In light of the increasingly complex international and regional educational landscape, enhancing student academic achievement has emerged as a critical, shared objective for nations, institutions, educators, and students alike. This volume presents an in-depth review of the current conditions, challenges, and dilemmas confronting students in their…

Objective: Most undocumented students enter higher education through community colleges, yet these institutions typically offer less support than four-year universities. Using Shumaker and Brownell's theory of social support, we aimed to understand how resources at community colleges influenced undocumented students' persistence. Specifically, we…

Multilevel scientific creativity of college students has gained increasing scholarly attention. However, the double-edged effects of a playful climate on creativity have often been overlooked, while single-level theoretical frameworks have hindered the understanding of complex scientific creative processes. In this review, the relationship between…

Background/purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges and opportunities for students' learning worldwide and changed the environments in which students learn. An international learning environment was designed to "bridge the distance", address pre-service teachers' socio-emotional needs and develop their entrepreneurial thinking…

Purpose: The intersection of multiculturalism and educational leadership has received increasing attention in research worldwide. Nonetheless, considering major trends and challenges across different societies, little is known about this under the indigenous communities' framework. The purpose of the paper is to address this gap through a review…

Collaborative teaching models provide support to music teachers, easing isolation and enhancing professional development, which fosters innovative teaching and professional fulfillment. Researchers have found that these benefits occur when educators have positive attitudes about collaborative teaching and choose to develop strong collaborative…

Problematic internet use (PIU) has become a noticeable issue among adolescents, which negatively affects their physical and mental health. Previous research has noted the protective role of school climate in reducing PIU, but the underlying mechanisms need to be further explored. Based on the ecological systems theory, this study focused on the…

Despite the importance of spatiality in language learning and teaching environments, empirical research in this line is still lacking. Here, we adopt a spatial ontology perspective to examine how seven English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learners and three teachers perceived and experienced three language learning environments. Set in a higher…

Background/purpose: Administrative bullying has become associated with inappropriate behaviors at work. This raised some concerns about how to define and measure it precisely. Nonetheless, there is a theoretical and practical gap in educational literature. So, this study explores the impact of administrative bullying on the quality of education.…

The aim of the study is to reveal the relationships between prospective teachers' awareness of reducing ecological footprint, their sustainable consumption behaviours and their behaviours towards sustainable environmental education by using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). In the study, a cross-sectional survey model was adopted, and the…

Climate change threatens communities' livelihoods and significantly impacts how people envision their futures. In a context of ecological precarity, our study asked how women water and land defenders in Chile imagine the future, how their imaginations challenge patriarchal colonial systems of domination, and how they foster alternative ways of…

This article examines the impact of implementing a didactic strategy rooted in inquiry-based learning on the development of pro-environmental behaviors. The study considers the Learning Approaches and Performance Levels achieved by 108 students aged 13 to 16 from a public rural educational institution in the Department of Meta, Colombia. This…

The aim of this study is to find out what the effects of facilitated learning interventions in a simulation game (SG) are and what type of SG renders which type of learning. Therefore, we research the effects of facilitator interventions on learning in an analogue open SG (in which there are as few rules as possible) and an analogue rule based SG…

The development of immersive virtual reality (IVR) hardware and software has accelerated in recent years. The conceptual vocabulary has, however, not received the same amount of attention, especially in the context of collaborative learning settings. Existing concepts such as immersion, presence and interactivity focus predominantly on the…

Teachers are deeply affected by the same cultural influences as their students; directly and indirectly. This is certainly true in the rise of masculinity influencer, extremist, and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate and the brands of individual and cultural misogyny he perpetuates. Using data collected from the /r/Teachers subreddit community of…
