Transformative learning in education requires pedagogical change to challenge where knowledge is situated and dislodge the unmerited privileges associated with conventional practices of language and emotion in classrooms. Responding to this call, this paper centers the experiences of two learners with refugee backgrounds and explores how a spoken…

This study investigated the bidirectional associations between teacher and parent autonomy support and adolescents' academic motivation in mathematics. A total of 2317 secondary students (49.10% female; M[subscript age] = 14.07 years) completed the same survey twice within a year. Using bifactor exploratory structural equation modelling to specify…

An established body of research details the faculty role in promoting student engagement. Newer scholarship on agentic engagement foregrounds student-initiated engagement in classroom learning. Our SoTL project explored how participating in student-faculty pedagogical partnerships supported two undergraduate students in expanding agentic…

While laboratories have long been associated with introductory physics courses, there is doubt as to whether they positively impact student learning. Holmes and Wieman found that students who elected to take optional laboratories fared no better across a range of metrics than their counterparts who did not participate. In addition, these…

The 'new' sociology of childhood sees an emergence of interdisciplinary approaches to understanding self, experience and subjectivity of children. As debates frame research with children, concerned with 'ethics' and 'agency', what is meant by the 'subject' of experience is given little attention. In this article, I ask whether narratives are a…

World-class science requires inspiration, so how can we spark creativity in the modern university environment? Creativity does not come automatically: in the modern age, factors from electronic devices to time pressure can stifle creative thought. Yet, to solve the major problems of the future, it will be essential to stimulate creativity in…

Psychological misconceptions are common among students taking psychology courses. In this study, we show an association between student endorsement of misconceptions and two prevalent and well-researched lay beliefs about the human mind, specifically the belief in free will and dualism. This study also revisits and builds upon past research…

In this study, we adopted a person-oriented approach to (a) identify latent profiles of adolescents characterized by unique patterns of perceived teacher autonomy support and student agency, (b) investigate whether perceived interpersonal justice can predict profile membership and (c) compare different profiles in relation to personal…

A recent article in this journal suggests that although "learner agency" is central to understanding young people's engagement with the curriculum, there is little exploration of such ideas in the field. In response, they argued for an Archerian approach to learner agency and a contextually, interpersonally, intra-personally and…

Purpose: The adolescent developmental task of establishing autonomy from parents is supported through various aspects of executive functioning, including critical thinking. Our aim was to investigate younger and older adolescent language performance in form, content, and use in response to a moral dilemma task. Method: Forty-four typically…

The study examines parental mediation strategies of adolescent Internet use and their relation to adolescent age, concerns of online risks, online activities and risky behavior. Prior research on parental mediation is inconclusive about the effectiveness or superiority of any mediation strategy. Additionally, concerns and awareness of risks were…

In the study, it was aimed to examine whether the levels of authenticity of the parents are predicted by the need for social approval, self-liking, and self-competence. 308 parents (223 females, 85 males), whose children attend kindergarten and primary schools, participated in the study. Research data were collected by researcher applying the…

In this article, I move forward the tradition of visuality, or visual studies, in art education in the following ways: I examine, criticize, and expand concepts that are fundamental to the largely ignored subgroup--early childhood art education. I extend the study of images and visuality to unpack current political apparatuses and affects…

The Learning Climate Questionnaire (LCQ) measures teacher autonomy support in the classroom. There are various versions of the LCQ available, a 15-item full-scale version and a 6-item shortened version. Recent research suggests that using a 5-item version of LCQ is a more effective measure of teacher autonomy support. Using data from a sample of…

Leveraging big data for student data analytics is increasingly integrated throughout university operations from admissions to advising to teaching and learning. Though the possibilities are exciting to consider, they are not without risks to student autonomy, privacy, equity, and educational value. There has been little research showing how…
