Introduction: Sedentary behaviour among individuals with intellectual disabilities, driven by barriers such as limited access to adapted programs and low self-efficacy, contributes to chronic health conditions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Valemee Visual System (VVS), a novel tool offering visual support and structured exercise…

Background: Given the current sociopolitical climate, people with intellectual disabilities are spending more time at home. Much housing-related research focuses on informant-completed measures and quantifiable outcomes. By contrast, this article explores the perspectives of adults with intellectual disabilities concerning what they liked or…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational ecosystems represents a paradigm shift in pedagogical practices and educational governance. While AI offers unprecedented opportunities to personalize learning, optimize administrative processes, and provide intelligent tutoring, it poses significant challenges to maintaining human…

Purpose: Guided by self-determination theory, this research examined cross-cultural differences in associations of students' perceptions of teachers' (de-)motivating approaches on Estonian and Spanish students' need satisfaction from a circumplex model. Method: The participants were 601 Estonian (56% girls) and 669 Spanish (52% girls) secondary…

The book aims to challenge and redefine the traditional Enlightenment approach to education by advocating for a Post-Enlightenment model that emphasizes self-education rooted in individual autonomy, dignity, and diverse experiences. It critiques the Enlightenment's narrow focus on rationality and hierarchy, proposing a more inclusive and…

The psychological state of interest depends, among other factors, on the individual's prior interest as well as on the situationally perceived need satisfaction for relatedness, competence, and autonomy. Regarding out-of-school learning in biology education, the extent to which this is equally true remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to…

Recent work suggests that young children develop strong intuitions about inequitable resource distribution when it arises due to fair and unfair procedures (merit, structural, or random chance). Here, we investigated an understudied form of inequality: one that arises due to a single suboptimal choice (referred to as self-inflicted inequality).…

This book addresses the distance between contemporary philosophical critiques of education and the classroom context by applying new insights from social philosophy, neurology and historical analysis to common school practices. Critiquing contemporary academic and political debates concerning the use, and misuse, of assessment tools, psychometric…

Artificial intelligence has become an important force in higher education, especially in language learning. Existing research has mainly focussed on its influence on academic performance, with limited attention to psychological outcomes, so this study aimed to examine the effects of personal learning experience, social emotional learning and…

Drawing on the job demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, this study explored the roles of two types of resources, namely academic buoyancy (a personal resource) and perceived autonomy support (a social resource), and their interactive effect on self-regulated learning (an adaptive outcome), controlling for age, gender, and…

Growing concern about children's writing motivation highlights the need for more research that foregrounds pupil autonomy and examines how classroom practices influence students' sense of agency and control in their writing. This study adopts a self-determination theory (SDT) perspective to explore the role of autonomy and locus of control in…

School-based makerspaces are increasingly recognized as powerful contexts for fostering creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. However, educational research on creativity has often prioritized individual traits or final products, underemphasizing the environmental conditions -- physical, social, emotional, and cognitive -- that shape…

In this article, I theorize a Black sense of place, from the interior--as geoaesthetic praxis and as a break from being a colonial subject. Composed within the traditions of Black studies and prior scholarship on geospatial praxis, the work draws on the aesthetic, spatial, and pedagogical orientations that emerge from understanding Black…

This report presents two attempts made to promote learner autonomy at a Sino-British university in China. The first is a flipped learning approach in a Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) A1 level module, where approximately 600 students were enrolled. It was introduced to run the module effectively without reducing the number of groups…

Four educators from Nepal engaged in a collaborative autoethnographic inquiry to examine how community engagement can transform higher education through interdisciplinary, reflective, and contextually grounded approaches. Drawing on data from a two-month pilot residential program in Panchkhal Municipality, Nepal, we explored how students…
