This article contributes to the discussion on how transformative and Indigenous paradigms can be incorporated into policy and practice. It shows how these paradigms can be meaningfully integrated into the design and delivery of education programmes to ensure that interventions are not only technically effective but also relational, participatory,…

The field of education urgently needs research, aligned with QuantCrit, to disrupt the racialized overrepresentation [resegregation] of Black and Latinx students in special education. Our concern about how statistics have been (mis)applied motivated us to consider the possibility of quantitative methods for use in educational research that aims to…

Engineering Graphics and Design is a South African school subject which is foundational to fields such as mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering. However, persistent shortcomings in this subject's instruction have been documented in the South African National Senior Certificate examiners' reports over the past decade. These issues stem…

Purpose: To raise authentically creative individuals, it is compulsory to employ contemporary reading methods. Although critical reading, which is the main medium for accessing the right knowledge, is defined as a sub-category for creative reading in which high cognitive processes are involved, the connection between these has not been clearly put…

Today, most high education experts consider value creation (a term different from entrepreneurship or entrepreneur) as a condition necessary for the survival and development of universities and higher education systems. In this era of advanced technologies and knowledge-based industries in global, regional, national and even local economies,…

The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model is a student-centered approach that focuses on a culture of health to support student success. Despite its use, the empirical evidence supporting the model is unclear. We conducted a scoping review to understand the research supporting WSCC as a model for student/school health. The search…

In cognitive diagnostic assessment, multiple fine-grained attributes are measured simultaneously. Attribute hierarchies are considered important structural features of cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) that provide useful information about the nature of attributes. Templin and Bradshaw first introduced a hierarchical diagnostic classification…

Echoing research interests in recent concepts and models of teacher leadership, the focus of existing scales needs to be updated, and their quality needs to be improved. This study summarizes common ground of influential definitions, models, and frameworks for teacher leadership, proposes a six-factor model (association, professional learning,…

Competency is a central concept for human resource management, training and education.

Competencies, and competency referentials grouping competencies, are essential elements for user…

This special issue was designed to facilitate futures-oriented planning, focused on identical, similar, and unique practice and policy priorities. Formal planning aimed at desirable futures is a practical necessity for every helping profession because rapid, sometimes dramatic, societal change continues nonstop. Like all futures-oriented analyses,…

We propose a framework for identifying, organizing, and communicating learning objectives that involve program semantics. In this framework, detailed learning objectives are written down as rules of program behavior (RPBs). RPBs are teacher-facing statements that describe what needs to be learned about the behavior of a specific sort of programs.…

Financial scenario modelling appears to offer the potential to help universities cope with an uncertain funding environment. By means of a questionnaire survey of UK universities, supported by interviews with members of finance departments, this paper explores the prevalence and construction of financial models used for scenario analysis.…

In many democratic societies, schools are expected to prepare their students for participation in democratic societies. (Self)assessment frameworks, designed by scholars and curriculum developers, support the development of school initiated democratic experiences. Existing frameworks, however, are not designed to capture the interplay between the…

Web-based learning systems with adaptive capabilities to personalize content are becoming nowadays a trend in order to offer interactive learning materials to cope with a wide diversity of students attending online education. Learners' interaction and study practice (quizzing, reading, exams) can be analyzed in order to get some insights into the…

Several previous research have described transformational leadership as successful leadership that led higher education to implement changes for the better. However, a more comprehensive survey on the implementation of transformational leadership in higher education has not been conducted. This research aims at observing a transformational…
