According to the National Science Foundation, &quot;the U.S. STEM workforce must be considered in the context of an expanding and vibrant global scientific and technological enterprise&quot; (2014). &quot;The National Academy of Sciences further suggests that, without the participation of individuals of all races and genders, the increasing demand for workers in STEM fields will not be met, potentially compromising the position of the United States as a global leader&quot; (2014). The stark reality is that there are a disproportionate number of Black and Latinx students who lack the access and exposure to become STEM-literate. In order for the U.S. to remain a global STEM leader, an intricate look at STEM inequity on a national scale must occur and diversifying the STEM education to career pathway must be a priority. The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy sought to gain a better understanding of how to diversify this STEM education to career pathway. Thus, a study was conducted on the motivation of Black and Latinx students to engage in STEM as well as two Diversifying STEM Think Tanks held, to understand and address the racial STEM divide. From the perspectives of 415 STEM Stakeholders (students, parents, professionals, and educators) the D-STEM Equity Model to diversify the STEM Education to Career Pathway with national implications and global scalability was developed. This model suggests &quot;diversifying STEM policies&quot; need to be developed that mandate funding for racially-based collaborative STEM initiatives to be implemented, that work towards achieving equity by addressing the identified problems collectively and integrating factors of Black and Latinx student STEM motivation into STEM programming as well as encourage culturally responsive STEM educator training.

In 2010, Accardi, Drabinski, and Kumbier published the edited collection &quot;Critical Library Instruction: Theories and Methods,&quot; which marked a turn to more broadly integrate critical theory into the practice and literature of librarianship. This article looks back ten years to trace how critical pedagogy continues to provoke librarians' reflective measurement of the coherence between theory and practice, whether in the classroom or in advocacy for open education. With Paulo Freire's notion of unfinishedness and Maxine Greene's metaphor of 'teacher as stranger,' the article explores the nature of teaching as a continuously reflective and creative act.

In the Response to Intervention framework, a psychometrically sound screening tool is essential for identification of children with emotional and behavioral risk. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 (PSC-17) screener in school-based settings. Forty-four teachers rated 738 preschoolers using the PSC-17; children were later assessed using long forms of the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC-2) Preschool form or the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) Caregiver--Teacher Report Form to identify emotional and behavioral disorder. Validity evidence including examinations of a multilevel factor structure, internal consistency, and criterion-related validity supported the conclusion that the PSC-17 is a high-quality universal screening tool in school-based settings. Finally, to identify emotional and behavioral risk with young children, receiver operating characteristic curve analyses with the PSC-17 yielded a lower cutoff score (i.e., 7) than the original cutoff score (i.e., 15) based on a clinical sample.

The opportunity to expand pedagogy is an especially good thing for library educators, particularly when library professionals do not have formal training as teachers and instructors. We have a responsibility to ourselves and our students to grow intellectually and share growth and new knowledge with others. We should be promoting and practicing critical self-reflection and thinking critically about and even critiquing the information we consume and the sources from which it originates. This is an ongoing and iterative process that requires that we consistently read and remain abreast of new and interdisciplinary ideas that can challenge and inform our practice. This perspective essay details my personal journey of critical self-reflection, or &quot;conocimiento,&quot; that facilitated the strengthening and deepening of my critical library instruction and pedagogy.
Dreaming Revolutionary Futures: Critical Race&apos;s Centrality to Ending White Supremacy

&quot;Critical Library Instruction: Theories and Methods&quot; dangerously lacked a centering, and critique, of white supremacy, as a structure of domination; we see the continuation of that active avoidance, or a progress approach through liberal or multicultural frameworks that do not precisely identify roots of racialized oppression, in critical librarianship currently. In this essay, we reject progress narratives depicting the profession as having arrived, or even moved further, to a critical space, paying particular close attention to the absence of white supremacy, not only in the text &quot;Critical Library Instruction: Theories and Methods&quot; but in critical library instruction. We then explore our teaching and learning experiences against, and through, white supremacy--while interrogating, and responding to critical library instruction--by drawing on critical race theory, emergent strategy, and cultural and race-centered pedagogies that offer humanizing and sustaining ways of understanding and being. Finally, we close by moving towards an urgent confrontation with white supremacy, carrying radical hope and imagining liberatory futures for ourselves, communities, libraries, and world.

The working environment of future university graduates is characterized by highly dynamic and complex product development processes. In addition to disciplinary competence, it is essential to build up methodical and social competence as well as to foster the elaboration and creativity potential of students. In order to meet industrial requirements the Karlsruhe Education Model for Product Development (KaLeP) was implemented. One element of this holistic education model is a design methods internship called ProVIL - Product Development in a Virtual Idea Laboratory. The above mentioned integrated understanding of product development and the competences derived from it are successfully taught in the case-based action learning environment ProVIL. Additionally, the very important aspect of multidisciplinary product development in site-distributed teams is taken into account and generates an added value to the progression of the KaLeP. In this work the authors present the dimensions of competence which should be aimed for a holistic teaching approach for the interdisciplinary student courses in ProVIL. An example illustrates how a continuous alignment and the necessary adaption of competences of student project teams can be achieved within ProVIL.

