Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in educational processes, yet much of the literature continues to examine individual tools rather than the relationships amongst pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, knowledge validation, institutional authority, and governance. This systematic narrative review examines these relationships whilst explicitly separating evidence-based patterns from conc…

Educational outcomes in Portugal vary across regions, reflecting territorial and socioeconomic disparities. This paper examines how geographic location, regional socioeconomic conditions and school factors are associated with student achievement, using published evidence from PISA and TIMSS, Portuguese empirical studies, regional indicators and policy documents. The analysis combines a targeted n…

In the final weeks of the summer term, my five-year-old daughter came home each day with updates on the eggs that they had at school: how they’d all hatched, what they’d been named, how a “cheeky” one tried to run away during her turn handling them. But shortly before term ended, she told me it […] The post Beyond “Cute”: Classroom Chicks and the Aims of Education first appeared on Blog of the AP…

Aesthetic leadership emphasizes the experiential dimensions of leadership processes, including sensory engagement, emotion, embodied presence, and symbolic expression. Its focus differs from that of transformational leadership, which primarily emphasizes visionary inspiration, and from school climate research, which centers on shared perceptions of the organizational environment. However, althoug…

IntroductionPositive leadership is frequently associated with work engagement, but it remains unclear whether teachers’ perceptions of displayed charismatic leadership behaviors are directly associated with engagement or are linked to it through distinct professional resources. This study examined the indirect associations connecting perceived charismatic leadership with teachers’ work engagement…

The increasing emphasis on convergence research to address complex societal challenges has exposed persistent gaps in how STEM education prepares students and faculty for effective interdisciplinary collaboration. At the same time, efforts to broaden participation in STEM have often relied on deficit-oriented models that overlook the cultural dimensions of academic systems. In this Perspective pa…

In 2017, Alex Campbell, a sociology teacher at Elizabethton High School in Tennessee, offered his students the assignment of a lifetime: Could they solve a notorious series of cold-case murders that had stumped law enforcement for more than three decades? He warned them up front: “This is going to be the hardest class you’ve ever […]

_Humanities and Social Sciences Communications_ 12. 2025This theoretical paper aims to develop an ecological approach to education based on a framework for human-nature connection called the life-sustenance hypothesis. Human-nature connection has been shown to affect well-being, prosociality, and pro-environmental inclinations. Thus, enhancing nature connectedness in education could potentially h…

Not every school challenge calls for the same solution, but most systems are only fluent in one approach. In this new piece, Nate McClennen and Rebecca Midles unpack the critical differences between implementation science, innovation, and improvement science, and show leaders how to build the organizational fluency to use all three. If your system defaults to implementation for every problem, or …

This study examines the development of technical competencies among future electrical power engineers through professionally oriented physics education. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design with experimental and control groups was used. The study involved 60 undergraduate students enrolled in an Electrical Power Engineering programme at Almaty University of Power Engineering and Telecom…

IntroductionWith the understanding of the concept of logarithms, the teaching of logarithmic inequalities becomes one of the important topics in mathematics education. This study focuses on strengthening pre-service teachers’ subject-matter competence through complex (enriched-question-based) logarithmic inequalities, broadening their perspectives, enabling them to approach problems from differen…
