Drawing from ethnographic observations and continuous audio recordings, this article examines how very young children make sense in museum spaces. We activate Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the refrain (originally expressed in French as ritournelle, a little return) to analyse vignettes of children’s vocalisations and interactions across galleries, gardens, and play spaces. Counter to the dominant view of early language as relying on a linear “serve and return” between adult and child, we argue that refrains create fragile, rhythmic, and emplaced territories of sense making that exceed conventional meaning and representation. We propose that museums can foster an attention to these affective, embodied dimensions of expression as an important aspect of young children’s museum literacies.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"314 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings revealed three major themes emerging from the interaction of teachers' career motivational profiles and their emotional vulnerability experiences including (1) career pessimism as a source of emotional vulnerability, (2) emotion dysregulation and low emotional resilience as sources of emotional vulnerability, and (3) emotional exhaustion as a source of emotional vulnerability. The findings highlight teacher motivation as a central criterion in teacher hiring decisions and their sustained professional engagement.

This study challenges that assumption by examining how teachers' social-emotional and instructional (SEI) characteristics vary with teaching experience, age, and gender. Drawing on cross-sectional data from over 43 000 Brazilian public school teachers, we analyzed 19 fine-grained SEI characteristics, and found that only about half of these characteristics were positively associated with teaching experience (e.g., presenting and communicating), while others (e.g., stress resilience) declined with increasing years of experience. Age showed unique positive effects on characteristics like managing student engagement. Gender differences also emerged, with women reporting higher levels of interpersonal qualities such as connecting and caring and empathic awareness. The present findings highlight meaningful differences in teachers’ SEI characteristics relative to their actual years of experience in the classroom. These results challenge the assumption of overall linear professional growth across the entire spectrum of SEI characteristics, revealing both meaningful increases as well as decreases in teaching characteristics. This underscores the importance of differentiated professional development strategies that correspond with the diverse needs of teachers relative to their career stage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48430,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Teacher Education","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 105203"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moving beyond print-centric definitions of literacy, it positions museums as multimodal environments where young learners engage with language, sound, image, and movement to make meaning. Drawing on a personal vignette of visiting the Royal Ontario Museum with my children, I illustrate how these encounters become acts of literacy, cultural affirmation, and identity negotiation. For children navigating multiple languages and cultures, museums offer spaces of imaginative play and embodied learning that resist deficit narratives and assimilationist expectations. Through a social justice lens, this paper frames museums as pedagogical counterspaces that center the cultural and linguistic assets of marginalized communities. It highlights the power of everyday museum interactions to support intergenerational connection, affirm cultural identities, and foster agency. By recognizing racialized immigrant children as active meaning-makers and co-creators of knowledge, museums can evolve into relational spaces that reflect and respond to the diverse communities they serve. This work calls for a reimagining of early childhood literacy education, one that honors the lived experiences, cultural wealth, and epistemologies of racialized immigrant families.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Augmented reality (AR) offers a promising tool to improve comprehension of complex mechanisms. This study examines the students` perceptions and the effectiveness of an AR-based learning sequence on pre- and post-student drawings of renal physiology. Three cohorts in their first year of undergraduate biomedical education (experimental groups) were enrolled and compared to 3 cohorts (controls) that performed a regular teacher-centered activity, following parallel content at the same time. The experimental groups performed an activity using the smartphone/tablet application that included a teacher and student guide. We used a pre- and post-activity assessments, that involved asking the students to draw an integrative diagram that represents the main functions of the kidney from a macroscopic and microscopic point of view. Drawings were analyzed with Kozma and Russell's levels of representation to evaluate learning progressions. In experimental groups, most of the students maintained their level of representation by comparing the pre- and post-activity assessment (54%). However, 42% of the participants advanced towards higher levels of complexity. Scores on the final physiology test showed a significant increase in the experimental groups versus controls. Regarding perception, 95% of the students believed that AR technology enhanced their understanding of kidney physiology, and 73% reported a better comprehension of glomerular filtration. Furthermore, 90% of the students recommended AR as a valuable complement to traditional teaching.
