This book aims to fully demonstrate the burnout of learners in online learning processes. The authors propose a series of feasible and reliable solutions to sufficiently obtain and analyze massive instances of online learning behavior. In order to flexibly perceive and intervene in the "burnout state" and improve online learning…

This study aims to explore parents' views and concerns regarding the teaching of politics and the inclusion of politically controversial issues in schools. We employed an exploratory sequential design and a mixed-methods approach in this study. Initially, we conducted indepth interviews with 12 parents to explore their perspectives on teaching…

Higher education study has become more accessible to rural places through the development of stronger technologies, interfaces and pedagogy for online study. However, while these have made higher education more accessible, they also overlook the substantial impact that social circumstances and resources have on the means to meaningfully…

Objective: The current math course-taking plan for U.S. high school students is not optimized for all, with advanced math course participation skewed toward White and Asian students and varying across schools due to resources and policies (Dalton et al., 2007; Byun et al., 2015). These disparities widen achievement gaps and reduce STEM diversity.…

With the development of mobile Internet and digital technologies, online education platforms transcend time and space constraints to provide ubiquitous learning environments. However, high dropout rates and low pass rates pose a great challenge. Predicting student performance enables early identification of academic failure tendencies,…

Predicting learner actions and intentions is crucial for providing personalized real-time support and early intervention in programming education. This approach enables proactive, context-aware assistance that is difficult for human instructors to deliver by foreseeing signs of potential struggles and misconceptions, or by inferring a learner's…

Purpose: This paper explores the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, focusing on how GenAI can dynamically personalize online learning environments. The study aims to examine how GenAI can enhance social, cognitive and teaching presence, thus meeting the diverse needs of…

Reacting directly to the fact that even the best syllabus is worthless to the student who does not read it, this essay draws inspiration from research of the past decade, especially from the learning-focused syllabus concept that was introduced by three researchers at the University of Virginia, and uses a questionnaire to gauge our community…

In 2018, the high-school graduation rate in Newburgh, New York, climbed to 78 percent, up from 66 percent just five years earlier. Central to this success was Newburgh's use of online credit-recovery classes. For decades, high-school students who failed a required class were presented with two unappealing options: either repeat the course next…

Objective: Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) reduces anxiety among undergraduate students; however, there is limited evidence demonstrating mechanistic underpinnings. Theoretical models implicate cognitive self-regulation as a mechanism. This study explored whether an adapted MBSR embedded in a college course reduced anxiety and if…

In this collaborative professor-student contribution, an experiential nature-based university psychology course is described and discussed. Existing scholarship on experiential environmental education informed the course, with the overall aim of educating the "whole student". Experiential environmental education has been identified as…

The most important learning objective in green chemistry education is the ability to identify the synthesis, process, or chemical that is least environmentally harmful. Existing metrics fall short for different reasons. Mass-based metrics fail to assess environmental harm, while life cycle assessment (LCA) is much too complex to insert into the…

This case study investigates aspiring school leaders' perception of political literacy in educational leadership, offering critical recommendations for principal preparation programs, policymakers, and future research. As a qualitative study, the case addresses integrating political literacy policy, developing relevant professional development…

Using mathematics to understand our world and combat injustices is particularly important in this era of increasing inequality and political polarization. This article reports on research conducted on the first assignment in a social justice module implemented in secondary mathematics methods courses. The assignment served as a formative…

For decades, mastery ambitions related to processes like problem-solving, modelling, and reasoning have been incorporated in mathematics curricula around the world. Meanwhile, such ambitions are hindered by syllabusism, a term I use to denote a conviction that results in mastery of a subject being equated with proficiency in a specific subject…
