This research aims to identify the quantity, quality, and condition of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in environmental education in Wisconsin. Researchers surveyed environmental education organizations across the state to collect and disseminate data related to the status and needs of these initiatives, and to identify areas of…

While international students enroll in and matriculate through higher education in the United States for various reasons, no study to date has examined the postgraduate ambitions of international student-athletes concerning their intention to remain in the United States. Accordingly, the present study explored the decisions of former international…

Across the UK, child protection social workers are routinely called upon to assess the likelihood of future significant harm to children. Yet making consistently accurate judgements about what may or may not happen in future can be a difficult task. In a previous study, we tested social workers' abilities (n = 283) to forecast the likelihood of…

This study aimed to determine which type of information source--providing either mathematical or relative data--children aged 5-11 would prefer. Additionally, the study examined how children justified their choices and whether differences existed in their justifications. A total of 837 children participated in the study. The children watched…

Background/Context: Teachers' values and beliefs shape how they make professional decisions. In particular, they shape teachers' decision-making in the face of ethical dilemmas, including dilemmas about grading, promotion, and student support. However, very few studies in teacher professional development (PD) have explored teachers' values-based…

The event of meaning making in fine art studio pedagogy is explored in this paper through the enquiry into the practice of critique (colloquially known as 'crit'). It will seek to understand the role of consensus (in the Kantian sense) and judgement in formative group critique feedback exchanges and how these concepts interplay with the concept of…

This dissertation investigates how early career teachers' orientations of students and their mathematical activity, as surfaced their experience in a simulation, can reveal when their well-intentioned decisions might negatively impact traditionally underserved students. Three early career teachers engaged in two online simulations where they could…

Classroom management is one of the main difficulties encountered by teachers. One way of improving this situation is to implement classroom management strategies that have been validated by scientific research. The purpose of this research is to study the classroom management strategies declared by a sample of novice teachers, and the sources of…

Education has undergone radical transformation as a result of the digital era, and educational leaders' roles and responsibilities have been redefined. This study addresses the critical need to understand how leaders navigate challenges and embrace opportunities in this dynamic landscape. 161 leaders in various positions within higher institutions…

Purposeful questioning is one of the most important elements to promote successful mathematics understanding (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014; Ontario Ministry of Education, 2011). Questioning helps teachers to elicit, interpret, and respond to student thinking (Stein et al., 2008) and supports students' understanding,…

The acoustic characteristics typical of mainstream schools in England make it challenging for deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children to perceive speech but assistive listening technologies can enhance speech perception. In this study, we explored decision making for the purchase and allocation of assistive listening technologies by heads of…

As found in behavioral decision theory, venture capitalists (VCs) rely on heuristics and bias, owing to their bounded rationality, either by limited alternatives or information and resources. India's booming startup scene challenges VCs in decision-making owing to information overload from numerous evolving ventures, which hinders informed…

Research on higher education policy in the United States often seeks to understand commonalities across state contexts to understand broader concepts influencing decision-making. However, this minimises the importance of abstract and distinct factors impacting policy processes within a state. While researchers in other fields attribute these…

How do teachers decide when and how to help their students if not explicitly asked to do so? Based on conversation analysis of 14 h of video-recorded small group interactions in secondary schools, we discovered that teachers and students orient to subtle actions built through embodied conduct, to decide whether or not assistance is needed. We also…

In two experiments, we examine how features of an imperfect automated decision aid influence compliance with the aid in a simplified, simulated nautical collision avoidance task. Experiment 1 examined the impact of providing transparency in the pre-task instructions regarding which attributes of the task that the aid uses to provide its…
