Background: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered nationwide school closures in March 2020, putting millions of children in the United States who depended on subsidized school meals at risk of hunger. In response, the US Department of Agriculture activated the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program to provide…

The purpose of this scoping review is to understand ways in which podcasting is used to communicate research findings and mobilize knowledge to a public audience. We address the use of podcasting as a broad research dissemination tool, as opposed to podcasting as a tool in formal education contexts. We summarize findings of individual studies,…

The role of social media in the global society and economy has increased substantially over the years across different populations, age groups, and contexts. Using social media can be both beneficial and risky. People's ability to navigate it safely and effectively largely depends on their social media literacy skills, which has significant…

Objective: During young adulthood, drinking and sexual behaviors are both normative and inextricably linked. While this association is well documented, little is known about how students define positive and negative drinking-related sexual experiences. Methods: Thirty-five undergraduates participated in a focus group about sexual experiences in…

The paper argues that learning analytics as a research field can benefit from a theory-informed shared language to describe sensemaking of learning and teaching data. To make the case for such shared language, first, I critically review prominent sensemaking theories to then demonstrate how studies in learning analytics do not use coherent…

This study aimed to investigate the perceived affordances of incorporating esports into higher education using an ecological systems approach that examined the multiple factors shaping behaviours at the individual, interpersonal, and organisational levels. A total of 40 participants, comprising 32 students and 8 teachers, were invited to take part…

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to advocate for the use of arts-based research, particularly comic-making within narrative and ethnographic research on physical education. Method: A discussion of comics-based research is provided herein that outlines the affordances offered by the comics medium as a tool within research, particularly…

Background: People with intellectual disabilities in Flanders (Belgium) often rely on their direct support professionals (DSPs) to engage in meaningful activities. While structured approaches exist to guide engagement, limited insight is available into the specific support DSPs need in practice. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was…

Objective: Much is known about how alcohol increases the risk of sexual assault or intimate partner violence victimization during college.

Participants: Participants included college students who received a…

Laboratory activities are central to undergraduate student learning in science and engineering. With advancements in computer technology, many laboratory activities have shifted from providing students experiments in a physical mode to providing them in a virtual mode. Further, physical and virtual modes can be combined to address a single topic,…

Although research scholarship offers valuable guidance to those hoping to use improvement science in their teaching and practice, it tends to center the perspectives of researchers and EdD program faculty. Less research has focused on the voices of practitioners who use improvement science in their schools and organizations. We draw on sensemaking…

Teaching is a highly stressful occupation. School psychologists, because of their training and expertise in group dynamics, consultation, and mental health service delivery, are well-positioned to support teacher mental health. These supports are broadly aligned with consultation, collaboration, and systems-level services that support positive…

This study explores translanguaging practices in a K-5 Mandarin Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES) program in the United States. Using an ethnographic case study approach, it examined how a Mandarin teacher enacted translanguaging practices in two fourth-grade Mandarin classrooms and explored the affordances these practices provided for…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its accessibility to almost everyone necessitate a clear definition of its role in education. The primary step in effectively integrating AI into mathematics education (ME) is formulating instructional strategies that consider its advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to develop…

Educational and playful forms of media are both pervasive in children's media landscape. Children tend to see play and learning as distinct, whereas parents tend to recognize the overlap between these categories; however, little research investigates children's and parents' conceptions of media as learning or play. Children (N = 80, five- and…
