Background: Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments are hypothesised to offer a learning environment that satisfies basic psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness and competence, subsequently improving learning and motivational outcomes. However, the underlying mechanism of how basic psychological needs are fulfilled…

Math anxiety can significantly impair student learning outcomes. This is often due to a lack of self-regulated learning (SRL), leading to a reliance on external guidance. This systematic literature review aimed to increase existing knowledge on the role of SRL in reducing students' mathematics anxiety and to assess its impact on improving learning…

Historically marginalized youth shape public life through civic literacies that are rooted in their identities and experiences with systemic injustices. Literacy scholarship has accordingly traced how practitioner inquiry, a participatory approach to knowledge production, can educationally support the flourishing of these literacies. But while…

Higher education has often been accused of its anti-social character, represented by the metaphor of the 'ivory tower'. However, the idea of the pursuit of knowledge per se, which is associated with the ivory tower, has not been widely recognized as a public ideal of higher education. In this study, by drawing on the 20th-century British…

This study explores adult migrants' formal and informal opportunities for learning their host country's dominant language: specifically, the availability, accessibility, and effects of these opportunities on the migrants' social integration. It prioritizes the migrants' experience by reporting findings obtained from analyses of questionnaire data…

To support young people and their futures, sustainability education is increasingly framed around enhancing young people's agency. In England, however, sustainability is not a formal subject within the National Curriculum and teachers may have different understandings of what sustainability education involves. New insights were revealed through…

What are children's perceptions of what a museum is and what it should be? Is there a discrepancy between the two, and if so, in what sense? To address these questions, a collaboration between Cultural Inquiry, Fondation Lascaux, Brüttisellen, and the Bifang Primary School in Olten, Switzerland has established a series of experimental atelier…

Background/purpose: Higher education necessitates learner autonomy and active participation for deep engagement in learning. However, significant challenges limited classroom involvement and low student learning autonomy. Infrequent peer discussion further hinders knowledge retention and conceptual mastery. Many lecturers dominate learning in…

In the era of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a sample of 315 third-…

The 2014 "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" describe universal design as an approach that offers promise for improving the fairness of educational assessments. As the field reconsiders questions of fairness in assessments, we propose a new framework that addresses the entire assessment lifecycle: universal design of…

Learner autonomy has been considered an essential goal of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. This capacity empowers students to actively engage in learning activities and gives them greater control over their learning environment. Existing research on learner autonomy has proposed six conceptual models, yet these frameworks have…

How will high-achieving learners' identity be shaped by exam-oriented assessment? Through critical narrative inquiry, we explore how high-achieving students regulate their learning practices and negotiate their identity in China's climate of exam-oriented assessment. Based on their narratives from autoethnographic writing and life history…

The following article addresses a conundrum: What if child assent in research were a fully informed, standalone process that empowered all children to discuss meaningfully, negotiate, and decide how and what the research experience would look like? Past research and practices suggest that child assent, when children (youths to 17-year-olds who…

From a "prima facie" point of view, Nietzsche's use of virtue may appear to be a form of virtue ethics. Certainly, this is one position that has been established within the secondary literature; however, I argue that a more fruitful philosophical reading is to view his use of virtue as a part of his "drive" psychology. Indeed,…

How to support young people's agency is a key question of sustainability education. Action competence for sustainability is suggested covering the essential components of youth's readiness to act both individually and collectively, but empirical tests of these associations are scarce. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between action…
