On-time high school graduation is an important topic in educational research, policy, and practice. However, no comprehensive meta-analyses had been conducted on this topic. The current meta-analysis reviewed 47 articles published from 1985 to April 2022 and aggregated the effect in four dimensions: student background, family support, school…

The purpose of this communication is to explore possibilities for children's literature to enable futures learning. It introduces the ways in which two different frameworks might be used to analyse children's literature. The first framework draws upon the Earth Charter Principles (ECP) (Auld et al., 2021). The second framework brings together the…

This article presents the results of a study that gave a voice to 119 faculty members of 10 Spanish universities, who were recommended by their students with disabilities for carrying out an inclusive pedagogy. Following a qualitative methodology, two interviews were held to analyse different areas of inclusive pedagogy: beliefs, knowledge,…

More than forty years ago, Dan Lortie famously lamented the lack of a common language with which to describe teaching and noted this scarcity as a key problem within studies of teaching and teacher professionalism. I argue that recent developments in video technology and supporting methodological designs have paved the way for a new generation of…

Counselor training that does not attend to dynamics of cultural differences and oppression can run the risk of promoting false empathy that serves the voyeuristic purpose of the counselor rather than achieving accurate empathy for the client. In this article, we discuss the differences between true and false empathy and how Whiteness, racial…

Many view populist tendencies among youth with concern because adolescence is a formative period for political development. Of the many factors that shape young people's populist attitudes, experiences in school deserve attention since young people spend time in educational settings and schools share the goal of educating students to become…

Contrary to the idea that the world is broken and beyond repair, ongoing care and maintenance are primary concerns of people learning with technologies. This paper advances a perspective that an ethic of care has epistemic significance and locates families' caring practices in technologically-mediated home learning environments. I develop this…

Higher education has begun to shift from a teacher-centred instructional approach to a student-centred learning approach; many instructors have embraced this change by developing flipped classrooms. In the flipped classroom, students complete pre-work prior to attending class; this pre-work is often in the form of a video recording, lecture…

The year 2020 marked the 25th year since Bonny Norton published her influential "TESOL Quarterly" article, 'Social identity, investment, and language learning' (Norton Peirce, 1995) and the fifth year since we, Darvin and Norton (2015), co-authored 'Identity and a model of investment in applied linguistics' in the "Annual Review of…

Utilizing generative artificial intelligence, especially the more popularly used Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) architecture, has made it possible to employ AI in ways that were previously not possible with conventional assessment and evaluation technologies for learning. As educational use cases and academic studies become increasingly…

In "Teach Like a Champion Field Guide 3.0," accomplished educators Doug Lemov, Sadie McCleary, Hannah Solomon and Erica Woolway deliver a practical and hands-on workbook to show educators how to practice the 63 teaching techniques presented in "Teach Like a Champion 3.0" (ED620470), drive instruction, and develop teaching…

Here, he presents an alternative view that centers on Luhmann's idea of the child or human being as a medium. To explain Luhmann's use of these ideas to conceptualize the child and the consequences for…

This paper describes the application of new Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) in engineering education. It demonstrates how VLEs improve student learning in two engineering concepts compared with the traditional classroom setting. Literature has conflicting studies on both the advantages and disadvantages of learning in VLEs. The application of…
