As service designers increasingly deal with complex systems, large-scale and multi-layered transformations and community-based initiatives, design education must evolve to adequately support students in tackling planetary challenges and navigating uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in their practice. This article reports on a qualitative study…

Background: The field of the learning sciences is embroiled in debates about if, how, where, and when to engage equity in the learning sciences. This paper intervenes in this conversation by calling for more explicit and direct approaches to centering equity and justice in the field's practices and research. Methods: This conceptual paper draws on…

Chinese universities face a persistent paradox: Despite substantial investments in R&D and strong knowledge production performance, their socioeconomic impact remains limited. To address this disconnect, we develop a dual-stage efficiency framework distinguishing knowledge production (KPE) from knowledge transformation (KTE) and implement a…

Usually, it is assumed that the printing revolution initiated in Europe by Gutenberg from 1445 was implemented directly and smoothly for the production of mathematics textbooks. This paper undertakes to investigate this process more closely, showing it to form the precondition for ensuing curricular developments. The characteristics of the first…

Modern and Contemporary Physics is an important component of civic education for senior high school students, as topics such as Relativity and Quantum Physics connect with everyday life and foster abstract thinking and critical skills. Yet, these themes are often absent from high school curricula. Among them, Einstein's General Relativity Theory…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the bibliometric indicators of the previous research on education for sustainable development (ESD) and to synthesise the critical outcomes of the most cited publications in the context of the further education (FE) and skills sector. Design/methodology/approach: A mixed-method approach is adopted involving both…

This study investigates the relationship between personality types among second language (L2) learners through a bibliometric analysis. Personality traits, particularly the Big Five, are recognized as key predictors of L2 success. However, despite numerous empirical findings, the strength and nature of these correlations often show significant…

This systematic review aimed to summarize the current evidence on the effectiveness of various psychological behavioural therapies in improving oral hygiene maintenance habits and oral health among children with autism. Independent screening and study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and evaluation of the certainty of evidence…

This case study analyzes the application of parametric and nonparametric statistical analyses with the multiple linear regression model in education and agricultural education research. The fields of education and agricultural education heavily rely on parametric analyses. We questioned the validity of the extensive use of such approaches after…

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has led to a surge in research on teachers' adoption of these technologies. However, there is a noticeable lack of comprehensive reviews synthesizing the current state of research on this topic. This study addresses this gap by systematically reviewing 33 studies published since…

Background/purpose: This article presents partial results of a document review that constitutes a key input for the doctoral thesis in Didactics of Science entitled "Model of teacher professional development for the inclusive teaching of chemistry in the academic middle school, mediated by artificial intelligence", developed at the…

This article provides an overview of the research method meta-analysis as a tool for general music advocacy. "Why music education?" is framed as underlying advocacy efforts, noting a historical duality between musical outcomes and nonmusical outcomes. A vignette is provided to show how meta-analyses were used to impact legislation on…

This study addresses the challenges of effectively teaching communication theories to undergraduate students by highlighting the gap between the need for developing higher-order, transferrable knowledge and the learning needs of novice learners. To bridge this gap, it introduces a novel five-step model integrating motivation, direct instruction,…

This study discusses the learning commons concept in depth by looking at how it has evolved over time, based on the themes discussed in the scholarly research within the last 6 years and contextualizing its trend. It investigates the status of research productivity and impact, trends in the concept, and identifies common, emerging, and dominant…

This article presents a literature review of academic research careers in universities. An exhaustive bibliometric analysis of academic research careers was conducted to reveal the major trends and themes regarding the topic. The authors engaged with 191 published documents generated via Web of Science. Bibliometric indicators, such as authors,…
