I am seeking to update research on The School PERFORMANCE benefits of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. I am establishing "bedrock" best practices, evidence based research that proves Social Emotional Learning (SEL) improves test performance. It's been my experience that, citing better Quality Of (student) Life, as an outcome of MBSR does not convince "test-obsessed" decision makers to even try MBSR. But if you mention a 10% increase in test scores for system that practice MBSR it is "attention getting." Anyone out there who has empirical proof that SEL can lead to better grades etc. I thank you in advance.

Teaching English with technology: Exploring teacher learning and practice (Hu...Joan E. Hughes, Ph.D.
Ā
In 1998-2000, I developed the RAT (p. 30+) and TPCK / TPACK (see page 137+; p. 178 for figure) in this dissertation at Michigan State University as a doctoral student.
Abstract: The purpose of this study, conducted during the 1998-1999 school year, was to examine the nature of teachersā technology-supported English practice and understand teachersā learning to teach with technology. Four middle-school English teachers, who used technology in support of teaching English content, agreed to participate in this study. The data included a combination of classroom observations and life-history teacher interviews. Observations focused on the teachersā use of technology in relation to instruction and student learning experiences. The series of interviews explored the teachersā life histories, including history of educational preparation, career(s), teaching positions, technology experiences, technology learning, and technology use.
The dissertation study was written in the format of three journal articles. In the first article, a technology use taxonomy was developed to analyze teachersā technology use in content areas: technology as replacement, technology as amplification, and technology as transformation. Across time, participants used technology across all three categories, not in a sequential order. This finding challenges the notion that sophistication of technology use is linked to technology experience. This finding may be explained by the expansion of practical uses for technology, the teachersā reform-oriented beliefs, and the possibility that these teachers learned from othersā āexpert knowledge.ā Varieties of technology transformation that may have been obscured in the data analysis are discussed.
Analysis in the second article explored how teachers learned to use the technology they reported knowing. Using technology to support subject matter instruction occurred more often when a teacherās initial learning experience involved either (a) learning technology in the context of learning more English language arts content or (b) learning technology with an awareness of a connection between the technology and the English language arts. From analysis of trends in four teachersā technology-learning, I developed a general model that illustrated the technology-learning process and described how teachers take multiple pathways through this learning model.
In the third article I analyzed and compared why and how teachers learned and used technology. The teachersā reasons for learning technology were closely associated with the reasons they used technology in their teaching practice. Further, the manner in which the teachers learned impacted the design of learning opportunities for their students. I conjecture about the kinds of knowledge (TPCK, TPACK) that teachers develop through the process of learning to teach with technology.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
Ā
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Ā
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as āpredictable inferenceā.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
