How interdisciplinary music education should be provided constitutes the problem situation of this study. In the MEB system, where art (music and painting) and sports classes are not as important as academic subjects (Turkish, Mathematics, etc.) or are left behind, it is imperative to determine how music classes can be conducted interdisciplinary.…

This critical duoethnography takes silence in classroom discussions as a sociocultural artifact that reveals the norms of the society that upholds it. In this research, we made visible and explored the content of silence we experienced as international graduate students. We found that repeated patterns of silence in classroom discussions acted to…

Context: Accompanying learners in their increasingly self-directed learning is an important goal in the field of vocational education and training. With digitalisation, the traditional role of the teacher, characterized in terms of an arbiter and transmitter of knowledge, is in crisis. Besides teachers' task in instruction, other role aspects are…

The global trend of higher education expansion has increasingly transformed knowledge-based economies, with Hong Kong exemplifying this phenomenon through a dramatic rise in university participation. Nevertheless, ongoing scholarly discussions question the economic returns to university education. The varied research outcomes may be attributed to…

The objective of this study is to assess students' perceptions of self-directed learning (SDL) skills in online learning using the Turkish version of the Self-Directed Online Learning Scale (SDOLS-T). To achieve this objective, the original SDOLS in English was translated into Turkish using the back-translation method. Subsequently, two separate…

Education is based on a process that attempts to profile individual behavior via learning. Although this process includes formal and informal dimensions, it could be suggested that both dimensions are effective on the behavior of the individual. Several factors affect the educational process. These variables are significant determinants that…

Neuroscience findings offer promising ways to enhance performance in educational settings. Adolescents often experience sleep deprivation, impacting memory processes crucial for learning. The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis (SHY) posits that non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, particularly slow wave activity (0.5-4 Hz), downscales synapses…

Portfolios are designed to promote self-regulated learning and reflective practice through guided reflection on collections of artefacts. However, many medical students are reluctant to write reflections. On social media and in social research, photographic self-portraits (selfies) document experiences, relationships, and identity. Therefore,…

Motivated by critiques from black students during the protests (2015-2016), I trace continuities between the racialised discourses and knowledge regimes that justified colonial education policies and that of Education Development at a historically white South African university. First, I show how the University of Cape Town's Humanities Education…

During the COVID19 crisis, school closure was a frequent feature of Government responses.

This study explored the instructional potential of bilingual picturebooks for building word consciousness in bilingual elementary students. Word consciousness refers to knowledge about words as well as interest in and enthusiasm for learning new words. This disposition helps students build their vocabularies and learn more words from talk and…

Using a large survey of undergraduate business students, we identify common stereotypes, analyze gender differences in stereotypic thinking, and examine how stereotypes impact a student's choice of major. We document gender differences in stereotypic thinking and find that stereotypes can introduce biases on students' attitudes toward our study's…

Background: To address complex challenges of modern society, engineering education needs to help students develop sociotechnical perspectives of engineering. Research has documented efforts to incorporate sociotechnical thinking into undergraduate engineering education, but those perspectives must often compete with more dominant technocentric…
