This paper problematizes the experience of temporality in school education and explores its potentialities, examining the implications for educational justice in and for qualitative research. In a first stage, we develop a "pars destruens" of how the experience of temporality takes place as a transversal dimension of school activities.…

In this article, the author explores the question: did Montessori actually espouse an uninterrupted work period of 3 hours?

Is it possible to reduce the time students spend in classrooms and schools? Would such a reduction be better for learning and retaining teachers? How should learning be more flexibly enacted in the post-pandemic era? This article discusses the possibilities of rethinking school participation and calls for schools to reconsider the necessity and…

Efforts to improve education outcomes often involve lengthening the school day or the school year in hopes that spending more time in school will boost student learning. Yet, as Frederick Hess explains, U.S. students spend as much or more total time in school as their peers in other industrialized nations. What matters more than the amount of time…

In immersive block models students learn over shorter teaching periods and with fewer concurrent units than in typical semester or trimester models. A core aim of many such innovations is to enhance students' learning outcomes; however, there are few investigations of student satisfaction at scale in immersive block models. This paper reports on…

High school students feel pressure to excel in their school subjects and participate in after-school activities. However, with scheduled hours in the school day, students must find a way to balance their academics and their after-school activities while finding time to sleep. Some research suggests that later start times may increase students'…

Undergraduate students often indicate they prefer a flexible course schedule and pace when completing asynchronous online courses, often in an effort to balance their academic commitments with their personal and professional obligations. While students must focus on their time management skills when taking an online course, faculty often have…

At Mayfield Middle School, in order to create personalized and more meaningful learning experiences for the students, it was realized that a typical, traditional schedule was not always conducive to the types of learning experiences teachers wanted to create. Teachers had great ideas for projects and practices that would incorporate more critical…

Early childhood education is essential for students' long-term academic success. From laying the groundwork for algebraic thinking in kindergarten to developing math fluency through problem-solving and strengthening reading comprehension through knowledge building, these articles offer valuable perspectives. Discover the importance of phonemic…

The current study was designed to investigate how varied time of day (ToD) could affect the acquisition of basketball game actions from different video formats. First-year physical education students (i.e., novice practitioners) were quasi-randomly assigned to three experimental conditions: continuous video, macro-segmented video, or…

We use the concept of time-space paths (Gordon, Holland and Lahelma 2000) to explore how young people negotiate manageable educational pathways and experience educational engagement in alternative educational settings. For many young people in alternative settings, tight time-space paths (e.g. attending school on time) led to their disengagement…

Schools start early in the morning all over the world, contrasting with adolescents' late chronotype. Interestingly, lower academic performance (i.e. grades or qualifications) was associated with later chronotypes. However, it is unclear whether it is a direct effect of chronotype or because students attend school too early to perform at their…

This article recommends institutional changes to higher education related to time, learning, and risk that would better serve the contemporary student population and increase opportunities for life-long and interdisciplinary learning. To begin, the changing demographic of university students will be outlined, along with suggestions about how…

Participation in adult learning and education requires the availability of, and accessibility to, learning opportunities provided by educational institutions. One fundamental element is time. Adult learning and education participation can only be realized by successfully matching individual time-availabilities with the temporal organization of…

Background and Purpose: Sleep is an important determinant of health in adolescence, but many adolescents around the world are sleep-deprived. Compared to children and adults, getting enough sleep is especially challenging for adolescents due to the natural alteration of circadian rhythms that govern sleep-wake cycles. The delayed circadian rhythm…
