The recent review of the Scottish professional standards for teachers, led by the General Teaching Council for Scotland, offered a unique perspective to interrogate participative approaches in policy-making in the Scottish education context and to provide insights and implications for future policy-making. Using one of the authors' experiences as…

Reasonable accommodations (RA) for children with special educational needs (SEN) need to be decided in collaboration with all stakeholders. Even though parents play a crucial part in the inclusive school trajectory or their child with SEN, they often miss a clear role in this decision-making process. In this research, using interpretative…

While educational technologies are often considered a panacea for improving K-12 teaching and learning, they frequently produce unintended or problematic effects. Consequently, preservice teachers (PSTs) must be prepared to think critically, or "technoskeptically," when making decisions about the technologies they use in their future…

Data ethics have emerged as an essential topic in education. Educators must know how to use data effectively and responsibly. This is a complex and systemic issue that involves bringing awareness to all stakeholders, building human capacity, modifying policy, and considering equitable solutions to data use. This article posits an initial framework…

Although it is commonly believed that automation aids human decision-making, conflicting evidence raises questions about whether individuals would gain greater advantages from automation in difficult tasks. Our study examines the combined influence of task difficulty and automation reliability on aided decision-making. We assessed decision…

Because data-informed decision-making (DIDM) can help teachers meet diverse learners' needs (van Geel et al., 2016), educator preparation programs (EPPs) must ensure that preservice teachers (PSTs) develop the data literacy skills needed for effective data use. However, little is known about the ways in which EPPs work towards building PSTs' data…

This study explored the relationships among learning engagement, employability, and career decision-making self-efficacy among college students in Guangzhou, China. We hypothesized that learning engagement positively influences both employability and career decision-making self-efficacy. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 467 students from…

The growing oversupply of PhD graduates in the academic labor market has highlighted concerns about employment outcome inequality among PhD holders. However, the mechanisms underlying such disparities remain poorly understood. This qualitative study employs Careership Theory to investigate these mechanisms by examining differences in horizons for…

Although the role of international organizations in the diffusion of education policy is widely acknowledged, their role in the articulation of policy ideas remains comparatively underresearched. This article addresses this gap through a case study on the role of the OECD in the construction of the School Autonomy with Accountability policy…

While decades of research have deepened our understanding of time perception, the perception of (manipulated) video speed has been relatively underexplored but is gaining interest with recent technological advances. This study systematically investigated human perception of "video speed," "clip duration" and "original…

This research aimed to study the current conditions, desirable conditions, and needs assessment in participatory school administration of small primary schools under the Office of Basic Education Commission in the Northeastern region. The sample consisted of 367 teachers from small primary schools under the Office of Basic Education Commission in…

In response to literature examining how student biases can unfairly discriminate against instructors from disadvantaged groups or women, this study investigates how department officials at a large public university in the Northeast United States use student feedback as part of the holistic evaluation of teaching. Through surveys and a focus group,…

Every student comes to science class with unique skills and problem-solving abilities; unfortunately, there is limited research on how to differentiate instruction so that equitable progress can be made for every learner. We used a novel pedagogical approach to differentiate for a wide range of problem-solving abilities when students were learning…

Within elementary science reform, time is a crucial consideration, yet conceptions of time in education research are undertheorized. To address this gap, we use sociological literature to identify three conceptions of time that help us understand and interpret leaders' and teachers' sensemaking and decision making about time in their efforts to…

International students need to consider multiple constraints simultaneously in their decision-making for university admission. However, most of them face the problems of lacking knowledge of the decision-making process and making decisions on where to go before they become familiar with the university. This study focused on international students…
