School, apart from being a place of education and transmission of new knowledge, should also be a place of personal development and enhancement of students' well-being and mental resilience, while protecting mental health and preventing teacher burnout. The current covid-19 pandemic has made the need for psychological support for students and teachers more urgent than ever. The science of positive psychology has offered many tools and methods that are particularly effective in the school environment and in educational contexts in general. New tools, methods, and practices are needed to enhance the well-being and psychological resilience of students, teachers, and parents in a time of challenges such as the current pandemic and inflation that cause stress, uncertainty, and an increase in psychopathology.

The frequency of these cases calls into question issues of safety, risk factors, and prevention strategies within the modern school system. Critical Examination of School Violence and Disturbance in K-12 Education is an authoritative reference source for the latest research on youth violence in schools, offering a thorough analysis of contributing factors to such incidents and possible solutions to prevent future occurrences.

What does it mean to be an academic today? What kinds of experiences do students have, and how are they affected by what they learn? Why do so many students and their teachers feel like frauds? Can we learn to teach and research in ways that foster hope and deflate pretension? Academic Life and Labour in the New University: Hope and Other Choices addresses these big questions, discussing the challenges of teaching and researching in the contemporary university, the purpose of research and its fundamental value, and the role of the academy against the background of major changes to nature of the university itself. Drawing on a range of international media sources, political discourse and many years’ professional experience, this volume explores approaches to teaching and research, with special emphasis on the importance of collegiality, intellectual honesty and courage. With attention to the intersection of large-scale institutional changes and intellectual shifts such as the rise of transdisciplinarity and the development of a pluralist curriculum, this book proposes the pursuit of more ethical, compassionate and critical forms of teaching and research. As such, it will be of interest not only to scholars of cultural studies and education, but to all those who care about the fate of the university as an institution, including young scholars seeking to join the academy.

Psychological Perspectives on Understanding and Addressing Violence Against Children argues that in order to achieve comprehensive responses to violence against children (VAC), scholars and practitioners must develop a robust understanding of how direct, structural, and cultural forms of violence interact across social systems. This understanding of VAC motivates a multi-sectoral response that seeks to promote intergenerational health and well-being through addressing violence in all its forms. This volume is organized into three interconnected sections that explore violence across socioecological domains: violence against children in social macrosystems, violence against children in social microsystems, and ways to address VAC in practice and policy. With chapters highlighting diverse methodological approaches, context-specific case studies, and approaches to redress violence through practice and policy, this volume is designed to be a resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working to prevent VAC.

This book represents the emerging efforts of a growing international network of researchers and practitioners to promote the development and uptake of evidence-based pedagogies in higher education, at something a level approaching large-scale impact. By offering a communication venue that attracts and enhances much needed partnerships among practitioners and researchers in pedagogical innovation, we aim to change the conversation and focus on how we work and learn together – i.e. extending the implementation and knowledge of co–design methods. In this first edition of our Research Topic on Active Learning, we highlight two (of the three) types of publications we wish to promote. First are studies aimed at understanding the pedagogical designs developed by practitioners in their own practices by bringing to bear the theoretical lenses developed and tested in the education research community. These types of studies constitute the "practice pull" that we see as a necessary counterbalance to "knowledge push" in a more productive pedagogical innovation ecosystem based on research-practitioner partnerships. Second are studies empirically examining the implementations of evidence-based designs in naturalistic settings and under naturalistic conditions. Interestingly, the teams conducting these studies are already exemplars of partnerships between researchers and practitioners who are uniquely positioned as “in-betweens” straddling the two worlds. As a result, these publications represent both the rigours of research and the pragmatism of reflective practice. In forthcoming editions, we will add to this collection a third type of publication -- design profiles. These will present practitioner-developed pedagogical designs at varying levels of abstraction to be held to scrutiny amongst practitioners, instructional designers and researchers alike. We hope by bringing these types of studies together in an open access format that we may contribute to the development of new forms of practitioner-researcher interactions that promote co-design in pedagogical innovation.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: 75/100 (B), , language: English, abstract: The main objective of this study was to examine the perceptions of teachers, school administrators, faculty members, and department chairs on the strategic aspects of the Taiwanese educational system lessons for Nigeria. The study sifted through the debates surrounding the Nigerian education system. Compulsory 12-year schooling, higher education, teacher education, special education, arts education, supplementary, and continuing education were also examined as strategic aspects of the Taiwanese education system. Because the study sought to view only Taiwanese teachers, school administrators, faculty members, and department chairs about the strategic aspects of the Taiwanese education system, an ex-post facto research design was deemed most appropriate for the study. A questionnaire checklist was used in the study to elicit the perceptions of 179 teachers, school administrators, faculty members, and department chairs in public institutions in Taiwan. The instrument was reviewed by experts for content validity. Based on the judge’s understanding of the strategic aspects of the Taiwanese education system, their views and opinions were sufficiently qualified to provide insight into the reliability of the instrument. Data were analyzed using percent frequency, means, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC).
