The Pinocchio effect : decolonialities, spiritualities, and identities
\"We are in an age where automatization and systematic exclusion is beyond common sense within public schools. The failure of society in the United States to address social problems spills over into schools where youth who refuse to conform to the broken system are labelled as deviant and legitimately excluded. Students who conform are made real by the system and allowed back into society to keep manufacturing the same inequalities. This is the Pinocchio Effect. It involves the legitimization of hegemonic knowledge and the oppression of bodies, mind, and spiritualities. Students are forced through a public education that anesthetizes and inculcates an imaginicide. It is not what students know and feel but rather what knowledge benefits societal profits. This is an issue of social and cognitive justice which requires a decolonization of the mind. Educators can engage in a decolonial praxis where they are actively analysing themselves, society, knowledge, and the realities of students. The standardization of curriculum must be combatted by educators engaging in conscientizaًcنao and consciencism to understand their and students' spiritualities and identities. The Pinocchio Effect analyzes the impact of colonialities within U.S. public education by examining the learning experiences that influence teachers' and students' spiritualties, affecting the construction and oppression of their identities. Through decolonial autoethnography, the author examines how colonialities of being function within U.S. schools to create coloniality as a hegemonic philosophy of praxis that is perceived as liberatory instead of another oppressive system. Furthermore, contested spaces in which spiritualties as connected with knowledges and languages intersect as a result of hidden, written, and performed curriculum are analyzed. Elizabeth Janson examines how educators can decolonize the classroom, which functions as a political arena as well as a critical space of praxis in order to reveal how realities and knowledges are made nonexistent-an epistemic blindness and privilege\"-- Provided by publisher.

Middle range theory for nursing
Praise for the Second Edition: \"Smith and Liehr's exposition on nursing theory enhances nursing science and clinical practice with 12 middle range nursing theories. The discussion format of each chapter helps the reader understand the theories and the comparisons among them. This user-friendly reference is a must-have for students as well as academic and clinical nurse scholars.\" --AJN Book of the Year Award Review Middle range theory has become a vital staple of nursing education and application to research. These theories, which lie between the working hypotheses derived from day-to-day research and the larger, systemic efforts to develop unified theories, cover the scientific underpinnings that guide nursing practice and research. This third edition of a two-time AJN Book of the Year Award winner contains two new theories, including self-reliance theory and transitions theory. It revises and updates all other content, and provides ladders of abstraction for each theory to guide students in their appropriate use. This highly accessible book integrates nursing theory with well-defined practice areas, identifies purpose and basic concepts, foundational literature, relationships among concepts, and use in practice. Chapters are organized by central theories, each of which is covered in depth. Comprehensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter facilitate more in-depth research. The book remains an essential text for theory and research courses in master's and doctoral nursing programs. New to the Third Edition: Presents two new theories: self-reliance theory and transitions theory Deletes two theories no longer in use: community empowerment and family stress/adaptation Updates and revises all other content from the second edition Guides students in appropriate use of theory per level of complexity
