Recently, there has been a focus on the experiences of students who belong to society's dominant groups. One aspect of this focus is on the resistance to multicultural concepts. While some studies have explored cultural identity as a cause of this resistance, more explorations from a social-pedagogical perspective are needed. This qualitative case…

One hundred and eighty ethnic minority students studying in Hong Kong mainstream schools were found to value "knowledge," "activities," "practice," "product," "inquiry," "process," "feedback," and "technology" in their mathematics learning. To identify these values, a…

In this study, we aimed to better understand the experiences of ethnic minorities within institutions of higher education, especially in areas of conflict.

The importance of mathematics education in preparing students to become successful citizens raises continuous challenges for schools and educational systems, especially in minoritized settings.

Overrepresentation in exclusionary school discipline is extensively documented for certain groups of students, particularly students of colour and those with disability, yet while these groups may overlap, policies that aim to address disproportionality tend to consider equity factors in isolation. The majority of research on overrepresentation,…

For hard-to-survey populations such as ethnic minorities and immigrants, increasing survey response rates is a crucial element of the fieldwork as these populations often show a higher likelihood of not participating compared with the native population.

Cultural and linguistic diversity in educational settings is the new normal internationally. However, domestic research shows that Indigenous Australian students are still not benefiting from school.

Finland has long been culturally and linguistically varied and continues to grow even more diverse every year. However, this heterogeneity has not been reflected in the country's history curriculum, which has traditionally been built on the idea of a homogenous Finnish nation. This study examines the representation of both old and new minorities…

Educational research shows a growing interest in "affect as pedagogy," a concept grounded in feminist studies. This article positions its inquiry at the crossroads of feminist scholarship and the Deleuzian-Guattarian concept of affect. It presents a post-qualitative inquiry that "experiments with'' an agentic assemblage of 76 public…
