Studies commonly measure the challenges of caring for autistic adolescents and young adults, but scarcely explore the positive aspects of the caregiving experience. This study employed an equal-status concurrent mixed methods approach to quantitatively assess predictors of positive aspects of caregiving and qualitatively examine 174 caregivers'…

The effectiveness of a leadership team is central to the overall effectiveness of the school. Leadership teams that collectively attend to actualizing instructional goals, building relationships and developing the culture of the school often find success in their efforts (Leithwood et al., 2020). However, some leadership teams struggle to develop…

Professional learning communities are essential for school success, and principal leadership is crucial for teachers' participation in them. Based on social exchange theory and ambidextrous leadership theory, this study explored the mediating role of teachers' trust in principals between moral leadership and professional learning communities and…

Online discussion forums are crucial educational tools that facilitate interaction between students and teachers. We created an online discussion forum, with the teacher serving as the moderator. 58 posts and 1,955 comments were collected. We analysed these data through Latent Dirichlet Allocation to determine word cooccurrence and extract key…

This study aimed to explore family relationships from the perspectives of children within the social context of China. The study primarily utilised kinetic family drawing (KFD), which reflects a child's psychological state and family interactions, alongside the questionnaire and interview, to examine children's perspectives on family…

Staff-student partnerships have become increasingly popular in educational spaces. Although staff-student partnerships have been shown to improve the inclusivity of assessment practices and increase curriculum engagement among underprivileged student partners, student partners still face barriers to access and face challenges when engaging in such…

This study investigated the bidirectional associations between teacher and parent autonomy support and adolescents' academic motivation in mathematics. A total of 2317 secondary students (49.10% female; M[subscript age] = 14.07 years) completed the same survey twice within a year. Using bifactor exploratory structural equation modelling to specify…

Since its founding in 1979, one of the U.S. Department of Education's primary missions has been to promote civil debate about the condition of our schools and colleges. Our past secretaries of education -- 12 of them in all -- have recognized that they have important rhetorical responsibilities, not only to call attention to the urgent educational…

In this study we aimed to understand teaching mathematics through problem posing based on an analysis of 22 teaching cases. Teaching mathematics through problem posing starts with problem-posing tasks. This study provides not only specific examples of problem-posing tasks used in classrooms but also related task variables to consider when…

This paper offers some thoughts in response to René Arcilla's stimulating new book on road movie philosophy. I consider the book's case for separating the "educare" and "educere" functions of education from one another by examining the teacherly role of the child in Wim Wenders' films. I then reflect on the nature of train…

The concept of self-directed learning grew out of the adult learning field and scholars highlight the need to examine how self-directed learning competence can be fostered during childhood. However, there are very few…

Existing research on digital inclusion has shown that older adults (65+) are, in general, less digitally skilled than other age groups. While older adults can gain digital skills through 'cold' (formal) training by ICT instructors or through 'warm' (informal) support from family and friends, studies have suggested that formal training is more…

There is increasing concern about the ways in which neoliberalism is impacting Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), particularly in relation to infants and toddlers. The neoliberal agenda positions the outdoors as risky and a place to be physically active, potentially excluding the youngest children from these spaces. Drawing upon case study…
