I began my higher academic journey as a student of political science and history, aiming to engage with and improve my communities. However, by 2016, I became disillusioned with my work in politics and left to pursue a career in education, focusing on developing civic education for my students. The University of South Carolina's EdD program, with…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationships between academic freedom and research productivity, focusing on the mediating role of the Human Development Index (HDI). Specifically, it investigates how academic freedom influences human development and research productivity. The underlying theoretical framework is derived from Amartya Sen's…

This reflective inquiry reports on the experiences of a working group at Arizona State University (ASU) that, over the course of four months, built, integrated, and iterated artificial intelligence (AI) solutions into their daily work as research administrators. During this process, the group focused on creating AI solutions for the complex,…

The article analyses the changes and trends in the scientific systems of countries and regions in the Global South shifting the focus away from the BRICS countries. The research is underpinned by the critical scholarship on the globalisation, internationalisation and regionalisation of science and higher education. The empirical analysis is…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the absorptive capacity of an elementary school participating in a multi-year research-practice partnership (RPP) focused on increasing data science instruction through curriculum development. This research considers how data science initiatives might be sustained with fewer supports from the research team as…

In 2024, the AAUP, in partnership with the Center for the Study of Community Colleges, conducted an inaugural shared governance survey focused on community colleges, the institutions educating nearly 40 percent of all undergraduates in the United States. The survey instrument mirrored the one used for four-year institutions, examining faculty…

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that helps learners develop (meta)cognitive and social skills. In PBL, students identify problems, design strategies, implement them, and reflect on their resolution process. When applied in English language teaching (ELT), students interact throughout these phases, developing language…

In this systematic review, we examined interventions for increasing prosocial employment skills for adolescents with emotional and/or behavioral disorders (EBDs). Many studies have focused on social skills related to employment for individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. However, there is a paucity of research on…

This study was conducted to further explore the possible mechanism behind the finding that rural teachers are disadvantaged for participation in inquiry-based working compared to their urban counterparts. School organisation factors are the most obvious mediating variables since they can be easily connected with wider school regional features and…

Although cognitive and social processes influencing students' scientific thinking skills have been extensively studied in recent years, the interplay between these processes remains insufficiently understood. This study examines the mediating role of research collaboration in the relationship between epistemic curiosity and critical thinking, as…

The U.S. must find ways to engage all of its population in advancing scientific and technological work. This must include efforts to admit and educate a more diverse array of students in terms of pre-college opportunity and preparation, as well as provide supportive environments and experiences to help these students succeed. For these efforts to…

Statistics for psychology is a challenging aspect of undergraduate psychology courses but poorly understood in experiential terms. Accordingly, we drew on Brookfield's 'four lenses for critical reflection' to acquire insights from first year psychology undergraduate free text survey responses (learner lens), and psychology educator survey free…

Educational robotics offers opportunities to young learners in early childhood settings (three to nine years) to learn with robots, whether screen-free or screen-based. Due to the vast variety of educational robotics tools available, educational practitioners need decision support to choose appropriate tools. The task of finding, acquiring and…

A scoping review of the literature was undertaken using JBI guidelines to map the evidence of parent-led therapy (PLT) for young autistic children ([less than or equal to] 6 years) raised in bilingual environments. Reviewers used Covidence to screen located sources. Sixteen papers met inclusion criteria. A strong acceleration of reports of PLT for…

Quantitative studies of educational inequity, or inequality, often perpetuate troubling, deficit-based ideologies that have a disproportionate impact on discourse around racism in public education. In this review, we systematically analyze 52 quantitative studies of racial inequity or inequality from high-reach journals to understand how…
