In this article we consider the use of visual images to assess perceptions of plants. Using data drawn from a Swedish study we review our choices regarding the type of image used, and the responses they provoked. Furthermore, we consider these choices in the light of other studies, propose a tentative model of levels of seeing, and call for…

Inhibition and Working Memory (WM) are crucial predictors of everyday life autonomies in people with Down Syndrome (DS). We aimed to investigate the possible relationship between different levels of autonomy, inhibitory sub-components and WM in people with DS. Twenty-two adolescents and adults with DS were enrolled in the study and were assessed…

With the increasingly prominent characteristics of data-intensive and AI-driven scientific paradigms, computing power has become a crucial pillar of research activities. This study aims to examine the knowledge innovation effects of university supercomputing development by theoretically proposing two mechanisms: the efficiency effect (including…

This study examines the impact of multilingualism and socioeconomic status on academic performance within the UK, utilising data from 3,213 pupils from the National Pupil Database who also took part in the Study of Cognition, Adolescents and Mobile Phones (SCAMP). We employed multilevel modelling to analyse the relationship between language…

School transfers may be particularly challenging for students with special educational needs (SEN), and may negatively impact academic and social outcomes for these students. In countries with multiple placement options for students with SEN, although transfers between different types of placements are plausible, studies on this phenomenon are…

In this article, we contribute to a discussion of ethics within school bullying research by reflecting on our own recent ethnographic study into the relations between school bullying and the institutional context of schooling conducted at three elementary schools and one lower-secondary school in Sweden. We argue for a reflexive, responsive, and…

Climate change is deepening the global learning crisis and threatening children's ability to learn. Nearly half the world's children--approximately 1 billion--live in countries with extremely high risks of climate and environmental shocks. This snapshot presents an analysis of country-specific school disruptions caused by climate hazards in 85…

The aim of the present research was to develop a competence-based curriculum for art therapy with older people. Following a literature research and a structured review of art therapy curricula from Germany and Europe, a competence-based catalog of basic learning objectives was compiled by an interdisciplinary steering group. This was subsequently…

Introduction: This study examines the effectiveness of local community cultural service providers in Hungary, focusing on how community venues and public cultural institutions contribute to cultural learning. Methods: A time-series analysis was conducted based on OSAP 1438 cultural statistical data collected between 2014 and 2023. The dataset…

In Chile, mathematics results are insufficient at the school level. To address this problem, the need to rethink teaching has been raised. Evidence indicates that epistemological beliefs are at the basis of pedagogical decisions, and their study has been developed mainly in primary and secondary school teachers. However, scientific evidence is…

Understanding how resilience evolves across the lifespan is crucial for the development of targeted interventions and strategies aimed at promoting resilience. This study aims to investigate the complex interplay between resilience, positive personality traits, and hope in emerging adults. The criterion sampling method was employed to select…

Information literacy (IL) is an essential skill for Biology students amidst the development of information flow. Several studies show that students' IL is still low and needs to be improved. One of the courses that students consider difficult is Animal Physiology due to the nature of the discipline. Educators tend to apply three different learning…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether there is evidence that tailored provision for creative practice was spreading across disciplines in the UK during the period 2014-2020. In doing so, the author examined the potential and limitations of the archives of a national research assessment exercise as a source for understanding perceived…

Purpose: This study aims to offer an original criterion of assessment for examiners of practice-based doctorates in contemporary arts practices, based upon the degree of intrigue, perceptual and conceptual, afforded by the research outputs. It is argued that intrigue is the necessary stimulus for the states of attention required for the…

The correct language to refer to someone with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder has received a lot of attention in recent years. Studies in English-speaking countries found a main identity-first language (IFL) preference (e.g. autistic person) opposed to a person-first language preference (PFL) (e.g. person with autism) among adults with…
