Mind-wandering has been linked with poor educational outcomes, yet can also benefit goal-directed behaviour. We reasoned that mind-wandering should benefit exam performance under certain motivational conditions,…

Research on (pre-service) teachers has gained substantial prominence as research has shown that (lack of) motivation, quality of teaching, and teachers' mental health are strongly interrelated. Current research in educational psychology has prominently shown that reported associations of variables often differ.

Embodied dissemination recognises and engages the involvement of the physical body in the sharing of research work. Trainee researchers need to be able to identify the users of their work and how they might be reached. Yet…

What is the aim of giftedness? Is the goal to narrow in on the gifts of a select few or to nurture everyone's gifts such that they may be exchanged with each other? Drawing from creativity theory, we emphasize the possible interactive element of giftedness. Current paradigms risk ignoring hidden creativities and for potential to remain in the…
