This study adopted a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. The sample size was 162 students from eight universities. The sample was categorized into two groups: Group I (n=79) and Group II (n=83). Electric VLab, provided the environment. A researcher-made achievement test, comprising multiple-choice, essay and practical questions was used for assessment and data collection. Two weeks before the treatment, students in both groups were given a pre-test in electronics circuit construction and assembly. Before the treatment, one week was used to train the groups on how to use the Electric VLab. During the treatment, each intact class in Group I was taught using the direct instruction method, and the other classes in Group II were divided into units of five students with a selected peer tutor leading each unit while the teacher coordinated the learning. At the end of treatment, the post-test was administered to both groups. Mean statistics, standard deviation, and analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. There was no significant difference between the achievement of male students in both groups. Female students in indirect instruction classes achieved significantly higher than their counterparts in direct instruction classes. There were significant effects of interaction between teaching methods and gender.

This article compares contemporary political rhetoric from and around Donald Trump with early modern discourse on witchcraft. Trump frequently and explicitly positions himself as the victim of political “witch hunts.” I will argue that he also deploys rhetoric that parallels early modern arguments connecting the persecution of witches with the exercise of sovereign authority, implicitly putting him in the position of the witch hunter. The article focuses on two Renaissance texts, Jean Bodin’sOn the Demon-Mania of Witches (1580) and King James VI and I’s Daemonologie (1597), highlighting the ways in which both the contemporary and early modern discourses appeal to disruptive conspiracies, the threat of political and epistemic chaos, and the targeting of legitimate political authority. The language and logic of witchcraft, past and present, provides Trump and Trumpians with a powerful rhetorical resource.

This article examines Indigenous queerness by moving beyond the literal definition of “two-spirit” to explore the diversity and commonalities of Indigenous queer identities. Through detailed analysis of three distinct examples—the Diné/Navajo Nádleehi, the Shoshone Tainna wa'ippe, and the Inuit Sipiniq—this article demonstrates the vast differences in Indigenous gender systems while identifying four unifying characteristics: spirituality, fluid notions of gender/sexuality, connections to tradition, and a state of “in-betweenness.” This article concludes by examining contemporary indigiqueer realities, highlighting ongoing challenges such as historical disconnection, community homophobia, racism in queer spaces, and lack of intersectional approaches, while acknowledging positive social changes and increasing representation in mainstream media.

Newark, New Jersey has been at the forefront of school reform from the civil rights era through more recent efforts to resist neoliberal school reform approaches during the 2010s. Drawing on interviews with activists, policymakers, and school reformers, this paper documents the history of community organizing as a strategy to improve conditions in Newark’s schools. The paper concludes that community organizing in Newark has (1) increased representation for people of color in positions of institutional authority, and (2) achieved intermediate reforms that improved conditions in schools. However, community organizers in Newark have often come up against a power structure that resists broader challenges to class inequality and policymakers that prefer market-based approaches to school reform.

Learners’ emotional engagement in synchronous online learning (SOL) is critical for improving learning persistence and performance. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and systematic reviews of emotional engagement in SOL. This review synthesizes the strategies to promote emotional engagement in SOL found in published empirical studies. A total of 32 articles were systematically analyzed by following the grounded theory approach. The primary themes were grouped into four categories: (a) instructor actions (e.g., interacting informally before and after class, encouraging the expression of ideas), (b) learner behaviors (e.g., building rapport with peers, recognizing individual accountability), (c) environment characteristics (e.g., creating a supportive atmosphere, selecting communication modes), and (d) activity design (e.g., using breakout rooms, embedding diverse elements). These findings offer comprehensive understanding and guidance for promoting emotional engagement in SOL for instructors, researchers, and course developers.

This article presents the results of exploratory research on social and solidarity economy ecosystems. In the discussion section, it introduces a reflective analysis addressing four questions inspired by the advances and learnings emerging from the consulted documents. Finally, it lays the groundwork for a research agenda on the concept of ecosystem in resonance with the transformations currently observed both at the geopolitical level and in terms of the current situation.
