Since at least the early 2000s, ballet educators have worked to unpack and decolonize these traditions using the concept of a critical pedagogy to address social and cultural issues arising from ballet's complicated…

This study aims to explore the implications of using AI-generative tools (tools for generative AI (GAI)) in teaching and learning practices in higher education settings. This exploratory study employs a mixed-methods approach. Data was collected through focus-group discussions, participants' reflections and questionnaires. The participants of this…

This study explored Extension nutrition educators' (NEs) perceptions of community members' challenges and opportunities for achieving a healthy lifestyle. NEs represented various communities with low income across nine states. NEs across locations identified similar barriers (i.e., lack of access and availability of healthy and affordable foods;…

The purpose of this article was to explore the challenges and opportunities for using e-learning in a South African emerging university, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The article adopts an explanatory case study design to answer the research question. A quantitative research method was adopted using the convenience sampling…

Improving educational attainment for Hispanic/Latinx students remains a U. S. national priority, as evidenced by increasing federal funding for Hispanic-serving institutions.

Virtual Reality has the potential to transform educational experiences. This evolution, from the earliest days of projecting and viewing stereoscopic static images to the immersive headset experiences possible today, allows VR to transport students to new locations, enable them to participate in virtual spaces and simulations, and design 3-D…

This qualitative case study aims to enhance the acceptance and adoption of gamification in higher education, focusing on the American University of Bahrain (AUBH) as a unique context. Grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this research investigates the integration of gamification in AUBH and its influencing…

In a mentoring constellation model, mentoring is conceptualized as a set of meaningful relationships with multiple mentors. Mentoring constellation models move away from hierarchical 'one-mentor to one-mentee' models; multiple mentors support different mentoring functions, without an expectation that one mentor has expertise in all areas.…

The global twenty-first century (21C) skills agenda has become a common feature in the educational policy of many countries. However, teachers can face operational, definitional and systemic barriers to the integration of 21C skills in practice.

This study addressed potential differential effects of EF training as a function of language background. Training monolingual children with EF-fostering challenges and feedback may support them more than multilinguals, who face comparable challenges when switching languages. We assessed monolingual (n = 110) and multilingual (n = 91) 6-year-olds…

Educators expect artificial intelligence (AI) to augment student capabilities and rapidly transform teaching and learning practices. However, little is known about students' perceptions of AI and what they expect from AI in student-AI teaming. There is a lack of holistic understanding of the nature, effects, and areas of improvement in teamwork by…

Blended learning has been popular in higher education over the past decade, aiming to provide students with enhanced learning experiences by integrating digital technology with face-to-face (F2F) learning. However, due to several barriers confronted by teachers, the uptake of blended learning has been highly variable. This variability can yield…

An increasing number of districts and schools have adopted/adapted a multi-tiered support system (MTSS). The investments in some states have been in the millions.
