This paper argues that a proper response to the onset of potentially catastrophic human-induced climate change requires an understanding that is both broader and deeper than that which frequently informs current policies and that focusses on technological solutions and some behaviour modification. Such a technologically orientated response is seen…

Introduction: Researchers exploring how coaches can best support the development of their players decision making within team invasion sports have often been conducted from a cognitive or ecological approach, which differ in their views regarding the presence and absence of memory representations. This difference has, in turn, resulted in…

Eye tracking has taken hold in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingualism as a valuable technique for researching cognitive processes, yet a comprehensive picture of reporting practices is still lacking. Our systematic review addressed this gap. We synthesized 145 empirical eye-tracking studies, coding for 58 reporting features and…

We are at a critical moment for assessment in schools. Teachers are called to navigate advances in classroom assessment research, top-down assessment policies, and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on teaching and learning. Embedded in this context are also systemic challenges to teachers' assessment practice. This paper analyses these…

Cultural creative design activity and education involve the application of cultural inspiration. This study examines the impact of cultural inspiration distance and timing on designer' creativity in Targeted Cultural Creative Design Pattern (TCCDP). Four design novice groups attended the cultural product design experiment with a combination of…

Double-scoring constructed-response items is a common but costly practice in mixed-format assessments. This study explored the impacts of Targeted Double-Scoring (TDS) and random double-scoring procedures on the quality of psychometric outcomes, including student achievement estimates, person fit, and student classifications under various…

In learnersourcing, automatic evaluation of student-generated content (SGC) is significant as it streamlines the evaluation process, provides timely feedback, and enhances the objectivity of grading, ultimately supporting more effective and efficient learning outcomes. However, the methods of aggregating students' evaluations of SGC face the…

Critical thinking (CT) is among the core abilities students need to acquire to overcome the unprecedented and ever-changing challenges of the 21st century and beyond. To facilitate the attainment of CT, numerous researchers worldwide have conducted empirical studies focusing on leveraging computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) to improve…

In secondary English classrooms, poetry is often a text that is least liked because it is viewed as being "inaccessible," reserved for the elite, and/or too abstract. Part of the reason for this also lies in the traditional, colonial structures of introducing poetry such as relying on canonical texts and close reading analysis. Yet,…

Despite interest in how students' implicit theories--their growth and fixed mindsets about their own learning--affect students as learners, relatively little research on mindset has looked at "teachers" as learners. This study explores elementary teachers' implicit theories about the malleability of mathematics intelligence and teaching…

Purpose: The advancement of technology has given rise to various ways of processing information and learning. Some of the challenges that hinder the adoption of information communication technologies in teaching include limited resources, infrastructure, and lack of support from the governing bodies of schools. This study aimed to investigate the…

We examine PSTs' work generated in…

This study conducted a comprehensive comparison of Item Response Theory (IRT) linking methods applied to a bifactor model, examining their performance on both multiple choice (MC) and mixed format tests within the common item nonequivalent group design framework. Four distinct multidimensional IRT linking approaches were explored, consisting of…
