A new epoch for humankind has started in most, if not all sectors of life, including the education sector. The question that seeks to be answered is whether the new period that started with the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic, often referred to as the "new normal", is and will be characterised by less favourable education…

This mixed-method study sought to find specific factors influencing teachers in small, remote, rural school districts to continue teaching or to leave their teaching position.

African American women in educational leadership roles face a myriad of barriers and challenges. Black feminist theory and impostor phenomenon theory offered a potent conceptual lens for understanding the experiences of successful African American women.

Background: Effort measurement is essential for adaptation to interactive learning technologies. Most contemporary technologies measure effort through the log data (reaction time and correctness). Some adaptive technologies use facial expressions and attention to adapt. Objectives: We present a novel, complementary, and multimodal definition of…

There is growing evidence that investment in school facilities, and new school construction in particular, can improve K-12 student outcomes, particularly for low-income students.

Studies have shown how family (typically parents) and formal institutions (specifically schools and universities) shape individuals' dispositions--or "habitus."

This paper offers a small slice of 'autosociobiography': autobiographical reflections which situate these impressions in a wider social context (Ernaux, 2022, Jaquet, 2023, Twellman & Lammers, 2023). These particular autosociobiographical reflections are about my experiences of university, and how they have offered both positive and sometimes…

English is known as a language of domination and hegemony making. But in certain contexts, it can function as a liberatory tool that can be used to overcome hindrances for emancipation and progress. The objective of this paper is to exemplify how Dalits--marginalised and oppressed communities--in India view English as a means of resisting…

Teacher turnover is a perennial concern, especially in low-performing, high-poverty schools. Although districts and schools may try to anticipate and mitigate turnover by surveying teachers about their future plans, existing research on whether teacher-reported intent is predictive of actual turnover behavior is mixed. Using unique survey data…
