Awareness of the individual's harmful impact on the environment has been rising in recent years. One example of harmful impact is the littering of public spaces -- which is significantly hazardous to ecosystems. A possible solution to the problem is a shift of emphasis. Rather than reinforcing external responsibility embodied in bins, cleaning…

The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a popular and widely used measurement tool in cross-cultural research, evaluates life satisfaction. Even though numerous studies have demonstrated factorial validity across a range of samples and cultures, the topic of factorial invariance across various subgroups is still up for debate. There are…

Creating a plan for crisis prevention, intervention, and postvention procedures allows schools to prepare for the traumatic consequences when a crisis inevitably occurs. The comprehensive crisis plan checklist--second edition (CCPC-2; McCleary & Aspiranti, 2020) is a 102-item tool created for evaluating individual school and district crisis…

In recent years the taught masters course has become an even more important component of the curriculum portfolio for universities in the UK and elsewhere. In the spring of 2021, the Student Assessment and Classification Working Group (SACWG) surveyed a small number of English and Welsh universities to compare assessment regulations for taught…

This study reviews and equates the historical upgrade of Ghana's polytechnics to technical universities compared to the United Kingdom and South Africa, including its processes as a borrowed educational policy. Furthermore, it critically reviews the policy's incubation process, the borrowing process, the implementation process and the actual…

This study investigated the critical roles of school climate and efficacy (collective teacher efficacy and teacher self-efficacy) in teachers' enthusiasm throughout their teaching careers. Based on multigroup structural equation modelling and mediation analysis of a sample of 4594 primary school teachers in China, this study found that school…

Virtual learning environments have increased in frequency in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic. There are differences in the social learning structure between virtual learning environments and traditional learning environments. A growing body of scholarship has aimed to investigate the impacts of the virtual learning environment on student…

Nationally, school divisions are examining data to address chronic absenteeism, identifying root causes of absenteeism and developing strategies to intervene to reduce student absenteeism. A data element often overlooked in school divisions' conversations about chronic absenteeism is the number of withdrawals and school transfers students make…

The content analysis included video lectures posted in 208 MOOCs on the Polish educational platform NAVOICA. The aim was to determine their subject matter and the methods of preparing video lectures. It turned out that video lectures were included in 57% of MOOCs, most often related to "Medical and health sciences" and…

Educational research that effectively addresses larger sociopolitical and sociohistorical contexts must interrogate macro-level decision-making and policies "and" prioritize the lived experiences of those who directly affect and are affected by social structures. This project explores racial and economic justice work in schools by…

We study the effect of educational attainment on family formation using regression discontinuity designs generated by centralized admissions processes to both secondary and tertiary education in Finland. Admission to further education at either margin does not increase the likelihood that men form families. In contrast, women admitted to further…

The aim of this study is to examine which issues teachers' perspectives focus on in culturally responsive educational practices within the Turkish education system, identifying points of consensus and disagreement, and exploring the reasons behind the most extreme statements. Q methodology was used to collect and analyze the data. Twenty-one…

The dorsal stream vulnerability hypothesis posits that the dorsal stream, responsible for visual motion and visuo-motor processing, may be particularly vulnerable during neurodevelopment. Consistent with this, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with deficits in global motion integration, though deficits in ventral stream tasks,…

The current study examined to what extent face and speech processing interact with each other and whether they enhance or impair the processing of the other in 5-year-olds (n = 51) and adults (n = 34). Using a computer-based speeded sorting task allowed to directly test the influence of auditory speech on face processing and the influence of face…
