The tourism industry is one of Thailand's significant sources of income, especially in the northern part of the country, which is rich in art and nature. While tourism contributes significantly to economic growth, it also poses numerous environmental challenges. Therefore, this research had two main objectives: (1) to assess the potential of…

In this paper, we argue for the need to define teaching quality more broadly and consider how research across disciplines can inform how we reconsider our measurement of teaching quality. To enable this, we proffer that a move towards a portfolio approach to teaching quality assessment (TQA) is required. Drawing from the teaching quality and…

In many countries, children with low socio-economic status and with migration backgrounds are particularly disadvantaged in terms of their educational opportunities. Despite different forms, many extended education offerings around the world pursue a common educational focus, namely supporting the development of all students while reducing…

The Self-Determination Theory posits that an autonomy-supportive motivating style can benefit students in numerous educationally important ways. The paradox and educational concern is that although teachers are cognizant that students can reap numerous benefits when they support their students' autonomy, many of them are nevertheless unable to do…

The role that psychological need satisfaction and self-regulated learning play in academic online learning has been extensively researched. However, the impact of the three psychological needs, perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness, on online self-regulated learning remains unclear. This investigated the association between the…

This research explores the integrated dialectic between human rights education and education for sustainability in the context of global crises, including climate change and unexpected pandemics. The authors examine disparities between students' rights and citizenship education in South Korean educational policies, questioning their lack of…

This paper explores the impact of ongoing performativity and accountability agendas in education which frame curriculum merely as a product for delivery and teachers more as 'technicians' rather than curriculum-makers. While research has explored the impact of such agendas on the realities of teachers' curriculum experiences within schools,…

Remote education tutors (RETs) conduct the vital but undervalued work of delivering distance schooling to geographically isolated students in Australian rural and remote settings. Part of a broader research project, this paper reports the findings of extended, semi-structured interviews with four women who discharged dual roles as mothers and RETs…

Based on the "glonacal agency" heuristic, this study reviews major policy changes regarding research evaluation in China beyond COVID-19, and how research universities strategically adjust their institutional strategies in response to complex and even conflicting global and national forces. In the post-COVID-19 era, two major changes…

This paper reports on a phenomenological reading of integration in education programs, through three layers of specificity: (1) broadly, on integration as an educational idea; (2) more particularly, on integration as expressed in the program model of the longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC); and (3) with the highest degree of specificity, on…

A Spatial Reasoning Mathematics Program (SRMP) was implemented over 20 weeks with 28 mathematically-able 4th-graders as the second phase of a classroom design study. The SRMP embedded transformation skills in 28 interrelated mathematical tasks comprising 2-D/3-D relationships, geometric growing patterns and sequences, directionality, area and…

This paper describes design and content decisions undertaken in the development of the Early Years STEM Australia (ELSA) Foundation-Year Two (F-2) school program. The ELSA F-2 program aims to foster critical STEM literacy and numeracy skills in young learners by providing an integrated approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics…

The ability of Engineering graduates to function as successful professionals depends not only on technical disciplinary knowledge but also on a wide range of professional competencies. Students' often react differently to educators attempts to develop professional competencies compared to technical competencies. Understanding the nature of these…

Many schools choose to organise students into classes according to their perceived "ability", despite evidence that the practice is not beneficial for students, overall. Class grouping by "ability" can exacerbate existing social inequalities by segregating students according to pre-existing educational advantage, which has…

Teaching Aboriginal perspectives is a cross-curriculum priority aimed at supporting Aboriginal school students' beliefs about themselves and promoting mutual respect and understanding between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal members of society. Many teachers feel they lack the efficacy to teach Aboriginal perspectives, and this may have implications…
