Pfab, Evan; Filiciotto, Layla; Luque, Rafael – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
This laboratory experiment introduces students to an important reaction in biomass valorization and allows them to gain a practical understanding of green chemistry. Acid-catalyzed dehydration reactions of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and thus humins were performed both with and without aqueous solvent, along with two different catalysts…

Pierce, Jennifer D.; Irby, Melissa; Weber-Mayrer, Melissa – Learning Professional, 2019
These three authors have led and studied coaching across diverse settings and with educators at multiple levels, from classroom teachers to district and state leaders, and have observed that the need for a more strategic approach is a common theme. They draw on implementation science research to describe how to improve coaching across educational…

Petters, Dean David – Developmental Psychology, 2019
From his first attempts to explain attachment phenomena in the 1940s through his "Attachment and Loss" trilogy (Bowlby, 1969/1982, 1973, 1980), John Bowlby reformulated the theoretical underpinnings of attachment theory several times. He initially attempted to explain attachment phenomena in psychoanalytic terms. Then he invoked…

Castellani, Brian; Barbrook-Johnson, Peter; Schimpf, Corey – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2019
Two leading camps for studying social complexity are case-based methods (CBM) and agent-based modelling (ABM). Despite the potential epistemological links between 'cases' and 'agents,' neither camp has leveraged their combined strengths. A bridge can be built, however, by drawing on Abbott's insight that 'agents are cases doing things', Byrne's…

Grack Nelson, Amy; King, Jean A.; Lawrenz, Frances; Reich, Christine; Bequette, Marjorie; Pattison, Scott; Kunz Kollmann, Elizabeth; Illes, Molly; Cohn, Sarah; Iacovelli, Stephanie; Cardiel, Christopher L. B.; Ostgaard, Gayra; Goss, Juli; Beyer, Marta; Causey, Lauren; Sinkey, Anne; Francisco, Melanie – American Journal of Evaluation, 2019
While evaluation capacity building (ECB) may hold promise for fostering evaluation, little is known about how it is operationalized within a network. This article presents initial findings from a National Science Foundation-funded research project (Complex Adaptive Systems as a Model for Network Evaluations) that used concepts from complex…

Nga Huynh Hong Ngo; Lap Quoc Trinh – Educational Process: International Journal, 2025
Background/purpose: Although studies on teacher research are becoming more common in English language teaching (ELT), there is still a lack of understanding regarding how university lecturers shape their research identities. Using Ecological systems theory and Self-determination theory, this study examines the construction of research identities…

David R. Keith; Aishwarya Yadama; Ellen O'Neill; Saras Chung – Review of Research in Education, 2024
There have been countless efforts to improve academic achievement in public schools across the United States, especially in urban school districts. Few efforts, however, use rigorous analytic modeling tools to anticipate and prevent the potential side effects of change. This chapter proposes the application of system dynamics on educational reform…

Lambert, Philip A. – Creativity Research Journal, 2020
For many years, creativity research had been yielding contradictory results. More recently, these results have come to be regarded as creativity paradoxes. This research reviews a growing body of evidence that highly creative people tend to operate, either simultaneously or dynamically, at extremes along continuums, where the extremes are…

Cletzer, D. Adam; Kaufman, Eric K. – Journal of Leadership Education, 2020
Our understanding of leaders and the role they play in organizations and society is changing, which has important implications for leadership education. At the turn of the century, society began to move from a mechanistic understanding of leadership to a more ecological one. The latter, ecological approach to leadership is characterized by…

White, Stacey Swearingen – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2020
Purpose: College and university campuses serve as a vital test bed for sustainability solutions of various types. To date, though, campus sustainability efforts have focused more on the environmental and economic aspects of sustainability, with less attention to its social aspects. This paper aims to draw on a study of student food insecurity to…

Scott, V. C.; Alia, K.; Scaccia, J.; Ramaswamy, R.; Saha, S.; Leviton, L.; Wandersman, A. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2020
Sustainable community health improvement often requires the implementation of complex interventions in complex systems. Drawing from the "Four Keys to Success" frame (theory, implementation, support, and evaluation), this article describes how we used a formative evaluation approach to foster a learning system capable of monitoring and…

Hays, Jay; Reinders, Hayo – International Review of Education, 2020
This article introduces sustainable learning and education (SLE), an emerging philosophy of learning and teaching founded on principles of sustainability. SLE is not necessarily education for sustainability, but rather sustainable learning, a new and different idea. The intention behind SLE is to create and proliferate sustainable curricula and…

Sands, Sara R. – Educational Policy, 2023
The research on education philanthropy typically characterizes foundations as practicing either "traditional" or "strategic" philanthropy. These labels are used to indicate divergent ways of thinking about the impact of grants and approaches to grantmaking between the two models. Drawing on a theoretical framework informed by…
