School districts increasingly gauge school quality with surveys that ask about school climate and student engagement. We use data from New York City's middle and high schools to compare the long-run predictive validity of surveys with that of conventional test score value-added models (VAMs). Our analysis leverages the New York school match, which…

This follow-up study examines whether participation in the Research-Publication (Res-Pub) Training Workshop influenced the epistemic expertise and research rigor of 20 doctoral students in English Studies. The workshop was designed using a reframed Community of Practice (CoP) approach situated within the Disciplinary Writing Expertise (DWE)…

This article describes the development of a Confucian heritage culture (CHC) scale, where a conceptual definition of CHC emerged from interdisciplinary perspectives. The scale dimensions adopted interdisciplinary perspectives from history, psychology, political science, and science education. The validity and reliability of the scale were…

In Vietnamese secondary education, traditional science teaching that focuses on theory over practical application presents a challenge to developing students' scientific competence, a key priority of the national curriculum. Scientific competence is broadly defined as the ability to explain phenomena, conduct investigations, and apply knowledge in…

This study examines the critical role of technological innovations in higher education, specifically addressing their contribution towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) between 2020 and 2024. Employing a combined methodology of bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review, the research analyzes trends, methodologies,…

While work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities provide valuable real-world experience, the growing demand for career-ready graduates necessitates alternative and scalable WIL experiences to accommodate large student cohorts. This article describes and evaluates the Scaffolded WIL and Industry Engagement Model (SWIM), a WIL approach that…

Understanding large-scale patterns in student course enrollment is a problem of great interest to university administrators and educational researchers. Yet important decisions are often made without a good quantitative framework of the process underlying student choices. We propose a probabilistic approach to modelling course enrollment…

While the basic content of the public speaking course has changed little, the method and manner in which these skills are taught can, and should, reflect the dynamic socio-political contexts in which we live and teach. This reflection essay addresses a struggle to keep the public speaking course relevant, innovative, and practical while also…

Comprehension models do not often account for the multifaceted and emotionally charged nature of reading in real-world settings. In addition, studies of how reader emotions influence comprehension often yield conflicting findings due to lack of specificity regarding the process, emotion, and task under investigation. The PET (Process, Emotion,…

In this article, we assess an alternative account of a key experimental pattern thought to index top-down control. The list-wide proportion congruence effect is the well-documented pattern whereby the congruency effect (i.e., Stroop effect) is attenuated in lists containing mostly incongruent trials relative to lists containing mostly congruent…

We describe an activity that introduces students to population modelling, enables them to use estimates obtained from a sample to infer back to the population, and understands how the findings are translatable via penguins and their poo!

Learning in natural environments is often characterized by a degree of inconsistency from an input. These inconsistencies occur, for example, when learning from more than one source, or when the presence of environmental noise distorts incoming information; as a result, the task faced by the learner becomes ambiguous. In this study, we investigate…

There is substantial support for the general idea that a formalization of comprehenders' expectations about the likely next word in a sentence helps explaining data related to online sentence processing. While much research has focused on syntactic, semantic, and discourse expectations, the present event-related potentials (ERPs) study…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify, through the preparation of a theoretical framework, the drivers able to highlight the relationships between universities and stakeholders in the area of higher education. It also intends to stress the importance of intellectual capital (IC) regarding its contribution to create the quality of…

Purpose: In the author's reflection on the special issue, the author will start with a brief discussion of the different theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions of the articles. In addition, the author will argue that the challenge for research on school-non-governmental organization (NGO) interactions is to move beyond the use of…
