This article looks at how institutional peer leadership roles in higher education reproduce social class inequalities. Through an ethnographic case study of Southern African Development Community (SADC) international students studying at Rhodes University in South Africa, I demonstrate how students from privileged class backgrounds possess the…

One of the greatest challenges facing democracies is how to live together with difference. The growth of globalisation and international migration has presented schools with increased opportunities and challenges related to learning from and living with superdiversity. Yet within current policy settings and educational practices, the alignment…

The policy problem of Vocational Education and Training (VET) development is an ongoing challenge for many developing countries. International organisations and donor agencies conceptualise the problem as one of skill supply and demand mismatch. Such a market-based perspective offers important insights into the problem; however, it does not…

In the current article, the authors outline ways for early childhood educators, such as general and special education teachers, district math coaches, and other personnel involved with school- and district-level math initiatives, to engage caregivers in home math activities, with a focus on concepts already taught in school and aligned with…

This dissertation investigates how early career teachers' orientations of students and their mathematical activity, as surfaced their experience in a simulation, can reveal when their well-intentioned decisions might negatively impact traditionally underserved students. Three early career teachers engaged in two online simulations where they could…

In "Liberating the Classroom," Tessa Hicks Peterson shows how universities can transform into places that directly disrupt injustice and work toward personal and collective liberation. Instead of reproducing social inequity, higher education institutions could become engines of healing. This transformation, however, requires a major…

In recent years, a multitude of innovative educational videos focusing on mathematics and employing dynamic visualization techniques have been published on YouTube. From a sample of videos, we develop a taxonomy of didactical roles of dynamic visuals and supporting animation techniques. The taxonomy is constructed through an open coding approach,…

Research has shown that a sense of belonging is predictive of college student success; however, few studies have examined the factors influencing students' sense of belonging in a remote learning setting. This qualitative study sought to examine what influenced students' sense of belonging throughout the period of remote learning during the…

Decades of neoliberal capitalism have had a corrosive effect on public education, with implications for both the fiscal realities of education systems and the ideological values guiding curriculum and pedagogy. While the culture of neoliberalism has often been studied, it is equally important to expand analyses of the shifting material conditions…

Complex eHealth interventions--featuring multiple components within dynamic systems--are used for healthcare improvement. Public-private partnerships (PPPs), combining resources, expertise, and technology, are crucial in this context. Yet, integrating these interventions into practice remains challenging. This study identifies barriers and…

Disordered eating refers to a range of irregular eating behaviors that may or may not warrant a diagnosis of a specific eating disorder. It includes behaviors, such as binge eating, restriction, and purging. Youth with disordered eating often have complex needs and may require psychological support, medical care, and academic accommodations to be…

The U.S. attracts a significant number of international doctoral students each year. As these students navigate cultural and academic systems, understanding their unique experiences and challenges becomes crucial. This study explores the intricate nuances of identity negotiation in the lived experiences of six East Asian international doctoral…

How do teachers decide when and how to help their students if not explicitly asked to do so? Based on conversation analysis of 14 h of video-recorded small group interactions in secondary schools, we discovered that teachers and students orient to subtle actions built through embodied conduct, to decide whether or not assistance is needed. We also…

In the Anglophone jurisdictions, higher education policy is over-determined by economic policy and subjected to neoliberal regulation based on quasi-market competition between corporatised institutions, regulated by performative comparisons, tuition fees, and outputs imagined as commodities. England installed marketisation in successive policy…

This study, using a scriptwriting task, examines how 52 Czech pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) handled a situation in which a fictional pupil's incorrect reasoning resulted in a correct answer. The participants were asked to imagine and provide a script that reflects how the situation could evolve in response to the pupil's incorrect…
