The use of pedagogical agents (PAs) as learning tools within digital learning environments is rising. Previous research shows that PAs can aid learning across various domains and age groups, but their impact on learner motivation is unclear. As PAs become more integrated into learning systems, building an in-depth and theory-driven understanding…

Teacher research tends to focus on either teacher cognition or actions, or both. However, an understanding of cognition or behaviour that does not take multiple goals into account is incomplete. We integrate insights from self-regulation research in a goal system model and a methodology for eliciting teachers' goal systems representations (GSRs).…

In recent years, researchers have explored the possibility of techno-pedagogical approach in educational practices. Building on this growing interest, this study examines the existing literature to find the role of the techno-pedagogical approach in the educational context. For this purpose, the study follows preferred reporting items for…

Transmedia storytelling is an increasingly used didactic approach to develop digital and transmedia competences in education. However, how the concept of transmedia storytelling is used beyond its foundational definition--which underpins educational practices--remains underexplored. The long period since Jenkins's initial definition, its…

In Virginia, a contentious school board meeting led to an arrest and trespassing summons. In Utah, eleven people were charged with disorderly conduct after a board meeting turned chaotic. Not long ago, school boards conducted mundane district business. Understudied and underreported, they were an afterthought of centrally driven education reform…

However, teaching practices remain based on Anglocentric standards and perspectives even when most of…

There is an expectation that schools generate certainty in migrant children's lives in the processes of resettlement in host communities.

The study also examined and compared the "instrumental" and "emancipatory" approaches to education for sustainable development: the…

Policymakers, campus leaders, and faculty have increasingly turned to inquiry-based racial equity professional development (IB-REPD) to foster race-related learning and change to address racially unequal student outcomes. This study examines how white community college math faculty participating in a two-year IB-REPD navigated challenges in fully…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers considerable opportunities, as well as challenges, to management education and research. This book brings together case studies and best practice examples of the use of AI in advancing diverse fields relating to Responsible Management Education (RME). Moving beyond the conceptual questions about the use of AI in…

The literature on initial teacher education highlights a crisis facing teacher educators, one which threatens our own epistemic legitimacy and relevance in educational discourses, as market-economy mandates and political surveillance intensify and dominate what it means to be and do teacher education. Given this macro-level concern, we, as teacher…
