Universities are rethinking their teaching and research programs and their whole third mission in response to the framework provided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But how do universities walk the talk? What are the main strategies and activities undertaken by universities to implement the 2030 Agenda? While the higher education…

Purpose: In the wake of interlocking pandemics, educational systems are resetting in important ways, pursuing aims that are not exclusively instructional (e.g., social justice, well-being). As systems (re)build, they may vary in how they manage their institutional and policy environments, which may or may not be reorienting toward these same…

Previous research has analyzed the meaning and value of STEM education and explored both its current possibilities and future development. However, STEM education experts have not reached a consensus on the goals of STEM education, making its promotion more challenging. Thus, this study examined which particular STEM education goals should be…

A key policy challenge in establishing new universities is the potential risk of lower academic standards and mission drift, which can affect policy effectiveness and outcomes. While regulation and funding tend to be preferred policy instruments for securing control of higher education expansion and achieving policy objectives, this article…

Currently, there is a disconnect between the educational goals of the McKinney-Vento (MKV) Homeless Assistance Act, the equity aims of Career Technical Education (CTE) legislation under Perkins V, and policy implementation -- how government agencies seek to implement both in practice. The McKinney-Vento Act mandates that local education agencies…

Research has extensively documented the benefits of inquiry-based science teaching, but less attention has been paid to how novice teachers' personal teaching goals influence their implementation of this approach. This study aimed to explore novice physical sciences teachers' goals to understand how they relate to IBI implementation. This research…

In his 2019 book, "Teaching to the North-East: Relationship-Based Learning in Practice" [ED594672] Russell Bishop identified how Maori and other marginalised students--such as the children of migrant, refugee, and faith-based groups and neuro- and gender-diverse children--can benefit from a North-East relationship-based pedagogy.
