In this paper we identify and systematically analyse research regarding student voice in the classroom, with the aim of suggesting areas and questions to strengthen the research base. The introductory section presents a rationale for, and definition of, voice, followed by details of how the systematic analysis was conducted. A consideration of…

The teaching model in which students and teachers come together in a physically surrounded school environment face to face was the only teaching model until the 1990s. Technological developments first showed their effects in higher education in the 1990s and online teaching method started to become widespread. Today, it is not possible to ignore…

This study connects to the term 'emotional labour', coined by [Hochschild, A. R. (1983) 2003. "The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling." 2nd ed. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press], and explores how skin and spa therapy students are constructed as emotional workers in learning processes surrounding the body.…

There has been a movement across South Africa's education sector to widen access and participation in higher education. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) (or Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)) programmes offer an opportunity to do so by providing access to higher education to those who do not necessarily have the prerequisite requirements. Many…

College students enrolled in a reading support course were asked to (a) read a short text, (b) listen to a second text, and (c) read + listen to a third text and answer multiple-choice comprehension questions about each text. Each condition employed a self-study format allowing for constant availability of text input and extra time to revisit text…

The purpose of this research is to investigate the opinions of future teachers on their experience using "Socrative" exit tickets in the university classroom. For this purpose, the "Socrative" program was implemented as a learning tool within the education programs of two large universities in Spain, and a questionnaire was…

This study examines how collaborative learning (CL) activities might help to improve student engagement in practical skills acquisition (SEPSA). Using a time lagged data from 205 undergraduate students of Nigerian public universities, the direct effect of CL on SEPSA and the mediating effects of task value, mastery goal orientation and performance…

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, online education had grown steadily over the past decade as more K-12 schools and districts expanded their educational options. This included the use of virtual school days, hybrid learning, and fully online courses. Enrollments in K-12 Online Physical Education (OLPE) had also increased steadily over the past decade,…

This contribution explicitly responds to Agenda No. 5 of the eight challenges posed by the journal editors, which focuses on politics and practice of language learning and teaching. This agenda deserves specific attention in teacher education research because language is a strong indicator of people's identity.

Learning agility is a relatively novel concept and has the potential to be considered an important characteristic of an effective teacher. Thus, a scale to measure it might be beneficial especially for selecting and recruiting teachers. Based on this notion, the purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure the learning agility of…

In Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programmes, non-linguistic content is taught and assessed in an additional language. Hence, CLIL teachers, most of whom are content subject specialists, may encounter difficulties in evaluating students' content knowledge independent of their L2 proficiency and in aligning objectives, instruction…

This review maps the scientific literature on social media as a language learning environment published between 2008 and 2019. Over 1,600 journals from the Scopus database were surveyed and 396 documents were analyzed using bibliometric analysis. The findings indicate that this field of interest has exponentially grown in the past 12 years and is…

By observing, or "noticing," what sparks learning in the classroom, teachers and students alike can cultivate a learning environment centered around personalization and choice. Education experts John Almarode and Paul Emerich France outline strategies for engineering a culture of self-reflection that sets learning in motion.

In the last few decades, lifelong learning has gained favour as an educational paradigm. Inevitably, embedded in social, cultural, and economic contexts, the conceptualization and implementation of lifelong learning across the globe is far from homogenous. In China, although the notion of lifelong learning can be traced to Confucius, the term was…

Feedback is a crucial component of student learning. As advancements in technology have enabled the adoption of digital learning environments with assessment capabilities, the frequency, delivery format, and timeliness of feedback derived from educational assessments have also changed progressively. Advanced technologies powered by Artificial…
