Research on Self-regulated Learning (SRL) increasingly emphasises contextual factors, highlighting the contingent, dynamic and temporal nature of self-regulation. However, the experiential aspect of how learners actually perceive and engage with SRL still remains relatively unexplored. While SRL emphasises active learner involvement in learning,…

This article explores the possibilities that the study of personal memories offers to historians of education. All the arguments revolve around three questions: (1) What is your first memory? From this starting point we explore research dealing with autobiographical memories, both earliest and school memories, as well as future possibilities in…

School-based education can be a context of adversity for some youth. Research has identified the value of work-based education in serving as a context of resilience to support individual-level factors including agency and autonomy, but researchers are increasingly highlighting the need for examining the influence of contextual factors. In this…

We explore the idea that teaching students as "scholars" can change their education within a values discourse that promotes certain personal attributes, including being engaged members of their university and society. The idea partially opposes the dominant neoliberal framing of higher education but is not foreign to normal academic…

In this Voices: Reflective Accounts of Education essay, Annalisa Butticci and Colie Levar Long reflect on the Afrocentric and sensory pedagogy and positionalities that helped incarcerated students and their teacher create a virtual learning community within one post pandemic prison higher education program. Through an ethnographic study of the…

Librarians provide instruction for students across disciplines, each with their own teaching and learning practices. An exploration of signature pedagogies will help librarians develop a deeper understanding of student learning.

In this re-review, we discuss a global-wide paradox of disability rights that claims adherence to human and civil rights frameworks while cultural, linguistic, racial, and ethnic disparities in special education outcomes remain unaddressed. We propose a multi-dimensional framework for understanding how the described inequalities persist, despite…

Countless reforms and interventions have sought to improve academic outcomes for immigrant-origin students, with labels like "at-risk" rushing forth to solve the "dropout crisis." And yet, even in culturally and linguistically affirmative environments, youth still fall to the margins. Using research from a newcomer school…

The interpretability of technical processes depends conceptually on lingual analogies. In analyzing the meaningfulness of applied linguistic designs, this chapter examines how technical design anticipates the expressive dimension of experience. Designs are articulated in the form of a blueprint for each language solution. The specifications in the…

Emotional abuse can have an enormous impact on children. Its effects can be equivalent to, or exceed, those of other forms of abuse. In today's classrooms, educators can expect to encounter numerous children who are exposed to this form of violence in their lives. It is essential that those who work with child are aware of the signs and symptoms…

One challenging aspect of working in early childhood education settings is engagement in emotional labor. Research suggests that emotional labor is associated with emotional exhaustion and burnout in early childhood teachers, but there is limited research available on this issue. Research focusing on early childhood contexts in the United States…

While the effects of new managerialism and the internationalization of higher education on university structures and functions have been widely examined, their impact on university leadership has been less investigated, although both phenomena suggest the need for different and more powerful leaders. This article aims to examine if the core…

The purpose of this article is threefold: to offer a vision of human flourishing in the academy premised upon 'living in truth', embracing lived experience and being in relation; to explore counterfactual thinking across the life-course, from the period of compulsory schooling to the end of life, with the emphasis on the latter; and to critique…

Ian Normile begins this study from the premise that critical thinking is often conceptualized and practiced in problematically narrow and instrumentalized ways. Following Ronald Barnett, he suggests that the idea of "critical being" can help expand the theory and practice of critical thinking to better meet the needs of education and…
