Music engagement of young adults who are no longer in school is rarely studied in music education in Germany. Our research thus aimed to identify musical practices of young adults and factors influencing these practices. We asked 769 young adults from universities and vocational schools to complete a questionnaire on their musical practices from…

The identity construction of hard-of-hearing language learners has received limited attention in educational research. This study examined how two Chinese English learners navigated hearing impairment and constructed identities in a mainstream educational context. Using positioning theory as a conceptual framework, the study explored their…

In uncertain situations, individuals rely on prior experiences of successes and failures to guide future decisions. Research has shown that children exposed to early adversity, such as abuse, can exhibit atypical behaviours in probabilistic learning tasks compared to peers without such experiences, which may have long-term behavioural…

Arguments relating moral and character education to the field of physical education are not novel. Despite this, there are few studies dedicated to studying how and why physical education teachers use character education in schools. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to address this literature gap by studying how seven teachers employed…

This paper expands on discursive approaches to language policy by incorporating the notion of the lived experience of language (Busch, 2015). More specifically, I analyse young people's lived experience of language education policy by focusing on students in Luxembourg who are educated in a language that is not their main or home language. Indeed,…

The formation of the school community group identity is ensured by the ability of each member to collectively analyze their activities and their consequences. "My class", methods of determining the state of formation of the active self-concepts, and fundamental interpersonal relations questionnaire (FIRO) were used in the study.…

Postmortem body donation (BD) plays a central role in medical education and scientific research. Sociocultural, religious, and legal factors can influence attitudes toward BD. In Italy, BD programs are in early development, and recent legislation (Law 10/2020) regulating body donation came into effect in 2021. Although international surveys have…

Although many students exhibit interest and demonstrate academic preparedness in math and science, a significant proportion of students do not major in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. These students encounter systemic barriers to STEM opportunities related to their intersecting gender and racial/ethnic identities.…

This article examines how carceral logics manifest for undergraduate racialized and disabled students who identify as or have a lived experience of disability. Using Disability Critical Race Theory, a crip-of-color critique, and carceral ableism and sanism as lenses, we challenge color-evasive ideology and explore how services that purport to…

Background/purpose. The role of early childhood education (ECE) teachers is very important in building the foundation of mathematics, such as recognizing counting, patterns, and problem solving. However, many teachers still face challenges in understanding mathematical concepts in depth. This study aims to investigate the level of Mathematical…

Background/purpose: The vocational education course in the basic school stage is an important course. Thus, this study aimed to identify the impact of vocational education (VE) classes on students' attitudes towards vocational and technical learning paths in Jordanian public schools from the perspective of the VE teachers in those schools.…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies have introduced significant changes to higher education, but the role of Embodied GenAI Agents in Mixed Reality (MR) environments is still relatively unexplored. This study was carried out to develop an embodied GenAI system designed to facilitate active learning, self-regulated learning and…
