In this reflective article, we offer innovative approaches to creating opportunities for leadership learning through questioning the intentions versus impacts of leading short-term study abroad courses. We consider the critical relevance of approaching a course like this from a learning disposition--recognizing our roles as learners, as well as…

In early childhood classrooms, increased pressures to prioritize literacy acquisition skills have shifted learning environments from more open-ended and exploratory to regulatory in nature particularly in the field of literacy. Despite that research suggests the important role of exploratory and agentic literacy practices, the field is…

Given the important role of feedback in student learning, this scoping review investigated how feedback has been conceptualised and examined, and how the teacher and student have been positioned in feedback processes in physical education (PE) research. Following recommended processes for conducting a scoping review, 110 papers were included, and…

Thomas J. Capretta, Jingyang (Max) Zhang, Eric M. Anderman, and Barbara J. Boone revisit Joyce Epstein's 1995 Kappan article on overlapping spheres of influence and family-school partnerships. They highlight one idea from the article that has been largely overlooked -- the role of student voice and leadership. To refocus researchers' and…

Since South Africa's first democratic election in 1994, the student leadership profile has changed dramatically at historically white universities (HWUs). Given the postapartheid South African context where this study was conducted, and how participants navigate multiple role identities within a multicultural setting, the article elucidates…

The research explores community orientation (CO) perceptions and their potential outcomes within a higher education context. The study follows a three-step approach that draws from service marketing, organization theory, and higher education literature. Subsequently, a qualitative approach is adopted to develop the research model, followed by a…

Student agency is often mentioned as a key feature of feedback practices. Commonly, the concept of agency is used to refer to students' active role in the process of seeking, receiving, generating and acting upon feedback information. However, the notion of what student agency means is often taken for granted and rarely elaborated. The feedback…

Intentional emergence (IE) as a pedagogy centers students in learning and calls for the educator or facilitator to take a different role. It is important for educators to mindfully regulate their presence in the classroom to allow students to notice the role of authority in leadership practice. This article provides recommendations for productive…

Involving students in the design of their educational experience is increasingly being understood by higher education institutions to enhance learning, to build a better culture, and to foster inclusivity, amongst a host of other benefits. Accordingly, institutions are trialling a range of students-as-partners practices. There is currently huge…

Teacher educators have focused on designing learning environments 'for' rather than 'with' teacher candidates. However, a co-design collaboration with teacher candidates has been recently suggested as a critical feature for effective teacher education programs. In this study, a co-design team, including preservice science teachers (PSTs) as…

Despite their growing presence, student members of school boards remain relatively neglected in extant research. Drawing on notions of situational and institutional power, this study examines how seven U.S. student members of the board enacted their roles during the challenging 2020-21 school year and how adults responded. Findings highlight not…

Models-based practice is a standards-based way of teaching where the teacher becomes familiar with multiple different ways (i.e., model) of delivering a unit of instruction. A teacher well versed in multiple models can select the model that best promotes the intended learning outcomes of the unit. However, there is very little evidence that…

The Learning Assistant (LA) model trains undergraduate student leaders to enhance student learning and engagement by supporting the classroom with research-based instructional strategies. Many disciplines in the life sciences that implemented the LA model reported increased learning gains and decreased performance gaps. However, the model is…

The supervision of degree theses is one of several institutional practices in higher education that are regulated by various systems of rules. However, the social roles involved in the practices may still be largely based on interpretation, negotiation and personal choice. Research on supervision has primarily targeted the doctoral level, but the…

This study aims to present a literature review on the phenomenon of higher education co-creation, converging the marketing and management literature with the education literature. We used the systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, resulting in the analysis of 61 articles obtained from the "Scopus" and "Web of Science"…
