Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) presents challenges and opportunities for higher education. The challenge is to incorporate the benefits of AI while minimizing its potential for misuse and undermining of learning. The opportunity is that AI allows instructors to assess learning authentically by fostering creative, engaging, realistic,…

Introduction: Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are categorized into three groups (stability, locomotion, and object control) and are crucial for enabling the practice of physical activity in children with physical disabilities. Their development is influenced by the specific nature of each child's disability. FMS can be evaluated by process-…

Quiet eye training, a technique focused on optimizing gaze behavior during critical moments, has shown potential for enhancing motor skill acquisition. This study investigates the effects of quiet eye training in both virtual and real-world environments on dart-throwing learning. The participants consisted of 45 female students who were randomly…

There has been increased focus within the evaluation field on the value of community-engaged research (CER) methods; however, CER is not easily seen as compatible with experimental evaluation methods (or randomized controlled trial, RCT). For instance, in an experimental design, researchers leverage randomization to create a counterfactual; this…

Although the "eye-mind link" hypothesis posits that eye movements provide a direct window into cognitive processing, linking eye movements to specific cognitions in real-world settings remains challenging. This challenge may arise because gaze metrics such as fixation duration, pupil size, and saccade amplitude are often aggregated…

Previous research has found gender inequitable equipment usage across various lab course contexts. Few studies, however, have tested possible remediation strategies. In this work, we use hierarchical linear modeling to compare men and women's lab equipment usage in two group work structures across three course contexts. In one in-person course,…

This research explores the role of sports initiatives, both within and outside educational settings, in the integration of Ukrainian war refugees in Austria, Germany, and England. By analyzing interviews with ten refugees, the study investigates how sports activities influence key aspects of integration, including social cohesion, a sense of…

Many adolescents who experience psychosocial problems do not often seek help. Help-seeking behaviours and intentions are influenced by personal, social, and structural factors, and they differ by gender. Help-seeking has not been investigated in the led outdoor activity (LOA) domain, in which thousands of adolescents participate annually. The…

Talking science is based on the premise of being serious and dignified. Still, both teachers and students use humour when they communicate. However, little is known about the mechanisms of how learning science is constituted when teachers and students are using spontaneous humour in science classroom activities. In this study, we acknowledge this…

This study investigated the factors influencing content creation among Nigerian varsity students and the effect it has on their academic performance and individual improvement. Through interviews and empirical studies, this research looked at the motivations, challenges, and benefits related with content creation among Nigerian library and…

In this case study, I describe combining arts-based research and narrative inquiry to investigate the lived experiences of queer individuals in the Southeastern United States, particularly within the Bible Belt region. The original research aimed to understand how individuals describe their embodied experiences as both queer and Southern and their…

Suzhou Pingtan, a traditional narrative musical art of the Jiangnan region, is facing challenges in transmission due to urbanization, modernization, and the decline in the Suzhou dialect. This study investigates how community engagement contributes to the sustainable transmission of Pingtan by focusing on educational outreach, intergenerational…

Purpose: This article reports on a study that explored how individual factors, such as students' participatory actions and agentic factors, interact with the workplace contextual factors to create workplace learning environments that facilitate or hinder student learning. Design/methodology/approach: The study followed a qualitative approach. It…

Ageism, social isolation, and depression are key societal issues that negatively influence mental health as people age. Public health interventions have been developed to reduce these issues and their negative consequences. Intergenerational arts-based programming is an approach that can not only lower rates of loneliness and depression by…

Using an in-class field experiment, the authors study how cooperative learning affects trust, attitudes about group work, and performance. Students in some classrooms completed in-class quizzes individually, and students in other classrooms completed them in pairs. Completing quizzes in pairs led to higher levels of within-class trust, indicating…
