The rapid evolution of scientific research has created a pressing need for efficient and versatile tools to aid researchers. While using artificial intelligence (AI) to write scientific articles is unethical and unreliable due to the potential for inaccuracy, AI can be a valuable tool for assisting with other aspects of research, such as language…

Background: Artificial intelligence has been reshaping many industries, and education is no exception. When ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022, it ignited conversations among educators and researchers alike. Despite growing interest and experimentation with this technology in university classrooms, the field has been missing a comprehensive…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a practice-oriented approach where students pose questions, conduct investigations, and interpret data to develop scientific knowledge and exploratory skills. Learning analytics (LA) holds great potential to capture these dynamic processes, which provides valuable insights to understand student inquiry behaviours…

Many influential figures in the Appalachian Craft Revival (1896-1937) lauded handwoven overshot coverlets as one of the finest expressions of the region's handicraft traditions (e.g., Hall 1912). As a wave of university-educated women arrived from the North and more affluent communities in the South to establish settlement schools, folk schools,…

Despite growing research interest in digital multimodal composing (DMC) in L2 contexts, its developmental trajectory remains largely underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted a scientometric review using CiteSpace on 128 publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. Our analysis reveals a rapid growth in DMC research over the…

Experiments are considered to be essential components of science learning. This research aimed to investigate trends in the use of science experiments in online learning. A systematic literature review was carried out, with data sourced from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The reviewed documents were journal articles published between…

This edited collection addresses the important study of the conditions that support positive intergroup contact that leads to intergroup friendships and prejudice reduction through a multidisciplinary lens. Employing Intergroup Contact Theory and Intergroup Friendships Theory as conceptual foundations, this book brings together researchers in…

The average professor works far less than most employed people do, especially compared to those in well-compensated professional occupations. To compound that problem, too much of what professors spend their time on is unproductive, failing to yield societal benefit or to advance the missions of their universities. Those who govern universities,…

Background: The process of conducting research has been shown to impact depression among undergraduate and graduate students in the sciences. While prior work has established that experiencing failure, negative social interactions, and insufficient guidance in research experiences can exacerbate students' depressive symptoms, why these stressors…

This study investigates the ability of future primary school teachers to design experiments when confronted with everyday life problems, particularly those involving complex phenomena or counterintuitive outcomes. Data were collected using a content analysis approach from the written assignments submitted during a Science Education university…

Background/purpose: Student interest in mathematics plays a significant role in supporting their motivation and academic achievement. However, research in this area remains scattered and lacks a clear direction. This study was conducted to identify the development, trends, and research gaps in mathematics interest research between 2021 and 2025.…

The internship is a crucial component of principal preparation. This systematic research review aims to build on two prior syntheses of existing research on principal internships. We employed an exhaustive review of five search engines for empirical studies on principal internships in the United States between 2010 and 2023. Our search yielded 92…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are high-impact educational practices designed to engage students in authentic research while fostering the development of critical skills for persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). A key, yet underappreciated, component of successful CUREs is the role of…

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of academics and teachers collaborating in complementary associations. This is often achieved through engaged scholarship projects, such as those which aim to enhance learners' reading skills. A comprehensive review of the literature underscores the importance of pedagogical support in cultivating…

This study explores the intersection of Joseph Schumpeter's Innovation Theory and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education, specifically focusing on disruptive and incremental innovation, institutional transformation, and strategic policy adaptation. AI can potentially reshape pedagogical models, administrative…
