Free listing tasks are a common data collection method used by cultural anthropologists, language historians and linguists (Nolan, 2002; Ryan et al., 2000; Weller & Romney, 1988; Wolfram & Schillings-Estes, 1998). These tasks are interviews in which a researcher asks groups of respondents to list words or expressions that come to mind for…

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in education, yet its cultural impact, especially in Southeast Asian mathematics education, remains underexplored. This gap is significant because understanding cultural adaptation is essential for AI tools to effectively enhance learning in diverse classrooms. This study examines how AI…

Background/purpose: This study utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) to improve the intercultural literacy of foreign students communicating in Indonesia through the integration of technology and local wisdom. By integrating AI and AR, a digital book is developed for Indonesian Language for Foreign Students (in…

This qualitative study investigates how Vietnamese English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers at different career stages regulate their emotions in classroom settings, examining how these strategies are shaped by intercultural dynamics and the emotional demands of the profession. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with nine teachers (i.e.,…

The Science of Learning (SoL) is the culmination of interdisciplinary research and knowledge informing effective and inclusive teaching and learning in today's classrooms. Harnessing this knowledge is likely to improve educational outcomes, especially for students with learning disabilities who experience the greatest barriers in developing the…

Worldwide interest in Lesson Study (LS) and the opportunities offered for student learning through the use of a Structured Problem-Solving Approach (SPSA), as typically adopted in Japanese LS research lessons in mathematics, have left largely unanswered questions about the extent to which these can be replicated elsewhere. This paper presents a…

Campus crisis management remains an understudied topic in the context of COVID-affected higher education. In this paper, we contrasted the ability to tame the wicked problems brought by the pandemic of COVID-19 in private and public universities in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Colombia, India, Kazakhstan, Uganda, and Ukraine. The cross-country analysis…

Studies in the field of science education have discussed using historical approaches. Although previous studies have shown the potential advantages to addressing national sciences in the classroom in countries underrepresented in the history of science, there are still few initiatives in this direction. Thus, this paper aims to explore a…

Research from the interdisciplinary "science of learning" indicates that children learn best when they are actively engaged in learning that is meaningful, socially interactive, iterative, and joyful. These principles coalesce in active playful learning, especially "guided play." This active, playful pedagogy enhances learning…

Diversity in cultures, languages and identities is a valuable resource in urban education. There is empirical evidence to support this assertion in the existing literature on "funds of knowledge" and "funds of identity." However, the main focus of such research is on the tacit knowledge, skills, and resources that students--and…

This dissertation explored the aspect of Indigeneity as a significant consideration in English Language Teaching (ELT); and thus makes a critical contribution to the literature in ELT/TESOL and applied linguistics. This body of knowledge benefits from privileging Indigenous ways and Indigenous knowledge in research practices, making explicit…

Learning does not occur through one-way lecturing. Rather, it occurs through reciprocal interactions. This means that a student's response to a teacher's guidance is critical in their learning. Moreover, it has been known that student learning can be influenced by school mean SES (socioeconomic status) insofar as it impacts the shared learning…

Multicultural plagiarism is a challenge for the online educator in North America that continues to grow as students enroll from more countries. In not recognizing the "why" and "how" of multicultural plagiarism there can be an immediate reaction to say "You are wrong!" or "You plagiarized!" While on the…

To date, studies that investigate lexical overlap in signed languages have mainly considered the relationships between deaf community signed languages. The alternate sign languages of Indigenous Australia provide an opportunity to take another perspective -- they are perhaps amongst the oldest known sign languages in the world, their main users…

Education in its essential meaning should beget a civilized and socio-emotionally intelligent, competent mindset in its stakeholders. However, this seems an ideal situation which is impractical owing to several conditions and constraints that impede the implementation of holistic education. Pedagogical practices initially relied on rote learning…
