This study examines teachers' emotions within minority primary schools. While previous research on teachers' emotions frames them as narratively constructed and shaped by ideological forces, it often overlooks the unique impact of minority school contexts. The role of power and status dynamics in shaping teachers' emotions within such educational…

South African communities may be viewed in three categories -- rural, semi-urban and urban. These communities are unequal in terms of infrastructure and economic opportunities, among other things. The inequities among the communities extend to schools as microcosms of communities. Schools in urban areas enjoy inter alia better infrastructure,…

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the teacher-researcher development project in Thailand's deaf education using the CIPP model. The evaluation focused on the context, input, process, and product factors to assess the quality and impact of the training on teachers' knowledge, abilities, and characteristics. The participants (n = 23)…

This study examines the relationship between emotions experienced in Physical Education (PE) and their impact on resilience in physical-sport activities (PA-S) using the Transcontextual Model (TCM) applied to Achievement Emotion Theory (AET). The aim was to assess the consistency and emotional transfer between PE and PA-S, and how these emotions…

Amid Vietnam's ongoing curriculum reforms and digital transformation, our study explores key factors influencing the implementation of blended learning among secondary school teachers, particularly in elective subjects. Using a large-scale mixed-methods design, we surveyed 1,834 teachers and conducted focus groups with 40 participants from diverse…

This study investigated how metacognitive regulation (MR), especially its forms and foci, was manifested in less and more successful outcome groups' collaborative science learning in diverse learning contexts. Whilst previous research has shown that different forms and foci of MR exist in collaborative learning, their role in groups' learning…

This paper dwells on the metaphor of "shadow organising" for exploring what happens in the space of the 'not-yet data'. It wonders what we do to 'data' and what 'data' do to us, to our subjectivities as professionals. It deals with elusive knowledges and how professionals construct what counts as 'data' and what is discarded as…

The number and type of collaborations between researchers and stakeholders has increased significantly. This responds to the demand from policymakers, funders, and citizens that researchers should help to tackle important social issues (e.g. climate change, healthy aging). However, there is little knowledge about how collaboration processes are…

A challenge for listeners is to learn the appropriate mapping between acoustics and phonetic categories for an individual talker. Lexically guided perceptual learning (LGPL) studies have shown that listeners can leverage lexical knowledge to guide this process. For instance, listeners learn to interpret ambiguous /s/-/[esh]/ blends as /s/ if they…

Background: School-aged children are increasingly engaging with multiple conflicting texts to understand complex societal issues; however, empirical research has not yet examined in what ways contextual factors affect detection of and memory for conflicts. Methods: The current experiment manipulated contextual factors that included the vocabulary…

Background: The prevalence of falls involving people with intellectual disabilities (ID) is high in comparison with the general population. There has been little evidence to date on the contributing risk factors. The objective of this review was to identify risk factors for people with intellectual disabilities. Method: Literature searches were…

The theoretical and empirical foundations of research on trust in education are still weak. To contribute to a better understanding of the role of trust in educational systems, this final article of the special issue "Trust in educational settings. European perspectives" highlights the findings from the contributions in this special…

Children's ability to recognize object shape is foundational for successful early word learning. However, the prototypical shape of objects may not be easily accessible--take margarita glasses, for instance. The current study examined 304 U.S. children 17- to 42-month-old (152 females) from 2017 to 2020, asking how shape, age, and vocabulary…

This study aims to evaluate students' ability to process the context information embedded in chemistry problems. To achieve this goal, a diagnostic measurement instrument was developed, comprising 28 short-answer items embedded in seven context-based chemistry tasks. Four hundred and ninety-three ninth-graders took part in the testing in Jiangsu,…

The modality effect refers to the robust finding that memory performance differs for items presented aurally, as compared with visually. Whereas auditory presentation leads to stronger recency performance in immediate recall, visual presentation often produces better primacy performance (the inverse modality effect). To investigate and model these…
