In Upper secondary vocational education and training (VET) we note the presence of students with learning challenges, including reading and writing difficulties. However, both the learning and practice of a trade require the use of trade-related writing. One characteristic of those writings is their plurisemioticity which we can see as different…

While existing literature documents the benefits and concerns of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) for learning processes, it largely overlooks fundamental learning theories such as Cognitive Load Theory, Constructivism, Activity Theory, and Bloom's Taxonomy. This study employs a scoping review methodology to identify current research gaps…

Children's museums are delightful, whimsical, and joyful places, but they are undertheorized. This limits our capacity to fully leverage children's museums as spaces for expansive visions of literacy learning. It also limits our examination of the potential harms enacted by children's museums. To theorize the children's museum, I take Ash's…

The aim of the present study was to analyse how university students' achievement goals are associated with two distinct academic outcomes: academic performance and academic engagement (i.e., cognitive, affective and behavioural). Also, it investigated the potential mediating role of cognitive and metacognitive self-regulation learning strategies…

This study aims to examine the extent of conceptual knowledge of students with and at risk of learning disabilities on entrepreneurial business ideas in the region where they reside.

The challenge & consequences: Higher education organizations (HEOs) invest in service-learning, internships, and community-based research, which generally require partnerships with community organizations. However, the impact of these programs on the community partners remains poorly understood. This results in a poor understanding of the…

Growth in data analytics coupled with transparency movements in higher education has led many colleges and universities to adopt the use of data dashboards that distill large amounts of data into digestible summaries. In this paper, we examine the use of public-facing data dashboards about the profile of a campus community. We refer to these…

This scoping review examines the impact of blended learning, especially the dichotomy of synchronous and asynchronous, on equity in higher education. Employing the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework, the literature is systematically reviewed to understand how these educational paradigms can facilitate or hinder equitable learning experiences,…

This paper shares an account of our wonderings, happenings, and learnings emerging from encounters between children, iPads, digital microscopes and found natural materials (and bugs!) in a series of workshops at a children's museum. Our intention is to build on and disrupt established theories about children's museums by thinking differently and…

This qualitative research study explored how rural secondary principals in Tennessee made sense of the practice of school mindfulness and what motivated them to engage in leadership practices that enact mindfulness in this setting. This study draws from the theoretical construct of high reliability theory (HRT) and school mindfulness: focus on…

The authors have noticed a perplexing trend among general education candidates for more than a decade. On the 1st day of a visual arts education course, teachers often hear candidates say, "I'm not an artist" or "Please do not grade me on my artistic ability because I have none." These statements suggest that somewhere in their…

The Global Engineers Languages and Skills (GELS) framework, developed as a language-neutral framework of engineering-specific communication skills, was adapted in 2023 for Japanese to address the language's unique linguistic and cultural features. Adjustments included subdividing beginner levels, adding a guideline for learning the complex writing…

Our study focused on the challenges of student attitudes towards math has on their performance in the mathematics classroom. We sought out to see the impact of reflective opportunities on how students feel about the mathematics they are learning as well as how they view themselves as mathematicians. We also incorporated Project Based Learning to…
