The IEA's International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) investigates the ways in which young people around the world are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens. This report presents the international results from the third cycle of the study (ICCS 2022). Based on data from 24 countries or benchmarking participants from Europe,…

This study explores the experiences of transnational Latina mothers whose children are enrolled in hyper-gentrified dual-language programs. Drawing upon transnationalism (Sánchez & Kasun, 2012) and differential consciousness (Sandoval, 1991), I explored how these mothers' own complex identities informed their navigation of conflicting…

Elitism has been an issue in Canadian French immersion since its inception. This study examines how two racially diverse Ontarian school boards and Ontario French immersion policy, curricula, and other related documents construct and support an elite student within the immersion program. The elite student who emerged from immersion documents is a…

Despite calls for social justice and inclusion in higher education, there is still growing structural inequality in terms of access to education, which extends to structural and economic oppression of marginalised groups. Student inclusion in design, creation and evaluation of curricula is lauded in research as essential for student belonging,…

Research suggests that America today is more politically polarized and less capable of conducting civil public discourse than at least the last several decades. These greater cultural factors unsurprisingly seem to have trickled into American schools, as teachers report increased divisiveness and conflict, particularly directed toward…

Service-learning is a high-impact educational practice that benefits the community, the university, and students (Jacoby, 2015). It also represents an educational practice that specifically supports the integration of Christian thought and action within Christian institutions (Schaffer, 2004). The purpose of the study was to determine the level of…

This quasi-experimental study examined how the approach of mobile learning and authentic practice (MobiLAP) may foster scientific citizenship among ninth grade students. It was hypothesized that students that form identities as citizen scientists may have more favorable attitudes to contribute to citizen science, have greater interest in science…

Though many studies explore arts participation at the P-12 level and attendance at the adult level, there remains little to no exploration on who attends arts events throughout college. Being an egalitarian period of life where on-campus arts programing remains either free or at a reduced cost, college may be one of the last areas to cultivate…

We address the notion that different student grouping configurations in the classroom may provide different sets of opportunities for English learners (ELs) -- students whose home language is not English (the language of instruction in the U.S.) -- to both learn science and develop a second language through different forms of social interaction.…

The COVID-19 pandemic widened existing educational inequities for Black and Latino students, students who are English learners, and students with disabilities. Research shows that family engagement has a positive impact on student outcomes; therefore, forging connections between schools and families as enrollment rebounds will be especially…

The authors of this article, a 7-12 English teacher, a 7-12 social studies teacher, sought to cultivate spaces where their students could "wrestle with making sense of systemic oppression that exists within historic, geographic, and economic structures of our reality" (Duncan et al., 2023, p. 241) and, hopefully, sustain their civic…

Early Head Start (EHS) programs provide a comprehensive array of two-generation, family-centered services to infants, toddlers, pregnant people, and their families. These include child development services, child care, parenting education, case management, health care and referrals, and other family support services. EHS provides comprehensive…

This report presents findings from the 2023-2024 MacPhail Online School Partnerships (OSP) evaluation, focusing on outcomes and satisfaction for participating students and schools. The key findings include: (1) In terms of school engagement, student survey data suggests some positive impact. About half of students surveyed report that…

The notion of the "teacher as researcher" has been in the education lexicon since the mid-1970s. School-based research, we suggest, is currently enjoying something of a renaissance, flourishing within the emerging, complex school landscape. This empirical research engages with 25 school leaders to explore the ways in which…

Purpose: Maintaining the success of educational institutions largely depends on the teacher. It is the teacher whose main efforts and contribution help in achieving the goals in education. The purpose of this paper is to examine the current state of the programme delivery and how involving the active participation of the teacher will help enhance…
