This paper presents an empirically grounded conceptual model that positions the principal as the talent developer, who when provided mentorship on how to strategically scaffold their teachers, will improve their own self-efficacy and competencies to provide better administrative support. Not only will this mentorship decrease their feelings of…

Despite increasing attention towards education as a quality measure for correctional services, little research attention has been paid to the qualification and training of prison officers. This article investigates how Norwegian prison officers understand their own professionalism and opportunities for professional development in their occupation.…

In recent years, scholarship on international student mobility (ISM) has proliferated across various social science disciplines. Of late, an interest in the "ethics" and "politics" of ISM seems to be emerging, as more scholars begin to consider critically questions about rights, responsibility, justice, equality, and so forth…

In this paper, I argue that current arrangements for school-to-work transitions support in England, now school-based, are designed to contribute towards ensuring the consent of the population for what I refer to as the 'state of insecurity' (Lorey, 2015): the neoliberal relationship between the individual and the state in which insecurity is…

In this sense, the improvements to be made for all the dimensions in the scale highlight the importance of this study to determine the problems students will encounter during their school life and to reflect these experiences to students or athletes after graduation. Quality of school life can be considered as an indicator of students'…

The under-representation of women in senior echelons of the academy is well-documented internationally. In the Irish context, the issue of gender equality has reached the active policy agenda relatively recently, largely triggered by a number of high profile lawsuits and the subsequent setting up of an expert review panel and a gender equality…

Studies often highlight how standardisation and consent are manufactured through the European Bologna Process (Brøgger 2019; Gibbs et al. 2014; Lawn and Grek 2012). This article shows how students' conduct is still governed by multiple logics and dilemmas. The context for the article is the Bologna Process and the way it has been applied by the…

Over the last several decades, universities around the world have initiated processes of internationalization in an effort to respond to the growing influence of globalization and remain leaders in the vastly competitive space of higher education (Helms, Brajkovic, and Struthers 2017; Knight 2012). Universities have focused their…

It has been argued that the transition from adolescence to adulthood has been prolonged in many industrialized countries with many young adults pursuing a higher education degree. Accordingly, Arnett introduced a new life phase "emerging adulthood" in which the transition from education to work is a central event. The current systematic…

This action research explores how to develop a sense of belonging during an atypical transition to a new school with a group of young people in state care and a group of adults from a small multi-disciplinary team working with schools to raise educational attainment of children in care. Appreciative inquiry was employed to gather participants'…

This paper, based on 100 in-depth interviews conducted in Poland and another 40 in Slovakia, analyses life trajectories of foreign-born scholars who decided to pursue careers in Central Europe. Their narratives are very different from the regular "linear" careers reported in the studies focused on academic profession, which usually start…

With the increasing popularity and importance of globalization issues, "global mobility" has become one of the important education policies of Taiwan's higher education. Many universities have actively applied "Shuei-Hai-Fei-Yan" and "Shuei-Hai-Shi-Jhu" programs to follow the trend of globalization and arrange…

Evidence is clear that beginning in utero, children are constantly learning. Research shows enrollment in early childhood education programs before kindergarten increases school readiness and ensures children are on track with their peers. Quality early childhood education sets young children up for successful entry into school and careers.…

England currently faces a shortage of teachers, in part due to declining retention. Research suggests that one important influence on teachers' decisions about whether to leave teaching is the quality of working conditions in their school. Understanding which specific aspects of working conditions have the strongest relationship with retention…

In this study, internal marketing and turnover intention were discussed, and the effect of internal marketing on physical education and sports teachers' turnover intentions. The internal marketing scale and the turnover intention scale, previously developed, were used as data collection tools. In the study, 201 physical education teachers…
