Hospital teachers face unique challenges and require specific skills to cope with the demands of teaching within a hospital setting effectively. Additionally, the quality of education in hospital schools (HS) may be affected by factors such as resource availability and coordination with other professionals. This initial study examined the factors…

This paper examines inequality among children, demonstrating its gradual emergence within the folds of daily routines in early childhood education (ECE). Employing Rob Nixon's (2011) concept of slow violence, our focus is on the cumulative impact of practices involving exclusion. Synthesizing Nixon's framework with Deleuze (1994) and Guattari's…

This study explores the challenges faced by tertiary education instructors in teaching thermodynamics, with a specific focus on entropy. This study completes and adds to the current literature by providing self-reported perceptions of difficulty by teachers, which is lacking, compared to students' opinions, in this area of research. Through a…

Purpose: This article is based on the hypothesis that distributed and ecological leadership by the school institution and agents involved contributes to the creation, further development and sustainability of learning ecosystems. With this premise in mind, the main research question was: What are the main dimensions for developing learning…

The integration of computational thinking (CT) into school curricula highlights its importance in preparing students for future success. Despite its recognised importance, there is a lack of understanding about effective CT teaching methods, particularly at primary and elementary levels. Previous studies highlight how teachers' beliefs in their…

Attending school does not necessarily lead to learning. In the classroom, quality of teaching is one of the most significant factors in determining pupil outcomes. Structured pedagogy programmes are designed to support teaching practice and have led to improved learning outcomes at scale across different contexts including in low-income countries.…

Background/purpose: Ensuring high-quality education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) requires an effective management approach. Total Quality Management (TQM) has been widely recognized as a strategy to enhance educational effectiveness, yet its implementation in pesantren remains underexplored. This study examines teachers' and school…

The purpose of this study was to understand ways in which teachers define student self-assessment, explore teachers' reasons for using or not using student self-assessment, and explicate the beliefs associated with these reasons. Drawing on Ajzen's theory of planned behavior, the authors interviewed seven high school teachers and explored the…

The use of digital tools for second and foreign language lexical learning is increasingly popular and research in this area is constantly expanding.

Design/methodology/approach: A quasi-experimental design is employed to gather data from 245 4th-year undergraduate students studying…

From the sustainability paradigm, schools are currently committed to offering inclusive education for everyone. Nonetheless, certain forms of lack of attention to the diversity of needs in some education systems are observed, which imply situations of exclusion and barriers to providing quality education. It is precisely for this reason that the…

Writing is an essential component of scientific activity. As such, it is necessary to develop strategies to provide equitable training opportunities for science writing. In order to provide learners with ways to improve their writing regardless of their language background and/or institutional and departmental environments, this article describes…

Background: In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to reflect holistically on the experiences gained in the past few years. We thus review research on remote mathematics teaching in Pre-K-12 contexts, utilising Activity Theory as a theoretical lens for research synthesis. Objectives: Drawing from a comprehensive overview of the…
