Author(s):
Joel Heng Hartse, Ismaeil Fazel
Abstract: In this chapter, using a duoethnographic method, we present a reflective dialogue about our peer mentorship experiences in writing for publication, from the time we were doctoral students to our current status as early-career academics. Theoretically, we draw on the notion of academic discourse socialization to illustrate how the collaborations between us as academics coming from different socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds…


Physical literacy, health and interactive aging: a position paper
Author(s):
Stephen Smith; Sahingil, Derya; Lloyd, Rebecca J.
Keywords: active aging; interactive flow; joy; older adult; physical literacy
Abstract: Physical literacy (PL), a concept commonly associated with the early years, physical education, and youth sport development, can become a meaningful determinant of health and longevity for the adult and older adult population. A review of 55 recent publications from 2018 to 2023 that encompassed physical literacy conceptual frameworks, assessments, and intervention-based studies was undertaken through an heuristic inspired by the philosophy which gave birth to PL…

Power of nonverbal behavior in online business negotiations: understanding trust, honesty, satisfaction, and beyond
Author(s):
Tenzin Doleck; Kazemitabar, Maedeh; Mirzapour, Hossein; Akhshi, Maryam; Vatankhah, Monireh; Hatami, Javad
Keywords: business negotiation; non-verbal signals; social-psychological team factors; verbal content; Virtual teams
Abstract: Digital teamwork has become prevalent and is ever since becoming part of the human work- and life-style, globally. But in comparison with face-to-face setting, virtual teams face multifold challenges. To date, scarce empirical research has examined whether team-breaking challenges are associated with limited access to peer nonverbal signals. This study examines whether access to body signals is associated with effective teamwork, and whether limited access provokes key team challenges…

We preliminarily review how LLMs can be integrated into educational contexts with their technical features, open-source nature, and applicability. Through a systematic search, we have identified a selection of open-source LLMs that have been released or significantly updated post-2021…

Pre-service Teachers' Experiences of Learning with/in
Author(s):
Kumari Beck, Jas K Uppal-Hershorn
Abstract: Along with the intensification of internationalization of higher education globally, study abroad has become more prevalent in higher education institutions. Here in the Global North, study abroad refers to domestic students going abroad for short-term academic programs in another country, whereas elsewhere, the term commonly refers to all academic student mobility, including full-length degree programs in a country outside one's own (Cushner and Karim 2004).

Reimagining Learning Contexts and Learner Agency in K-12 Science Education: A Critical Review
Author(s):
Engida Gebre, Emmeline Hoogland, Addisu Leyew Bailie
Abstract: "In the last few decades, the purpose of science education has been called into question mainly for not being impactful enough for students’ everyday lives. In part, this has to do with the framing and use of learning contexts; what educators consider as influential contexts are external to the students thereby providing learners with limited agency to modify and work with them…

Author(s):
Nathalie Sinclair, Alf Coles
Keywords: Mathematical connections, difference, affect
Abstract: In this theoretical article, we explore the possibility that instead of a mathematical connection arising “in-between” two (or more) pre-existing ideas or objects, which have presumably been known or understood, that connection is itself the motor of understanding.

Salsa Rhythms and Soul Connections
Author(s):

Keywords: flow; relational reflexivity; rhythm; salsa dance
Abstract: The rhythmic interplay of accent, tempo, and musical mood is expressed in the bodily postures, gestures, and expressions of attuned responsiveness in Salsa Dura, a genre of salsa music from the 1970s featuring improvisational dance solos. These dancers embrace the feelings and flows of soloing musicians going off and breaking free from any predictable form and structure...

SCRIPTWRITING AS A CATALYST FOR LINKING UNDERGRADUATE AND SCHOOL MATHEMATICS
Author(s):
Andrew Kercher, Rina Zazkis
Abstract: Scripting tasks are a powerful tool for both mathematics education researchers and teacher educators, in part because the resultant dialogues provide insight into the scriptwriters' mathematical understanding and pedagogical inclinations. In this paper, we argue that scripting tasks used in mathematics education also provide an opportunity to deliver follow-up lessons that link undergraduate and school mathematics. These lessons facilitate mathematical connections by building directly on scriptwriters' experiences, as captured in their dialogues, and in turn, enrich their teaching practice.

Secondary School Students’ Understanding of Learning Contexts in Science Education: Perspectives from Ethiopia
Author(s):
Engida Gebre, Dawit Asrat Getahun
Keywords: Learning contexts, contextualising science learning, students’ engagement, science education
Abstract: There is increasing recognition of the importance of learning contexts in science education. However, learning contexts are rarely articulated in terms of what they constitute and are often framed by educators and textbooks with limited inputs from students. Unless properly articulated, contexts become anything and everything, thereby losing their relevance for practical aspects of science teaching and learning…

The Anthropocene Subject and Emancipation: The Challenge of “Emancipatory” Pedagogy in an Era of Climate Crisis
Author:
Cary Campbell
Abstract: In “What is Enlightenment?” Kant (1784) proposed the close connection between the Enlightenment political project, the aims of education and the philosophical logic of emancipation. In short, he confirmed the Enlightenment subject and condition as an “ultimate destination” of humanity and thus a central aim of education. In this chapter, I aim to articulate how the conditions of the Anthropocene—as revealed through the Anthropocene subject (see (Dufresne, The democracy of suffering: Life on the edge of catastrophe, philosophy in the Anthropocene. McGill-Queen’s Press-MQUP, 2019…

The challenge of postdigital literacy: Extending multimodality and social semiotics for a new age
Author(s):
Cary Campbell, Alin Olteanu
Abstract: Research in this journal has argued the importance of developing new understandings of literacy and education in the face of rapid and widespread (post)digital reconfigurations in how we learn, communicate, and even exist as embodied ecological beings. Alongside and predating interest in the postdigital, multimodality research developed significant theory and methods for articulating the implications of emerging digital media, showing the need for a ‘multiliteracies’ approach in education…

The Experiences of Staff Regarding Language in the Internationalizing University
Author(s):
Roumiana Ilieva, Camila Miranda
Abstract: The global landscape of higher education has been characterized over the past several decades by internationalization processes. One of the drivers of internationalization is student mobility, mainly toward countries in the Global North/West (Maringe and Foskett 2012). As a consequence, there has been an increase in the diversity of cultures and languages coexisting in higher education institutions around the world...
