This study uses the Community Assets and Relative Rurality (CARR) Index--a novel, multidimensional measure of rurality--alongside longitudinal administrative data to examine K-12 teachers in Kansas and Missouri. We find substantial variation in…

Julianne Burgess; William Sarfo Ankomah; Rose Walton; Soheila Shahmohammadi – Journal of Postsecondary Student Success, 2025
The number of mature students in PhD programs in Canada has increased over recent years. While research suggests older adults are more intrinsically motivated and tend to academically outperform their younger peers, studies generally focus on the problems and barriers mature students frequently encounter. The purpose of this research is to fill a…

Lani Freeborn; Sible Andringa; Judith Rispens – Modern Language Journal, 2025
In second language (L2) research, aptitude is typically viewed as a multicomponential, cognitive construct. Yet we know that L2 learning is influenced by multiple learner individual differences (IDs) besides cognitive abilities and that these IDs interact. In this article, we consider the affordances and implications of working toward a broader…
