Self-assessment practices have been advocated in recent Irish educational documents due to their potential to enhance school children's learning and self-regulatory skills.

Keane, Elaine; Heinz, Manuela – Irish Educational Studies, 2015
The homogeneity of the teaching profession is an international phenomenon; teaching bodies are generally from majority-group backgrounds, frequently in contrast to student populations. Research in Ireland suggests a similar situation, yet we lack adequate data describing our national context. Diversifying the teaching population is an…

Boeren, Ellen; Holford, John – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2016
To encourage adult participation in education and training, contemporary policy makers typically encourage education and training provision to have a strongly vocational (employment-related) character, while also stressing individuals' responsibility for developing their own learning. Adults' motivation to learn is not, however, purely…

Nic Fhlannchadha, Siobhán; Hickey, Tina M. – First Language, 2017
An in-depth examination of the acquisition of grammatical gender has not previously been conducted for Irish, an endangered indigenous language now typically acquired simultaneously with English, or as L2.

Participants (N = 197) completed…

James, Deborah; Lawlor, Maria; Murphy, Niamh; Flynn, Ann – Pastoral Care in Education, 2013

Focus group discussions illustrate…

However, rather less is known about Irish school students' involvement in other forms of…

This paper focuses on a generational change taking place in the Polish academic profession: a change in behaviors and attitudes between two groups of academics. One was socialized to academia under the communist regime (1945-1989) and the other entered the profession in the post-1989 transition period. Academics of all age groups are beginning to…

Background: Recent ideological shifts in service provision promote appropriate sexual expression for people with an intellectual disability (ID), although there is little evidence that such advances in ideology are matched by current service provision. Part II of the current two-part study assessed the attitudes of staff and family carers to the…
