The article describes the main types of mental information processing in the context of a systematic structural method. The author analyses the semantic theories of information. The author reviews the mechanisms of information processing and its qualitative properties. The article describes the mechanism of textual presupposition accommodation.

The analysis of sequence data poses a great challenge; existing methods for the comparison of sequences take what theoretical grounding they have from other fields (most importantly, genetics). We argue that set theory provides a way of establishing the relations between sequences that has a natural application to the case in which the sequences…

John Dewey's lifelong quest for a worthy education was characterized by a fervor for collapsing false dualisms. One such dualism -- that between traditional and progressive education -- led him to embrace a vision of the teacher as interpreter and guide of the student. Notwithstanding Dewey's emphasis on the salient role of interpretation, there…

This study employed quantitative methods to analyze survey results related to the heutagogical learning preferences of undergraduate students in the United States. Heutagogy, an emerging theory focused on a self-determined and student-led approach, has shown positive benefits associated with 21st-century skills and high-level learning necessary to…

Addressing early career school leader attrition and turnover, education systems assign mentors to ease novice principals' socialization, but results are varied and many mechanisms of this variance are still unexplained. To fill gaps in the literature, different mentor profiles were typified. Fifty-six mentor and mentee interviews were thematically…

A growing body of scholarship foregrounds research-practice partnerships (RPPs) as venues for advancing equity in education. However, few studies focus on partnerships with state education agency leaders, despite their influential roles connecting policy and practice. This article explores state leaders' experiences collaborating in an…

Background: This paper provides insights into 'Policy to Research' (P2R) Fellowships and related programmes within the 'relationship' model of academic-policy engagement, which provide structured opportunities for policy officials to interact with academic researchers. Aims and objectives: Information is provided on P2R Fellowship and similar…

This study investigated Generation Z's (Gen Z) voting intentions regarding CRISPR-related regulation, utilizing the theory of planned behavior as the framework. Understanding the perceptions of CRISPR technology in this demographic is vital as Gen Z increasingly influences consumer behavior and policy decisions. A survey was conducted with…

Project Based Learning (PjBL) has emerged as a promising approach in mathematics education. This study aims to analyze the implementation of project-based learning (PjBL) internationally in mathematics education and to identify the underlying learning theories, such as the method of writing an article through SLR. A systematic literature review…

One of the most important goals in a statistics class is to develop students who are statistically literate and can reason with statistical concepts. The REALI instrument was designed to concurrently assess statistical literacy and reasoning in introductory statistics students. This paper reports a measurement analysis of the statistical literacy…

Materials development is increasingly recognized as a valuable venue for narrowing the research-practice gap. This qualitative case study explores how four middle school teachers and three university researchers collaborated in a community of practice (CoP) to write textbooks by highlighting the interplay between their collaborative relationships…

Human ratings are ubiquitous in creativity research. Yet, the process of rating responses to creativity tasks -- typically several hundred or thousands of responses, per rater -- is often time-consuming and expensive. Planned missing data designs, where raters only rate a subset of the total number of responses, have been recently proposed as one…

This paper considers the consequences of 'The Death of the Author', a short essay by Roland Barthes, for educational thought. Seeking to avoid a co-option of Barthes to the work of educational redemption, Barthes' essay is considered in terms of its more disturbing implications. In particular, the parallel question of 'The Death of the Teacher' is…

Effective educational measurement relies heavily on the curation of well-designed item pools. However, item calibration is time consuming and costly, requiring a sufficient number of respondents to estimate the psychometric properties of items. In this study, we explore the potential of six different large language models (LLMs; GPT-3.5, GPT-4,…

This study shares perspectives on how a teaching-research nexus could be developed in teacher education practices. The focus is on one teacher-educator's experience of learning to communicate the mutuality of teaching and research initiatives with a group of learner-teachers and colleagues during a college-based teacher education course in…
