Guided by Foucault's concept of "discursive formations," the study reported here draws on primary archival and secondary source material to examine how French has been discursively shaped in England and in relation to English. Unpacking sociohistorical constructions of sameness--difference offers a productive frame to explore ideological…

Parental involvement and its various aspects regarding students' education have drawn scholarly attention over the last few decades. Parents from minoritised backgrounds lack opportunities for active participation in their children's education, which, in turn, could prove fruitful for children's academic progress and future social inclusion.

Different from critical literature reviews offering macro-level perspectives on non-native speakerhood/teacherhood traditionally characterized by such terms as native English-speaking teachers and non-native English-speaking teachers (Calafato, Kamhi-Stein, Selvi and Swearingen), this paper adopts a micro-level focus on the provocative question…

We present an alternative to the traditional classroom lecture on the topics of metabolic scaling, allometric relationships between metabolic rate (MR) and body size, and reasons for rejecting Rubner's surface "law," concepts that students have described as challenging, counterintuitive, and/or mathematical. In groups, students work with…

Exclusionary discipline receives considerable scholarly attention, but the concept homogenizes practices that rely on the physical detainment of youth, such as in-school suspension, and practices that do not, such as out-of-school suspension.

The success and sustainability of organisations, particularly universities, rely on various factors, with one of the most significant being student identification with the institution. This identification has a profound influence on a university's long-term viability. When students hold favourable opinions of a university, it tends to increase the…

There has been a great deal of scholarly interest in trying to uncover the factors that account for variation in educational attainment.

Innovative learning environments are educational settings that promote flexibility, and collaboration, thereby necessitating a shift in teachers' mindsets to effectively foster inclusivity in these dynamic spaces. Mindsets are our beliefs about human attributes, including abilities. The article investigates the degree to which in-service teachers,…

This study, grounded in the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory, aims to explore how stimulus factors (school support) influence cognitive organisms (psychological resilience, self-efficacy, attitude toward AI, and acceptance of AI), which in turn enhance behavioral responses (AI literacy), while also examining the detrimental effects of AI…
