Time is intrinsic in all forms of education. A growing body of educational research has begun examining time as something more than a context within which teaching and learning happen. While much of the existing research has tended to focus on either 'objective' clock time or 'subjective' time as experienced by individual teachers or students,…

Toddlers' sleep difficulties have mainly been investigated from the mother's point of view, despite the fact that paternal implication seems to influence young children's sleep quality. This qualitative study aims to better understand how fathers experience toddlers' sleep difficulties by examining their sleep-related cognitions and strategies…

The number of colleges and universities facing financial difficulty is rising rapidly, and the pressures upon these institutions will be exacerbated by the arrival of the "demographic cliff " (18 years out from the fall in birth rates during the 2008/09 economic downturn) in 2026/27.
