Despite the importance of spatiality in language learning and teaching environments, empirical research in this line is still lacking. Here, we adopt a spatial ontology perspective to examine how seven English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learners and three teachers perceived and experienced three language learning environments. Set in a higher…

Productive struggle (PS) has emerged as a critical construct in mathematics education, emphasizing the importance of persistence, cognitive engagement, and conceptual understanding in problem-solving. However, inconsistencies in its conceptual and operational definitions have hindered its effective implementation and assessment. This study…

The Walter P. Reuther Library, Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs is part of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. An innovative and ground-breaking institution, the Reuther is the largest labor archive in North America. It is home to the official archives of Wayne State University (WSU), several major labor unions including the…

Professional learning communities (PLCs) actioned through collaborative action research (CAR) have been found in the literature to be beneficial for both teachers and students. However, previous studies mainly examined teachers' perceived effectiveness of CAR-based PLCs, as well as identified steps and elements involved in such PLCs, either…

In recent decades, college and university libraries have been called to demonstrate their impact on their institutions' teaching and research missions. One way that libraries can demonstrate their impact is by evaluating how library collections can influence faculty recruitment and retention decisions. This study builds upon an existing study…

This study examined how "Education Week," an education news magazine, represented reading, students, and educators in headlines and images accompanying articles on the Science of Reading. This study drew from multimodal content analysis, thematic analysis, and discourse analysis methods to analyze 87 images from 62 unique articles,…

Success in the competition for external grants has become an important indicator when progressing in academic careers. Drawing on interview data with academics across various career stages and academic fields at one Finnish university, the study identifies four discourses that elucidate why research grants are deemed significant in advancing an…

Epistemologies are understood as ways of knowing that stem from an individual's ontological orientation. Such orientations are intimately tied to personal experiences that educational scholar Gloria LadsonBillings (2001) argued create "systems of knowing" based on majority-normative epistemological stances. In this manuscript, we were…

This article presents a systematic literature review of Bhabha's Third Space theory in empirical research focussing on children (aged 4-12 years) in multicultural educational institutions. Communities around the world are becoming ever more diverse and, within educational policy, there is a resultant paradox between increasing diversity on the one…

Educational neuroscience was born out of the promise that brain imaging would generate discoveries that change how we educate our children. Many neuroscientists and educators alike feel that this promise has not been fulfilled and have begun to question the utility of this nascent field that is arising at the intersection of two well-established…

While existing literature documents the benefits and concerns of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) for learning processes, it largely overlooks fundamental learning theories such as Cognitive Load Theory, Constructivism, Activity Theory, and Bloom's Taxonomy. This study employs a scoping review methodology to identify current research gaps…

Growth in data analytics coupled with transparency movements in higher education has led many colleges and universities to adopt the use of data dashboards that distill large amounts of data into digestible summaries. In this paper, we examine the use of public-facing data dashboards about the profile of a campus community. We refer to these…

This paper dwells upon what was agitated in a research methods workshop that invited postgraduate researchers to take seriously materiality, movement, bodies and affect -- as a starting place to explore how ecopedagogies might become both more capacious and creative. We explored ways to contemplate how generating knowledge -- about education and…

Increasing calls for greater STEM-integrated experiences in K-12 education have spawned numerous studies on teacher beliefs, educational goals, and practices for teaching and learning. However, how the field proposes to support the development of teachers' STEM-integrated disciplinary knowledge appears to be under-researched. In this systematic…

This study introduces a novel Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) platform designed to streamline the peer review process. By analyzing a case study of 10 scientific articles, we demonstrate that GAI effectively evaluates article quality and pinpoints specific areas requiring improvement. Our platform achieves an average similarity of 63.6%…
