Leadership has always remained in lime light of formal academic research, professional discourse and popular literature. Despite of very powerful theories, there is a continuous notion of "not enough" that creates a vacuum, usually filled up by confusions and misperceptions. The primary reason for this vacuum is that, despite being…

In the dynamic landscape of tertiary education, fostering innovation, adaptability, and enhanced institutional performance hinges on the effective management of knowledge. Responding to this challenge, this study introduces a novel model, the DNA model of a tertiary education institution, for systematically advancing knowledge management practices…

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are garnering increasing interest from various stakeholders. Nevertheless, the impact of ESG evaluation policies--whether voluntary or mandatory--are complex, particularly in competitive markets. Consequently, this study develops a game-theoretic model to investigate the propensity of…

The left-hemisphere language cortex is known to be structurally aberrant in developmental dyslexia (also referred to as reading disability, RD). However, studies have not addressed the neuroanatomical bases of dyslexia in bilinguals, even though bilingualism is common, and the bilingual experience is thought to alter the language cortex. This…

This study explores the evolving definitions of creativity within the context of musical giftedness and development, using a collaborative autoethnographic approach to analyze the life experiences of two musicians. Drawing from Sternberg's WICS model, we propose a MwSIC Model of Creativity that places an individual's life story at the center,…

Policymakers are often urged to rely on "evidence-based policy" (EBP)--adopting only interventions proven effective (i.e., positive and statistically significant in multisite impact evaluations). EBP clearinghouses chronicle and rate tests of social policy interventions. But EBP clearinghouse standards are based almost entirely on…

A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) was established to help STEM faculty integrate entrepreneurially minded learning (EML), a pedagogy that develops curiosity, connections, and value creation, into a new engineering undergraduate program during the pandemic. Guided by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) framework, the FLC…

The advent of digital transformation will launch a new age for global higher education, one that presents numerous opportunities for administrative and instructional reform. Although there is a growing corpus of literature on digital transformation in higher education, there are still several important research gaps, especially when it comes to…

Purpose: This study aimed to validate the utility of an extended Trans-Contextual Model, which incorporates the moderating role of metacognition facilitating contextual transfer from physical education (PE) to leisure time, in predicting the level of physical activity among university students. Method: A three-wave longitudinal design was…

This study examines the effectiveness of digital simulation-based training (DSBT) for acquiring complex knowledge and skills. After identifying key aspects of DSBT, it explains how they were used to design a new DSBT activity with Minecraft Education® for teaching agile project management to dispersed students. It then presents a theoretically…

In this conceptual paper, we introduce intersectional field analysis as a theoretical framework for understanding how power operates in the special education field broadly and how it affects immigrant families in their efforts to influence special education decisions for their children. We apply the framework, which merges key insights from…

The integration of technology into education, though beneficial, has also raised concerns about academic dishonesty. Digital tools and platforms provide new opportunities for students to engage in behaviors that could undermine academic integrity. Understanding why students commit these acts is crucial for designing effective policies to mitigate…

This article reports on factor analyses of the Middle Leadership Roles Questionnaire -- School Edition (MLRQ-SE) that were conducted to test a theoretical model. This work was completed as part of a larger study that investigated the roles of formal middle-leadership positions in public schools of New South Wales, Australia. Quantitative data from…

"Bystander Intervention in Bullying and Peer Victimization" offers a clear, research-based roadmap for understanding and promoting bystander action in bullying and peer victimization situations. Drawing on decades of scholarship, the authors examine bullying as a group process, the psychological steps behind intervention, and the risks…

Attending to the affect of minoritized students now appears crucial to promoting just and dignity-affirming science education. Yet, elevating affect as an objective of science learning has a history that predates equity reforms. This study explores the politics of scientific uptakes of affect that have long served to mark hierarchical differences…
