Contribution: This work contributes to computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offering support to the teaching presence among the enormous volume of interactions to provide a more active classroom posture in online environments. Background: Tracking interactions on collaborative learning environments (CLEs) with an increasing number of…

Campus spatial organization has potential impact on the multidisciplinary innovation (MDI). This research aims to establish an evaluation theory and a method for MDI adaptability of campus spatial organization. Based on the literature review, it first proposes theoretical assumptions regarding the correlation among MDI abilities, social networks,…

The paper studies the emergence of venture philanthropy in public schools in Australia, focusing on policy networks and policy mobility. It seeks to analyse how policy is mobilised and leveraged via networks, focusing on the initiative of a national education charity with deductible gift recipient status, and a national research education…

Globally, many complex issues, like the ageing population and health inequalities, require attention. People are experimenting to combat these issues in their local contexts through bigger or smaller networks; however, much of the knowledge about these initiatives remains localised and elitist and omits the voices and perspectives of citizens.…

E-science, or networked, collaborative and multidisciplinary scientific research on a shared e-infrastructure using computational tools, methods and applications, has also brought about new networked organizational forms in the transition of higher education towards the entrepreneurial academy. While the under-representation of women in ICTs is…

This dissertation examines the interaction patterns that happen in an online learning environment. While many studies look at online learning through the lens of the learner or the learning environment, few studies look at the interaction patterns that happen through the digital traces captured by computational tools. Based on the conceptual…

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…

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…

This article shares activities that engage students in quality peer dialogue to build up and break down networks, revealing underlying structure and equivalence. These investigations offer students three kinds of mathematical arguments: (1) proofs of impossibility; (2) proofs by induction; and (3) proofs by exhaustion. The authors describe a…

Architectural design pedagogy is indeed complex. At the early stages, basic design principles should be addressed and the design process should be taught with its multidisciplinary variables to enable each student to develop an individual approach. In this regard, the objective of this study is to propose strategies for enhancing students'…

Background/purpose: The education sector is currently encountering challenges and evolving concepts in the Society 5.0 era, which seeks to harmonize society and technology to build a more advanced and sustainable world. This study analyzes the influence of Supportive Leadership, Social Network Capability, and Openness to Experience on Adaptive…

This study examines digital citizenship among higher education Economics students, focusing on the interplay between technical skills, critical perspective, networking agency, and political activism on the internet. Using a cross-sectional survey design and convenience sampling, data from 247 Economics students at the University of Cape Coast,…

Communities of practice in STEM education are important for promoting the improvement of teaching in the postsecondary curriculum. One community in particular is the Interactive Online Network of Inorganic Chemists (IONiC). IONiC aims to advance inorganic chemistry education through the creation of curricular materials (i.e., learning objects).…

We compare the scheme for educational dialogue analysis (SEDA) to the actor-network theory (ANT) for the analysis of educational dialogues. We show that ANT unearths the socio-material structure of classroom talk as networks in which human and non-human actors (texts, diagrams, instructions, etc.) exert power on each other. The application of ANT…
