Strategies to improve executive function that rely on external structures to help students successfully plan and complete tasks at school will not achieve the same outcome as would develop if these structures were combined with authentic experiences that require careful planning by individuals for themselves and their community. If the goal of…

As advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) become increasingly integrated into Higher Education (HE) learning spaces, these environments adapt to changing technologies and goals of educators and learners. As such, designing learning spaces requires HE researchers to imagine future learning spaces. In this article, we present a…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, questions abounded about how best to support children during the 'new normal' where homes, often instead of schools, were identified as the usual sites of learning. Educational research has explored the impact of COVID-19 on schools, education and learning, and childhood studies research has shown the impact on…

This study explores the possibilities of using digitally produced multimodal language learning histories (MLLHs) to understand the experiences of learning a second language (L2) of a group of university students in Japan (N = 21). The study observes that learners' MLLHs are texts in which the visual elements of language, place, person, learning…

Responses were compared for 865 participants. Findings: This study…

The Community of Inquiry framework (Garrison et al., 2000, 2010) is well researched within the higher education field but is only beginning to be studied within a K-12 context. In this study, all high school online learners and teachers were sent a survey to ask about their online learning and teaching experiences, framed around Garrison et al.'s…

Research indicates facilitated debriefing is more effective than non-facilitated debriefing. However, limited published work on this topic exists within communication sciences and disorders. This study investigates speech-language pathology clinical simulation experiences examining formative assessment of debriefing sessions. Two groups of…

The COVID-19 pandemic affected and continues to modify students' social life and as a result may impact their long-term development. This study is a part of a larger research project focused on the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on university students. For this manuscript, we employed content analysis to analyze 1,327 quotes…

COVID-19 dramatically influenced students' and staff's learning and teaching experiences and approaches to learning. While many papers examined individual experiences in the context of higher education, synthesising these papers to determine enabling and hindering influences of digital adaptation was needed to guide the next phase of online…

Standardized patient encounters are being utilized more often in occupational therapy education as a replacement for traditional fieldwork. While there is a growing body of research to support the use of this model in developing student skillsets and confidence, there remains limited information on the topic, and no studies which look at its use…

The purpose of this paper is to offer multi-dimensional insight into notions of value sought by Chinese international students (CIS), the UK higher education sectors largest overseas student body. Value in the context of student recruitment is often discussed one dimensionally, often as an input-output calculation. Following calls for higher…
