In this paper, we argue that during collaborative classroom interactions, 'the mangle' is entangled in different forms of agency that (dis)enable mathematical agency. We first unpack student's agency in the context of collaborative classroom interactions, and then use excerpts of interactions to illustrate how 'the mangle' is entangled in…

Supervisee development is integral to counselor training. Despite the general acknowledgement that supervisors adopt different styles when supervising counselor trainees at varying levels, there is a paucity of studies that (a) measure supervisee levels using reliable and valid psychometric instruments, other than a broad categorization of…

The study explored the effect of the activity-based approach (ABA) on grade 11 learners' performance in solving two-dimensional (2D) trigonometric problems. A sequential explanatory design was used, starting with the quantitative, followed by the qualitative method. The experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG) were facilitated using ABA,…

In this paper, we discuss the place of plurilingualism in Language and Literacy Education. The article problematises English-only, monolingual-centric assumptions upon which much of Australia's current literacy education policy discourse has been based, to instead advance "pluriliteracies" as an alternate, more generative lens through…

From their documented arrival in the colonial United States, Black women have been systemically forced to exist as mules for a society dependent on their labor and human capital for a developing nation funded by a plantation-centered economy. Likewise, the nation's earliest higher education institutions were founded within the confines of the U.S.…

School motivation is key to promoting optimal educational pathways. Some studies suggest that parental monitoring behaviors foster school motivation among adolescents; however, they did not examine the potential role of adolescents' motivation in shaping parental monitoring behaviors. This longitudinal study aimed to examine the bidirectional…

The main data sources were based on material from three focus group interviews and observations from the PMT's teaching…

Higher education institutions continue to face challenges in fostering social mobility and preparing their students for the world of work. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these challenges via disruption to education and reduced opportunities for work-integrated learning. Framing this as our point of departure, we propose that peer learning can…

Recent conceptualizations of language learning motivation have highlighted its dynamic and contextual nature. Yet the role of the L2 learning context in shaping motivation remains under-explored. This study adopts an agency perspective to examine emerging motivational orientations across diverse medium of instruction settings. The present study…

Objective: Theorists have posited that community college students' socio-academic integrative relationships with other students, college staff, and instructors, as well as their sense of college-related aspiration, mindset, grit, and agency, may impact their academic success. When community college students narrate (i.e., create stories that help…

In the literature on the relationship between learning environments and students' approaches to learning, much attention has been directed to aspects that foster a "deep approach." Considerably less attention has been directed to aspects that result in the opposite, namely a "surface approach." Indeed, there is a small…

The use of video games in schools is not new. However, classroom use of video games may be poised for a dramatic shift as billion dollar video game franchises such as "Assassin's Creed" and "Minecraft" continue to invest in features aimed at facilitating the use of these games for education (Egbert & Borysenko, 2018;…

Higher education institutions are increasingly relying on learning analytics to collect voluminous amounts of data ostensibly to inform student learning interventions. The use of learning analytics, however, can result in a tension between the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) principles of autonomy and…

Multiple studies have examined learning and training for autistic students to improve their quality of life by using eXtended-Reality (XR) technologies, which mainly include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). Nevertheless, little is known about how technical features and technology affordances of the XR…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine Saudi EFL learners' autonomy beliefs, the relation between their autonomy beliefs and autonomy practices, and the major obstacles against their autonomy. Design/methodology/approach: In this quantitative study, a survey questionnaire was administered to 350 (N=350) students in the English Language…
