Geoffrey Borman; Trisha Borman; Cong Ye; Lauren Stargel – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background: To combat stereotype threat, several school-based field trials have leveraged self-affirmation theory (Steele & Liu, 1983; Liu & Steele, 1986), wherein affirming one's important beliefs and values can buffer against identity threats.

Amanda Simpfenderfer; Peter Knox; Bernice Garnett; Lance Smith; Colby Kervick; Mika Moore; Karyn Vogel – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background/Context: Recently there has been increased emphasis on disaggregating students' experiences collected through surveys based on student identities (Arredondo, 2016).

Goodey, C. F. – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Background: Here, I examine the status of 'learning disability' as a basic concept. This kind of questioning may be thought a task for philosophy, or at least for 'theory' or 'disability studies'. Materials and methods: I identify history instead as a discipline well placed to reveal the category errors that surround the concept. Results: These…

Sok, Bonika; Bonnett, Tina – Journal of Teaching and Learning, 2022
A person's name(s) is typically tied to their family, culture, and sense of identity. Consequently, when a child's name is inaccurately pronounced, altered, or avoided, a host of adverse consequences may transpire. Although seemingly innocuous, this necessitates attention, as name mispronunciation and change perpetuate microaggressions ubiquitous…

This study addresses this gap by conducting in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 15 Chinese university…

Quicke, John – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2019
Boys' underperformance relative to girls has been a major cause for concern in recent years. Some have seen the problem as linked to a dysfunctional anti-school masculine identity. The article explores this idea via a close reading of a popular text where the focus is on boys' behaviour and achievement in the context of a strategy for rethinking…

Costa, Cristina; Taylor, Yvette; Goodfellow, Claire; Ecochard, Sidonie – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020
While investigation on family estrangement is growing within academic circles, research regarding the interconnection between experiences of estrangement and higher education (HE) is still limited. Sociological understandings of these issues are even scarcer, with policy interventions and practical guidance forming early interventions in HE. Set…

Seeger, Victoria; McNemar, Stephanie – Support for Learning, 2020

When these labeled students were viewed through a strengths lens rather than a deficits one, competent literacy skills…
