Wearing a face mask is effective in minimizing the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among unvaccinated individuals and preventing severe illness among the vaccinated. Country, state and local guidelines promote, and at times mandate, mask-wearing despite it being publicly perceived as an individual's choice. Guided by the Health…

Mullen, Carol A. – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2022
This essay reflects the spirit of our times, at least in North America. Reentering a generative world in lockdown is juxtaposed with the gains and losses in our communities. "For All Eternity," my poem, is about the generative cycle of rebirth and death and the forces that move us from decay to regeneration. As the coronavirus pandemic…

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in the United States in early 2020, individuals have been motivated to protect themselves against the risk of the virus by the wearing of masks, social-distancing, and receiving vaccinations. This study utilizes Rogers' (1975) Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to test motivations of collegiate student-athletes to…

Goodson, Ivor F.; Schostak, John F. – Prospects, 2021
The coronavirus crisis has appeared like some vast, cruel sociological experiment. It has confined people to their homes, radically disturbed their taken-for-granted knowledge and beliefs, and forced them to alter behaviors once casually, even unthinkingly, employed in their everyday personal, working, and social lives. What has been learned? How…

Oommen, Ansel – Art Education, 2021
Ansel Oommen, a medical technologist in New York, at the beginning of the pandemic, was sometimes working alone processing hundreds of samples from all five boroughs, Westchester, and the lower Hudson Valley. After 20 nights of physical and psychological fatigue, he just knew that he had to process his circumstances through art. This would not be…

Nelson, M. I. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In the past, my mathematics students have frequently complained at any suggestion that they should communicate ideas through the medium of a written report. This article discusses student responses when they were asked to write a short report for the mayor of a (hypothetical) small town in response to the mayor's plan to eliminate a contagious…

Objectives: To determine whether actual community-level risk for COVID-19 in the Black community influenced "individual" perceptions of community-level and personal risk and how self-assessment of personal risk was reflected in the adoption of COVID-19 precautionary behaviors. Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20…

Munoz-Rubke, Felipe; Almuna, Felipe; Duemler, Jaclyn; Velásquez, Eloísa – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed that many countries have failed to provide the general population with the cognitive tools to thoroughly understand and cope with a global health crisis. While scientists and leaders worldwide have struggled to discover ways to contain the spread of the virus, this difficult task has become overwhelming due to the…

Alison Hooper; JoonHo Lee; Claire Schweiker – AERA Open, 2023
Family child care (FCC) is uniquely positioned to address challenges with insufficient early care and education supply and access in the United States. FCC programs were steadily declining before COVID-19, and many child care programs, both center- and home-based, were at risk of closure early in the pandemic. This study examines closure among…

This study examines attenuated risk responses among individuals who do not adhere to preventive COVID-19 measures (e.g., antimaskers). Guided by the Social Amplification of Risk Model, a survey (N = 373) of nonabiding populations showed that news media use was positively associated with risk perceptions, information seeking and sharing, and…
