Contemporary sciences, including the didactics of science, employ computational simulations as tools in their academic endeavors. The construction and application of these simulations are of interest to didactics as they contribute to shaping new perspectives on scientific activity. Consequently, they warrant special attention in…

The organizational change framework is a tool for understanding and facilitating organizational change and success, grounded in the principles of design thinking and the foundational leadership and organizational wellness (FLOW) model. This article dives into the components of the organizational change framework--collect the information, connect…

This study seeks to enrich our understanding of modeling-based learning (MbL) in kindergarten science education, investigating the influences of different modeling tools on kindergarten child-constructed models and their modeling reasoning. Therefore, this multi-case study aimed at providing in-depth descriptions of how MbL was enacted by 66…

While Bhutanese biology teachers are expected to possess a rich understanding of scientific models, little is known about their perceptions of scientific models. This study, thus, examined Bhutanese biology teachers' perceptions of scientific models. The study recruited one hundred and eleven (N = 111) biology teachers using a total population…

An ongoing discussion is a debate about the benefits of outdoor activities for health, where a narrowness regarding the benefits as a matter of curing or preventing disease has been questioned. Hence, there is an urgent need to theorize further the relationship between outdoor activities and health with robust theoretical frameworks that can guide…

Difficulties regulating emotions have been coined as inherent to autism, possibly even presenting a core difficulty of autism. While several models of emotion regulation have been proposed in the past, in this targeted review article, we aim to map emotion regulation difficulties in autistic individuals within the framework of the extended process…

In this paper, we investigate the conditions under which data imbalances, a common data characteristic that occurs when factor values are unevenly distributed, are problematic for the performance of Coincidence Analysis (CNA). We further examine how such imbalances relate to fragmentation and noise in data. We show that even extreme data…

The "Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education" articulates the ways of thinking, knowing, and doing that are valued in the academic community. Prior to the "Framework," several scholars explored the potential relationship between information literacy and epistemological development, or the ways in which learners…

Workload management for academics within higher education settings has been and continues to be heavily contested and cited by some as a challenge that has proved impossible to satisfactorily decipher. This is especially problematic within postgraduate contexts where academics have multilayered roles and responsibilities that include teaching,…

Given the pervasive influence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) platforms, educators are increasingly confronted with novel challenges, particularly in the context of Globally Networked Learning (GNL) and navigating its concomitant cultural perspectives. Consequently, a salient question confronting international higher education is how…

The hanging rope problem is considered. The rope is subject to rotation with the rotation axis being parallel to the rope. Using a continuum model and the basic principles of dynamics, the differential equation governing the motion is derived. The dynamic equilibrium case without vibrational motion is assumed in deriving the equation. The equation…

Inappropriate behaviors in peer review may involve bullying and can have negative effects on authors and the dissemination of knowledge. In this paper, we have discussed the causes, forms, harms, and potential mitigation measures of bullying in peer review. We call for attention to these behaviors and advocate for future research within a…

This invited review critically examines the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and argues for the integration of Affective Knowledge (AK) as a foundational component in technologically mediated pedagogy. Drawing on recent scholarship in emotional and teacher education, the article identifies a persistent gap in how TPACK…

Missing data presents a significant challenge in Educational Data Mining (EDM). Imputation techniques aim to reconstruct missing data while preserving critical information in datasets for more accurate analysis. Although imputation techniques have gained attention in various fields in recent years, their use for addressing missing data in…

Early-career faculty have the daunting task of navigating the intersection of teaching, research, and service. Early-career faculty development can play a crucial role in supporting the professional development of tenure-seeking faculty. While these programs may introduce and support new faculty to the expectations of their academic roles, limited…
