Nonprobative but related photos can increase the perceived truth value of statements relative to when no photo is presented ("truthiness"). In two experiments, we tested whether truthiness generalizes to credibility judgments in a forensic context. Participants read short vignettes in which a witness viewed an offence. The vignettes were…

As artists and teachers in a Teacher Training Faculty, we have designed proposals for children that transfer our own experience as creators in the studio to the educational field. In this way, the classroom is configured into a versatile workplace, like the studio, allowing us to carry out and analyse different workshops for children with the aim…

This study explored factors associated with teachers' self-efficacy beliefs in delivering a Tier 2 Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based programme. Participants consisted of 103 teachers (mean age = 38.0 years, SD = 9.63) currently teaching in Singapore mainstream schools. Survey data on self-efficacy beliefs for teaching in general, teachers'…

Notions of consent, including assent and dissent, are paramount ethical considerations in human research, but have different connotations in research involving young children (aged 3 to 8). While discussion surrounding consent in the early childhood literature has progressed from paternalistic views surrounding the need to protect the child, to…

Cognitive load occurs when the demands of a task surpass the available processing capacity, straining mental resources and potentially impairing performance efficiency, such as increasing the number of errors in a task. Owing to its ubiquity in real-world scenarios, the existence of offloading strategies to reduce cognitive load is not new to…

This paper reports on a key representation, a triple number line, designed as part of the first author's doctoral study. The study sought ways to represent multiple constructs of fractions in the context of merging music and mathematics to support learners' understanding of fractions. A problem scenario was designed guided by Realistic Mathematics…

We designed a video-based intervention to prepare preservice teachers to deal with classroom disruptions. Using tandem cases, we produced staged videos showing a functional scenario, in which a teacher deals effectively with disruptive behaviour, and a dysfunctional scenario, in which a teacher's behaviour leads to the escalation and spread of the…

This study explores preservice teacher attributions to children's behaviors portrayed in specific emotion-laden school scenarios. Participants included 178 preservice teachers from three universities. The preservice teachers viewed video vignettes of Black and White child actors in six different school scenarios. Our team constructed two themes…

This interpretivist study investigated the perspectives of Year 10 students who struggled with writing and who attended schools in areas with a low socio-educational index on learning environments for the English learning area. Specifically, students were asked what they believed a positive learning environment in the English classroom to be, how…

Most current statistics courses include some instruction relevant to causal inference. Whether this instruction is incorporated as material on randomized experiments or as an interpretation of associations measured by correlation or regression coefficients, the way in which this material is presented may have important implications for…

In this research-to-resource article, I introduce possible uses of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI, for music education research settings. I discuss the impacts of artificial intelligence on education environments and highlight uses of ChatGPT as a tool, including the role of ChatGPT in information gathering,…

The current study investigated whether age-related changes in the conceptualization of social groups influences interpretation of the pronoun we. Sixty-four 2- and 4-year-olds (N = 29 female, 50 White-identifying) viewed scenarios in which it was ambiguous how many puppets performed an activity together. When asked who performed the activity, a…

Socio-scientific issues provide a great platform to both engage students in scientific topics and assess their understanding of scientific concepts. Nancy R. Singer, Amy Lannin, Maha Kareem, William Romine, and Katie Kline report on the STEM Literacy Project, a three-year National Science Foundation grant that aimed to improve STEM teachers'…

This essay discusses the conflict a compositionist from the US-Mexico border encounters in teaching composition amidst migration. Drawing from Gloria Anzaldúa's autohistoria and autohistoria-teoría, the author articulates "autohistoriando" as a methodology in composition studies to self-fashion their role as a brown compositionist.…

This paper uses speculative methods as a way of imagining futures for higher education in open, non-predictive ways. The complexity and 'unknowability' of the highly technologised, environmentally damaged and politically degraded futures we seem to be facing can mean that our conversations about the future of higher education have a tendency to…
