With the exponential rise in scientific research as a result of the spread of information technology, there is an emerging need to process and systemize the information contained in such publications in both national and international settings. The academic journals, in paper as well as electronic forms, are the most used channels of academic…

Education inevitably influences society and our future. As literature and experience tells, educational leaders impact not only their institutions, but ultimately the learning outcomes for a large portion of society's members. Educational leaders are charged with more than creating a viable future for an institution; they are also charged with…

This powerful resource is for researchers and educational leaders who are interested in understanding and applying research methods that emphasize youth voice. The authors argue that most educational research either omits critical understandings of youth or, even worse, presents inaccuracies due to faulty techniques. Researching how youth…

The concept of community schools can be traced back to the early 20th century when industrialization, immigration, and urbanization were rapidly increasing, and public schools in cities were struggling to meet the social and civic needs of students from low-income families. In the 1960s and 1970s, advocacy groups promoted community schools as a…

Scholarly journals shape adult education research, disseminate knowledge, and serve readers worldwide. Journals' success depends on peer reviewers, yet editors face challenges securing reviewers. We discuss the galvanizing role of journals and issues contributing to reviewer reluctance. We explore strategies to encourage participation in the adult…

The existing Western modern worldviews (i.e., post/positivism) or Western induced paradigm(e.g., critical and postmodern) seem insufficient for ensuring harmonious learning spaces in the context of the continuous professional development of Nepali school teachers. In this paper, we discuss context-responsive sociocultural perspectives of multiple…

In this article, I examine an ongoing qualitative and ethnographic research project in a transnational, multilingual setting. I am not primarily a queer scholar, nor do I study queer issues, gender, or sexuality, as a primary focus in my research agenda or career. However, I am the primary research instrument in these projects, and I am also a…

Although the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly developed, there has been little research to review, describe, and analyse the trends and development of empirical research on AI-supported language learning. This paper selected and analysed 25 empirical research papers on AI-supported language learning published in the last 15 years.…

Obesity is a prevalent and ever-expanding issue across the country which affects many aspects of the afflicted lives. Schools can help combat the spread of obesity through the frequency of contact with students and the implementation of physical activity via physical education. However, many districts understaff and underfund physical education.…

In the field of school-based outdoor education, researchers claim that pre-service teachers should already be provided with basic knowledge, skills, and methods for teaching curriculum-based content outdoors in their initial schoolteacher training. The present review aims to summarize and structure the variety of topics in the literature regarding…

Chinese students' outstanding performance in several rounds of PISA tests has attracted extensive attention on Chinese teacher professional development practices and system. The school-based teaching research system has evolved for many years in China and became a mature and systematical model for improving teaching quality. However, this system…

Researchers, theorists, and practitioners have expressed a renewed interest in the longitudinal dynamics of personality characteristics in adulthood, including organic life span trajectories and their amenability to volitional change. However, this research has apparently not yet expanded to include the Dark Triad (psychopathy, narcissism,…

The present epilogue, concluding a special issue on the development of our field in lesser-known geographical contexts, takes the opportunity to air some of the author's personal views. After all, with the publication of this issue, his years as editor of Paedagogica Historica are over. In a sense, therefore, the reflections brought here are…

Taking an oppositional approach to the whiteness of teacher education research, I challenge critiques of self-study in teacher education as insufficient for the fundamental transformation of teacher education. Drawing from critical race theory, I posit that the stories and self-studies of Black, Indigenous, and other teacher educators of Colour…

Including students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in general education is a common practice today. However, there are relatively few mathematics interventions for students with ASD in secondary education. There is also a lack of literature exploring mathematics interventions that reflect grade-level academic requirements and are adapted for…
