Civics education is a hot topic, as evidence shows that American young people appear to be losing faith in democracy itself. State education leaders must sort through fervent disputes on what students ought to learn and make good decisions on standards, assessment and accountability, as well as incentives for districts' selection of quality…

The use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools for educational purposes is rapidly becoming widespread. Having a negative attitude may lead to the failure of the integration of these tools. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors that affect students' attitudes towards GenAI tools. In this context, our current study aims to…

This paper makes a novel contribution to international doctoral education scholarship by offering a detailed examination of pre-application doctoral communications (PADC) between prospective applicants and various university staff members. While PADC is currently an under-considered phenomenon within extant research literature, the paper argues…

This study advances mathematical wellbeing (MWB) research by mapping specific pedagogical practices associated with high class-level MWB. Through examining a Year 5 classroom demonstrating high MWB in a sample of 350 classes (4137 students; 160 teachers), the analysis revealed five key pedagogical practices: substantive conversations, challenging…

This Scholarship of Teaching and Learning study evaluates a digital storytelling project that taught students in a university class on youth programming to apply research on youth work to the practice of working with diverse, underserved youth. The study examines the project's learning outcomes, which targeted the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy…

The Partnership for Integration of Computation into Undergraduate Physics (PICUP) was founded in the mid-2010s to assist educators with the challenges of integrating computation into physics curricula. In addition to in-person trainings and hosted educational materials, PICUP uses a Slack Workspace to continue collaboration and discussion…

Feminists have long critiqued an overreliance on traditional assessment practices such as the essay or exam, highlighting that these can reinforce gendered or other hierarchies in education. Feminists have supported calls for a greater diversity of assessment in general, while valorizing reflective forms of assessment in particular. We identify…

In Austria and other European countries, the initial segregation of learners of the language of instruction reflects the dominance of monolingual educational traditions. While prior research has extensively explored principals' and teachers' self-reported strategies for addressing the needs of language of instruction learners, little is known…

This interdisciplinary book explores socially engaged art as a subject of study and its relevance in higher arts education institutions' third mission--giving back to society and engaging with the community--to build a sustainable higher arts education for the future. Drawing on data from two large-scale EU-funded projects--supplemented by…

"Maximising Learning in Physical Education" identifies some key challenges in physical education that impact pupils' learning, looking at how they manifest over time and suggesting possible ways teachers can address them. Each chapter features a real-life case study or a scenario to illustrate a specific challenge and identify some…

Background: Differentiating typical language development (TD) and developmental language disorder (DLD) in a bilingual context is difficult. The societal language is often the only mutual language of the child and the SLT. It has been shown that when assessing second language (L2) performance using tools developed for monolingual children,…

While artificial intelligence in language learning has garnered extensive research attention, the specific roles of motivation and digital literacy (DL) in shaping students' self-regulated language learning within AI remain largely unexplored. Based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this study endeavoured to understand how learning…

Community college and public libraries both serve overlapping populations--including students, job seekers, adult learners, ESL learners, and low-income and underserved communities--playing vital roles in supporting and enriching their local communities. Libraries connect patrons and community members to critical information related to basic needs…

The use of the flipped classroom has increased in the context of learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). However, only a few studies have reported on how to expand flipped classroom instructional strategies in EFL writing classes. Meanwhile, prior studies have examined the effect of self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) on improving…

Saudi undergraduates often struggle with English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking skills, primarily due to a high level of Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE). This study examines the impact of Language Speaking Learning Strategies (LSLS) mediated by the Telegram smartphone application on reducing FNE among preparatory-year students at Najran…
