A major shift in the research sector has been the increased expectation from policymakers and funders that academic research should yield some socioeconomic benefits or 'impacts' rather than merely new knowledge. In this paper, we explore the role that impact has in academics' motivations and values and how impact is being integrated into…

Mindset is generally conceptualized as a stable trait, but recent research suggests that the social context may play a pivotal role in its development and adjustment (de Ruiter & Thomaes, 2023; King, 2020); Lou & Li, 2023). Empirical investigations have primarily focused on the social context of teachers and peers with less attention to…

Preschool pre-service teachers need to be prepared for the age of artificial intelligence (AI) as part of the teaching force; however, much research is still needed in this area. This study aimed to explore the structural relationships in pre-service preschool teachers' perceived AI readiness, focusing on AI literacy, AI anxiety, AI confidence and…

This study investigates the nature of co-construction in roleplays conducted with human versus AI interlocutors for assessing interactional competence (IC) in L2 English. Seventy-five university students in Japan completed roleplay tasks with both human tutors and an AI agent. The AI agent is a multimodal dialog system integrated with a large…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed various educational domains, including engineering education. Despite AI's growing prevalence, limited research has explored the determinants influencing engineering students' acceptance of AI. This study investigates the factors shaping AI acceptance among…

The growing presence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools in academic writing has raised questions about their role in supporting students' development as writers. While existing research has explored the capabilities and limitations of GAI, there is a notable gap in understanding students' perspectives on its use. This study…

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies especially generative AI (GenAI) are promising to support the digital transformation of education system. This study investigates how university students and research scholars across Science, Social Science, and Technology disciplines utilise AI technologies for tasks such as…

Cognitive-achievement relations research suggests that cognitive abilities are instrumental for academic skill development. This study examined cognitive-achievement relations with the newly revised Woodcock-Johnson V (WJ V) standardization sample across the lifespan (ages 6-90+) for reading, writing, and mathematics using multi-group structural…

There has been growing interest in the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in language education. However, little research has explored its application in pronunciation instruction. To address this gap, this qualitative study investigates Vietnamese secondary school English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' beliefs about AI integration…

Conducted annually since 1969, the "PDK Poll on Public Attitudes Toward Public Education" (formerly the Gallup/PDK Poll) delves into a range of education-related topics. The 2025 poll shows a small loss in confidence in the public schools, alongside strong support for career and technical education programs, addressing teacher shortages,…

Despite the increasing integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education, a significant research gap exists in its comparative effectiveness against traditional instructor-led guidance in specialized humanities like philology. This quasi-experimental study compares an experimental group (EG, n = 26), using GenAI chatbots for…

This study provides the first analyses connecting individual differences in infant attention to reading achievement through the development of executive functioning (EF) in infancy and early childhood. Five-month-old infants observed a video, and peak look duration and shift rate were video coded and assessed. At 10 months, as well as 3, 4, and…

School psychologists use intelligence and academic achievement test scores to understand individual differences in abilities that may be directed towards learning and the learning that has already occurred. To make ethical and effective decisions regarding individualized educational programs and interventions, test users must understand the…

This chapter reviews the current literature on mental toughness and emotional intelligence to develop an understanding of how they may be interrelated.

Brian Simon (1915-2002), a Marxist historian and educationist in Britain, was a leading pioneer in the comprehensive education movement. Although Simon's great contribution to this movement has been recognised by historians, the development of Simon's ideas and his actions in this movement have hardly been examined in great depth by previous…
