Based on a sample of 264 employees from Chinese companies, this study used SPSS 26.0 and MPLUS 8.3 to examine the hypotheses. Empirical…

This article presents the PTSI (Person x Task x Situation Interaction) theory of creativity. The theory deals with the creative person, the deployment of creativity in tasks, the ecological context in which this deployment takes place, and the types of creative products that result. The theory draws upon a wide range of previous work. The article…

Item parameter estimation using an item response theory (IRT) model with fixed ability estimates is useful in equating with small samples on anchor items. The current study explores the impact of three ability estimation methods (weighted likelihood estimation [WLE], maximum a posteriori [MAP], and posterior ability distribution estimation [PST])…

Narratives that dominant the discourse of the experiences of people of color, specifically in education settings, are incomplete. Therefore, identifying methodological approaches that emphasize the perspectives of minoritized groups is essential. Counternarratives have been applied to help (re)tell stories of the oppressed to challenge dominant…

Early childhood is characterized by rapid increases in both motor skills and executive function skills. Rather than simply codeveloping, the development of motor and executive function skills may be linked causally. In this article, we introduce corticomuscular coherence as a paradigm for psychologists interested in testing mechanistic questions…

Since Bunker and Thorpe (1982. A model for the teaching of games in secondary schools. "Bulletin of Physical Education," 18(1), 5-8.) introduced Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU), there has been a growing recognition of advocating approaches to pedagogy that addresses participant learning with games-based approaches (GBA)…

In contemporary societies, the processes of transindividuation by which knowledges are transformed into cycles and rhythms of metastability have been dramatically short-circuited. In turn, this has provoked the spiritual misery and pseudo-fabulations so prevalent all around us, including our educational contexts. For Stiegler, this is nothing…

In this activity, we present Latina/x critical communication theory, a model of theorizing that argues for centralizing Latina/xs into communication studies in an empowering, liberatory approach that promotes awareness of social justice and critical thinking. We then feature a pedagogical activity that allows students a foundation for…

Research on inclusive education has gained major importance over the last decade. However, in the English-speaking discourse, empirical studies on inclusive teaching and learning often lack connections to existing educational theories that focus on the interrelation of teachers, learners and content as the three focal points of teaching and…

Practice-based research (PBR) has emerged as a valuable alternative to traditional scientific methods by generating knowledge through practice and enhancing the relevance of research to practitioners. However, knowledge about PBR has largely been developed within disciplinary silos, leading to its limited cross-disciplinary understanding. This…

This cross-sectional study investigated the efficacy of an extended theory of planned behavior in predicting academic dishonesty among students of higher education. The participants comprised 328 undergraduates drawn from Nigerian and Malaysian public universities. Existing measures were adapted and validated using Cronbach's alpha statistics and…

According to Paulo Freire's Banking Concept of Education schools are reproduction areas of oppression and being oppressed relationship. Banking Concept of Education is an education mentality of giving roles to people, prohibiting quitting the roles, being far away from freedom, and filling information in students' brains. By this way, students…

Knowledge tracing (KT) models predict how students will perform on future interactions, given a sequence of prior responses. Modern approaches to KT leverage "deep learning" techniques to produce more accurate predictions, potentially making personalized learning paths more efficacious for learners. Many papers on the topic of KT focus…

This exploratory study examined potential bias within holistic master's admissions processes through interviews with multiple admissions professionals located in New England. Data analysis revealed three overarching themes within the professional experience that follow critical race theory's five tenets (Hiraldo 2010). These themes are:…

In particular, the article focuses on how fascist media centers on the construction of the…
