cye: A Pathfinder
This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called cye.
Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:
Children; Youth; Play; School; Education; Health; Development; Usa; Article; Ipa
Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

- Children’s Right to Participate in Playground Development : A Critical Review by Schoeppich, Amy; Koller, Donna; McLaren, Coralee (2022.0) - In this context, child participation is defined as their active involvement in collaborative decision-making about issues that directly affect the everyday life of young people (Derr et al., 2018; Hart, 1992). The highest level of child participation, which Hart considered the optimal form, involves child-initiated decisions that are shared with adults.

- Nature’s Role in Young Children’s Everyday Science Learning: A Case Study by Andrews, Kathryn J. (2022.0) - This telling case will illustrate what counts as science to a young child learning in a family context, how parents may support science learning, and nature’s role in family science learning. In fact, some researchers contend parent interactions positively contribute to science learning, perhaps, more than practitioner intervention in the classroom (Lloyd et al., 2017).

- The Necessity of Urban Green Space for Children’s Optimal Development: A Discussion Paper by Chalwa, Louise (2022.0) - The paper covers its topics concisely, in an attractive format that includes vivid images of children around the world enjoying green spaces of different kinds. In 1989, when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the number of studies that demonstrated that people need greenery and green spaces near them for their health and wellbeing could be counted on one hand, and none of these pioneering studies involved children.

- The Youngest Citizens: Children’s Rights in Latin America by Maclure, Richard (2022.0) - Nevertheless, ending on what this reviewer regards as perhaps an overly optimistic view of children’s resilience and capacity to mobilize as “young citizens,” Risley concludes that the struggle for child rights in Latin America has made significant gains in Book Review: The Youngest Citizens: Children’s Rights in Latin America 186 terms of heightened collective awareness and movement on policy and legislative fronts.

- Review: Urban Playground: How Child-Friendly Planning and Design Can Save Cities by Tim Gill by Tranter, Paul (2022.0) - In Urban Playground Tim Gill provides a cogent explanation of why child-friendly planning is not only important for children, but for the future survival of cities themselves. His experience in urban design, transport, children’s play and well-being advocacy, planning, and public policy provides a rich understanding of the complexities involved in understanding the changing nature of children’s play and the importance of the people and places around children to their well-being.

- Review: Latin American Transnational Children and Youth: Experiences of Nature and Place, Culture and Care across the Americas by Victoria Derr, Yolanda Corona by Ruiz, Karina (2022.0) - While Querencia is a strong theme throughout the book, it particularly resonates through chapter 4 on migrant children who use their sense of connection to land as a way to create a sense of belonging in new places. The concept of querencia, articulated by Derr in chapter one, provides a particularly powerful framing for this section as it calls attention to the ways children connect and disconnect from places through emotional attachments or lack thereof.

- The Role of Landscape Elements in Outdoor Learning Environment Design to Facilitate STEAM Learning in Early Years: Learning in Early Years: by Trina, Nazia Afrin; Monsur, Muntazar; Cosco, Nilda; Shine, Stephanie; Mastergeorge, Ann; Loon, Leehu (2025.0) - While outdoor play settings are pivotal for STEAM learning and STEAM concept development in early childhood (Trina et al., 2024), studying children's behavior in this context is challenging due to the need to conduct naturalistic observations in outdoor settings (Cutter-Mackenzie et al., 2015). Mathematics behaviors, particularly balancing, sorting and comparing, are the most consistently observed, suggesting these skills are frequently explored and reinforced in outdoor play settings.

- Eyes on Parkland: Understanding Youth Civic Engagement in the Aftermath of a Mass Shooting by Gecker, Whitney; Augsberger, Astraea; Collins, Mary Elizabeth; Barber, Kelsey (2022.0) - In the evolving politicization of the Parkland youth, the social justice framework is evident in 1) the call for youth rights and a need to listen to youth voices, and 2) in the collaboration in which Parkland youth engaged that attempted to broaden the lens of gun violence. Yet, after about a week of coverage that focused on Parkland youth as victims, even these privileged youth began to experience media criticism and backlash.

- Changes in Livelihood Aspirations among Formally Educated Pastoral Youth in Northern Kenya by Van Anda, Roy ; Bruyere, Brett L.; Salerno, Jonathan; Lengima, Alfonso; Alinta, Vivian; Yasin, Apin (2022.0) - Further, formally educated individuals who have regular non-pastoral income tend to lose a higher percentage of their herd during shock events such as drought, more than their less formally educated peers who lack non-pastoral income (Little et al., 2009). In numerous studies, individuals with formal education were better positioned, via non-pastoral income, to restock following times of market failure, such as during and after drought and disease outbreaks (Headey et al., 2014; Little et al., 2001; Little et al., 2009; McPeak, Little, & Doss, 2011).

- Plugging Students into Nature through Butterfly Gardening: A Reconciled Ecological Approach to Insect Conservation by Clayborn, Jaeson; Koptur, Suzanne; O’Brien, George (2022.0) - The objectives of our study were to: 1) incorporate a curriculum unit designed to address the plight of a rare butterfly, insect conservation, and forest ecosystems; 2) facilitate the construction of native plant butterfly gardens in school yards; 3) increase the number of butterfly gardens in the extended community; and 4) assess both changes in attitudes and gains in content knowledge from the sequenced lessons in the curriculum unit. We applied a mixed-methods approach (Cook & Campbell, 1979; Creswell, 1994; Morse, 1991; Tashakkori & Teddlie, 1998) in this study to better understand the impact of extending the classroom experience to the home environment through the applied project of nurturing butterfly plants at home.
