Higher education institutions (HEI) are increasingly challenged by plagiarism, which threatens their academic standards and integrity. This is due to the fact that students have access to an overwhelming amount of information online, making it easier for them to copy and paste without giving proper credit or attribution.

This paper seeks to bring together two seemingly disparate conversations, design and environmental education, with the intent to offer an interesting, new, useful approach to developing educational responses to the climate and ecological crises engendered by the Capitalocene. Beginning with observations on the relevance of design to the creation…

Using Black Shoals as a theoretical guide, we explore how intentional emergence (IE) can help erode the colonial and capitalist underpinnings of leadership education. Informed by Black Shoals and IE, we offer three pedagogical recommendations we frame as decolonial interventions--dissolving the center, weaving the margins, and collective…

Jack Mezirow's (1978, 1991, and 2008) transformative learning (TL) theory was developed with transforming society in mind. However, that intent has been overshadowed by a dominant focus on individual transformation and a rational cognitive approach to critically assessing assumptions as the path to transformation. We (the authors) wonder what…

Lockers in middle schools and high schools in the United States are currently disappearing. Due to safety concerns and digitalized textbooks and other school supplies, lockers are becoming obsolete.

Given the inherent association of interpreting with feelings of anxiousness, the subject of interpreting poses a formidable challenge for students in this field. A large number of prospective interpreters assert that they are unable to complete the assignment to a satisfactory level because they are unable to get past their fear. The harmful…

Understanding preferences surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and human teaching assistants (TAs) helps managers improve AI TAs, effectively deploying AI and human TAs, and providing better services to learners. The literature has explored how AI TAs' characteristics affect students' use intention, neglecting students' comparative behaviors…

Jazz arrived in mainland China as early as the 1920s. It has since been a popular music genre among the middle and upper classes. Similar to that in the West, jazz education in China has been increasingly formalized, with a growing number of universities and academies offering jazz degree programs or courses. Despite a few studies on jazz and its…

For social and emotional learning (SEL) to be most effective, students must consistently access social and emotional knowledge and apply SEL skills across time and context. This article presents the Framework for the Pedagogies of SEL, which aims to theoretically articulate how teachers can support effective student SEL. We present an overview of…

In this paper I outline the most relevant traits of the term "trust" understood as one of the synonyms for "certainty" that Ludwig Wittgenstein used in his posthumous work "On Certainty." To this end, I analyze the paragraphs of "On Certainty" in which reference is made to pupils who are expected to trust…

Background and Context: Understanding how a student programmer solves different task types in different programming languages is essential to understanding how we can further improve teaching tools to support students to be industry-ready when they graduate. It also provides insight into students' thought processes in different task types and…

Objective: The present study prospectively examined the association between fear of COVID-19 and anxiety and whether social support moderated this association among college students. Participants: 1,539 students from 11 universities in the United States completed two online surveys, one prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and one during the pandemic.…

The study of students' willingness to use translation technology can motivate students to use the translation technology and improve their translation efficiency. This paper reports on a survey which collected 716 valid questionnaires from students in the Master-level Program in Translation and Interpreting. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was…
