The purpose of the present study was to identify the paths through which leaders' pretraining motivation and work environment lead to the transfer of leadership training. Building on self-determination theory and the Baldwin and Ford transfer model, we examined the role of leaders' autonomous and controlled motivation and the opportunity to use…

The societal and industrial relevance of chemistry has established its status as a compulsory subject in numerous national curricula. However, previous research highlights significant challenges faced by students in learning chemistry, largely attributed to its abstract nature and the multiple ways chemical concepts are represented. These…

This instrumental case study explored the experiences of two children diagnosed with an Intellectual Disability (ID) during interactive read-alouds delivered at home. Participating parents implemented interactive read-aloud strategies with ease and reported joy in the experience. The uniqueness of each child and the role of choice in reading…

Research on artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education largely emphasises technical performance and outcomes, leaving student views of teacher interpersonal behaviours in AI-mediated classrooms insufficiently understood. In response, this study applied Q methodology, supported by content and sentiment analyses, to examine student…

Children with typical hearing and vision learn to communicate by watching and listening to others. But children who are deafblind have limited access to learning this way. They need knowledgeable educators who understand how deafblindness impacts learning--who know how to assess a child's communication, plan for and engage in meaningful…

Dealing with students' conceptions is a central element of student-oriented teaching. Approaches, such as the mainly cognitive conceptual change theory, have been supplemented by a variety of affective and motivational factors. Little is yet known about the mechanism linking these factors. This qualitative study aims to shed light on the process…

This study responds to a recent call on coaches' professional identity work through a socially contextualised lens. Coaches, as the freelancer, encounter complex working relationships with clients due to multiple contracting entities; yet coaches' identity work has been neglected in the extant training and development courses. A total of 36…

Adolescent mothers (AMs) often experience limited academic and financial attainment and higher rates of mental health disorders, which may affect their relationships with their children. Although children of AMs are at higher risk for developmental delays, there is no clear evidence of the relationships between mother characteristics and child…

This study examines children's touch conduct in peer-group interaction in a Swedish preschool. Through a detailed analysis of 100 video-recorded touch episodes from everyday preschool activities, the study proposes an initial description of touch functions in children's peer groups. The results suggest that touch was primarily used to control…

Many academic teachers present data as static graphics in their lectures and courses. However, data structures have become more complex in the last decades, especially in the biomedical disciplines, and interactive graphics can provide a better means to communicate the scientific contents to students. Besides, the technological qualifications of…

Recent research has leveraged peer assessment as a grading system tool where learners are involved in learning and evaluation. However, there is limited knowledge regarding individual differences, such as personality, in peer assessment tasks. We analyze how personality factors affect the peer assessment dynamics of a semester-long remote learning…

The usual interpretation of the person and task variables in between-persons measurement models such as item response theory (IRT) is as attributes of persons and tasks, respectively. They can be viewed instead as ensemble descriptors of patterns of interactions among persons and situations that arise from sociocognitive complex adaptive system…

The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze how district superintendents foster and build relationships with school principals through their interactions to support and nurture strong leadership. From a transformational lens, I explored how the strength of such connectedness builds bridges to leadership sustainability. Reflections of…

As one of the fundamental tasks in the online learning platform, interactive course recommendation (ICR) aims to maximize the long-term learning efficiency of each student, through actively exploring and exploiting the student's feedbacks, and accordingly conducting personalized course recommendation. Recently, deep reinforcement learning (DRL)…

This study examines the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between student--faculty interaction and academic self-concept. Using data from a large public Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) in Southern California, the analysis suggests that although student-faculty interaction positively impacts academic self-concept for all students,…
