Margaret Edwards's research while affiliated with Athabasca University and other places

... 40 Potential explanations for this may lie in the fact that physicians might often receive higher levels of appreciation and be more valued, and their suffering is more acknowledged than that of nurses. 41 Furthermore, occupational hierarchies shape the experience of work. 19 Nurses usually find themselves in less-empowered positions, and workplace empowerment is associated with reduced feelings of occupational stress among nurses. ...

... This study contributes to the ongoing scholarship of teaching and learning research around arts integration in nursing education (Obara et al. 2022;Rieger et al. 2020a;Rieger et al. 2020b;Rieger et al. 2021). The addition of a collaborative visual element to a group assignment gave students the opportunity to show their understanding of social justice in a novel and creative way. ...

... Arts-based instructional strategies are used in the schools in Nepal by the emergence of STEAM education by Kathmandu University. This technique of teaching and learning science increases the quality of interactions, enhances the sense of community, further application of course content, and helps learners to establish a group identity where ideas were respectfully shared and divergent perspectives admire (Perry, & Edwards, 2019 ...

... Like adult learning, engagement with cultural texts is a multidimensional process, in which emotions, senses, and experience matter as much as intellect (Gouthro 2019; Hayes 2019; Jarvis 2019; Perry, Edwards, and Janzen 2019). The popular culture texts that interest us most -those found on television and film -employ visuals and soundscapes to pull audience members into worlds of characters and storylines that can seem both familiar and unknown (Abidi et al. 2017;Brown 2011;Callahan, Whitener, and Sandlin 2007;Jones and Hughes-Decatur 2012;Perry, Edwards, and Janzen 2019;Tisdell 2008). They allow 'the audience to participate in the events discussed and to come closer to experiencing them' (Litawa 2021, 5). ...

... health care, environment, and materials, could be expected to enhance the cognitive development. Janzen et al. (2017) also discovered in the research that family educational resources, during the summer vacation from kindergartens upgrading to grade one of elementary schools, could benefi t children's cognitive development. Tse et al. (2017) revealed that children with higher parents' education years, father's position, and family income appeared higher participation in cram schools possibly, because of higher education expectation of children, to be willing to invest more educational resources in children. ...

... The Faculty of Health Disciplines at Athabasca University in Alberta Canada has developed their graduate programs in nursing and health studies using an underlying foundation of invitational theory. Faculty here have developed and pioneered the use of artistic pedagogical technologies (APTs) as a strategy for creating invitational online classrooms [10] [11] . Research conducted by Perry and Edwards [12] found that the use of APTs in online learning facilitated interactions among teachers and learners and helped to create "an air of hospitality". ...

... APTs differ from traditional teaching techniques, such as the lecture, because of the emphasis on aesthetics and creativity. Since the concept of APTs was first described, several studies have demonstrated that these teaching strategies benefit online learning (Beth Perry, 2006;Perry, Dalton & Edwards, 2009;Perry, Menzies, Janzen & Edwards, 2011). More specifically, APTs contribute to the development of online learning communities by initiating, motivating, sustaining, and enhancing interactions among students and between students and instructors (Perry & Edwards, 2010). ...

... Research by Perry et al. (2011) showed that Artistic Pedagogical Technologies (APTs) could be melded with the creative arts to enhance student motivation and social connectedness and create positive learning environments. The use of cross-media technologies in education can capture the attention and motivate student learning, provide a tool to nurture creative abilities, foster discussion, and offer experiences and memories that promote new ways of thinking about educational concepts (Frie et al., 2010;Janzen et al., 2017). ...

... Arts-based strategies as those founded in the arts, specifically literary, visual, musical, or drama mediums. Our earlier research found that interaction, social presence, and the sense of community were enhanced when arts-based approaches were used, in part because they encouraged creativity, helped to build rapport among participants, personalized interactions, cultivated trust, and promoted learner control (Janzen, Perry & Edwards, 2012a). We concluded that arts-based instructional strategies contributed to positive student outcomes. ...

... In order to provide variations in the stages of the quantum learning model, educators (lecturers) can use learning media so that they can support the smooth delivery of information in the learning process. According to Janzen et al. (2011), the quantum learning model is not limited to classrooms but can be developed in virtual classrooms so that virtual learning can add advantages to quantum learning. Oktavia & Hulu (2017) found that the use of interactive media in quantum learning can improve student achievement in learning the language. ...
