This process of changing practices, by continually questioning the school’s responsibility for the (re)production of inequalities, exclusion, and unequal social relations, is riddled with obstacles, unpredictable situations, and strong emotions. In particular, the researchers point out that many systemic mechanisms of school culture contribute to replicating and reifying hierarchical school experiences and exacerbating processes of institutional discrimination against immigrant backgrounds and/or racialized students. The empirical research presented also highlights the deficit thinking of school staff toward immigrant students and their parents. The results show that staff tend to use linguistic and cultural gaps between students and the school system to explain academic failure. Be that as it may, the researchers as well as the school actors and students interviewed in this issue suggest fertile ways to improve inclusion in the school context, stressing the importance of giving voice to the various actors to move toward institutional transformation.</p> Marie-Odile Magnan Justine Gosselin-Gagné Geneviève Audet Xavier Conus Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) 2024-03-29 2024-03-29 6 3 5 17 10.26689/erd.v6i3.6497 Relations between School and Immigrant Families in Albertan Francophone School: Perspectives of Settlement Workers in Schools – A Secondary Publication http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/erd/article/view/6498 <p>In recent years, Francophone schools in Alberta, a province in western Canada, have seen significant ethnocultural diversification of their school population, thus reflecting recent migratory changes in Canada. The school population of a Francophone school board located in an agglomeration of Alberta reflects these new migratory trends. A partial ethno-demographic portrait carried out in 2003 in six of its schools indicates that 50% of the pupils come from an immigrant background and come from 23 different countries; mostly from sub-Saharan African countries. This demographic reality, confirmed more than a decade later, represents a major structural change for Francophone schools. In Alberta, as in other Canadian provinces, inclusion is at the heart of discourse and educational practices. With a transformative aim, it intends to promote ethnocultural diversity in the classroom and equal opportunities through school equity practices. This article focuses on the Settlement workers in schools responsible for bridging family, community, and school cultures. The analysis of the interviews of the four workers sheds light on and questions both the institutional practices and the personal strategies put in place to face the challenges encountered in this tripartite collaboration.</p> Marianne Jacquet Gwenaëlle André Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) 2024-03-29 2024-03-29 6 3 18 29 10.26689/erd.v6i3.6498 Research on Corpus Linguistics and English Language Teaching http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/erd/article/view/6589 <p>Corpus linguistics is a discipline that has emerged in recent years as a product of the continuous development of the information age.

Research has shown that the subjects do not exhibit a significant attachment bias when processing ambiguous sentences related to English and Thai relative clauses with the NP1 of NP2-RC structure, but exhibited significant proximity bias when processing ambiguous sentences with the NP1 of NP2-RC structure.</p> Jie Wang Chengjun Jiang Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) 2024-03-29 2024-03-29 6 3 300 305 10.26689/erd.v6i3.6646 The Path of Transforming Excellent Retired Athletes into Physical Education Teachers http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/erd/article/view/6652 <p>With the vigorous development of sports in our country, many excellent athletes have been trained over the years, achieving brilliant feats on the field. However, after retirement, they face new challenges—transformation and development. In the new era of the integration of sports and education, the “retired athletes re-employment problem” and “solving the problem of the shortage of primary and secondary school sports teachers” are organically linked. This linkage aims to realize the complementarity of social supply and demand, which the entire Chinese sports industry is actively exploring and addressing. The integration of retired athletes into the education system will not only help improve the quality of physical education and broaden employment channels but, more importantly, address the shortage of physical education teachers in schools. Sports teachers transitioning from athlete roles possess unique advantages. However, due to the shift in professional roles and distinct occupational requirements, they need a bridge and path for successful transformation.</p> Danyao Ding Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) 2024-03-29 2024-03-29 6 3 306 313 10.26689/erd.v6i3.6652 An Analysis of Education Implementation for the Improvement of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) of Pre-service Science Teachers: Focusing on the Integration of Sustainable Happiness and Complexity Theory – A Secondary Publication http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/erd/article/view/6679 <p>In this study, class demonstrations conducted integrating science education and ‘Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)’ by preservice science teachers were analyzed, focusing on the concept of ‘sustainable happiness’ and the main elements of ‘complexity theory.’ In addition, changes before and after participating in such education implementation were analyzed from various angles. Through this, preservice science teachers tried to derive implications for developing multidimensional teacher professionalism in ESD. The main findings are as follows. First, as a result of peer evaluation of class materials and class demonstrations designed by preservice science teachers, the average of the integration for ‘sustainable happiness’ was relatively high. Next, it was analyzed that the elements of ‘sustainable happiness’ and ‘complexity theory’ generally had a positive correlation with ESD. In addition, after participating in the study, preservice science teachers considered individual and social behavioral patterns as important in the sense of ESD. Regarding the need to integrate science education and ESD, preservice science teachers thought it was necessary to deal with the concept of ‘sustainable happiness’ in science education to understand a sustainable way of life. It was analyzed that the elements of ‘sustainable happiness’ and ‘complexity theory’ generally had a positive correlation with ESD. It was found that preservice science teachers’ confidence in incorporating ESD in science classes was significantly higher after participation in the study. In addition, it was analyzed that preservice science teachers have come to think more about the role of teachers who can communicate with students and think about happy lives together than before. Overall, it is thought that preservice science teachers have come to think of multidimensional science teacher professionalism by applying the perspective of the teaching and learning strategy of the new ESD, which integrates the concept of ‘sustainable happiness’ and elements of ‘complexity theory.’</p> Yeon-A Son Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) 2024-03-29 2024-03-29 6 3 314 335 10.26689/erd.v6i3.6679 Analysis of the Related Problems of Campus Green Space in Relieving College Students’ Psychological Stress http://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/erd/article/view/6514 <p>This paper analyzes the problem of campus green space in relieving college students’ psychological pressure.

The balance between time dedicated to professional practice and time available for physical and psychological rest is analyzed based on the definition of stress as a collection of daily situations that impact the personal and professional development of an individual, which escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic with the rise of virtual educational practices. The study, conducted in two educational units in Quito, Ecuador, involved administering the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire to 155 participants, alongside collecting data on sociodemographic variables. Statistical analysis was performed using the JASP 0.15 program. The results indicate the level of work stress experienced by teachers, depending on various sociodemographic variables including rural or urban setting, gender, age, level of education, marital status, and cohabitation arrangements. A statistically significant correlation (&lt; 0.001) was observed, particularly regarding the challenge faced by over half of the participants (0.51) in finding time for postgraduate studies. Additionally, a moderate correlation was found between inattention and various symptoms: frustration (0.46), guilt (0.36), weariness (0.26), tiredness (0.51), lack of attention (0.26), and the importance of work (0.43). These findings prompt a discussion on the allocation of time and workload for teachers, irrespective of their location in rural or urban areas.</p> Cristina del Rocío Rosero Morán Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s) 2024-03-29 2024-03-29 6 3 345 356 10.26689/erd.v6i3.6680
