In response to the decline of ethnic minority cultures in the past four decades, the Chinese government implemented measures to introduce cultural content into school practices in order to preserve minority heritage.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) has played an important role in the practice of school psychology. Despite the field's expectation of school psychologists to effectively address student behavior, little attention has been placed on the development of school psychology graduate students' training in ABA.

This research seeks to answer the question of why sociologists teach at community colleges, how they view their choices and how they view the discipline of sociology. I theorize that contrary to community college teaching being a "fall back" position, many sociologists actively seek those positions deliberately to enact social justice…

Academic advising is a critical component of student success, retention, and completion. The advising process is vital to the success of community college students and serves as a tool for connecting students with faculty. Faculty advisors are often immersed in the college culture and are highly familiar with discipline and institutional…

By highlighting the curriculum modifications that lead to maintaining, or enhancing, the mathematical quality of an algebra lesson introducing the substitution method for solving systems of equations from an algebra textbook, we present an analysis of how a teacher and her students impact how the mathematical ideas unfold across the lesson and how…

We live in an increasingly interdependent and interconnected world. The COVID-19 crisis has provided a stark reminder of the enormous educational inequities within and across countries around the globe. Featuring international language and literacy researchers who apply various tenets of global meaning making to disrupt and interrogate…

Carcerality is more than a physical occurrence, but a lasting psychological, spiritual, and emotional state of being that gets in the body and directs how one may move in and through the world. As a contour of whiteness, carcerality normalizes ways of being that are consistent with rationality and reason privileging mind over body; intellectual…

This paper comprises the results of a design study that aims at developing a theoretically and empirically based learning trajectory on statistical inference for 9th-grade students. Based on theories of informal statistical inference, an 8-step learning trajectory was designed. The trajectory consisted of two similar four step sequences: (1)…

The public university in the global South continues to be trapped in an existential slumber, struggling to self-define/self-diagnose its purposes, rationales, goals and agenda(s). Despite the emergence of the #FeesMustfall, #RhodesMustFall, and more recently the #Asinamali student protests, South African higher education continues to adopt…

"Symbiosis," meaning "with" and "living," describes an ecological relationship between two organisms from different species that is sometimes, but not always, beneficial to both parties. One such relationship is mutualism, which is a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. In a mutualistic symbiotic relationship,…

Time is intrinsic in all forms of education. A growing body of educational research has begun examining time as something more than a context within which teaching and learning happen. While much of the existing research has tended to focus on either 'objective' clock time or 'subjective' time as experienced by individual teachers or students,…

The increasingly complex socio-technical and economic challenges of our time place considerable pressure on engineering programmes. To ensure that graduates are well-prepared to address these challenges requires curriculum developers to select the appropriate knowledge for the engineering programme. A number of key theorists, notably from the…

This paper presents the perceived satisfaction of undergraduate students of translation and interpreting who have taken part in the creation of a multilingual, accessible and inclusive audio guide for the Faculty of Arts at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). A selection of students carried out the translation and proofreading of texts…

Contextualizing the role of teachers in social-emotional learning (SEL) in Malawi, we examine how teachers' "comfort" with, "commitment" to, and perceived school "culture" toward SEL relate to their actual teaching of it. Using surveys from 432 primary school teachers (20-60 years old), we found teacher…

Project-based learning (PjBL) is seeing increasing scholarly interest and pedagogical use in higher education, but instances of PjBL do not necessarily seek the same educational outcomes. Using the grounded theory method, the authors plot five courses in a PjBL program on a matrix of course design characteristics ranging from Fixed to Flexible and…
