The literature review presented here focuses on this adaptive process, summarising research on…

Bringing learning through play pedagogies to schools and children requires major investments in teacher professional development (TPD) that builds teachers' understanding of the value of learning through play, enables them to build and practice strategies and skills to support learning through play in the classroom, and supports their ongoing…

The transition from higher education to the labour market is considered an important and uncertain life stage wherein young adults exchange an academic environment for an often-chaotic entry into the labour market. Specifically, for graduates with a lower socioeconomic status (SES), this transition involves several difficulties. Investigating…

Teacher absenteeism has high individual and societal costs and triggers a vicious cycle by increasing teacher absenteeism for the remaining teachers. Moreover, teachers' non-attendance disrupts the learning process and affects student motivation and achievement. Teacher absenteeism further exacerbates the increasing teacher shortage observed in…

A rapidly growing body of research spanning several scientific disciplines and countries converges to show that mental health problems among students are an increasing challenge for higher education institutions. Mental health problems among students threaten academic performance, degree completion and student well-being. Structural efforts aimed…

Due to the difficulty of chemical compounds to visualize, augmented reality (AR) integrated with mobile learning has been developed as an alternative media for studying chemistry. This study aims to analyze the use of AR-integrated mobile learning in chemistry education from a bibliometric perspective in the last decade. A total of 225 articles…

This article reviews the developing literature on antiracist education and the emerging frameworks for recognizing racism in educational spaces. Much of the literature draws on critical race theory as the underlying framework to conceptualize race and racism. Many scholars emphasize the need for antiracist practices in K-12 education.

This essay was invited upon the receipt of the American Psychological Association Division 15's Career Achievement Award for Distinguished Psychological Contributions to Education in 2021. I propose that modern education should prepare students to continue learning so they can adapt to changing times, circumstances, and knowledge bases. A key step…

Research on classroom motivational climates and microclimates--students' shared and idiosyncratic perceptions of motivational classroom features--demonstrates their importance for fostering adaptive motivational and achievement-related outcomes. However, a lack of coherent theoretical guidance about the nature of students' classroom climate…

Learning environments can benefit from the enactive concept which considers human and technological aspects as coupled together so that interaction is seen as a cycle of perceptually guided actions. Although existing literature reviews have been conducted to address the use of technologies in enactive learning environments, we observe they do not…

The metaverse has the potential to revolutionise education in several ways. It can provide students with immersive learning experiences, allowing them to explore and interact with virtual worlds and objects that are difficult or impossible to replicate in the real world. Yet, studies investigating the impact of the metaverse on students' skills…

Over the last 20 years, we have learned much about the extent to which early-life deprivation affects the mental health of children and adolescents. This body of evidence comes predominantly from studies of children raised in institutional care. The Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP) is the only randomized controlled trial designed to…

As colleges and universities work to address unwelcoming campus climates for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff, scholars must reflect on extant literature to propose future possibilities to address institutional inequities. This qualitative content analysis employs a critical queer framework to investigate how four leading student affairs…
