The HyFlex course has been widely adopted in higher education settings. However, there is a paucity of empirical studies examining students' acceptance of large-scale HyFlex courses, as well as factors influencing their acceptance. To fill this research gap, the present study investigated students' acceptance of a large-scale HyFlex course and the…

Recent calls by legislators to exclude "divisive concepts" and histories from our curricula pose a challenge to the development of students' epistemic responsibility and agency in classrooms. In this paper, Martha Perez-Mugg examines the classroom as a space for the development of epistemic responsibility, ultimately suggesting that…

This paper reports on part of a larger study of critical language pedagogy (CLP) in university EFL classes in Japan. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews, we examined the philosophies, approaches, pedagogic choices, and adaptations of nineteen self-identifying critical pedagogues. Here, we focus on the theme of student receptivity to the…

Developing an inclusive learning environment in early childhood education (ECE) is vital because it prepares children for future success in school and society by recognising and responding to their differences. The objective of the present study was to explore the mediational effect of student engagement (SE) between the relationship of inclusive…

This article examines how teachers can navigate "difficult knowledge" embedded within digital stories, particularly those sourced from openly licensed literacy platforms. These platforms offer a rich tapestry of narratives reflecting diverse cultural contexts and experiences, but may also present challenging themes that require sensitive…

Several positive effects of the use of games in classroom teaching have been reported. However, in order to make game-based learning effective, teachers' current practices, their concerns and support mechanisms need to be better understood. This study collected data through an online survey from almost 1300 Estonian teachers about their game use…

This ethnographic study investigates the teaching and learning of the design process in biomedical engineering classrooms.

The CLASS-PreK instrument is widely used to evaluate early childhood classrooms, but how classrooms using Montessori, the world's most common alternative education system, fare on CLASS is understudied. Because CLASS focuses largely on teacher-child interactions as the situs of learning, but in Montessori theory, child-environment interactions are…

We consider what is known about the potential internal processes involved when educators come to use research findings in their classroom practice. We undertook a conceptual review drawing on a range of disciplines, with findings ultimately categorised under six phases regarding research uptake and implementation. This categorisation provides a…
