People labelled with intellectual disabilities often rely on service providers to support their belonging. Methods: In this critically…

Now in a revised and updated second edition addressing the evolving needs of today's K-12 educators, this established classroom resource is written by leaders in positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). Brandi Simonsen and Diane Myers provide a vital classroom management and behavior support toolkit with a primary focus on universal…

The growing negative impact of human activities increases the effect of climate change. People must adapt and change their behaviour and attitudes towards solving current environmental problems and preventing new ones. Non-formal education, such as educational workshops on environmental topics, could give results in the short term. In this…

Applying a person-environment fit perspective, our study posited that the interplay between students' personal values and lecturers' teaching orientation predicted students' psychological need satisfaction amidst the transition to distance learning in the initial weeks of the COVID19 pandemic. Our contention was that the more students valued…

The impact of evolving technologies, including in education, has prompted researchers to enhance the educational process through flow experience in technology-enhanced learning environments in Informatics in Education. This study investigates the effects of a gamified educational environment with competition and collaboration elements on students'…

At the 2024 ALA conference, the authors presented their exploration of the internet access challenges faced by graduate students at a STEM university in Ghana. This research highlighted how unreliable, expensive, and intermittent internet affects academic life, particularly for students off-campus. Despite the university's solid on-campus…

There is general consensus within students and staff in higher education that designers have to be 'eco-conscious', making decisions every day that will consciously or non-consciously impact their carbon footprint in multiple ways, from the files they are saving, to the designs they are creating. However, in further/higher education, it is still…

Based on observations of a rural community and in-depth interviews with five rural women, this paper shows how access to smartphones enables marginalised rural women to engage in digital literacies in their everyday life practices. The research shows that rural women learn digital skills, communication skills, and literacies in an unplanned and…

We consider what is known about the potential internal processes involved when educators come to use research findings in their classroom practice. We undertook a conceptual review drawing on a range of disciplines, with findings ultimately categorised under six phases regarding research uptake and implementation. This categorisation provides a…

Purpose: This study addresses the need for a validated tool to assess self-directed learning (SDL) behaviors among Thai operational employees in the petrochemical industry. Understanding SDL capabilities is essential for effective human resource development, given the complexity of plant operations and the need for continuous skill enhancement.…

Interpersonal teacher behavior can be described with the Interpersonal Circumplex on the dimensions of communion (warmth, sensitivity) and agency (initiative, control). In an observational study, we investigated whether a teacher's interpersonal behavior in dyadic interactions with a student is complementary to the student's communion and…

England's schooling landscape is being remodelled and the move from hierarchical to heterarchical modes of governance has implications for systemic change strategies. Balancing local and networked autonomy with centralising policies complexifies choices for schools, creating tensions that this article explores through the context of curriculum…

Across the world, more and more children are introduced to digital literacy alongside print literacy. In many settings, children are initiated to literacy by their families prior to formal education, and emergent research shows that children's awareness and learning of digital literacy begins in family settings. Yet, there is little awareness of…
