The Red Queen effect takes its name from a scene in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," where Alice and the Red Queen are constantly running, yet remain in the same place relative to one another. In competitive ecosystems, this translates to the idea that, "in order to survive, a technology solution must evolve faster just…

This study examines the efficacy of a redesigned induction session to enhance and sustain student connectedness, addressing ongoing concerns relating to student isolation. We socially engineered the group formation process prior to students undertaking a group activity at undergraduate business induction sessions. The intention of the activity was…

The rapid and continuing acceleration of digital transformation in education, propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, has underscored the urgent need to examine how teachers adapt to and integrate digital tools in their teaching practices. Anchored in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as its theoretical framework, this study uniquely uses a…

This paper expands the political liberal case for 'education for justice' to include climate justice education. It begins with the case for empowering and motivating learners to promote institutions for basic global and institutional justice. Beyond this, three challenges emerge. Firstly, the political liberal model is premised on free and equal…

Recent calls by legislators to exclude "divisive concepts" and histories from our curricula pose a challenge to the development of students' epistemic responsibility and agency in classrooms. In this paper, Martha Perez-Mugg examines the classroom as a space for the development of epistemic responsibility, ultimately suggesting that…

Those pursuing a career in physical education must possess a range of competencies, including movement and coordination. The attitudes of those engaged in or preparing to engage in the teaching profession can be influenced by several factors. Within the mentioned, the present study aims to ascertain the extent to which the professional attitudes…

This article examines the dynamics of friction and tension in contemporary dance, focusing on the precarious working conditions within the Flemish dance sector. Recent studies have highlighted how such conditions often foster unspoken tensions and perpetuate a culture of silencing. In particular, high-profile cases in the Flemish arts have…

Introduction: Family and school environments are pivotal in adolescent development. However, the simultaneous examination of adversities in both domains remains understudied. Based on bioecological and spillover theories, this study aimed to bridge this research gap by using latent profile analysis to identify distinct patterns of family adversity…

University campuses are important places of cultural, intellectual, and economic capital, making significant contributions to their surrounding communities. As institutions seek to navigate changing expectations for university teaching, learning, research and impact, an exploration of the interface of individual experience and the campus…

Learning space has expanded to spaces outside the traditional classroom, such as public transport, cafés, or parks, where students can easily engage in learning activities. In order to understand whether students use classrooms outside class time, where their learning takes place, why, when, and with whom, students' experiences should be at the…

Purpose: Parenting has implications for psychosocial adjustment well into adulthood. While much is known about the parenting behaviors that influence adjustment in autistic children, little is known about how the effects of parenting persist in autistic adults. Further, autistic adults' perspectives on how they were parented have not been…

A research model based on the presage-process-product theoretical framework was constructed to explore the relationship between STEM learning self-efficacy, perception of challenging learning environments, goal orientation (learning goal orientation and performance goal orientation), and entrepreneurial self-efficacy in students. Data were…

Background: The demand for engineers in the workforce continues to rise, which requires increased retention and degree completion at the undergraduate level. Engineering educators need to better understand opportunities to retain students in engineering majors. A strong sense of belonging in engineering represents one important contributor to…

Executive control (EC) emerges in the first year of life, with the ability to inhibit prepotent responses (inhibitory control [IC]) and to flexibly readapt (cognitive flexibility [CF]) steadily improving. Simultaneously, electrophysiological brain activity undergoes profound reconfiguration, which has been linked to individual variability in EC.…

Scientific literacy is the ability that students must have to analyze and apply science concepts in solving everyday life problems. Students' scientific literacy on peatlands can be acquired by students from daily interaction with peatlands, understanding that comes from parents and the community, as well as from learning in the classroom. This…
