Education conceives itself as something that cannot end. Pedagogy talks of lifelong learning and teachers would never say that their work is finished just because students graduate. But education must also be planned and must therefore rely on organizations (schools, universities). On this level, education can distinguish between different school…

'Mindfulness' is a term which holds increasing currency within educational research, policy and practice. However, there is substantial variation in its use, especially with respect to its historical roots in the Buddhist tradition. I develop a conceptual distinction between 'thin' mindfulness and 'thick' mindfulness, with attendant ontological,…

Generations of teachers have built their classes around the course syllabus, a semester-long contract that spells out what each class meeting will focus on (readings, problem sets, case studies, experiments), and what the student has to turn in by a given date. But what does that way of thinking about the syllabus leave out--about our teaching…

Recommendations to improve university Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education often emphasize the role of classroom assessment in supporting student learning. Despite extensive efforts to support instructors in reforming their practices, many continue to teach didactically with limited classroom assessment. Instructors'…

This paper contributes to the history of nurture groups with a specific focus on the development of the Boxall Profile. It draws on the first-hand experience of the teachers involved in the Profile's origin with memories of the children who were responsible for the opening of the first non-pilot nurture group at Kingsmead Infant School, Hackney,…

This study examines how practices of open science, a movement for making scholarship more open, shareable, and reusable, are learned and performed by individual scholars across different fields, in both the sciences and humanities. New open practices are being developed in response to technologies that allow for researchers to easily share their…

Health care delivery and the educational requirements of those who provide care have evolved over the years to embrace technological advancements and meet the needs of the population. Radiologic technology faculty are tasked with graduating medical professionals that can apply foundational knowledge to real-world situations and teach in a manner…

Truancy is an issue, not only affecting school districts nationwide, but also students, families, and communities. Truant students represent a population of at-risk youth who require an effective approach towards intervention and preventions. School personnel and school leaders are in a unique position to address student attendance concerns while…

Similar to joining comparative education and international education, bridging theory to practice is a hallmark of the field of comparative and international education (CIE). Despite the commonality of citing "theory to practice," a disconnect exists between comparativists who develop theories and practitioners who supposedly implement…

Achievement in mathematics, particularly in advanced mathematics courses (such as trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, or Advanced Placement courses), is important for long-term college and career success. However, many students--particularly students who are Black, Hispanic, or from low-income households--do not have access to advanced…

Within the neoliberal university, scholarship, education, students, academic staff, and practices are subordinated to managerial imperatives. University educators are denigrated and displaced by colonising neoliberal practices that systemically invalidate and invisibilise academic work. The present article provides an example of this by critically…

Rick Ginsberg and Yong Zhao want educators to question the status quo and clear out ineffective practices to make room for K-12 reforms that work. Their 2023 book, Duck and Cover: Confronting Dubious Practices in Education, Ginsberg and Zhao examine kindergarten readiness, college- and career-readiness, reading proficiency by 3rd grade, social and…

The exploratory study combined an online survey and interviews with Australian primary and secondary mathematics teachers to examine their views on "Active, Bodily experience Mathematics learning activities." The research sought to identify teachers' expectations, challenges, and limitation for their implementation. Initial results…

This scoping review explored university supervisors' roles, responsibilities, challenges, and changes over 70 years. Using the PRISMA-ScR method and 90 analyzed publications, the results yielded articles from every decade and from educator preparation programs across the United States. The findings highlight historical perspectives and…

E-learning has taken the lead over face-to-face instruction in higher education as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift forced faculty members to adapt to new roles and responsibilities to design and apply online instruction and assessments that require specific skills. This research aims to examine faculty experiences with online…
