Background: Collaborative learning can effectively promote the development of higher-order competencies, where learners collaborate via social interactions to explore and solve complex problems. It has been found that the effective occurrence of collaborative learning requires appropriate external guidance and support. In particular, collaborative…

This theoretical paper focuses on the social processes of public engagement with science and their implications for science education. The core of our argument is that science education should help people become better at evaluating, using, and curating their epistemic networks to make personal and civic decisions and to understand the natural…

Graph neural networks (GNN) are vital for analyzing real-world problems (e.g., network analysis, drug interaction, electronic design automation, e-commerce) that use graph models. However, efficient GNN acceleration faces with multiple challenges related to high and variable sparsity of input feature vectors, power-law degree distribution in the…

In this article, we adopt assemblage as "methodology" and as a way to foreground the vitality and relational agency of other species as they encounter humans. Research as assemblage is a process of becoming with others, and we experienced that ontological process during three environmental excursions as we became entangled in…

This dissertation examines the role of digitalization in new venture internationalization in three studies: a systematic literature review, a quantitative study, and a qualitative study. The systematic literature review synthesizes existing literature in the research domains of digitalization and international opportunity recognition, as well as…

Detecting and mitigating wormhole attacks in wireless networks remains a critical challenge due to their deceptive nature and potential to compromise network integrity. This paper proposes a novel approach to wormhole detection by leveraging propagation delay analysis between network nodes. Unlike traditional methods that rely on signature-based…

The article investigates the Estrado Network, which has united academics, trade unionists, and teachers in resistance against neoliberal globalisation while fostering educational alternatives for over twenty years. We utilise Bhabha's 'third space' concept to examine the network's role in the 'hybridization of various discourses and perspectives.…

This paper reports a small-scale qualitative inquiry in the discipline of Early Childhood Studies in Higher Education that explores how playfulness in pedagogy might create an environment in which people within the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) sector (including students) engage in dialogue about structural injustice. Participants in…

Purpose: While leadership in educational contexts has been widely studied, less is known about how leadership dynamics shape social influence networks within school ecosystems. This study addresses this gap by examining how leadership structures social networks during educational reform, drawing on social network theory and a distributed…

Group cognition is a cognitive science concept that studies how groups think, learn, and work. Most research investigates group cognition as a qualitative-oriented phenomenon. From a quantitative perspective, this research proposes a measure equation of group cognition, conducts empirical research during online collaborative problem-solving, and…

This paper presents the results of a study that investigated technical and professional educational policies in both Brazil and Mexico, and the relations of these two countries with international networks of educational organizations. The focus is on the three international organizations that have had the most influence on public education…

This paper proposes a multilayered methodology for analyzing distance learning students' data to gain insight into the learning progress of the student subjects both in an individual basis and as members of a learning community during the course taking process. The communication aspect is of high importance in educational research. Additionally,…

Research on professional learning and social networks among music educators points to the importance of closely-situated colleagues. However, the co-teaching dyad (i.e. a pair of music educators teaching elective instrumental music classes during the school day) has not been investigated in music settings. Research is needed on the co-teaching…

The interdisciplinary field of human movement sciences (HMS) has gained massive interest among educational institutions around the world, not only in terms of academic programs but also in research. With this emergence, the researchers aimed to describe the productivity of HMS research in the Philippines. The descriptive bibliometric analysis…

The field of higher education research is fast-growing, both in number of publications and in geographical reach. There is however limited evidence on how this growth in publication influences the structure of the underlying co-authorship network. This is important as structural network parameters can change quickly in a fast-growing network,…
