Visual representations of data are widely used for communication and understanding, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, despite their importance, many people have difficulty understanding data-based visualizations. This work presents a series of three studies that examine how understanding time-based…

We start with a door We move by, through, along-with doors What do doors do in campus spaces? We walk-play-ponder-with doors We think-feel-do with doors Door choreographies Doors that rule Bossy doors Doors that do things to us Doors seen and unseen Doors known and felt We unhinge doors We open a door to notice doors' doings in campus spaces…

Gestures--hand movements that accompany speech and express ideas--can help children learn how to solve problems, flexibly generalize learning to novel problem-solving contexts, and retain what they have learned. But does it matter who is doing the gesturing? We know that producing gesture leads to better comprehension of a message than watching…

This Research Brief provides an overview of the current scholarship on transnational feminist rhetorics (TFR), drawing from interdisciplinary traditions. TFR inquiries should always begin with "a cogent analysis of power" (Dingo et al.), attending to how transnational power dynamics act on gendered bodies and how those bodies engage with…

There are moments that define one's life, and while we never forget them, reflection can lead to new perspectives. In the early 1980s I was part of a long peace march for nuclear disarmament. In 2020, an Internet search for information about this peace march found some documents that provided an impetus for reflection on memory and identity. This…

This study includes the educational utilization of Visual-culture digital-products, such as a documentary film, photographs, and historical texts. The research aim was for the students to develop visual literacy and enhance historical understanding through critical thinking by using products of visual-digital culture. Through the research…

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of an educational program based on images and graphics in developing some spatial and temporal concepts among kindergarten children. The researchers used the semi-experimental approach, and the sample of the study, chosen randomly, consisted of (50) children and distributed among the two study groups…

In addition to the third edition of EUA's Autonomy Scorecard, which was published in March 2023, a series of country profiles were released between Autumn 2023 and Spring 2024. The comprehensive analysis of all indicators in these systems revealed that in some cases there was a need for a different categorisation of specific situations. While the…

To better understand situational factors that influence the adoption and utilization of a common classroom technology, interactive whiteboards, this research used a mixed-methods approach to investigate the technological and pedagogical tasks instructors complete prior to and following lesson delivery within the context of institutional…

The Scorecard 2023 provides a full comparative analysis of the state of play of university autonomy in 35 higher education systems in Europe. With findings across four dimensions of university autonomy -- organisational, financial, staffing, academic - the Scorecard supports an evidence-based dialogue on this crucial topic. This allows concrete…

Though temporal reasoning is a key factor for text comprehension, existing proposals for visualizing temporal information and temporal connectives proves to be inadequate for children, not only for their levels of abstraction and detail, but also because they rely on pre-existing mental models of time and temporal connectives, while in the case of…
