“…Positioning research in education has illuminated the social processes of learning and drawn attention to the consequences of positioning for access to learning opportunities. For example, positioning theory has been used in education research to examine how teachers position students through asset or deficit frames (Katz & DaSilva Iddings, 2009; Seltzer, 2022) and how teacher or mentor positioning influences student access to academic and disciplinary identities (Falconer, 2019; Hazari et al, 2015; Kane, 2012; Vetter, 2010).…”

“…Recognizing the ways in which self- and other-positions interact and/or overlap with each other, writing studies scholars have looked to a range of intersectional identity markers when examining the ways in which people of color and members of other marginalized groups negotiate academic and professional contexts and discourses (Falconer, 2019; Lewis Ellison et al, 2020; Seltzer, 2022). Intersectionality, as introduced by Crenshaw (1991), emerged as a framework for articulating the interactions of racism, sexism, and other power-laden structures.…”

Social Positioning and Learning Opportunities in One Student’s Textual Transition to College Writing

Developing academic writers must continually position themselves discursively as they negotiate institutional, programmatic, and disciplinary contexts. The inextricable relationship of writing and identities raises questions of access to social identities in schools, a particularly salient issue when considering the complexities and challenges of the high school to college transition for students from historically marginalized groups. This study focuses on Jain, a first-generation Latino college student, as he positions himself as a writer over 18 months in response to a range of school-based writing tasks. My analysis finds that Jain’s identity negotiations are influenced by a history of social positioning in schools, as his stance-making patterns and sense of self as a writer reflect resources and opportunities he encounters. This study adds to research demonstrating the role teachers and institutions can play in (in)validating certain aspects of students’ identities and influencing belonging in school spaces, indicating a need for educators and researchers across K-12 and college contexts to continue to challenge the standardization of school writing and the prevalence of assessments that limit curricula and constrain identities.

Examination of applicability of the ISO slab phantom as calibration phantom for the new ICRU 95 operational quantity personal dose

et al. 2022

In this article, the proposal of ICRU/ICRP, that the ISO slab phantom should continue to be used as calibration phantom for the new ICRU Report 95 operational quantity personal dose should be legitimized by simulation and performance of experiments to determine backscatter factors on the ISO slab phantom and, in comparison, on an anthropomorphic Alderson Rando phantom. The scope of this work was restricted to the photon energy range of radiation qualities commonly used in X-ray diagnostics. For this purpose, a shadow-free diagnostic (SFD) ionization chamber was used to measure backscatter factors for X radiation in the energy range of 24 keV to 118 keV. The Monte Carlo code MCNP 6.2 was used to validate measurement results on the ISO slab phantom. Additionally, the influence of varying the SFD position on the Rando phantom on the backscatter factor was determined. Since backscatter factors on the ISO slab phantom differ only up to 5 % from those on the Rando phantom, it could be concluded that it is not necessary to develop a new phantom for calibrations in terms of personal dose. A position variation of the detector by few centimeters on the surface of the Rando phantom causes similarly large deviations and thus alone represents an equally large uncertainty contribution in practical personal dosimetry than that arising from the dissimilarity of the real human body to the ISO slab phantom.

Research in the Teaching of English

in each of the bibliography's nine subject areas over the past year. Team members reviewed library databases such as Education Full Text, WorldCat, EBSCO, and ERIC, as well as leading empirical journals, to select relevant reports in each area of the bibliography. Because this bibliography is published for readers of Research in the Teaching of English, we asked contributors not to include articles from RTE, which would most likely already be familiar to the audience.The expert teams looked for major or large studies that held significant implications for teaching English language arts, as well as research that might lead to new insights into the paradigms or methodological practices within a given field in the coming years. Of course we could not include every high-quality research study conducted in the nine content areas of this bibliography over the past year; instead, the background knowledge and perceptions of the contributors worked together to construct a manageable body of important research that RTE readers might want to explore further.As was the case for previous versions, this year's bibliography is available solely as a downloadable PDF file at http://www.ncte.org/journals/rte/biblios. We appreciate the fact that NCTE has provided free access to these annual bibliographies going back to 2003.Readers can search the PDF for relevant research by using the "Find" feature on Adobe Acrobat to locate particular topics, authors, or journals. To engage in topic searches, readers can also use the tags listed both below and in the beginning of each section. These tags represent some of the most common topics inductively derived from the abstracted studies. While there could be many more tags, we wanted to limit them to a manageable number. Each abstract has been assigned up to four tags, beginning with a section tag (for example, #digital/technologytools) and, in many cases, followed by another section tag (for example, #reading). Because many of the studies in this bibliography fall into multiple categories, readers can search for such studies by entering both section tags (for example, #literaryresponse/ literature/narrative #reading).We hope that this searchable bibliography, which has been edited to select high-quality research and which includes abstracts created by the contributors, continues to provide a valuable service to the RTE scholarly community.
