Teachers' classroom management has serious implications for teachers' well-being, job satisfaction (Gale et al., 2021), burnout (Aloe Amo & Shanaha, 2014), and student outcomes (Gage, 2019). Understanding how teachers build self-efficacy for classroom management offers insights into how to provide better classroom environments for students,…

This study provides insight into the role of expertise in the process of team creativity. Existing process models, that is, the random variation model and the creative synthesis model, either fail to treat team as an independent creative entity or neglect the differentiation in the voice of individual members in team creative process. In contrast,…

Concerns about the supply of, and demand for, experts and expertise are prominent in research on outsourcing in health and physical education (HPE), and the state of the subject more broadly. Yet, precisely what is meant by 'expert' and 'expertise' in this scholarship is not always clear or uncontested. In this research, we used a scoping review…

Using an online, medical image labeling app, 803 individuals rated images of skin lesions as either "melanoma" (skin cancer) or "nevus" (a skin mole). Each block consisted of 80 images. Blocks could have high (50%) or low (20%) target prevalence and could provide full, accurate feedback or no feedback. As in prior work, with…

Responding to GenAI technologies, academics press for PLD that informs pedagogical practice and policy development. However, insufficient critical evaluation of whose knowledge informs this and its underlying complexity has resulted in excessively reductive offerings that either champion specific tools or advocate for their prohibition. Engaging…

Research universities are increasingly incorporating interdisciplinary education into their strategies. In this transition from monodisciplinary to interdisciplinary education, there is a need for insight into the optimal implementation of such activities. The current study investigates university lecturers' interpretations of interdisciplinary…

Complex eHealth interventions--featuring multiple components within dynamic systems--are used for healthcare improvement. Public-private partnerships (PPPs), combining resources, expertise, and technology, are crucial in this context. Yet, integrating these interventions into practice remains challenging. This study identifies barriers and…

As found in behavioral decision theory, venture capitalists (VCs) rely on heuristics and bias, owing to their bounded rationality, either by limited alternatives or information and resources. India's booming startup scene challenges VCs in decision-making owing to information overload from numerous evolving ventures, which hinders informed…

Visual inference involves using prior knowledge and contextual cues to make educated guesses about incomplete or ambiguous information. This study explores the role of visual inference as a function of expertise in the context of fingerprint examination, where professional examiners need to determine whether two fingerprints were left by the same…

This paper employs Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as an analytical heuristic in exploring the internationally prevalent situation of teaching out-of-field. Drawing on interview transcripts, we use CHAT to frame the activity of a young teacher teaching mathematics out-of-field in a small rural K-12 school in Australia. We identify and…

This study examines Thailand's educational knowledge system, analyzing its structural characteristics, challenges, and opportunities for development. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combined survey data from 195 faculty members, in-depth interviews with 30 experts, and analysis of institutional research outputs from 2016-2021. The…

This study describes a novel measure of children's Theory of Mind (ToM) development--called the Comprehensive Assessment of ToM (CAT)--that addresses limitations in existing ToM measures. This behavioral measure includes three-six items each about diverse desires, diverse beliefs, knowledge access, knowledge expertise, false belief, and visual…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine employers' perspectives on developing the soft skills of business graduates via university-industry partnership in a "developing country" context. Design/methodology/approach: Informed by the interpretivist paradigm, a qualitative study was conducted by exploring the perspectives of 24…

Prior to COVID-19, educational developers (EDs) experienced demanding workloads and significant burnout from their daily practice. This study explores how the nature of work for EDs was experienced and altered during the pandemic, and how this affected our well-being and burnout levels. Analyzing surveys from 60 Canadian EDs, results show high…

This study investigated the impact of participating in a year-long digital-fabrication course on high-school seniors' problem-solving skills, with a focus on problems involving mechanistic systems. The research questions centered on whether working in a makerspace impacted students' abilities to solve such problems and whether the process data…
