitative gains of learning. At this point that one encounters the fact that the problem is addressed from a more fundamental point. Within the scope of the study, two main problems, defined as resistance points, were the focus. With this radical reading to be made in the context of the theme, it is aimed to deal with the problem of the current conditions in the concepts of “being in the centre,” and to conduct research in the interface of architecture-psychology-pedagogy-education. It is aimed to interpret an architectural education environment that can be evaluated within the framework of radical pedagogy. At the end of the study, a base was created for how architectural education can form the initial view of a deschooling process that can be interpreted within the scope of radical pedagogy. An architectural manifesto has been proposed, which can be discussed on definition, pedagogy, environment, number equivalence, and education and learning.
Rethinking Design Through (Re)Investigating Participatory Design
Authors: Alkhalaf Mohammad Nasim Alhanoush
Published: December 2022

This study aims to investigate the discursive and dialectic relationship that combines the notion of participation, including its philosophical, political, social, and pragmatic dimensions, from one side, and the contemporary notion of architectural design, on the other side, in order to illustrate participatory design as a critical and comprehensive design methodology in contemporary architectural theory and practice. This study focuses on explaining the new architectural design manifestation, under the influence of participation in architecture, in four different complimentary perspectives of design politics, design theory, professional design practice, and pedagogical design practice.

Authors: Taylor Heather E. , Van Boxtel Joanne M. , Foster Elizabeth A. , Bueno Sydney A.
Published: December 2022

Preparing teachers to teach in inclusive, interdisciplinary settings is critical for teacher preparation programs if all students are to have access to general education curriculum. High-leverage practices have been proven to academically benefit students with disabilities. Using a continuous improvement cycle, the programs discussed in this chapter integrated evidence-based, high-leverage practices deliberately into special education and adapted physical education programs using an interdisciplinary approach. An audit at the program and course levels was completed and high-leverage practices and competencies were then integrated into teacher education courses where gaps were identified. Preservice teacher data was collected pre and post program to measure the effectiveness of the integration of these evidence-based practices into the programs.

Authors: Jamanis Shanna , Vogler-Elias Dawn
Published: December 2022

Autism is the fastest-growing category for public education across the United States, however there is a continued shortage of highly qualified professionals. Supporting children with autism requires specialized knowledge and skills in evidence-based practices. Although a majority of individuals on the autism spectrum are supported by professionals from multiple disciplines, focus on autism in pre-service preparation is often developed without an interdisciplinary focus and without viewing autism through multiple lenses. This chapter shares the development, framework, multi-year outcomes, lessons learned and future direction for an interdisciplinary professional preparation program in autism. The program's conceptual framework includes disability studies, neurodiversity, and intersections with diversity, equity, and inclusion. Participants are guided to examine differing perspectives, collaborate across disciplines, and consistently reflect upon their own practice to develop the skills of reflective practitioners and changemakers in autism.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with a rationale and blueprint for interdisciplinary programs like Project TLC, which prepare preservice special educators alongside school adjustment counselors. First, the authors discuss the rationale for Project TLC, including the current state of K-12 student mental health and social emotional learning, particularly in the context of public health and racial pandemics and issues pertaining to personnel shortages and attrition in both teaching and counseling. Then, the authors outline the blueprint of an interdisciplinary program including strategies for recruitment and retention of diverse students and a plan for shared coursework, fieldwork, and other learning opportunities that buoy graduate student development and preparation for serving students as collaborative colleagues. Throughout, the authors present the Project TLC blueprint with considerations for how this interdisciplinary training approach that utilizes faculty expertise and partnerships within local school communities can be translated into other communities.

Published: December 2022

Shortages in personnel qualified to address the academic, behavioral, and mental health needs of people with disabilities are well documented. The limited interdisciplinary training professionals in special education and related disciplines receive greatly exacerbates the challenges faced by exceptional populations, particularly in regions that have historically struggled to provide sufficient access to special education services. This chapter describes the Interdisciplinary Training Project in Special Education and School Psychology (SP2), a federally funded, interdisciplinary program that combines elements of the School Psychology, Special Education, and Applied Behavior Analysis programs at the University of Iowa. Specific sections describe the national and state-level context supporting the development of SP2, identify the components designed to promote interdisciplinary knowledge and competence, and delineate challenges associated with creating and maintaining interdisciplinary programs.
Lessons Learned
Authors: Jennings R. Lanai , Stroebel Sandra S.
Published: December 2022

This chapter outlines important lessons learned while implementing Marshall University's interdisciplinary personnel development program. Motivated by the intense needs of youth with disabilities in Appalachia and the shortage of qualified personnel to address these needs, the program employed evidence-based models to train school counselors, school psychologists, and special educators. Factors found to be essential include finding evidence-based interventions appropriate for all disciplines, early intense training, while acknowledging differences in entry skills and knowledge of interdisciplinary scholars, exposing scholars to a continuum of tiered school-based supports including working together across disciplines, modeling and attending to self-care of scholars, and acquiring partnerships for sustainability. These factors were important in successfully training the scholars to provide services to children with intensely complex social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Also included are suggestions for improving training based on the authors' reflections and feedback from scholars.

Published: December 2022

This chapter introduces Project Match Made in Schools (Project MMS). Project MMS is funded by a H325K grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. The project provides interdisciplinary training for special educators and social workers. Scholars in the special education program pursue initial teacher licensure in special education. Special education and social work scholars share six hours of coursework, are paired together for field experiences, and participate in interdisciplinary research apprenticeships. This chapter describes the components of Project MMS and highlights some challenges and successes the project personnel have experienced.
A Model for Interdisciplinary Preparation in Culturally-Responsive, Evidence-Based Transition Planning
Authors: Powers Kristin , Achola Edwin Obilo
Published: December 2022

Over the past seven years, we have provided intensive training to cohorts of school psychology and special education graduate students. Through rigorous shared coursework, in-person and virtual learning, coordinated school-based fieldwork, and enhanced study (conference attendance, seminar participation, case study completions) scholars gained the skills to establish and sustain culturally responsive, evidence-based transition services for students with disabilities, including those high-intensity needs. This chapter describes the steps the co-authors took to enhance the training and service delivery of school psychologists and special education teachers to provide effective transition services.
The Metaverse and the Dawn of a New Learning Civilization
Authors: Charles Denise Juanita
Published: December 2022

This chapter explores the opportunities and challenges that the metaverse could bring to education. It begins with an overview of the impact of the digital revolution on education and the imminent move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 technologies. It explores how the metaverse will influence innovative approaches to educational planning, pedagogy, teacher training, and student assessment. It interrogates the notion of quality access and the inherent changes that a built-out metaverse could bring to traditional educational delivery. These changes include a keener focus on students' psycho-social needs in a new, immersive, virtual environment. Higher-order digital competencies and the digital soul are advanced as important corollaries for the development of a sound digital identity that is required to meet the demands of life in the metaverse. It concludes with critical considerations for the development of policy to safeguard students and promote the maximization of learning in this new civilization.
