Today's schools must respond to the evolving needs of students by adopting new pedagogical models and didactic devices. Information and communication technologies can be useful resources to focus on the learning of each individual student as a dynamic and relational process. Collaborative writing apps facilitate democratic and shared construction…

This case study aims to explore the role of pupils in educational design and what it means to have a say in primary school. Although many educational offers use the slogan 'pupil-centred' approach, examples are scarce in which children are seen as partners, let alone co-designers. It is therefore important to investigate to what extent pupils are…

For more than 2 decades, Karin Hess has worked with the concept of depth of knowledge (DOK) and expanded applications of cognitive rigor across content areas and grade levels, proving that every student can experience deeper learning. This interactive book offers a self-guided journey beginning with the basics: what DOK is, what it is not, and…

Understanding students' emerging roles in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is critical for promoting regulated learning processes and supporting learning at both individual and group levels. However, it has been challenging to disentangle individual performance from group-based deliverables. This study introduces new learning…

This study aims to understand the patterns of conduct, forms of action, role construction, role performance and institutional nexus of behavior that characterize the social role of academics and students in undergraduate Accounting courses through the adoption of active methods for education. A qualitative, multiple case study was developed…

At a time when international student enrollment has been declining at community colleges for more reasons than just the pandemic, this paper attempts to address a gap in the literature to assist community colleges with their enrollment by helping them recruit international students. While there are many suggestions for improving international…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of COVID-19 on doctoral students' personal, professional, and academic roles and factors contributing to their persistence during the pandemic. Research Methods: The researchers engaged in qualitative research at a California State University CPEDinspired Ed.D. program, using…

Both the consumer subjectivity and partnership models are receiving increasing attention within higher education institutions. In this article, I explore the impersonality that characterises the social role of the consumer and its impact on the formation and implementation of meaningful relationships between undergraduates and academics. I draw…

Despite decades of appointments to the board of trustees, little is known about the roles and experiences of students on higher education boards. The focus of the paper centers on the lineage of student members on the University of California (UC) Board of Regents. The authors expand knowledge and understanding of the student trusteeship in higher…

In his high school science classes, author Jonathan Bergmann employs "flipped-mastery learning," an equity-driven method that empowers students to master core material at variable paces and develop skills of self-directed learning. As schools face pandemic-related learning loss, Bergmann streamlines the logistics of an approach that…

The appointment of student governors to the governing board is mandatory in further education (FE) colleges across the UK. There is, however, confusion and lack of clarity over the role of the student governor, and little empirical research, especially involving direct observation, has been undertaken which sheds light on this. This paper examines…

Metacognition is one of the key notions in contemporary research both in second language (L2) teaching and education in general. L2 metacognition has been found to contribute significantly to learner variables such as language learning motivation. The main feature of the findings on L2 metacognition research based on the diverse theoretical…

With the growing interest in student-centered approaches to learning, it becomes important to look at student learning experiences in the self-directed learning environment as students may feel uncomfortable and unprepared for the demands associated with student-centered learning environments (SCLEs). This qualitative study explored student…

This study was designed to explore whether athletic identity, NCAA division level, or sport revenue earnings impact student-athletes' ability to prepare for their career as they transition out of sport. Social identity theory was discussed to examine how identity formation may influence navigating the dual roles of being both a student and an…

Children with special needs may have less access to play due to the nature of their developmental delay or disability or their lack of experience with typically developing peers. Many preschools and kindergartens have reduced play in their daily schedules and elementary schools have reduced or eliminated recess (Jarrett et al., 2015; Zigler &…
