“…For this reason, we decided to conduct a study on a group of male street offenders. Street crime relates to various kinds of criminal activity most typically including offences against the person (e.g., murder, assault) and offences against property (e.g., burglary, theft), but in broader terms, also drug crime or hate crime ( Sanchez, 2019 ).…”

Life History Strategies of Male Criminal Offenders: Verifying Traditional Life History Patterns

Life history (LH) strategies are results of trade-offs that species must make due to inhabiting certain ecological niches. Although it is assumed that, through the process of developmental plasticity, similar trade-offs are made by individuals in response to a certain level of harshness and unpredictability of their local environments, the study results on this matter are not consistent. In LH-oriented psychological research, such inconsistencies are often explained as a consequence of significant individual differences in phenotypical quality and owned resources, which make studying trade-offs difficult due to different costs and benefits of the same behaviors taken by different individuals. To verify if traditional LH patterns can be found among individuals with more comparable qualities, than in the general population, the current study was conducted on a group of male criminal offenders, who are typically associated with a fast LH strategy. Our results did not show any support for either LH trade-offs or unidimensional character of LH strategies in the criminal group studied. The traditional biodemographic LH traits, that we used to assess a LH strategy, merged into three well-known LH dimensions (mating, parenting, and somatic effort) that yet turned out to be entirely independent from each other. Moreover, each LH dimension turned out to be uniquely related to a different aspect of the developmental environment. The implications of the obtained results are discussed.

“…Survey and focus group data revealed that the majority of students (survey respondents 84.7%; focus group members 86.2%) viewed the open materials favourably, highlighting (i) dynamic and plentiful materials beyond what would be typically contained in a textbook, (ii) the ability to access the materials anywhere digitally and (iii) the cost-saving factor for their education. Sanchez et al [61] also investigated students' (n = 144) perception of open educational resources, over the course of one year, on a criminal justice course. Qualitative student feedback showed two emerging topics: (i) feelings of relief and (ii) perception of accessibility.…”

“…For example, Çetinkaya-Rundel & Ellison [45] observed that introducing open educational resources within a data science course led to increased enrollment in the class in subsequent years. Further, Sanchez et al [61] adopted open educational resources and evaluated this with students using qualitative methods. Students in the evaluation (n = 144 qualitative comments) noted that the use of open resources was also more accessible and easier to engage with, which improved students' overall engagement with the materials.…”

Teaching open and reproducible scholarship: a critical review of the evidence base for current pedagogical methods and their outcomes

et al. 2023

In recent years, the scientific community has called for improvements in the credibility, robustness and reproducibility of research, characterized by increased interest and promotion of open and transparent research practices. While progress has been positive, there is a lack of consideration about how this approach can be embedded into undergraduate and postgraduate research training. Specifically, a critical overview of the literature which investigates how integrating open and reproducible science may influence student outcomes is needed. In this paper, we provide the first critical review of literature surrounding the integration of open and reproducible scholarship into teaching and learning and its associated outcomes in students. Our review highlighted how embedding open and reproducible scholarship appears to be associated with (i) students' scientific literacies (i.e. students’ understanding of open research, consumption of science and the development of transferable skills); (ii) student engagement (i.e. motivation and engagement with learning, collaboration and engagement in open research) and (iii) students' attitudes towards science (i.e. trust in science and confidence in research findings). However, our review also identified a need for more robust and rigorous methods within pedagogical research, including more interventional and experimental evaluations of teaching practice. We discuss implications for teaching and learning scholarship.
