Hopper, Timothy; Sanford, Kathy; Bonsor-Kurki, Sarah – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2012
In this article the authors report on research into how an ePortfolio (eP) process can address the critique that teacher education programs offer fragmented course experiences and too often focus on narrow instrumentalist approaches emphasising the "how to" and the "what works"--implying that learning how to teach is about stitching together…

Popliger, Mina; Talwar, Victoria; Crossman, Angela – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2011
Children tell prosocial lies for self- and other-oriented reasons. However, it is unclear how motivational and socialization factors affect their lying.
