Broadening Perspectives on Belonging

Sun, April 14, 7:45 to 9:15am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Room 412

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session uses different lenses to illuminate crucial aspects of student belonging. The first delves into the Indigenous students' sense of belonging, employing an exploratory mixed methods approach to unveil key themes and develop a nuanced understanding of their experiences. The second reviews 180 articles to distinguish relatedness from belongingness, unveiling inconsistencies. The third explores the impact of professors learning students' names on classroom dynamics, linking it to a more supportive environment and decreased impostor feelings. Lastly, the fourth examines students' perceptions of teacher care in deeper learning schools, identifying variations in experiences and highlighting the need for culturally-congruent care. Together, these studies offer insights into fostering learning in culturally diverse environments and contexts.
