Purpose: Career education and employability have become Australian university curriculum and pedagogy priorities to meet the changing world of work and federal government parameters linking higher education funding to graduate employment outcomes. This conceptual paper aims to present the hypothesis that emphasis on integrating career education in…

The article analyses in detail two lessons that were part of a larger research project on English teaching in Canada, England and Scotland. It considers whether the two English lessons are by their nature both dialogic and formative in practice. The research undertaken was carried out using arts-based criticism. It found that Eaglestone's notion…

Undeniably omnipresent in our everyday lives, electronic signal compression is a classical example that illustrates the ubiquity of mathematics in high-end technology and sciences. When dealing with piles of files, it is essential that each file takes up as little storage space as possible while maintaining quality. The cloud-based--available…

Even in online and distance formats, multimodal composition can be a means of sustaining culture and engaging children. The Teach Us project combines multimodal composition, family cultural resources, and student voice.

Young children spend a lot of time at home, yet there is little empirical research on how they spend that time and how it relates to developmental outcomes. Prior research suggests less-structured time--where children practice making choices and setting goals--may develop "self-directed" executive function in 6-year-olds. But…

Cohorts are student groups who begin and complete a course of study together over time. Though cohorts have been linked to positive outcomes, researchers note that many students report negative experiences, including scapegoating, irreconcilable conflicts, and strained relationships resulting in unlearning. This paper describes using arts-based…

Value co-creation unfolds as a system of interactions in which the user and service provider play an active role in collaboratively creating values that go beyond economical and financial worth. Value co-creation is a growing trend in museums; however, little is known about how it can enhance educational activities, especially concerning digital…

It is important for individuals to have a rich vocabulary to be able to communicate effectively with their environment and develop their expressive power both in their mother tongue and in a foreign language. In this research, we propose a method to contribute to the teaching of vocabulary and to support the long-term learning of words. In this…

The STEM learning approach, which integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines, is increasing its popularity in all countries. Countries are trying to ensure that students develop their cognitive, affective, and scientific process skills by integrating the STEM learning approach into their education systems. In this…

More older adults are moving toward options for digital connection; keeping up with and learning technology is challenging. Older adults' perceptions of the difficulty of learning to use technology may contribute to their hesitancy to adopt technology options (Barnard, Bradley, Hodgson, & Lloyd, 2013). The purpose of this study was twofold:…

The Improvising Teacher offers a radical reconceptualization of improvisation as a fundamental element of teacher expertise. Drawing on theories of improvisation and expertise alongside empirical research, the book argues that teacher expertise is fundamentally improvisatory. The book provides a theoretical model for teacher expertise that is…

Elementary teachers' mathematical self-efficacy is abundantly important in the mathematical growth in students. Research suggests early career teachers have a low level of self-efficacy in implementing arts integration. The purpose of this study was to examine perceived changes in teacher self-efficacy in implementing arts integration after…

Teachers face multiple stressors in their careers and in their personal lives. These stressors can affect the quality of their performance in the classroom. The more stress experienced by the teachers, the lower the quality of education provided to the students. Existing literature shows that teacher stress can be mitigated by stress management…

The "Computer Science for All" (CS for All) movement launched in 2016, following a decade of increasing support for broadening access to computer science education in K-12. In the years since, it has grown into a broad-based effort to equip all students with the skills they need to thrive in a digital society. CS for All follows a long…

In 2021 the Swiss Teachers' Association (LCH) demanded that extended education offerings (EEO) should be the responsibility of schools and not outsourced, which in turn also implies a new cooperation partner for the schools.
