Objectives: The quality of intimate partner relationships strongly influences men's mental health, yet little research attention has been given to these relationships from a strengths-based critical masculinities perspective. Addressing this knowledge gap, this photovoice study provides insights into young men's experiences of, and perspectives…

Technology-infused classrooms sometimes feel like tech-support sessions, where students struggle to learn platform interfaces during their process of content creation. Especially in courses where technology is the medium, not the subject matter, time and attention directed toward troubleshooting can feel like distractions from the "real"…

Personalized learning (PL) is a student-centered instructional approach in which learning goals, pacing, content, and environments are customized to address individual student needs (Bernacki et al., 2021; Ellis, 2009; Lee, 2014; Miliband, 2006; Office of Educational Technology, 2010; Sota, 2016; Zhang et al., 2020). In grades K-12, PL has been…

This article investigates agency in children and young people affected by the climate-induced natural disasters in recent years in Queensland, Australia to understand their role in processing and coping with these events. The narratives of participants were explored using semi-structured interviews with eight participants aged between six and…

Professional development (PD) programmes take a wide variety of forms. Lloyd and Davis (2018) present a model to map the diversity of PD programmes based on the extent to which intrinsic control of learning was afforded to the teachers by the PD. In this study, Lloyd and Davis's model was applied to map two different PD programmes. Both programmes…

Mathematical modeling tasks can engage students in ways in which they see themselves as mathematicians capable of using mathematics to solve real-world and complex problems. As mathematics teacher educators and researchers, the authors collaborated with two 5th-grade teachers, Liz and Anna (pseudonyms), focusing on equitable practices that foster…

Naptime practices of early childhood education and care (ECEC) have been found to place children's bodies under adult governance, leaving children few possibilities for agency and influence (e.g. Kuukka 2015; Nothard et al. 2015). In this study, we explore children's (aged five to seven) accounts of naptime in ECEC, asking how children's bodily…

In this study, we evaluated the effect of student autonomy to ask the research question and course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) duration on student perceptions of research practices in the context of a CURE focused on evaluation of the microbiome of bean beetles. Instructors implemented the Bean Beetle Microbiome CURE at two…

Flexibility in distance education is often regarded as an inherently positive concept. Taking a more critical approach, this article distinguishes between "temporal-spatial flexibility," defined as enabling students to choose the time, pace and place of their studies, and "pedagogical flexibility," defined as offering education…

Mathematical games are widely used in primary school classrooms, yet the activities that are labelled as "games" vary considerably in their structure, cognitive demands, and potential to support student reasoning. This conceptual paper offers a typology that distinguishes between pseudo-games, superficial games, gamification, and…

Purpose: This article reports on a study that explored how individual factors, such as students' participatory actions and agentic factors, interact with the workplace contextual factors to create workplace learning environments that facilitate or hinder student learning. Design/methodology/approach: The study followed a qualitative approach. It…

Sexuality and relationship education (SRE) for trans young people is fraught with ongoing institutional and informational erasure, even as trans young people display considerable agency in navigating their SRE needs. This paper reports on a survey of 112 Australian trans young people, who shared their experiences of SRE (in terms of delivery and…

We study the effects of parenting style on students' school performance, assuming that immigrant parents' child-rearing strategies derive from their country of origin. Following Doepke and Zilibotti [2017. Parenting with style: Altruism and paternalism in intergenerational preference transmission. "Econometrica," 85(5), 1331--1371.…

This article establishes a framework for teaching and learning for mutual respect. I define mutual respect as intervening on power asymmetries typically found in classrooms by way of according students increased equality, autonomy, and equity. In highlighting how equality, autonomy, and equity interact in ongoing and unpredictable ways in…

This article proposes that researchers should seek to understand the value conflicts inherent in the career choices of gifted students. This study explored those conflicts using a narrative analysis based on the McAdams (1993) model of personal meaning-making. The subjects were two gifted female political leaders: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Jacinda…
