In the context of the global decolonial movement, this paper aims to identify major challenges faced by higher education institutions by following an integrative literature review as a methodological approach. A review of two main bodies of scholarly literatures -- decolonisation of higher education and meritocracy in higher education -- showed…

How do we scale student participation in high-impact practices (HIPs) on campuses where there is limited supply? Student employment, not an official HIP yet, has potential to fill this gap. This article describes approaches taken by two campuses within the State University of New York (SUNY) system to transform work-study/student employment into…

This insightful book transforms crisis reflections into longer term guidance for a responsive, engaged pedagogy within contemporary higher education (HE). In recent years, HE institutions worldwide have seen a seismic shift that has compelled them to rapidly transition to online and blended learning models. This book captures the ingenuity and…

Helping people to better understand and respond to the complexities and multiplicities of twenty-first century realities requires higher education systems to break free from persistent hierarchical binaries and knowledge silos. Rosi Braidotti's posthuman feminist vision, rooted in radically relational ways of being, offers a generative lens for…

Higher education institutions can be key agents of innovation and regional development. Nevertheless, they are in a transition period: good, tried, and tested practices no longer work or do not work as well as they used to, while new, fully developed, and widely applied solutions are yet to emerge. In this paper, we investigate to what extent…

Capacity-building has been promoted by the central level in Chile, through a reform that resembles school districts, where the intermediate level is intended to provide pedagogical support for schools. However, this has proven to be challenging due to different visions about what capacity-building looks like and how it relates to school…

A general broadening of content and methods, a renewed emphasis on student interests, and diverse critical perspectives can currently be seen internationally in art curricula.

The book outlines the problems with current educational…

Within elementary science reform, time is a crucial consideration, yet conceptions of time in education research are undertheorized. To address this gap, we use sociological literature to identify three conceptions of time that help us understand and interpret leaders' and teachers' sensemaking and decision making about time in their efforts to…

The characteristics of institutional work in higher education change is an understudied topic in research.

Enlightened by a student teaching presentation in a foundational educational studies course, I became committed to recognizing and unlearning practices of colonialism and oppression in my classrooms and teaching practice. Using critical autoethnography as the mode of inquiry, and drawing relationships between the Characteristics of White Supremacy…

Research has highlighted the advantages of specific practices for enhancing student learning. However, the adoption of these practices varies among teachers. This disparity raises fundamental questions: Why do certain teachers use these practices while others do not? Does the use of these practices depend on the career stage of the teachers? This…

Nassim Noroozi proposes a juxtaposition of pedagogy with and a characterization of it as justice. The term pedagogical here is not limited to "the educational," nor is pedagogy limited to the methods of teaching. At the same time, the term justice will not be framed in terms of liberal conceptual grounds. Noroozi defines pedagogy as an…

We study the interactions over 22 years between one mathematics teacher and his resources for teaching, especially digital ones, with a dual focus on the teacher's documentational and identity trajectories and professional development. We combined a theoretical framework on teachers' work with resources--documentational approach to didactics…
