The high turnover rates of primary and secondary school teachers have become a serious problem in many countries, including China. To date, studies on the relationship between harmonious passion and turnover intention amongst primary and secondary school teachers remain scarce. Based on the conservation of resources theory, this study explored the…

This paper presents a synthesis of research literature concerned with teachers' and school leaders' experiences of workload and work intensification. Forty papers met the inclusion criteria for the research synthesis. From the analysis, we drew out both definitional and experiential accounts. Firstly, while we mostly found a conflation of the…

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare acceleration outputs of the parkour-style "tic tac" action with those of the drop jump and the lay-up shot in youth basketball players. A total of 25 participants (17 boys, 13.80 ± 1.30 years of age; and eight girls, 15.00 ± 0.80 years of age) completed three trials of each action…

The purpose of this article is to introduce readers to a novel curriculum for teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and share appropriate techniques for use in school-based settings.

Career change teachers (CCTs) are heralded in international education policies as key to addressing teacher shortages and increasing quality and diversity in the profession. Using a qualitative approach inspired by Ball's discursive facet of policy enactment, interview responses from 23 Australian teacher educators were examined. The aim was to…

One of the issues at the heart of transfer is the mobility of credits across institutions--moving credits from one institution to another is a crucial process for the transfer pathway to be a viable option. Credit loss is a critical issue for transfer students enrolled in highly sequential degrees, such as engineering. A student could be set back…

Leadership assessment is analysed in 3 investigations: a) a quantitative study carried out with scientists (R&D), where a distinction between chief/leaders (units' director or chief) and subordinate members in academic units of research was made; b) 2 qualitative studies also carried out at the third-level: the first one with PhDs from 4…

The excessive restrictions on the resignation rights of public university teachers, especially high-level talents, have affected the rights and interests of the legal flow of talent. Whether the employment contract can continue to be performed, whether the service period and the liquidated damages clause violate the provisions of the 'Labour…

The research examines the mediating role of the presence of the meaning of life in the relationship between gratitude and hope and whether this relationship differs because of moving to another city after the earthquake and loss. In the study in which the correlational research model was used, the study group consisted of 443 high school students…

The phenomenon of academic endogamy, wherein faculty members obtain all their degrees from and remain at the same institution, has been observed to potentially impact research productivity and international engagement. As prior literature indicates, this trend raises concerns about potential insularity and reduced academic output. However,…

Researchers have long examined teacher attrition, but existing research offers little insight into when attrition shifts from typical and manageable to atypical and harmful. This brief presents descriptive and inferential analyses of longitudinal teacher attrition patterns and proposes benchmarks for school-level attrition that school…

Background: The transition from Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) to the classroom is a critical phase for early-career teachers, influencing not only their instructional practices but also their overall job satisfaction and commitment to the profession. Many teachers, approximately 45%, decide to leave the profession within the first 5 years…

A growing body of research has documented the uneven distribution of teacher quality across and within school districts. This paper focuses on the effect of the seniority-based transfer rules in collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) on teacher sorting. Specifically, as the seniority-preferred transfer rules in CBAs allow the more experienced…

Global student mobility, as a rapid growing phenomenon, has had a major impact on the diversification of the U.S. college student population (Laanan, 2006; Jindal-Snape & Rienties, 2016). There were around 1 million international students in 2021-2022 in U.S. higher education (Open Doors, 2023); these students experience different kinds of…
