Focusing on the academic engagement and its influence mechanism for left-behind children can enhance their autonomy and passion, which is crucial for their future growth. Nevertheless, the factors that impact the academic engagement of left-behind children and the intricate interaction between these factors and their underlying mechanisms remain…

Establishing genuine connections among educators and students is a key element of healthy school environments. These connections are not just surface-level interactions; they are deep, meaningful relationships that reflect educators' commitments to understanding and supporting each student's unique background, strengths, and challenges. This brief…

How teachers relate to their students when they teach can contribute to a deeper and more coherent relational understanding of teaching as an interpersonal profession. This article presents a key indicators' taxonomy of relational teaching. Within the theoretical perspective of teaching called Pedagogical Relational Teachership a taxonomy to…

The success of students is closely tied to their well-being and those students with high degrees of well-being are more likely to excel in academic environments. Accordingly, the internal and external factors that cause positive changes in students' mental states and lead them to higher levels of psychological well-being (PWB) need to be divulged.…

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) has been increasingly recognized as a valuable investment in the contemporary and future development of young children (Thorpe, 2020). Using the framework of the job demands-resources model (JD-R; Bakker et al., 2004), the current study examines the impact of teacher burnout and supervision on the…

Previous studies have reported a negative relationship between adolescents' conflict management skills and their exposure to bullying. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship have not yet been fully clarified. This study examines the role of positive school experiences and trust in teachers in this relationship. The research,…

Eliciting and attending to students' thinking is an important component of teaching mathematics for understanding. Clinical interview protocols have shown the potential to support teachers in developing these skills. However, less is known about how to support teacher leaders' knowledge and development of these skills. Given that teacher leaders…

Within neoliberal regimes of educational performativity, expectations of teachers' work have become increasingly prescriptive, standardised and formulaic. To counter the reductive effects of this 'exteriority' of influence over teachers' work, we draw on three conceptual prompts--"relational pedagogy," "informality," and de…

Anonymous assessment, introduced to higher education over the last twenty-five years to reduce attainment gaps, is a now common place. This paper suggests some ways in which anonymous assessment could be reconceptualised. We argue that there is scant empirical evidence of anonymity having worked in reducing attainment gaps in higher education. It…

Although some literature addresses response in the context of thesis projects, the student perspective remains notably absent from response scholarship. This article brings the students' perspectives into focus by presenting a collaborative account from two thesis students and their advisor. The study explores the advisor-student relationship and…

Introducing knowledge sharing into higher education research and exploring the internal influence mechanism of teacher-student relationship on knowledge sharing of graduate students can provide better guidance and reference for the current stage of higher education knowledge management practice.

What does it mean to feel passionately for the subject one teaches? What does such a passion entail for those involved in the teaching-learning situation?

Coaching teachers is complex work as coaches must navigate multiple and competing roles of expert and colleague. Within mathematics education, there is a lack of research exploring how coaches enact their stance for coaching, balancing the roles of expert and colleague, in ways that best support teacher learning. Furthermore, little is known about…

Inquiries into the medium of education take up a question that has so far usually been answered teleologically or psychologically. The coherence of educational endeavors has been illustrated by their objective, and this again has been illustrated by the changes in the state of the educatees. The difficulty of such an approach is that no educator…
