Cultural variations in affective experiences are observed. Research on positive affect with refined categorizations has been limited. This study examined the Affect Valuation Theory and its measure, the Affect Valuation Index (AVI), using a sample of high school students from rural China (N = 676, M[subscript age] = 16.17 years, SD = 0.94). The…

The flipped classroom approach is an effective alternative to traditional teaching methods. However, further research is necessary to understand its long-term impact. This qualitative research study delved into the prolonged implementation of flipped learning by conducting interviews with professors from various academic institutions across…

Studying abroad has the potential to contribute to wider processes of curriculum decolonisation.
