The most important and general aim of the education system is to edify students, epistemically speaking. However, it is a sad reality that the education system is sometimes a corruptive epistemic environment in which a variety of epistemic injustices occur. In this article, I first argue that the special character of educational institutions means…

High quality student outcome measures provide the foundation for effective learning assessment. These outcomes can be organized into different categories, such as skills or habits of mind, and evidence types, such as direct or indirect. Prevailing models of assessment, however, focus only on the distinction between direct and indirect evidence…

The present study addressed the effects of becoming aware of being at an authentic historic place both on affective reactions and acquisition of information about the relevant historic events. The study was conducted in a research institute located in a former National Socialist (NS) clinic, thus holding an authentic historic dimension, while at…

Students must develop higher order cognitive skills (HOCS) that allow them to think critically and use their learning in novel situations. However, little is known about how including HOCS in teaching and assessment affects students' perception of learning. We combine quantitative and qualitative data to determine whether the inclusion of HOCS and…

With a sample of 470 kindergarten teachers in Hong Kong, this study first examined these teachers' emotion regulation strategies assessed by a newly adapted scale, the Kindergarten Teacher Emotion Regulation Scale. Then, the study adopted a person-centred approach and conducted the latent profile analysis, identifying different profiles of…

When aligned with career pathways and other education and training programs in the community, IET programs offered in prisons and jails enable participants to make significant progress toward their education and training goals that can be continued after release. This guide summarizes lessons learned from the IET in Corrections project and serves…

Online learning has become an integral part of students' learning, and the development of internet-specific epistemic justification (ISEJ) has considerable significance in promoting learners' online learning effectiveness. This study aimed to explore the roles of college students' grades, learning media preference, online learning engagement…

After their launch by the UN in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been seen as landmarks for global survival.

This systematic review examines the structure and implementation strategies of PBL courses in legal education. Through a comprehensive…

This article addresses the transformative potential of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize human potential by making education more efficient and effective. We describe a new teaching method called "Dynamic Personalized Learning." In this method, AI dynamically provides feedback and adjusts the level and pace of…

In this paper, I aim to showcase and texture the reasons why children's autonomy is a topic worth revisiting in schools. I advance the premise that student autonomy is a necessary condition for well-being and argue that children's capacities for autonomy are as broad and important as adult capacities and requirements for autonomy. New…
