Background: During transport to and from outdoor education field trips, students experience a period of togetherness and minimal imposed structure. Transport time also appears to align with Oldenburg's third places, where people spend time together without a particular agenda. Purpose: To examine educators' perspectives on the contribution that…

This study explored students' time use and focused on the relationship between student employment and other activities. It considered time use from two competing ideas of zero-sum and resource expansion. A zero-sum perspective assumes an inherent trade-off between time spent working and available time for other activities. A resource expansion…

Adults remember items with shared contexts as occurring closer in time to one another than those associated with different contexts, even when their objective temporal distance is fixed. Such temporal memory biases are thought to reflect within-event integration and between-event differentiation processes that organize events according to their…

The present study explored the public conceptualization of creativity on Twitter through co-listed hashtags associated with #creativity in a million tweets. Exploratory Graph Analysis was used to identify a network of semantic clusters, and a pre-trained language model yielded the sentiment of the underlying tweets. The semantic clusters reflect…

Purpose: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition including persistent challenges with social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behavior. Though prospective memory failures are commonly observed in ASD population it has been less studied among adults with ASD. Prospective memory (PM) refers to the…

When making inferences about the mental lives of others (e.g., others' preferences), it is critical to consider the extent to which the choices we observe are constrained. Prior research on the development of this tendency indicates a contradictory pattern: Children show remarkable sensitivity to constraints in traditional experimental paradigms,…

In the context of global concerns about teacher workload and the relationship between workload and attrition, understanding the nature, quantity and intensity of teachers' work is an essential first step in formulating robust solutions to this significant problem. Understanding teachers' work, however, is a complex undertaking, and prior attempts…

Research Findings: Prior research has demonstrated the importance of young children's executive functioning (EF) skills for their success in schooling and beyond. However, the field lacks an understanding of how children's EF skills manifest in context. In the present study, we relate children's classroom off-task behavior to their EF skills.…

The main purpose of this article is to describe and analyse time in schools from an everyday aesthetics perspective. Expanding on current scholarship, the article calls attention to the way everyday sensory experiences in schools models time in peculiar ways that have serious educational implications. On the one hand, based on the work of Katya…

This empirical study aimed to identify strategies for improving the effectiveness of hybrid learning within the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programme in accounting. The PGCE is offered through two modes, full-time and part-time, to accommodate the varying needs and circumstances of students. Full-time students are required to…

Contextual shifts are crucial for episodic memory, setting event boundaries during event segmentation. While lab research provides insights, it often lacks the complexity of real-world experiences. We addressed this gap by examining perceptual and conceptual boundaries using virtual reality (VR). Participants acted as salespeople, interacting with…

In the digital-driven workplace, individuals are required to multitask frequently while maintaining high levels of creativity to stay indispensable. But does multitasking promote or hinder creative process engagement? Utilizing the stressor-detachment model, this study examines the links between multitasking and creative process engagement.…

Although there is substantial evidence in the literature regarding the relationship between job resources and work engagement, the direction and timing of these relationships remain unclear. In this regard, the present study aimed to examine the time-lagged and concurrent reciprocal relationships between job resources and work engagement. To…

The rise of online and hybrid learning in universities, especially due to the pandemic, has not only revolutionized how students learn, but also blurred the boundaries between work, school, and leisure activities because of the pervasive use of technology surrounding students in their daily lives. The purpose of this study is to investigate, using…

Introduction: The "Programma Perspectief" intervention aims to provide optimal support to people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities. Knowledge concerning intervention fidelity is outdated and scarce as is typical for the support of persons with special needs. Methods: An survey amongst care professionals (n = 62)…