In the Italian education system, secondary students (ages 14-19) are confronted with the foundations of quantum physics during the final term of scientific high school (pre-university year). The Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (acronym MIUR) has remarked its importance in the syllabus to address the high school exit examination (30% of the 5th year physics course) but, due to limited learning time and intrinsic difficulty, this branch of physics is neither assimilated nor appreciated as it should. We wish to illustrate six didactic suggestions focused on learning motivation, emerged during a 17-year long teaching experience, which could help to tackle the main problems found. The key references are two peer-reviewed talks given, respectively, in 2018 at the 6th Annual International Conference on Physics by the Athens Institute for Education and Research and in 2013 at the 2nd Rome workshop &quot;Science Perception&quot; by the Roma Tre University together with a concise and evocative poster outlining the history of quanta (Figure 1). Other useful resources are a 2015 conceptual diagram (Figure 2) and four invited lectures held in the years 2010-2017.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of 5 days (25 hours) of ski training on balance performance for individuals who have never had ski training before. A total of 84 volunteers participated in the study, 42 of them men and 42 of them women without any health problems. After the pre-test balance measurements of the control and experimental group, ski training was given to the experimental group for 5 days in Erciyes Ski Center. One day after ski training was completed, the post-test measurements of the control and experimental groups were made and the results were noted. Biodex Balance System was used for balance measurement in the study. According to the results obtained, static APSI values of the experimental group after ski training were better than before and this difference was significant (p &lt; 0.05), dynamic OSI, APSI and MLSI values were better than before and these differences were significant (p &lt; 0.01, p &lt; 0.01, p &lt; 0.05, respectively). These results show that skiing activity can be recommended especially for the development of dynamic balance performance. On the other hand, it seems that ski training contributes more to the static balance performance in the direction of A-P.

This study aims to examine the social entrepreneurship levels of pre-service teachers studying in physical education and sports college. The universe of the research consists of pre-service teacher students who study in Sports Management, Coaching and Physical Education Teaching departments at Siirt University School of Physical Education and Sports. The sample consists of students who voluntarily participated in the study through the random sample selection method from the universe. As the data collection tool, the demographic information form created by the researchers to determine the demographic characteristics of the participants and the Social Entrepreneurship Characteristics of Candidate Teachers developed by Konakli and Gögüs (2013) was used to determine the social entrepreneurship levels of the participants. In the study, Mann Whitney U was used to compare quantitative continuous data between two independent groups, and the Kruskal Wallis-H test was used to compare quantitative continuous data between more than two independent groups. In the sub-dimension of self-confidence, which is the social entrepreneurship sub-dimension, significant differences were observed in the region where the participants were raised and the formation variables. There was also a significant difference in the gender variable in the risk-taking subdimension. However, there was no significant difference in the variables of age, sports and the departments in which the participants studied.

This piece situates the project of critique in relation to the idea of library instruction as labor and the library as an organization. If the laborer can come to reflect on the conditions of their labor, thereby achieving a measure of autonomy even at the grindstone, it's also possible that the critical subject can be induced or coerced to labor on behalf of the organization. In the attenuation of organized forms of solidarity at the workplace, the organizations that employ us demand more and more of their workers' time, energy, and commitment. In this piece, I surface these tensions in the interest of a different kind of instruction: studying to learn from fugitive forms of solidarity that, as Fred Moten and Stefano Harney suggest, endure because of their refusal to be organized, keeping the commons alive around and beyond the frame in which the subject studies their own reflection.

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of lower and upper extremity strength on shot styles in tennis. 54 males and 19 females training regularly as experimental group and 24 male and 9 female volunteers as control group participated in the study. 24 training sessions were applied to the experimental group participants. Every week in a unit training, accurate and effective shot, practically forehand and backhand, was applied to the subject suitable for the technique and style by shooting 50 balls from the ball machine. The service was performed for each subject from the service point on the baseline line of the court in 20 units in one unit training. Maximum number of heart 30 to 50% of the beats were allocated for 10 min of general warming, and 70 to 80% of the maximum number of heart beats were allocated for quick strength; moreover, practices towards upper and lower extremity were applied beforehand and finger strength trainings. Voluntary participants in the control group were not subjected to any training program. Paired t-test was used for intra-group comparisons in the analysis. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare pre-test and post-test changes in groups with gender effect. Mean and standard deviation were used as descriptive statistics. Significance was determined as p [less than or equal to] 0.05. In conclusions, effective service training should be supported with a good ball thrower and effective material. Therefore, this study is important in terms of evaluating the effect of the tennis ball thrower on the performance of the athletes to correct the shoot techniques and improve their performance.
