This report looks at the provision of General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) subjects in England in 2024. Provision in a subject is defined as the number or percentage of schools with at least one student taking the subject. This report was produced using publicly available data from the Department for Education's (DfE) "Find and…

This report looks at the provision of A level subjects in England in 2024. Provision in a subject is defined as the number or percentage of schools with at least one student taking the subject. It could be argued that this may not cover all 'provision', since schools might offer to provide a subject but none of their students wants to study it.…

Natural history collections (NHCs) preserve critical information about biodiversity, including specimen records, taxonomic classifications, and collection locations. However, attributing contributions to specific individuals remains a challenge due to inconsistencies in name formatting, name duplication, and the absence of standardized…

When Dr. Tina Lupton and Dr. Timisha Barnes-Jones joined the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, Opportunity Culture implementation was happening in the midst of COVID.

The 2023 edition of 'Key data on teaching languages at school in Europe' depicts the main education policies related to the teaching of languages in schools in 39 European education systems. It answers questions about the number and range of foreign languages studied by students, the instruction time dedicated to foreign language teaching, the…

Text analytics in education has evolved to form a critical component of the future SMART campus architecture. Sentiment analysis and qualitative feedback from students is now a crucial application domain of text analytics relevant to institutions. The implementation of sentiment analysis helps understand learners' appreciation of lessons, which…

Socially shared regulation contributes to the success of collaborative learning. However, the assessment of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) faces several challenges in the effort to increase the understanding of collaborative learning and support outcomes due to the unobservability of the related cognitive and emotional processes.…

Mathematics education is like many scientific disciplines witnessing an increase in scientific output. Examining and reviewing every paper in an area in detail are time-consuming, making comprehensive reviews a challenging task. Unsupervised machine learning algorithms like topic models have become increasingly popular in recent years. Their…

Approaches to discourse analysis in educational research tend to operate within the boundaries of particular video-based research traditions. We examine four of these traditions that are especially relevant to the learning sciences--conversation analysis, discursive psychology, interaction analysis, and video-cued ethnography--and instead of…

This study makes these complex relationships visible through the use of visualizations and an interactive website created…

It's critical to foster artificial intelligence (AI) literacy for high school students, the first generation to grow up surrounded by AI, to understand working mechanism of data-driven AI technologies and critically evaluate automated decisions from predictive models. While efforts have been made to engage youth in understanding AI through…

Higher education (HE) is a challenging area for quality professionals because of its highly complex operational nature. While neither quality management (QM) in HE nor applications of analytics in QM is a new research discipline, few studies have examined the applications of analytics in the context of QM in HE. This study calls for more attention…
