This study addresses the link between overeducation and intention to migrate to the Greater Bay Area (GBA) cities in mainland China in a sample of Hong Kong's young adults employed in lower occupational classes (elementary occupations, plant and machine operators and assemblers, craft and related workers, and service and sales workers). The…

The goal of this intensive longitudinal study was to trace the developmental trajectories of infant pointing production, through consideration of the modality (i.e. pointing alone vs pointing-vocal coupling) and the communicative intention (i.e. imperative vs declarative). Multilevel analysis was used to model the normative trend and the…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have attracted much interest from educational researchers and practitioners around the world. There has been an increase in empirical studies about MOOCs in recent years, most of which used questionnaire surveys and quantitative methods to collect and analyze data. This study explored the research topics and…

This comprehensive study reviews the technological impact during the COVID-19 pandemic and elucidates technology usage to technology-enhanced learning which assisted in enhancing the behavioral intention to use technologies among undergraduates. Recently, higher education institutions suffered from the impact of using emerging technologies with…

When technologies like GeoGebra are implemented in mathematics lessons, the focus should be on learners and their learning processes rather than on technologies. Student-centeredness is a core characteristic of flipped classroom approaches. Recent further developments of flipped classroom approaches aim to foster learning through inquiry in…

Education has a responsibility to respond to the threat of deteriorating democracies. The post-truth era is marked by an erosion of trust in public institutions and extreme polarisation. This paper begins with an examination of the ways by which current literacy and media literacy education is not simply outmoded, but also limited by a grounding…

There is a dearth of research on factors that increase the likelihood of underrepresented minority (URM) college students' enrollment and completion of graduate studies in the social sciences. To address this gap, we implemented the Graduate Enhancement for Minority Studies (GEMS) program and present an evaluative case study of the first…

The purpose of this research was to examine how teachers' level of engagement might predict their likelihood of leaving their current positions. This study used cross-sectional survey data gathered on 188 elementary school teachers. A multiple mediation model was used to examine the effects of organizational (individual-level climate,…

Empirical evidence shows the efficiency of coordinated interaction in mother-infant dyads through unintentional movements: social entrainment, early imitation. The growing body of the literature evidently shows an impact of arousal on group performance and spreading emotion from one individual to another organism, called emotional contagion. The…

This report describes findings generated from student focus groups across four GEAR UP campuses in the Fall 2021 semester. The focus group participants described their perspectives of the GEAR UP program, experiences with the GEAR UP activities, and plans for future education. Findings obtained from the 2021 fall student focus groups echoed those…

The evidence supporting the link between collaboration and outcomes in both organizations and educational settings is based primarily in Western cultures. However, in societies where collaboration is foundational to the culture itself, such as in a collectivistic society, the relationship between collaboration within an organization or educational…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to investigate how the core constructs of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) influence the behavioral intentions of elementary teachers to use technology for instructional activities in a southern Alabama public school system. The problem of the study addressed…

Open universities have provided quality higher education through open and distance education to serve learners who could not attend traditional in-person universities. While open universities vary in terms of providing their services to learners at a distance, many have shifted to e-learning using cost-effective platforms. A common platform that…

We engaged in duoethnographic research to deepen our understanding of Japanese educator Daisaku Ikeda's notion of ningen kyoiku, or "human education," a lifelong process of transformation based on commitments to dialogue, value creation, global citizenship and creative coexistence. In particular, we examine the cultivation of intellect,…

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances rapidly, it has been incorporated into formal education to facilitate subject-based learning. Integration of AI technologies to support learning requires teachers to intentionally design AI-assisted learning. However, there have been a limited number of empirical studies investigating teachers' behavioural…
