Adult music learners may expect to be more independent and therefore more inclined to engage in self-directed learning than younger learners; however, adults may not feel encouraged or supported to self-direct. In this qualitative study, the relationships between six adult instrumentalists and their teachers were examined using Grow's Staged…

To contribute pedagogies that reimagine relationships in a more-than-human world I adopt a posthuman approach to map the content and expressions of imagination in a series of pedagogical events on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, Kooyoora, Australia. By working with Bennett's concept of vibrant matter and MacLure's generative data fragments I attend to…

Students' engagement has been a hot topic since the origin of teaching and learning; and is developing rapidly with time and technology. With the recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (e.g, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and 5G), it is a need of the hour to revive its smart use in academia. In underdeveloped…

Despite the consensus about the importance of self-regulated learning for academic as well as for lifelong learning, it is still poorly understood as to how teachers can most effectively support their students in enacting self-regulated learning. This article provides a framework about how self-regulated learning can be activated directly through…

Because of the learning needs of Generation Z (Gen Z) college students, those born between the mid-1990s to the late-2000s, the authors explore how professor-student interactions can be used to drive student success. Face-to-face lectures have served as the backbone to university instruction for decades and in the 2000s were joined by online,…

Eliciting, noticing, and responding to students' sense-making is important for advancing students' understanding and fostering meaningful participation in science. By sense-making, we mean wrestling with ideas, language, experiences, and perspectives in a community to figure out how and why the world works. In the bustle of an elementary…

To overcome a shortage of female faculty members for teaching female students in a gender-segregated educational system, Saudi Arabian universities have assigned male faculty members to teach female students through videoconferencing. However, female students often do not prefer videoconferencing, and it does not reach an optimal level of…

This study explores and illuminates tutors' experiences of their teacher-student relationships within one-to-one alternative provision. A positive teacher-student relationship is crucial in enabling students who have been excluded from school, or are at risk of exclusion, to have positive outcomes. Yet, teachers have struggled with the emotional…

Students with disabilities are continuously challenged in the classroom by educators' lack of knowing and these moments can lead to academic trauma. Through restorative justice practices a hearing faculty member and a Deaf+ student find common ground to unpack a challenging semester together. Using scholarly personal narrative methodology and…

With the increasing student diversity, the establishment of inclusive classrooms has become a top concern of policy-makers worldwide urging teachers to differentiate their instruction according to students' individual learning needs. As the implementation of differentiated instruction (DI) relies mainly on teachers, previous research has mostly…

The notion of pedagogy tends to be understood as the domain of teachers, this is a reductive way of thinking about pedagogy. Instead, in this paper I explore the heteroglossia of pedagogy through the Deleuzian-Guattarian notion of assemblage. Through this approach, pedagogy is an open debate which needs to involve students to co-create the…

Feedback provided by mathematics teachers usually addresses procedural skills and, to a much lesser extent, other competencies such as conceptual understanding or engagement in mathematical practices. As most previous literature has studied feedback provided on homework or video prompts, how teachers provide such feedback in the classroom is…

It is widely recognised that technology, including social media, has many positive benefits in education although online technologies, particularly imprudent use of social networking sites, may also present problems for those seeking employment as a newly qualified teacher (NQT). To counter this, trainee teachers are provided with guidance on the…

What is the nature and what is the role of trust between teacher and student in academic education at school? Providing a philosophically informed answer to these questions is the aim of this paper. In its first part, I present a relationship account of trust based on two fundamental assumptions: first, trust between teacher and student is…

Researchers from the Happy Teacher Project found that many early childhood teachers experience stress and demonstrate lack of well-being at rates and levels that threaten the quality and sustainability of the workforce. Further, working with children exposed to trauma adds significant emotional and physical burden on teachers who already struggle…
