Classroom observation is a critical tool for evaluating instructional strategies and their impact on student learning outcomes. This study investigates how implementing systematic problem-solving strategies affects teaching practices, classroom dynamics, and student engagement in Rwandan secondary school physics classrooms. A quasi-experimental…

When considering institutional transformation, assessment is not always the first thought as a key tool for change. Assessment is often framed as a matter of compliance. However, when implemented effectively and intentionally, assessment becomes a powerful tool for continuous improvement. Taking place during the 2025 International Conference on…

Our society is influenced by neoliberalism and new public management, and the education system is no exception. Students are navigating a system characterized by market fundamentalism, resulting in the prevalence of standards-based educational policies and an intense focus on assessments and quality measures, making higher education more of an…

There has been considerable speculation about the risk that new generative AI tools like ChatGPT pose to higher education, particularly assessments and cheating. However it is unclear how much risk the UK higher education sector is exposed to. This survey study used a modified list experiment to evaluate that risk. Most students surveyed were…

As a black South African student from a disadvantaged background, my journey through doctoral studies at a historically white university revealed the complex, simultaneous dynamics of humanising and dehumanising processes within supervisory relationships. This autoethnography examines how supervisory relationships operate within contested…

David Hargreaves' 1996 vision for a research-based teaching profession aimed to integrate robust, evidence-based approaches into educational practice and policy. This critical evaluation examines the extent to which his vision has been realised. In his inaugural lecture for the Teacher Training Agency (TTA), Hargreaves' proposed a profession where…

Although research has studied argumentation in science learning, it is necessary to understand the criteria teachers and students apply to evaluate arguments in the context of classroom production. Researchers have employed Toulmin's argument pattern as the preferred model to analyze arguments. However, the model is unfeasible for people to…

Narrative authors use their imaginations to generate and select content for their writing. Narrative imagination is central to young writers' agency over their choices. However, writing pedagogies have become more formulaic, allowing little room for personal agency, while efforts to teach imagination have fallen by the wayside, regarded as vague,…

Background: In the wake of the initial COVID-19 impact, behavioral issues in U.S. schools have been on the rise (Gewertz, 2023). Identifying evidence-based interventions (EBIs) is critical to ensuring that students receive effective support for these growing concerns. However, traditional methods for evaluating intervention effectiveness remain a…

In the context of growing demands for inclusive and flexible pedagogical practices in higher education, this study explores how university lecturers can transform their teaching through the lens of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Grounded in a pedagogical innovation initiative, this pilot study followed four higher education lecturers over…

As online learning continues to become prevalent in universities, interest grows in how it may impact learning. Emotional prosody (EP), the utilization of acoustic cues embedded in utterances that convey emotion, may be important for online learning. Focusing on the role of EP for online learning, this study examined how EP impacted the learning…

Although the distinction between explicit and implicit (automatized) knowledge of second or foreign language (L2) is of crucial importance to second language acquisition (SLA) theory and research, it has thus far not been directly applied to L2 pronunciation. The paper attempts to fill this gap by making an initial attempt to illustrate the…

In this study I examine Jean-Luc Nancy's interpretation of the biblical scene of Noli me tangere (Touch me not), focusing on the "Do Not Touch" sign in museums. Nancy analyses the scene where Jesus prohibits Mary Magdalene from touching him after the resurrection. I attempt to explore its correlation with the experiential aspect of…

Early critical thinking and sustainability awareness development is crucial for equipping future generations to handle global issues in an increasingly complicated and interconnected society. This study examined how 9-year-old primary school students applied their knowledge through a collaborative Mystery assignment, demonstrating a Thinking Skill…

We propose inviting the body into the university writing process through somatic pedagogical practices. This study investigates an effort to write from our body and through our body in a course where students used the body as a site of creation. Challenging mind-body dualism and the erasure of bodily ways of knowing, students participated in…
