This brief introduces the Global Research Agenda for Children with Disabilities that sets out critical challenges: widespread data gaps, research underfunding, and limited visibility of children with disabilities in research. It sets out not only what needs to be studied, but how--emphasising ethical, participatory approaches and cross-cutting…

Only weeks into its new term, the Trump administration has taken steps to lay off federally funded education research staff, cancel nearly $1 billion in contracts and dismantle the U.S. Department of Education.

In the face of the global climate crisis, school curricula are key guiding documents for teachers and students engaging in climate-related learning activities. In this case study, I share my experiences with conducting a framing analysis of Alberta, Canada's recently revised kindergarten to grade six (K-6) climate change curricula. As a province…

Background/purpose: Higher education sustainability is one of the primary influences on researchers, teachers, and policymakers due to its impact on environmental governance, institutional management, and student participation. The objective of this research is to understand the development processes of sustainability initiatives, including…

This study examined the professional identity development of counselors-in-training (CITs), considering the influence of personal and program factors. The data were collected from 198 master's-level CITs enrolled in CACREP-accredited programs. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that CITs' personal traits, such as gender…

The structural approach of cultural capital theories neglects the idea that the impact of structural constraints on educational results can be reduced by agency. This predicament can be solved when the advantages of abundant educational resources available in schools are unpacked, since doing so can compensate for the paucity of such resources…

Technological advances in the era of Learning Society 5.0 encourage the birth of innovation in education. One of them is Internet of Things (IoT) based learning media. This study aims to develop Internet of Things-based learning media with a STEAM approach to biotechnology material to improve problem-solving and collaboration skills in grade IX…

Teachers and students rely more on online-learning environments than ever before, including open, trusted and high-quality online learning resources produced by public broadcasters. For educators, this represents both an inspiration and challenge in the wake of new techologies and online learning environments. This article is a case study of one…

Understanding factors which might influence teachers' knowledge of educational neuroscience is essential for designing effective initial training and professional development programmes. This study assessed teachers' knowledge using our novel Educational Neuroscience Knowledge Test (ENKT). The validated ENKT provided a structured measure of…
