Sport management curricula at universities across the United States often require one or more classes on legal issues of sport. Most often, the topic of risk management (RM) is not covered as extensively as necessary with venues and events being targets of violence and terrorism. Do graduating sport management students understand RM in a way where…

Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has emerged as a significant research topic in recent times, particularly in the context of K-12 education. While numerous systematic literature reviews have focused on students as participants, there is a notable gap in reviews that concentrate on the educators who adopt DGBL in their classrooms. This study aims…

Learning management systems have become a powerful tool to support and manage online learning in higher education. However, in Vietnam, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners are used to direct face-to-face teaching, making learners' acceptance of technology-mediated online learning of English an issue of concern. In this study, we…

Peter MacIntyre's 35-years of research in SLA, psychology of language learning, and communication was systematically reviewed in six sections driven by subjective guidelines developed for the purposes of the present survey. To operationalize the objectives of the sections, an impressionistic methodology was created for analysis, according to which…

This systematic literature review focuses on the research published on K-12 maker education in the early 2020s, providing a current picture of the field. Maker education is a hands-on approach to learning that encourages students to engage in collaborative and innovative activities, using a combination of traditional design and fabrication tools…

Early teens face distinctive challenges. They are entering adolescence with new and more intense social and academic pressures.
