Purpose: This study aims to investigate the main areas in which researchers are focusing their efforts in terms of sustainability in higher education (curriculum, campus greening, research, governance or outreach), the format in which this research is performed (in terms of individual or combined efforts) and the primary research focus (in terms…

In this study, we use a mixed-method systematic literature review of articles that include African American counselor education doctoral student participants in the research. From this corpus of inquiry, we provide an opportunity for counselor education researchers to lead the way with inclusive scholarship and the use of strengths-based…

Motivation to read is a central consideration for teachers and researchers because it is strongly associated with reading performance and is generally accepted as a positive state. The study of reading motivation is plagued by inconsistent terminology and measurement, which impedes a comprehensive knowledge base for teachers and researchers. One…

Educational researchers have been confronted with a multitude of definitions of task complexity and a lack of consensus on how to measure it. Using a cognitive load theory-based perspective, we argue that the task complexity that learners experience is based on element interactivity. Element interactivity can be determined by simultaneously…

Objective: The precise measurement of treatment fidelity (quantity and quality in the delivery of treatment strategies in an intervention) is essential for intervention development, evaluation, and implementation. Various informants are used in fidelity assessment (e.g., observers, practitioners [clinicians, teachers], clients), but these…

Although research shows that critical outcomes occur for Native students when culture-based education (CBE) centers self-determination, sovereignty, and Indigeneity, Kanaka 'Oiwi (Native Hawaiian) students rarely learn about these concepts. This review thus seeks to understand how scholars operationalize self-determination and Ea (sovereignty,…

Pre-service teachers play a crucial role in fostering critical thinking among students to enhance their effectiveness in the 21st century. This systematic review examines 43 empirical studies to gain deeper insights into the concept of critical thinking in teacher education. We identified two primary definitions of critical thinking: the logical…

Sustainable leadership is a necessity to achieve the goals of sustainable development, such as addressing complex global issues, preserving environmental and social balance, ensuring the well-being of future generations, and promoting innovation. Sustainable leadership in education is important to contribute to sustainable development goals by…

Gamification has the potential to enhance learner motivation and increase participation, thereby improving MOOC's retention rates. However, challenges exist in finding the balance between learning and gamification elements and ensuring effective implementation, as well as the limited availability of established gamification frameworks tailored for…

Practice-near research has been on the agenda in education policy during the last few years in Sweden. The research is supposed to make the academy and school collaborate and the expectations are high. This article aims to give an account of different kinds of expectations of practice-near research, and the underlying perceived problems it is…

Purpose: Decades of scholarship have drawn on Weiss's four categories of research use (Weiss, 1980; 2005; Weiss & Bucuvalas, 1980) -- instrumental use, symbolic use, conceptual use, and imposed use -- to examine how research use unfolds in school districts (e.g., Amara et al., 2004; Penuel et al., 2017). In this paper, we theorize a new form…

Mathematical literacy, quantitative literacy, numeracy, matheracy, disciplinary literacy, and content-area literacy are among a plethora of terms used to link mathematics and literacy. In addition to this abundance of terms, the content of the terms is not precise, and in some cases the terms are used interchangeably. I delve into this landscape…

This study examined the impact of journals that focus on supporting individuals with learning disabilities (LDs). We analyzed the visibility of 360 articles that appeared in seven scholarly outlets (ILD, IJRLD, JLD, LDCJ, LDMJ, LDQ, and LDRP) over a one-year period (2022). Using a two-year Google-based Journal Impact Factor (two-year GJIF), the…

Teachers' digital competence (TDC) should be possessed by teachers in the 21st century learning process because learning resources in this era are not only from one source but many sources along with technological developments. This study aimed to provide an overview of the dimensions of TDC, the level of TDC, obstacles, and solutions to improve…

We note two possibilities for how our science might capitalize on advances in computing that harness and weave "big data" into the rich tapestry of how human development unfolds. First, we propose that the classic theoretical models that have guided developmental research since the 1970s and the hierarchical analytical models used to…
