This mixed-methods systematic review provides an overview of the barriers and facilitators faced by food service professionals when implementing food/nutrition standards and provides an important link…

Despite advances in the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in society, there are still negative attitudes toward them. For this reason, it is considered necessary to carry out interventions aimed at changing attitudes toward this group and the characteristics of such interventions should be analysed. To this end, a review of the…

Although the field of autism intervention has strived to identify evidence-based practices, translating these interventions into real-world settings remains a significant challenge. This gap particularly impacts marginalized communities, where access to and quality of services are often inferior. Implementation science addresses these gaps by…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) has been suggested as a potentially beneficial addition to modern doctoral education. However, there is little research outlining the specificities of WIL aimed at PhD students. This paper explores the range of WIL opportunities available to PhD students through a review of secondary data. The findings indicate that…

Early care and education (ECE) apprenticeship programs provide structured on-the-job learning combined with job-related education or coursework. ECE apprenticeships are viewed as a promising strategy to prepare people for careers in ECE and provide career pathways for people currently working in ECE. ECE Registered Apprenticeship Programs--meaning…

Numerous influential policy and scientific bodies are calling for more rapid advances in the scale-up of child and youth mental health services (CYMHS). A number of CYMHS innovations hold promise for advancing scale-up but little is known about how real-world efforts are progressing. We conducted a scoping review to identify promising approaches…

Implementation of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) has become common place in schools across the globe. Perhaps, the prevailing definitions and operationalization of PLCs could explain the disparities in how they are executed in various contexts. By investigating a selection of recent studies, this review of literature aims to analyse how…

Positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) is a three-tiered framework shown to improve student behavioral outcomes. There has been considerable investment in scaling up Tier 1 PBIS but less focus on scaling Tier 2 supports. Having greater insight into teachers,' students,' and families' perceptions regarding the social validity of Tier 2…

There has been a recent increase in studies devoted to integrated science, technology, and engineering mathematics (STEM) education. However, as the field is emerging, there has not been a large amount of scholarship on how to best provide teacher professional development (PD) on integrated STEM education. On the other hand, well-grounded research…

Early care and education (ECE) apprenticeship programs provide structured on-the-job learning combined with job-related education or coursework. ECE apprenticeships are viewed as a promising strategy to prepare people for careers in ECE or provide career pathways for the those currently working in ECE. This report presents a framework to guide…

Culturally responsive interventions for autistic children and their families have been developed and implemented to address issues related to limited representation, inequities, and disparities in access to care of minoritized families in research. Currently available reviews are relatively limited in scope or do not synthesize interventions…

Work-integrated learning in initial teacher education has gained significant attention in universities, often equated with mandatory classroom professional experience. This systematic literature review examines the conceptualisation of work-integrated learning and its implementation in initial teacher education programs over the past decade,…

As educational research increasingly emphasizes identifying effective interventions through rigorous causal methods, the role of implementation in determining a program's impact has gained renewed significance. Despite the long-standing recognition that implementation varies across contexts and influences outcomes (Berman & McLaughlin, 1974;…

In response to the dynamics of higher education (HE) across the globe, international joint-degree training programmes (JPs), have been increasingly promoted within Vietnam's national strategies to internationalize its HE system. The complexities in governance, coupled with the proliferation of JPs over the last decades, have prompted more…
