The purpose of this study was to explore how in-service music educators develop, name, and enact the relational practices of their work in schools while participating in a collaborative teacher study group (CTSG), and specifically how those practices relate to presence. Through a multicase research design, we analysed the practices of three U.S.…

The comprehension and appreciation of poetry are inherently subjective, involving both creativity and aesthetic appeal. However, do these assessments of aesthetics and creativity rely on identical criteria, or do they vary depending on underlying factors? We addressed this question in this study. Participants (N = 96) evaluated 25 English poems…

This study develops an SDG-aligned social impact assessment (SIA) system for five Chulalongkorn University research projects, in Thailand. Employing mixed methods in an exploratory sequential design, the first phase involves qualitative data collection, including focus groups and field studies, to establish the SIA system. The second phase employs…

Teacher empathy is important in reducing students' aggressive behavior, strengthening interpersonal cooperation, and promoting prosocial behavior.

Social media has been shown to be an efficient way to engage in networked participatory scholarship (NPS), which is defined as the use of online social networks to share and further develop scholarship. As leaders in the field, educational technology scholars should be at the forefront of this practice. We used social network analysis (SNA) to…

This collective case study explored the musical lives of second-generation immigrant children in Miami, Florida, USA, to gain greater insight into music's role in the negotiation, construction, and expression of their "identities in music" and "music in identities." Four children between the ages of 8 and 12 who had at least…

Despite the attention devoted to situational and institutional barriers in studying participation in adult education, psychosocial barriers are often overlooked in research. However, low-educated, and non-participating adults are more likely to experience them. In this study, we examine low-educated, both participating and non-participating,…

This paper explores how teacher educators in Norway discursively enact a policy framework for teachers' professional digital competence (PDC) in the context of the digitalisation of education.

Research suggests that the fear of harsh punishment from parents encourages children's antisocial lie-telling as they attempt to avoid the punishment for their transgressions. In contrast, warm and supportive parenting practices foster internalization of moral rules and norms and an ability to resist the temptation, so children have no need to lie…

Drawing on the technology acceptance model (TAM), self-determination theory (SDT), expectation-confirmation model (ECM), and massive open online courses (MOOCs) design effects, the present work introduced a conceptual model for understanding the fine-grained mechanism underlying learner satisfaction and continuance intention. A structural equation…
