This article shares our university center's efforts to act as a boundary spanner supporting colleagues across our university to contribute collectively to more equitable educational opportunities for local K-12 students and their teachers. We focus here on the ongoing critical reflection and collaboration needed to tap such university resources to…

As a result of the rapid advancement in information and communication technologies, learning cyberspace has become a channel for teachers to share learning resources. This study explored the influencing factors of learning resource sharing in teacher learning cyberspace. The study sample consisted of 363 high-quality teacher learning cyberspaces…

As science teachers gain increasing access to resources through an ever-expanding resource system, the study of how science teachers decide which resources to use and how to use them becomes increasingly important and complex. When science teachers exercise agency to select and adapt resources in alignment with their context, teaching and learning…

Assessment in physical education encompasses evaluating skills across the psychomotor, cognitive and affective learning domains. Given assessment's complex yet essential role in physical education (PE), practitioners need to access applicable information to assist them when conducting assessments. The purpose of this article is to outline a…

The quality education goal is a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that the United Nations aim to achieve by 2023.

Colleges and universities spend billions of dollars each year to enroll a shrinking population of college-bound students. However, relatively little is known about the high-ability, high achieving students whose enrollment decisions can have positive effects on retention, graduation, faculty satisfaction, alumni giving, and overall institutional…

Teachers increasingly rely on online social media platforms to supplement their educational resources, greatly influencing PK-12 education through the swift and extensive diffusion of teacher-curated resources. Understanding this diffusion process is crucial, but current educational studies primarily report resource diffusion through small-scale…

Fluorescence microscopy is a useful tool that allows students to learn the principles of fluorescence visually in chemical and biological fields. However, fluorescence equipment has high purchase and maintenance costs and thus may not be available in educational institutions or insufficiently funded laboratories. In this study, a microscope stage…

This study examined how teachers in multi-grade classrooms manage and use available resources in their classrooms. The study focused on multi-grade classrooms in farm schools in the Free State province of South Africa that cover Grades 1 to 9. The concepts "multi-grade classrooms" and "resources" are explained below. The…

The CLAVIER (Connected Learning And Virtual Intercultural Exchange Research) network grew rhizomatically as a result of open practice (Blyth, 2019), which is central to the CLAVIER approach. Informed by the field of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC), the network has provided a safe space to experiment with the development and implementation of…

Financial challenges are a major concern for school leaders, a concern that was particularly pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased academic expectations, insufficient funding, and rising mandated expenses in the face of declining enrollment constrain budgets and put pressure on student programming. In this environment, collaboration…

As open educational resources (OER) becomes a more established concept, its growth and continued success not only center around the creation of new content but also depend upon the development and evolution of existing content, licenses permitting. The evolution of and persistent access to existing content requires easily editable works and the…
