Design thinking dispositions are essential for students to understand why design thinking knowledge should be applied to perform specific tasks. However, few studies are focused on teaching design thinking dispositions. This study proposes a conceptual model that supports teaching design thinking dispositions to address this gap. The model was…

Design thinking has emerged as a method for teacher professional learning and development (PLD). Research commonly focusses on PLD responses to specific priorities, particularly STEM, rather than broader applications. This scoping review examines how and why design thinking is used in PLD and discusses the implications for using design thinking as…

Accurate data extraction is a key component of evidence synthesis and critical to valid results. The advent of publicly available large language models (LLMs) has generated interest in these tools for evidence synthesis and created uncertainty about the choice of LLM. We compare the performance of two widely available LLMs (Claude 2 and GPT-4) for…

Meta-analyses play an instrumental role in informing second language (L2) theory and practice. However, current (i.e., classic) approaches to meta-analysis are limited in their ability to do so because they often fail to capture the complexity inherent in primary studies' research designs. As we argue in this article, when complex L2 studies are…

Noise is sound of any kind that is undesirable and unwanted as part of the environment under consideration. It is one of the types of pollution that have great impact on our health and wellbeing. The occurrence of noise in our environment is increasing daily because of growing population and industrialization. Noise pollution have great…

Learn how to build an implementation team that will bridge the implementation gap and prevent the adopt-and-abandon cycle that often comes with change. "Implement With IMPACT" provides a framework with distinct stages and human- and learning-centered design elements to help you achieve quick wins and sustainable, scalable results,…

In the realm of education, there has been an increasing emphasis on developing analytical thinking (AT) in the past few years. This systematic review focuses on an analysis of journal publications that have explored AT within the context of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. This analysis investigated four primary…

The purpose of this content analysis was to examine the use of theory in school-counselor-led interventions. Specifically, we examined intervention characteristics, evaluation design, and use of theory in school-counselor-led intervention studies that were published by the American Counseling Association, the American School Counselor Association…

The value introduced by informed teaching practices on Design for Social Inclusion is becoming widely accepted by many Design programmes worldwide, though students frequently struggle to propose novel concepts and design ideas from which to develop inclusive solutions. Both teachers and students often employ stereotyped concepts that ultimately…

This study focuses on the role of visual resources in constructing the brand identity of Chinese universities. By drawing on the theoretical concept of corporate visual identity (CVI), this study analyzed universities' logos and typography of names from the social semiotic approach. Nine elite Chinese universities were selected as the corpus to…

Evaluation designs seek to provide evidence of impact and collect formative data to understand and improve programs and inform decisions. Formative data is commonly used at the onset of developing a new program to modify and improve before full implementation. However, formative data is often collected throughout the life of the program to shape…

Social withdrawal has been a topic of interest in the field of developmental psychology for many decades. However, researchers have yet to systematically examine the historical trends in social withdrawal research. To honor the 70th anniversary of "Merrill-Palmer Quarterly," this systematic scoping review maps the changes in social…

The concepts of technical feeling, perception, awareness, experience, consciousness and memory play a prominent role in those analogical moments within the technical aspect deriving from the sensitive dimension of our experience. These notions involve subjective technical sensitivities and feelings, belonging to the factual side of the technical…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, yet its integration into education remains underutilized. This paper advocates for embedding AI tools in curriculum design to personalize learning experiences, address diverse student needs, and equip learners with future-ready skills. By leveraging AI's capabilities, educators can create…

Though online peer assessment is recognized as a critical factor in enhancing learning performance, pedagogical strategies and analysis of students' peer assessment at the group level, rather than the individual level, are underexplored. Online group assessment (OGA) focuses on assessing peer-group work in an online environment. A total of 64…
