There is a significant amount of research into gender differences in academic performance in the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) fields. This has identified important differences between the academic achievement of men and women as measured through grade point averages and time to completion. However, the specific STEM fields of…

The presence of gender bias in school textbooks is a global educational challenge often associated with the hidden curricula. However, while the problem has been almost entirely attributed to general education systems little empirical data exists when it comes to higher education. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to shed light on the…

In this instrumental case study, I investigated the factors leading to school administrators' high attrition rates at a small private Christian school in central California. Across the United States, only 35% of public school K-12 administrators had been at their school for more than two years as of 2019 (Levin & Bradley, 2019). According to…

During the 1930s there was a significant shift in the debate about African colonial education.

No less, this pervasive phenomenon has been shown to affect us in many ways that can be linked to education. This paper examines this…

Classroom and behaviour management are often touted as ways to build relationships in the classroom.

Moreover, classroom and…

As they look beyond the usual arguments offered for and against the teaching of the game, they view it through three ethical lenses: the ethic of care, the ethic of anti-oppressive education, and…

This study empirically investigated the invisibility, or symbolic annihilation, in Japanese English education of social groups at risk of marginalization.
