Svensson, Kate; Szijarto, Barbara; Milley, Peter; Cousins, J. Bradley – American Journal of Evaluation, 2018

In the last two years, a growing number of studies have focused on the promotion of students' mental health to address the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Youth-led participatory action research (YPAR) is a theoretical-methodological approach that has been designed to promote positive development (e.g., well-being and health, social-emotional and cognitive development, academic or career advancement) and civic engagement among young people. Although YPAR holds particular promise, there has been…

Van Damme, Dirk – European Journal of Higher Education, 2015
In this paper, I argue for more and better learning metrics in higher education, eventually through an international, comparative assessment of students' learning outcomes. Better learning measures may help to improve transparency in the system by addressing the information asymmetry problem. If not addressed adequately, the lack of transparency…

Lucangeli, Daniela; Fastame, Maria Chiara; Pedron, Martina; Porru, Annamaria; Duca, Valeria; Hitchcott, Paul Kenneth; Penna, Maria Pietronilla – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Even in primary school, mathematics achievement depends upon the efficiency of cognitive, metacognitive and self-regulatory processes. Thus, for pupils to carry out a computation, such as a written calculation, metacognitive mechanisms play a crucial role, since children must employ self-regulation to assess the precision of their own thinking and…
