An issue devoted to foundational skills and adolescents might center the cognitive skills and practices most needed to accelerate learning. While an understanding of these--whether multisyllabic decoding, fostering comprehension through discussion, or argumentative writing--is important, in this article, we advocate for the importance of attending…

This study examined how academic programs administrate their internships, including implementing and executing their philosophy and internship rationale, and connecting with and managing relationships with internship agencies while accounting for contextual information (e.g., geography, size, and research vs. teaching focus). Using a case-study…

Humans routinely use external thinking tools, like pencil and paper, maps, and calculators, to solve cognitive problems that would have once been solved internally. As many youth face unprecedented exposure to increasingly capable technological aids, there is a growing pressure to understand children's cognitive offloading capacities and…

Online higher education is by no means a new phenomenon but, with the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020, attention was refocused on the capacity of online teaching and learning to meet students' affective and social needs. Positive relationships support these needs but can be challenging to develop when working online. Attending to the…

The neurocognitive mechanisms underlying prevalent learning disorders, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and their comorbidity, remain unclear and are the subject of ongoing debate. The core-deficit hypothesis has long been the dominant theory explaining these mechanisms across various learning disorders. However, this hypothesis faces criticism for…

A core challenge for any organization is to create highly functioning teams that creatively and effectively find solutions to complex challenges. The authors propose the foundation of creating such teams is for the team to develop a shared understanding of the requisite knowledge of everyone on the team and then recombine that knowledge to find…

The work of John Dewey continues to challenge educators whose work is to put theory into practice in the classroom. In the United States and elsewhere, a popular impression of Dewey and progressive education is that of inductive, child-centered pedagogy, but his writings in Democracy and Education--as well as in subsequent re-writings of previous…

Research paradigms offer a way for scholars to design, communicate, and reflect on their research effectively. A paradigm encapsulates the researcher's worldview, including the epistemology, ontology, and axiology of the research. Researchers are often initiated, whether explicitly or implicitly, into particular paradigms through graduate study.…

Significance importance continues to be attributed to inclusion of work-integrated learning (WIL) in Higher Education Institutions' (HEI) curriculum with acknowledgement of the role it plays in enhancing students' learning experiences. However, in Uganda, HEIs implement WIL without stipulated policies to guide its implementation and inclusion.…

This study explores the mental lexicon of Polish learners of Spanish as a foreign language (L2) through a qualitative analysis of lexical availability. Based on prototype theory and semantic network models, it analyzes learners' responses to two thematic prompts--'The Human Body' and 'The City'--to explore lexical associations, prototypicality,…

Positive psychology has significantly influenced educational organizations by promoting well-being, resilience, and engagement among students and educators. Research and real-world examples highlight how integrating positive psychology into curriculum, instruction, and assessment can foster personal and academic growth. By prioritizing student,…

Purpose: Promoting strong entrepreneurial intention (EI) among students is essential for nurturing young entrepreneurs. However, the factors influencing EI are often inconsistent, weakening its development. This study explores how entrepreneurship-focused experiential learning prepares the necessary resources to cultivate EI. It examines the role…

The question of integrating learning content into a serious game is a recurring one, although no clear theoretical framework has yet been provided. It is often argued that integration should occur at the core mechanic level, but this simple statement conceals the complexity of serious game design. The authors therefore propose a theoretical…

Metacognition refers to the monitoring and control of one's own cognitive processes. The positive impact of metacognition on learning and academic performance has been extensively studied. However, metacognition is not a unitary construct; it is composed of interrelated facets, such as knowledge about one's cognitive processes and products…

This article outlines an active learning exercise that gives students the opportunity to learn and apply the behaviors of transformational leadership theory. Students watch a brief, prerecorded "before" video depicting transactional manager--employee interactions. Students then revise the script so that the manager exhibits the four I's…
