International education is a current phenomenon characterized by an influx of international students from multiple countries into Malaysian universities. The highest number of international students at Malaysian universities is from China. The growth in the number of international students has led to an increasing diversity of cultural practices…

In this essay, justice-oriented educators Lauren B. Cattaneo and Wendi N. Manuel-Scott take up Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 call to academics to join the ranks of the "creatively maladjusted," recognizing that education is a perennial site of struggle, particularly in times of social upheaval. In detailing King's call for maladjustment…

Multisensory environment is a setting designed with activities and tools that offered sensory stimulation. Despite their widespread use, no evidence-based guidelines are currently available. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the impact of multisensory environment interventions in autism and to provide guidelines. We included all…

In the absence of appropriate transition planning practices to promote a smooth transition process, successful transition from vocational education to post-school settings can be particularly challenging for students with disabilities (SWDs). This study was conducted to explore vocational teachers' perceptions on challenges related to the…

This study seeks to explore the impact of learning scenarios on pre-service science teachers' (PSSTs) perceptions of constructivist learning and their dispositions toward instructional technologies. Adopting a single-group pretest-posttest experimental design, a quantitative research methodology was employed. The participants consisted of…

This study sought to identify social and emotional traits and characteristics of wellbeing and resilience gained from participation in instrumental music in secondary schools in Victoria, Australia. This involved exploring student perceptions concerning learning experiences and relationships in instrumental music lessons and ensemble activity in…

This study examined school outness, school climate, and country inclusivity to assess their associations with bias-based bullying and cyberbullying among sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) in Europe in 2020-2021 (N = 12,764; M[subscript age] = 16.07; 69% female; 43% cisgender girls; 31% bisexual). Outness was positively related to bias-based…

This study examined parents' engagement in learning activities with their preschool-aged children and the frequency of that engagement during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Purpose: While women earn an equal proportion of undergraduate degrees in biomedical engineering, there is a significant decline in female representation at the graduate and faculty levels. Prior studies suggest that an inclusive environment could increase female retention in engineering, and there has been increased interest in adding elements of…

The use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools for educational purposes is rapidly becoming widespread. Having a negative attitude may lead to the failure of the integration of these tools. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors that affect students' attitudes towards GenAI tools. In this context, our current study aims to…

The current study examines the role of classroom quality in predicting learning behaviours among preschoolers experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage and developmental concerns (N[subscript children] = 267, N[subscript educators] = 97). All children were identified with developmental concerns in one or more areas (language, cognition, and/or…

Over the past decade, augmented reality (AR) has gained traction in geometric learning for its pedagogical potential. However, research on how learners engage with different AR technologies and when and how to incorporate them has remained largely unexplored. Employing a learning analytics approach, this study investigates the impact of…

Major switching is a common occurrence in higher education institutions worldwide, with over one-third of students changing their academic focus at least once during their undergraduate studies. However, there is limited understanding of the extent to which switching majors influences academic performance and how this process unfolds within a…

Although Philadelphia's nineteenth-century public school system was praised by some contemporaries for its efficient administration, the city's sudden embrace of clinical discourse and "bottom-up" hygienic initiatives between 1896 and 1898, along with critical reports on poor sanitary conditions by the early 1910s, suggest underlying…
