Art education has traditionally been considered a discipline related to leisure. A case study of primary preservice generalist educators at a Spanish university was conducted to determine whether or not this perspective has evolved. It was of interest to examine whether preservice educators understand the way in which art education develops…

The implementation of cooperative learning methods remains disparate in primary schools despite their widely recognised benefits. To explain this paradox, we first examined whether teachers' inclination towards cooperative methods is motivated by their values. Second, we tested whether motivational connections between personal values and…

The study group consisted of a total of 53 children (28 experimental, 25 control) aged between 60-72 months, who were attending two kindergartens affiliated with the Directorate of National Education in…

This paper analyzes how employers use discourse to ideologize the value of college internships--a historically emergent form of contingent, temporary, educational labor which has rapidly become a major feature of both higher education and labor relations in the United States (Frenette, 2015). The analysis is based on in-depth interviews with…

Character education reinforcement in secondary schools is one of the educational programmes aimed at anticipating the tendency of moral perversion as a result of moral decadence.

This paper uses a rich set of student background characteristics to estimate the value added of second-level schools in Ireland. We show that there is a considerable degree of reranking of schools when we move from analysing raw outcomes to value added; in many cases the best performing schools in raw terms are not the best in value-added terms.…

This paper examines the theoretical foundations of educational psychology from a meta-theoretical critical realist perspective focusing on ethics and values.

We found a statistically significant, but small positive, concurrent association of authoritative…

Objective: Moral convictions have been shown to impact learning about science topics including evolution and COVID-19. However, how moral convictions influence learning about climate change -- another science topic perceived as controversial -- has not been studied in depth. The goal of our research was to investigate the predictive relationship…

This case study sought to address how one principal mentoring program supported the development of eight novice elementary principals serving in a large Midwestern urban school district. Using semi-structured interviews, the novice principals described their experiences as participants in the urban district's mentoring program. Results indicated…

In recent years, investment in youth services has been contingent on the measurement of predefined outcomes as 'proof' of effectiveness.

As youth work emerges from a decade of spending cuts, there is an urgent need for new…

The United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) champion responsible management education and research globally by instilling social responsibility values in students through teaching, research, and service.
