This chapter explores leadership education as a professional role and developmental journey, and proposes a framework of leadership educator professional development.

A thorough appreciation of the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules is crucial for new students of chemistry and critical to students continuing their studies in chemistry. We discuss current use of molecular models in education and investigate a variety of techniques used over the years to introduce students to atomic orbitals.…

The latent growth model (LGM) in structural equation modeling (SEM) may be extended to allow for the modeling of associations among multiple latent growth trajectories, resulting in a multiple domain latent growth model (MDLGM). While the MDLGM is conceived as a more powerful multivariate analysis technique, the examination of its methodological…

Objective: Socially-relevant and controversial topics, such as the climate crisis, are subject to differences in the explanations that scientists and the public find plausible. Scaffolds can help students be evaluative of the validity of explanations based on evidence when addressing such topics and support knowledge gains. Method: This study…

Writing is a fundamental skill in English language learning that requires the application of effective instructional strategies. Various strategies have been implemented in writing classrooms, including writing strategies, summarization, collaborative writing, specific product goals, word processing, sentence combining, prewriting, inquiry…

The present research aimed to 1) study the components and indicators of effective management for bachelor's degree programs, 2) assess the current condition, desired condition, and necessary development requirements, 3) create and develop the model and a user manual, and 4) evaluate the appropriateness, feasibility, and benefits of the model and…

The aim of this study is to interpret the roles and models of teachers, as the most fundamental actors of education, through their own narratives. This research employs a qualitative case study methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews with a group consisted of eleven master's and doctorate teachers working in Türkiye in the field of…

As the youth mental health crisis continues to worsen, there is a need for more evidence-based social-emotional interventions that can be applied in schools -- the setting in which youth are most likely to seek and receive mental health treatment (Simon et al., 2015). Further, exploring ways to culturally adapt interventions for marginalized…

The number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled at universities continues to increase; however, completion rates have not. In this study, we sought to understand what contributes to university completion rates by Indigenous Australian students. We employed a mixed-method approach, utilising the higher education success factor…

The current research aimed to examine the relationships among three key aspects of the language learning process, namely, foreign language boredom (FLB), English language engagement (ELE), and academic buoyancy (AB), utilizing data collected from 2,992 Chinese language learners. In order to strengthen the accuracy and robustness of the results, we…

Organic chemistry presents a significant obstacle for students seeking entry into health-related professions. Students' ability to develop effective study approaches is an important predictor of success in the course. Herein, we report an investigation utilizing an OCH-adjusted M-ASSIST instrument to assess possible changes in students' study…

Due to the sudden closure of the university following a major earthquake, a mathematics education course was rapidly transformed into a fully online, technology-enhanced learning environment, offering a unique opportunity to examine how pre-service middle school mathematics teachers engage with mathematical modeling tasks within a flipped learning…

The parent educational process was developed by implementing Participatory Action Research (PAR), using Contemplative Education and Positive Psychology Coaching approaches. Herein, our aim is to promote emotional well-being for preschoolers aged 3-6 years. Participants included 9 parents and 9 preschoolers who were involved in the process for…

This mixed methods study evaluated the effectiveness and implementation quality of the "Virtual?STEM Role Model Connection," a technology enabled role model program designed to boost STEM motivation and academic achievement among underrepresented rural youth. Context and Participants.?From?2021?to?2024, the program linked middle and high…

This article explores how technology can serve as a critical partner in enhancing reflective practice in language teacher education. Drawing on recent studies, it examines the potential of AI tools, digital portfolios, video-based analysis, and online collaborative platforms. The argument hinges on the need to move toward a human-centred…
