TL;DR: The authors proposed an analytic model of the different types of knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of a mathematics teacher, and their relationship with practice, which has implications for teacher education and has been shown to have significant impact on teacher education.
Abstract: Official pressure for reforms in the teaching of mathematics overlooks a key factor: the psychological foundations of the practice of teaching mathematics, including the teacher's knowledge, beliefs and attitudes. Research on teaching and teacher education also under‐emphasises this area, which Shulman terms the ‘missing program’ in research on teacher cognitions. The present paper addresses this lack by proposing an analytic model of the different types of knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of the mathematics teacher, and their relationship with practice. Of particular note is the importance accorded to the teacher's practical knowledge of the teaching of mathematics (both pedagogical and curricular knowledge), knowledge of classroom organisation, and knowledge of the school context. Also notable is the importance ascribed to the teacher's beliefs concerning the nature of mathematics, and concerning the processes of teaching and learning mathematics. The model has implications for teacher educatio...

TL;DR: In this paper, three waste management behaviors (waste reduction, reuse, and recycling) were examined with the use of a conceptual framework developed by the author and tested in a self-report questionnaire of 673 residents of Exeter, UK.
Abstract: Three waste management behaviors (waste reduction, reuse, and recycling) were examined with the use of a conceptual framework developed by the author. It was posited that environmental values, situational characteristics, and psychological factors all play a significant role in the prediction of waste management behavior, within the context of a core intention-behavior relationship. The framework was tested in a self-report questionnaire of 673 residents of Exeter, UK. It was found that the predictors of reduction, reuse, and recycling behavior differed significantly, with reduction and reuse being predicted by underlying environmental values, knowledge, and concern-based variables. Recycling behavior was, in contrast, characterized as highly normative behavior. The use of the approach taken for investigating other environmental behaviors is examined.

TL;DR: It is shown how ecosystem service assessments can be expanded to include mental health, and a heuristic, conceptual model for doing so is provided.
Abstract: A growing body of empirical evidence is revealing the value of nature experience for mental health. With rapid urbanization and declines in human contact with nature globally, crucial decisions must be made about how to preserve and enhance opportunities for nature experience. Here, we first provide points of consensus across the natural, social, and health sciences on the impacts of nature experience on cognitive functioning, emotional well-being, and other dimensions of mental health. We then show how ecosystem service assessments can be expanded to include mental health, and provide a heuristic, conceptual model for doing so.

TL;DR: MBCT was more effective than m-ADM in reducing residual depressive symptoms and psychiatric comorbidity and in improving quality of life in the physical and psychological domains.
Abstract: For people at risk of depressive relapse, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has an additive benefit to usual care (H. F. Coelho, P. H. Canter, & E. Ernst, 2007). This study asked if, among patients with recurrent depression who are treated with antidepressant medication (ADM), MBCT is comparable to treatment with maintenance ADM (m-ADM) in (a) depressive relapse prevention, (b) key secondary outcomes, and (c) cost effectiveness. The study design was a parallel 2-group randomized controlled trial comparing those on m-ADM (N = 62) with those receiving MBCT plus support to taper/discontinue antidepressants (N = 61). Relapse/recurrence rates over 15-month follow-ups in MBCT were 47%, compared with 60% in the m-ADM group (hazard ratio = 0.63; 95% confidence interval: 0.39 to 1.04). MBCT was more effective than m-ADM in reducing residual depressive symptoms and psychiatric comorbidity and in improving quality of life in the physical and psychological domains. There was no difference in average annual cost between the 2 groups. Rates of ADM usage in the MBCT group was significantly reduced, and 46 patients (75%) completely discontinued their ADM. For patients treated with ADM, MBCT may provide an alternative approach for relapse prevention.
