Namely, the embodied-lived present is always inferior compared to the hypothetical ideal future. Education and its promise hence carry the seed of inevitable disenchantment. This problem is examined based on two…

The article presents the results of an experimental study on the motion of a neodymium magnet on an inclined duralumin plate. During experiments, the time of motion was measured, and the steady-state velocity of the magnet motion was determined. To measure the time, a robotic set was used, which made it possible to measure the time of the motion…

Principals often have administrative duties that take them away from instructional leadership and other big-picture ideas and changes. And yet, "running a smooth ship" and effectively managing those day-to-day operational tasks might actually make school leaders better. Hochbein looks at 100 years of research about how principals spend…

Participation in the modern U.S. economy requires that most workers have education and training beyond high school, with over 60 percent of all jobs and 80 percent of middle-class jobs requiring some level of postsecondary education. This report draws upon data from the 2012/14 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:12/14) to…

This study considered how hybrid working impacts the management of menopause symptoms in HE Professional Services (PS) employees. The evidence suggested that work was affected by menopause symptoms and poor workplace control increased symptom severity. Participants adapted their working environment and employed compensatory actions to perform…

The aim is to determine the predictive effect of Satisfaction/Fun, boredom, the importance of Physical Education (PE) classes, and intention to engage in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) on the level of physical activity (PA) in primary school children. This is a cross-sectional causal study. A total of 519 children from the states of Jalisco…

While loneliness for short periods of time is normal, prolonged loneliness has severe health risks. This study aims to discover what loneliness trajectories can be found in a cohort of adolescents, how belongingness to different groups may be associated with these trajectories, and the mental, physical, and academic consequences of these…

Composing narrative text is complex, requiring development of knowledge of genre specific and general writing knowledge, and the ability to sequence and convey real or imagined experiences, reactions, and an effective ending. Teachers, however, typically do not receive adequate professional learning needed for effective instruction in narrative…

The decline in doctoral program completion has become one of the main challenges in doctoral education worldwide.
