The needs of youth at-risk and their families, facing multiple problems and serious mental health issues, exceed the expertise and possibilities of a single stakeholder (professional, organization, municipality). These youngsters require care in which the expertise of different professionals and organizations is integrated. However, combining…

Introduction: Research in various areas indicates that expert judgment can be highly inconsistent. However, expert judgment is indispensable in many contexts. In medical education, experts often function as examiners in rater-based assessments. Here, disagreement between examiners can have far-reaching consequences. The literature suggests that…

Today creativity is increasingly recognized as an essential component of success. The purpose of the study is to test a method of consensus assessment of contemporary dance, which allows a viewer to subconsciously assess the manifestation of creativity in contemporary dance. The sample of participants was formed on the basis of users of Chinese…

The study examines the influence of nudging on the successful studies of Higher education institutions (HEI's) students. Data from one of the typical countries of the Central European region (Czech Republic) is analyzed. The goal of the research was to find out how students accept individual forms of nudging. For this purpose, a questionnaire…

STEM literacy is a desired principal outcome of STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. With the increasing popularity of Early STEM learning, it is believed that STEM literacy could be developed in the early years. However, relatively few studies have examined STEM literacy in young children. This study utilized the…

More and more experts from the social sciences are appearing in the media to provide expert opinions on media coverage of events and social issues. However, with regard to the conditions under which media content is produced, a growing number of voices have been pointing to the fact that quasi-experts with a media interest tend to speak more in…

Creative thinking is a process through which individuals generate ideas that are simultaneously novel and meaningful within a given social context.

The growing use of artificial intelligence in education extends and intensifies technologies of governing, including datafication, performativity and accountability. In this article, we outline how the use of AI and data science has the disruptive potential to create new norms in education policy and governance. We report on an ethnographic…

In the present study, we used a new approach to establish the smallest effect size of interest (SESOI) for false memory research by asking memory researchers what they considered to be the SESOI in false memory research. They were presented with three hypothetical and three influential paper scenarios. These scenarios depicted studies examining…

Spontaneous judgment and decision-making (JDM) are common behaviors that remain ambiguous to be utilized in architecture design studios. A decision-maker (DM) response varies due to individual differences in an architectural design (AD) environment that keeps changing from abstract ideas to concrete design details along the process. The study aims…

Generative AI is a disruptive technology that has the potential to transform many aspects of how computer science is taught. Like previous innovations such as high-level programming languages and block-based programming languages, generative AI lowers the technical expertise necessary to create working programs, bringing the power of computation…

This paper explores how an intergenerational research team (n = 21) used a three-phase participatory design approach and youth-adult partnerships to establish a youth-led digital writing community on Discord. Findings analyze three "moments of emergence": (1) a moment in which we navigated tensions between our intergenerational writerly…

One of the main goals of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) education is the development of STEM identity, yet what STEM identity is remains elusive. This study examines how STEM professionals define themselves via open-ended responses to an online qualitative survey. Through inductive and deductive coding informed…

Knowledge of gross anatomy and embryology continues to be important for medical student training. However, the relevance of anatomical knowledge during the preclinical years remains underexplored considering recent revisions to the scoring of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Guided by the framework of cognitive…

The authors measure economic literacy among a representative sample of U.S. residents, explore demographic correlates with the measure, and examine how respondents' policy views correlate with it. They then analyze policy view differences among Republicans and Democrats and among economists and non-economists. They find significant differences in…
