Attained through participant observations, focus groups with pupils and individual interviews with PE teachers, the school's changing rooms were found to encompass multiple spaces, which served dual intended and unintended functions and social consequences. Applying the concepts of figuration ( <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">Elias, 1978</jats:xref> ), [gendered] civilised bodies ( <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">Elias, 2012</jats:xref> ), habitus ( <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">Elias, 1978</jats:xref> ) and emotions ( <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">Elias, 2001</jats:xref> ) as theoretical prisms revealed how PE teacher-informed procedures and expectations were gendered. Furthermore, with age, boys’ and girls’ diverging changing room behaviours and emotional navigations became increasingly gendered. This article demonstrates how changing rooms not only serve practical functions, but also evoke social and emotional processes which impact peer-group dynamics and pupils’ experiences of PE. Given this, participatory action research could be undertaken aimed at creating more equitable, inclusive and effective localised changing room policies, procedures and practices. This study could also be expanded into investigating policies, practices and experiences within other similar spaces, such as toilets and swimming pools.","PeriodicalId":47681,"journal":{"name":"European Physical Education Review","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this approach may inadvertently facilitate literacy gatekeeping and limit opportunities for literacy learning that focuses on meaning making for students who do not demonstrate specific, conventional reading, writing, and communication skills. To explore conceptions of literacy beyond these traditional frameworks, in this interpretivist, qualitative study, we leveraged a multiliteracies framework and the concept of presumption of competence to interview 24 parents of elementary children with IDD to learn about their child’s literacy engagement, definitions of literacy, and family literacy practices. Our findings highlight how caregivers had traditional framings of literacy when describing their definition of literacy but went on to describe more expansive representations of literacy in their home literacy experiences. These activities went beyond traditional framings of literacy activities for learners with IDD and included: (a) communication and connection, (b) environmental access, (c) embracing music and the arts, and (d) culture and community. Implications for research and practice to improve literacy learning for students with IDD are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48164,"journal":{"name":"Exceptional Children","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, most studies have examined fiction books written in English, which raises the question of whether their results can be generalized to other languages, especially in the case of communication disorders such as dyslexia. This review also reveals the interest expressed by research in the quality of portrayals of disabilities in children’s fiction and the evolution of research on this topic since the 1990s, a decade characterized by the development and implementation of inclusive policies in most North American and European countries.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640741","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}

The objective of the present study was to explore the mediational effect of student engagement (SE) between the relationship of inclusive teaching practices (ITP) and student academic performance (AP) in ECE with the intent to find the moderating effect of play support (PS) and the class environment (CE) for the relationship between ITP and AP. The research design of the current quantitative study was a cross-sectional survey. The participants were 300 ECE teachers who work in public schools of the Kasur and Lahore districts in Punjab, Pakistan. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire. Simple linear regression and Process macro were used to test four hypotheses. After analysis, it was revealed that ITP contributes significantly (<i>β</i> = 0.396, <i>t</i>(298) = 7.44, <i>p</i> < 0.001) to the AP of students in ECE. SE partially mediates (<i>B</i> = 0.231, SE = 0.043, <i>p</i> = 0.000) the relationship between ITP and AP. PS [<i>F</i>(3, 296) = 48.239, <i>p</i> < 0.001] has a statistically significant effect, and CE [<i>F</i>(3, 296) = 50.663, <i>p</i> < 0.001] has a marginally significant moderating effect on the relationship between ITP and AP.
