The problem explored in this study is the limited use of Open Educational Resources (OER) by health career community college faculty. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate local community college faculty members' perceptions about the use of OER in their program classrooms, the barriers to its use, and what resources they need…

This paper outlines how ideas of 'degrowth' might be used to reimagine sustainable forms of education technology. In essence, degrowth calls for a proactive renewal of technology use around goals of voluntary simplicity and slowing-down, community-based coproduction and sharing, alongside conscious minimalization of resource consumption. The paper…

All states have a formula that determines how state funding is distributed to school districts. Most state formulas anticipate or require that school districts raise some funds locally and adjust state allocations based on that anticipated local share of school funding. In theory, state funding formulas attempt to provide school districts with the…

Nature-based learning emphasizes experiential learning, as children actively engage with their surroundings, observe and investigate natural phenomena, and make connections between their experiences and academic concepts. Although many neurodivergent students have benefited from nature-based learning, most research to date has focused on the…

This study explores the experiences of families of young children with disabilities through the early childhood special education process in order to discuss supports that families found most helpful and identify areas in which additional support is required. The goal of this study is to inform practitioners within the early childhood special…

Interest in collaborative concept mapping studies has grown steadily over the years. However, insufficient studies compare collaborative concept mapping with other similarly robust collaborative activities. Another limitation is that existing collaborative concept mapping studies seldom elaborate on the extent of participants' interactions with…

Supplementary education, which is different from the formal education system, is more likely to reflect the other form of inequality in educational opportunities through the process of education. In China, supplementary education is generally divided into two sorts: academic-oriented classes and hobby-oriented classes. Using the dataset of China…

Self-regulated learning depends on task difficulty and on learners' resources and cognitive load, as described by an inverted U-shaped relationship in Seufert's (2018) model: for easy tasks, resources are high and load is low, so there is no need to regulate, whereas for difficult tasks, load is too high and resources are too low to regulate. Only…

Purpose: In this work, we aim to shed light on how co-resourcing and actors' practices impact the agricultural innovation process. Design/Methodology/Approach: In a first step, we conceptualized agricultural innovation as the process during which actors exchange solutions that enable innovation to emerge. To provide these solutions, actors…

Accountability pressures in education have risen steadily over the last two decades and public schools and districts now track school- and student-level data in response to state and federal mandates. Catholic schools and dioceses have not faced the same level of regulation over this period, and less is known about data access and use in the…

Considering job resources of college teachers as a mediating variable, this study analyzed the relationship between job crafting and job engagement and established a model of the mechanism underlying the effects of job crafting on job engagement. This theoretical hypothesis model was empirically validated using 300 valid questionnaires completed…

My concern in this article is how the university might become more distributed, less concentrated in particular places and times, and more permeable to different sorts of interests. In order to do this, I have written a partly autobiographical reflection on an attempt to practice the work of the university differently. It is the early story of a…

In design education, students benefit not only from their project courses' content but also from the information resources they contain. When it comes to the repetition of unique problems and solution-oriented approaches in the design professions, the resources used to research solutions for the problems encountered in design education are also…

This study investigated the relationships between counselors-in-training (CITs)'s social resources, burnout, engagement, and professional identity, using structural equation modeling. Results showed that CITs' professional identity partially mediated the relationships between social resources and burnout/engagement. Implications for counselor…
