Conducting participatory action research (PAR) with people with and without intellectual disabilities presents challenges, primarily due to participants' varying verbal expression and reflective thinking abilities, leading to potential power imbalances and unfair outcomes. This study investigates using the arts to address these issues in a…

In this study, we used an action research approach and quantitative and qualitative data to investigate the need for, implementation of, and outcomes of a mindfulness curriculum with 52 fourth-grade students identified as having gifts and talents.

This research draws on evidence from three qualifications taken in autumn 2020, when comparative judgement (CJ) was used as a key source of data in setting grade boundaries. In these cases, a separate CJ exercise was completed for each individual paper in the qualification so that standards could be maintained from a previous series. In this…

Even though many experimental studies have considered nurturing creativity as an essential advantage in implementing STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, [Arts], and Mathematics) education, there is currently a lack of meta-analysis research on the effect of STE(A)M education on creativity to confirm that STE(A)M education can improve…

In departmentalized elementary schools, teachers specialize in one or more core subjects and instruct different groups of students throughout the day. Proponents argue that this model leads to higher quality instruction because teachers can specialize in their strongest subjects and that it better prepares students for middle and high school,…

Intellectual humility, an awareness and ownership of one's intellectual limitations, is argued as a fundamental component of undergraduate education that influences how individuals process new information, remain open to new experiences, and admit the fallibility of their thinking. This study presents a grounded theory analysis of intellectual…

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a relatively new model of early childhood education, with little evidence on whether and how it affects children's development. This study provides new evidence using data from Michigan, which has the nation's second-largest TK program. Using survey data (N=171) from administrators in 2021-2022, the paper…

In the 21st century, U.S. legislation continues to push for teacher censorship and seemingly depoliticized curriculums that ignore systemic issues regarding race, gender, sexuality, and other social justice topics. With the understanding that texts can never be politically neutral, English language arts (ELA) teachers must adopt critical…

This paper presents a reflective, critical analysis of the original roll-out and implementation of Aistear, the curriculum framework for early childhood education in Ireland, in advance of a forthcoming update. This article considers the methods engaged to implement a national roll-out of Aistear from 2009 and the subsequent availability of…

This article is an evaluative research study, mapping the outcomes of the art and citizenship project Dealing with the real stuff, in which students developed the competences of critical thinking and creative resistance. During this project, Dutch students at a school for compulsory education, aged 15-16 years, studied activist art, participated…

This paper illustrates educators' facilitation of literacy experiences involving children producing multimodal texts using digital and non-digital resources. Given the increasing attention to multimodality in literacy education and a turn to sociomaterial paradigms in literacy education research, our study contributes to an understanding of how…

The purpose of this qualitative project is to examine the use of a noticing assignment in one fourth-grade dual language arts classroom. We, the authors, consider the texts most interesting to students and how these texts relate to humanizing and responsive writing pedagogies. Learning to write in K-12 schooling contexts is often dictated by…
