This article will discuss how Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) elementary school mathematics team helped teachers acquire the knowledge and skills to implement mathematics instruction and the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) 5 competencies concurrently, with the goal of addressing the social and…

Students often identify specific moments or specific individuals who changed the courses of their academic experience, choices of careers, or the paths of their careers. Business schools have attempted to frame these moments and experiences in the form of high-impact practices (HIP). This research examines a live case competition with business…

How to promote the high-quality development of universities from the strategic level is a hot and difficult problem in theoretical research under the background of comprehensive reform of universities in my country. This paper firstly analyzes the outstanding problems and causes of the strategic management of local universities, and then analyzes…

Creating critical mass has become a cornerstorne of science policy on both national and transnational levels. It suggests that once a certain size is reached, exponential growth or accelerated change will occur. In reconstructing theories, policies and practices associated with critical mass, the paper traces the image of critical mass as a size…

The purpose of the study is to determine teachers' perspectives on school competition and its effects on moral development. The research is qualitative and employs the phenomenological methodology. Personal interviews using a semi-structured interview form were utilized to collect the data for the study. The research's study group consists of 12…

College admissions in many countries are based on a centrally administered test. Applicants invest a great deal of resources to improve their performance on the test, and there is growing concern about the large costs associated with these activities. We consider modifying such tests by introducing performance-disclosure policies that pool…

During the pandemic in the United States and United Kingdom (unlike East Asia and parts of Europe), high individualisation and low social responsibility have been associated with an exceptional death toll, the undermining of higher education institutions in marketised systems, and continuing risks to the health of students and staff.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between physical preparation, training sessions (TS) and friendly matches' (FM) demands, and playing status during European Championship (EC). Method: Twelve under-16 (U-16) basketball players performed physical (jumping, agility, aerobic fitness, and lower limb asymmetry index [ASI])…

Background: Coach observation studies have been a mainstay of coaching science research for decades, with a major focus on the use of instruction and feedback by coaches. However, relatively few studies have investigated feedback provided in a live competition setting, with a majority focussing on the training environment. As such, little is known…

With the increase in business transaction types, all sized companies widely use enterprise systems like SAP.

However, studies show many business schools face challenges integrating enterprise systems into curriculum and maintaining integrated…

In a number of advanced market democracies the role of public technical and vocational education and training institutions has been called into question. This is one result of a singular dominant public policy discourse favouring the provision of public services through contracting out in competitive markets. With the limitations of this default…

The pandemic has been (and continues to be) a challenge to public services globally. It revealed that public services that are managed under a neoliberal agenda and thus are evaluated against their cost-effectiveness, are threatened to fail delivering appropriate services to those in most desperate need. This can also be transferred from health…

The present study investigated the commonly accepted view from various sources (e.g., American Psychological Association [APA]), which indicates the significant difficulty in being accepted into a PhD in clinical psychology program. Data were collected (total number of applicants, applicants accepted, and number of accepted students who…

The purpose of these notes is to generalize and extend a challenging geometry problem from a mathematics competition. The notes also contain solution sketches pertaining to the problems discussed.

Comparative education relies on experiences, expertise, data, and criticism derived from multiple contexts and diverse levels to generate insights, facilitate understanding, and explain change. Marked by connectivity, our contemporary era vastly increases the (potential) diffusion of ideas essential for scientific advance. Three interlocking…
