Tips offered center on classroom discourse, curriculum choices, and potential assignments. In this article, we present tips for creating a thriving undergraduate and graduate communication research lab. Based on our experiences developing and co-directing the Communication and Social Robotics Labs (CSRLs), we offer 10 best practices for acquiring resources and recognition, building a strong lab community, and attaining faculty and student goals for scholarship and beyond. Our overarching approach is framed by Dewey's (1916) pragmatist educational metaphysic, which stresses student- and subject-centered learning, enlarging experiences, and the co-construction of meaning and knowledge. Although our labs are focused on human-machine communication (HMC), the strategies we present can be applied to any number of research contexts for both undergraduate and graduate education.

PENTA UC Escolar is an extracurricular, intra-school enrichment educational program designed for children from first to fourth grade. It consists of a System for identification and selection, Curriculums in language and mathematics, and a Model for program management. Theoretically, it is based on Sternberg´s Triarchic theory of intelligence and states that the outstanding intellectual performance results from the joint use of three types of abilities -- analytical, practical and creative. Correspondingly, three instruments are applied to measure the abilities in question and to identify students with academic talent. The sample in the present study consists of 5041 children, 519 of which were identified as gifted. Results demonstrated that among talented children, there is generally a negative relationship between creative, analytical and practical abilities. Girls demonstrated higher practical abilities among students in all age groups who were not identified as talented. Boys performed better than girls in tasks for analytical abilities, in the group of talented children, only among older ones.

This interview study analyzes 22 communication scholars' experiences of teaching about feminism. Beyond questioning understandings of feminism in the communication classroom, a theory of privileged vulnerability emerged regarding the privilege of teaching about feminism and the vulnerability we--as self-identified feminist educators--embody via this privilege. Implications include recognizing our privileges and vulnerabilities, as well as how they relate to student interactions, to enact a reflexive, embodied pedagogical praxis.

Cybersafety has been a mainstay of digital education since computers arrived in classrooms in the mid 1990s. Whether schools encourage students to be &quot;cybersmart&quot; (Australia), &quot;netsafe&quot; (New Zealand) or to be aware of &quot;cybersecurity strategies&quot; (Mexico and Chile) most now devote a relatively large amount of time and money to teaching young people how to &quot;stay safe&quot; online. In this article, we argue that it is time for schools to move beyond the cybersafety discourse to encourage students to think more critically about the digital media they use. Reporting on the digital practices of 276 pre-teens aged 7-12 years in Australia and Uruguay, we contend that the everyday digital challenges young people face are now beyond the scope of most cybersafety programs. Our findings highlight that many of the issues preteens are negotiating call for more nuanced and sustained educational programs that support the development of &quot;critical&quot; social media literacies. In particular, with the proliferation of mass user platforms and artificial intelligence, there is a need for schools to educate students around managing and protecting their personal data. The article concludes with a discussion of the digital learning required for young people in an increasingly datafied society.

Medical education is a complex process for training physicians. Although being a medical student is highly prestigious and seems advantageous in many respects, the students have a variety of perceptions towards medical education and their future profession. This study explores medical students' perceptions about being a student in the faculty of medicine in Turkey. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used. Semi-structured interview method was conducted with thirty medical students to collect data. The audio recordings were analyzed using the phenomenological coding technique in which transcriptions were taken into an open coding process. The students' perceptions revealed some commonalities about how they define themselves and their concerns about their future profession. Findings revealed that although they are mostly satisfied with the status of their future profession, they have several concerns and regrets. Students who aim to study at a medical school in the future need to be aware of the fact that medical education is not an easy training process as it requires developing certain professional competencies, values and attitudes, and the well-being of medical students should also be considered by the educators at medical schools.

This paper aims to show how drama therapy workshops, the Lublin &quot;teatroterapia,&quot; can be used as a method of rehabilitation for the mentally handicapped. It serves the crucial purpose of social participation, giving people who are often rejected and misunderstood by society an opportunity to be involved in creative activities. The idea nurtured by these workshops is reflected in the so called &quot;theatre manifesto&quot; of mentally handicapped individuals, which underlines equal rights for people with intellectual disabilities regarding their creativity and participation both in culture and art. Theatre therapy also facilitates their social and emotional development. The participants are intellectually disabled persons over 15 years old, who agree to be engaged. Lublin's &quot;teatroterapia&quot; workshops collaborate with many public institutions such as health centers, schools, day care facilities, cultural centers, local authorities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). We include excerpts from the disabled actors' personal narratives. Through success in theatre therapy, learned helplessness can be prevented.

The present investigation targets the empirical validation of the correlation surface between psychopathology and ego-strength suggested by Eysenck. The sample comprised 37 middle aged adults from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Established hypotheses could not be verified and results even significantly tended in the opposite direction. The findings are discussed in the light of an eventual revision of the theoretical conception of Eysenck and its potential adaptation to the measured constructs.

It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference with the sub-dimensions of the attitude scores towards folk dances according to the variables of gender, class, and branch of the undergraduate students studying at the Department of Recreation Education at Firat University Faculty of Sport Sciences. According to the age variable, when the participants' attitude towards folk dance sub-dimension levels and the age variable was examined, it was found that the difference between students aged 20 and under and students aged 21-30 in the affective sub-dimension was statistically significant. According to the findings of our study, it was determined that the attitude scores of the students of the Recreation Education department towards folk dances were 3.17 in the Cognitive sub-dimension and 2.87 in the Affective sub-dimension, and their attitude scores towards folk dances were above the average.
An Innovative Resilient Strategy towards Creatively Teaching Mathematics

Although teaching mathematics is complicated due to a wide range of crises stemming from its complex nature, the beliefs about mathematical ability and skills, the use of ICT tools in problem solving and socio-economic disruptions, current approaches focus on how to use problem solving activities such as experimenting, questioning and working collaboratively in order to build methods to increase students' facility in comprehending and learning mathematics. In this paper, we conjecture that significant improvements in teaching mathematics can be obtained by addressing the challenge of proposing a resilient strategy that involves activities based on the concepts of proximity. Since mathematical notions must be semantically close to each other, regulation, for mathematical rules and principles should be presented clearly and explicitly, and, governance of the teaching procedure is also important, meaning that the teacher ought to control the information flow presented in class, independently from the subject being taught and the context (i.e., heterogeneous groups of learners). From the students' point of view, resilience can be defined as their ability to respond to learning crises, for instance, overcome low self-esteem, be self-organized and build self-efficacy, whereas, as far as the teacher is concerned, resilience can be defined as his/her capacity to be transformed in different contexts, like interactive material, alternative teaching methods and multi-faceted skills in crisis management.

This article explores the patterns of variation in the responses of talented, low-income students engaged in a program of undergraduate study. For this article, we focused on a subset of data from an earlier study of talented undergraduate students. Our aim was to add to the literature exploring the resilience of people from impoverished backgrounds that complete an undergraduate qualification, despite challenging circumstances. The data were collected from individual interviews with 10 participants, who also completed a demographic survey. Participants had not previously been identified as talented, nor, despite their consistently high achievement, did they consider themselves to be gifted or talented. Phenomenographic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed an outcome space that explained not only what the students had experienced, but also how they had experienced it. Implications for the retention and success of such students are discussed. Although this is a New Zealand study of talented, low-income, undergraduates, our findings may have application elsewhere.
