Quality MOOCs (massive open online courses) ensure open learning under the top-down guidance of established criteria and standards. With an evaluative approach, course providers can use the guiding frameworks in designing and refining courses while fostering students' targeted open learning competency. This study explores the openness embedded…

Parents of individuals with disabilities face many challenges in accessing appropriate school services for their offspring. While advocacy programs are becoming increasingly common, little is known about the nature of parent advocacy including its related constructs. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between motivation,…

Contextualisation in mathematics offers a solution for bridging mathematical concepts with the real world. However, the limited attention given to cultural elements raises the question of whether these contexts are truly relevant to students' lives. Furthermore, the restricted implementation of cultural integration in mathematics teaching only…

Participants (N = 226; M[subscript age] = 27.2) completed questionnaires about their care history, attitudes toward non-parental care and maternal employment, their preference for working from home, and demographic characteristics.

The study's objectives are twofold: first, to validate the precision, balance, clarity, comparability,…

Unlike adults, young children think that many weird and unlikely events are impossible. Existing theories have argued that this developmental shift is driven primarily by age-related changes in knowledge as well as an increasing ability to reflect on one's modal intuitions. However, this intuition + reflection model fails to explain…

A "whole university approach" has been recommended for addressing concerns about the wellbeing of UK university lecturers and students. Previously, staff wellbeing has been explored from staff perspectives. Student wellbeing has been explored from the perspectives of both students and staff. However, little research has been conducted on…

The paper offers an innovative exploration of the mediating role of psychological capital (PsyCap) in the relations between future orientation and self-advocacy among high-functioning adults on the autism spectrum. We posited that PsyCap, a composite of hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism, serves as a crucial mediator of future…

The need for design solutions in shaping individual, societal, and planetary health and wellbeing becomes more visible every day due to complex and multi-dimensional societal and environmental transformations. Thus, 'design for health and wellbeing' has begun to be considered separately as an area itself and this is currently resonating in design…

Although students often acknowledge the importance of feedback, they generally struggle to engage with it and act upon it. Specific pedagogical factors, such as poorly structured feedback, unsuitable tone, and weak educator-student relationships, can impede effective utilisation of feedback. Students also exhibit varying degrees of comprehension,…

This study examines how students' digital distractions relate to instructors' negative pedagogical behaviors, such as withdrawal and punitive grading, through the perspective of social exchange theory. This study involved 549 instructors who completed self-report questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were…

This qualitative research article examines the role of an outgoing superintendent in supporting leadership transition within a rural school district. Emerging from a dissertation case study focused on the transition between a long-serving superintendent and an incoming superintendent, the study explores how leadership behaviors exhibited during…

This study explored young children's perceptions of engineers and engineering through their drawings and narratives. Twenty-six children ranging from four-to eight-years-old participated. Results indicated that although children in this group had limited knowledge of engineers and engineering, most of them, regardless of gender, not only drew…
