Can a student inherit time? What difference does time make to their educational journeys and outcomes? "The Time Inheritors" draws on nearly a decade of field research with more than one hundred youth in China to argue that intergenerational transfers of privilege or deprivation are manifested in and through time. Comparing experiences…

This study reports the results of 4 experiments that addressed whether the domains of deictic time and number exert a cross-domain link. Such a link would be consistent with A Theory of Magnitude (i.e., ATOM). In contrast, no link between the two domains would support the conceptual metaphor theory (CMT), which assumes that each domain is only…

For institutions intent on improving their research student outcomes, it is important to identify the variables most strongly associated with timely or tardy completions, which the university has the potential to influence or amend. For this to occur the analyses of doctoral completion times need to be conducted at an institution or discipline…

This article sheds light upon the challenges that early-career academics (ECAs) are compelled to navigate within the prevailing one-dimensional acceleration-driven academic world. Although the scholarly publication remains a dominant metric for career advancement among ECAs, various different logics of higher education burden ECAs with a range of…

Childhood stress affects physical and mental health, making its proper assessment crucial. While several stress questionnaires for youth are available, their psychometric quality is questionable. Our aim was to develop a brief, age-appropriate questionnaire to measure current stress. Two-hundred thirty German children (6-17 years) completed the…

This article explores the significant yet under-researched relationship between students' experiences of time and their emotions during university studies. We frame our study through two existing theoretical concepts of time, that of timescapes and time-as-affect, to illuminate the subjective, contextual nature of time and how students'…

Background: The interactions between behavior, environment and personal factors are the basis of the Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, A. 1986. "Social Foundations of Thought and Action." NJ: Prentice Halls). Within this theory, students' behavior and motivation toward an activity is dependent on their feelings, thoughts and beliefs…

Natural environments provide a rich spatiotemporal context that allows for visual objects to be differentiated based on different types of information: their absolute or relative spatial or temporal coordinates, or their ordinal positions in a spatial or temporal sequence. Here, we investigated which spatial and temporal properties are…

Although working memory (WM) is usually defined as a cognitive system coordinating processing and storage in the short term, in most WM models, memory aspects have been developed more fully than processing systems, and many studies of WM tasks have tended to focus on memory performance. The present study investigated WM functioning without…

Background: During transport to and from outdoor education field trips, students experience a period of togetherness and minimal imposed structure. Transport time also appears to align with Oldenburg's third places, where people spend time together without a particular agenda. Purpose: To examine educators' perspectives on the contribution that…

Although there is substantial evidence in the literature regarding the relationship between job resources and work engagement, the direction and timing of these relationships remain unclear. In this regard, the present study aimed to examine the time-lagged and concurrent reciprocal relationships between job resources and work engagement. To…

Social media has been recognized as a promising online communication environment that supports self-directed informal learning activities outside educational institutions. Development of metacognition is necessary for self-directed learning. Nevertheless, most studies have focused on the use of social media for formal learning. To fill this gap,…

This article assesses how the logic of refugee education affects the inclusion of refugees with disabilities. It draws on academic literature, sociological and ethnographic research in Lebanon with refugees with disabilities and refugee education practitioners, and conversations between the authors on practices they witnessed out in the field.…

Time is a concept of historical, social, cultural, philosophical, artistic, economic, technological, scientific relevance. Time assumes different meanings in the Sciences, especially in Physics, acquiring fundamental importance in different physical contexts. However, in both high school and college Physics courses in Brazil, time is usually…

Time is an essential dimension of sustainability and its premise of intra- and intergenerational justice. Moreover, prevailing sociocultural practices of time use are drivers of unsustainability. Educational institutions convey social norms on time and are thus places where time is "learned." It is therefore of relevance for Education…
