To plan upcoming hundred years of success, society must establish an effective teaching structure and cultivate a collaborative environment among teaching faculty. This study attempts to identify the challenges faced by teaching faculty and the conflicts that arise in their professional pathways, and detrimental impact of adverse faculty relationship on students' educational outcomes. Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 324 educators and 546 university students across 36 higher educational institutions in Pakistan. Pairwise correlation and multivariate regression analyses were employed to drive and analyze results. The findings reveal that teacher's misbehavior (TM), illicit teachers' relationship (TR) and university climate (UC) all exert negative impacts on students' educational outcomes (SEO) at higher educational institutions . Additionally, we discovered that misbehavior between educators and higher discontent in university resources cause interpersonal conflict (IPC) between educators, subsequently adversely affecting students learning. These findings imply that students' educational outcomes can be improved by minimizing adverse faculty relationships. It is pertinent to mention here that the study focuses specifically on the context of higher educational institutions in Pakistan. The findings may not be directly generalize-able to other countries or educational systems, as cultural and contextual factors can significantly influence teacher-teacher interactions and student outcomes. Nonetheless, the study provides valuable insights into the importance of fostering positive relationships among teaching faculty and the potential impact on students' educational outcomes.

Policymakers, funders, and researchers today view research-practice partnerships (RPPs) as a promising approach for expanding the role of research in improving educational practice. Although studies in other fields provide evidence of the potential for RPPs, studies in education are few. This article provides a review of available evidence of the outcomes and dynamics of RPPs in education and related fields. It then outlines a research agenda for the study of RPPs that can guide funders' investments and help developing partnerships succeed.

An initiative of the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (formerly the Center for the Advancement of Pharmaceutical Education) (CAPE), the CAPE Educational Outcomes are intended to be the target toward which the evolving pharmacy curriculum should be aimed. Their development was guided by an advisory panel composed of educators and practitioners nominated for participation by practitioner organizations. CAPE 2013 represents the fourth iteration of the Educational Outcomes, preceded by CAPE 1992, CAPE 1998 and CAPE 2004 respectively. The CAPE 2013 Educational Outcomes were released at the AACP July 2013 Annual meeting and have been revised to include 4 broad domains, 15 subdomains, and example learning objectives.

Although a lot is known about teacher development by means of formal learning activities, research on teachers' everyday learning is limited. In the current systematic review, we analyzed 74 studies focusing on teachers' informal learning to identify teachers' learning activities, antecedents for informal learning, and learning outcomes. In addition, we examined whether beginning and more experienced teachers differ with regard to informal learning. Results revealed different types of learning activities in the two groups and interesting relationships among different antecedents and various learning outcomes. Moreover, it can be concluded that the main difference between beginning and more experienced teachers lies not in the type of learning activities they undertake but rather in their attitudes toward learning, their learning outcomes, and how they are influenced by their context.

The construct of school climate has received attention as a way to enhance student achievement and reduce problem behaviors. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the existing literature on school climate and to bring to light the strengths, weakness, and gaps in the ways researchers have approached the construct. The central information in this article is organized into five sections. In the first, we describe the theoretical frameworks to support the multidimensionality of school climate and how school climate impacts student outcomes. In the second, we provide a breakdown of the four domains that make up school climate, including academic, community, safety, and institutional environment. In the third, we examine research on the outcomes of school climate. In the fourth, we outline the measurement and analytic methods of the construct of school climate. Finally, we summarize the strengths and limitations of the current work on school climate and make suggestions for future research directions.

Many teachers and educational researchers have claimed to adopt tenets of culturally relevant education (CRE). However, recent work describes how standardized curricula and testing have marginalized CRE in educational reform discourses. In this synthesis of research, we sought examples of research connecting CRE to positive student outcomes across content areas. It is our hope that this synthesis will be a reference useful to educational researchers, parents, teachers, and education leaders wanting to reframe public debates in education away from neoliberal individualism, whether in a specific content classroom or in a broader educational community.

In this meta-analysis, we systematically reviewed research on digital games and learning for K–16 students. We synthesized comparisons of game versus nongame conditions (i.e., media comparisons) and comparisons of augmented games versus standard game designs (i.e., value-added comparisons). We used random-effects meta-regression models with robust variance estimates to summarize overall effects and explore potential moderator effects. Results from media comparisons indicated that digital games significantly enhanced student learning relative to nongame conditions (ḡ = 0.33, 95% confidence interval [0.19, 0.48], k = 57, n = 209). Results from value-added comparisons indicated significant learning benefits associated with augmented game designs (ḡ = 0.34, 95% confidence interval [0.17, 0.51], k = 20, n = 40). Moderator analyses demonstrated that effects varied across various game mechanics characteristics, visual and narrative characteristics, and research quality characteristics. Taken together, the results highlight the affordances of games for learning as well as the key role of design beyond medium.

Background Artificial intelligence (AI) has a variety of potential applications in health professions education and assessment; however, measurable educational impacts of AI-based educational strategies on learning outcomes have not been systematically evaluated. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using electronic databases (CINAHL Plus, EMBASE, Proquest, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) to identify studies published until October 1st 2024, analyzing the impact of AI-based tools/interventions in health profession assessment and/or training on educational outcomes. The present analysis follows the PRISMA 2020 statement for systematic reviews and the structured approach to reporting in health care education for evidence synthesis. Results The final analysis included twelve studies. All were single centers with sample sizes ranging from 4 to 180 participants. Three studies were randomized controlled trials, and seven had a quasi-experimental design. Two studies were observational. The studies had a heterogenous design. Confounding variables were not controlled. None of the studies provided learning objectives or descriptions of the competencies to be achieved. Three studies applied learning theories in the development of AI-powered educational strategies. One study reported the analysis of the authenticity of the learning environment. No study provided information on the impact of feedback activities on learning outcomes. All studies corresponded to Kirkpatrick’s second level evaluating technical skills or quantifiable knowledge. No study evaluated more complex tasks, such as the behavior of learners in the workplace. There was insufficient information on training datasets and copyright issues. Conclusions The results of the analysis show that the current evidence regarding measurable educational outcomes of AI-powered interventions in health professions education is poor. Further studies with a rigorous methodological approach are needed. The present work also highlights that there is no straightforward guide for evaluating the quality of research in AI-based education and suggests a series of criteria that should be considered. Trial registration Methods and inclusion criteria were defined in advance, specified in a protocol and registered in the OSF registries ( https://osf.io/v5cgp/ ). Clinical Trial number: not applicable.

Research has consistently shown that inquiry-based learning can be more effective than other, more expository instructional approaches as long as students are supported adequately. But what type of guidance is adequate, and for whom? These questions are difficult to answer as most previous research has only focused on one type of guidance and one type of learner. This meta-analysis therefore synthesized the results of 72 studies to compare the effectiveness of different types of guidance for different age categories. Results showed facilitative overall effects of guidance on learning activities (d = 0.66, 95% CI [0.44, 0.88]), performance success (d = 0.71, 95% CI [0.52, 0.90]), and learning outcomes (d = 0.50, 95% CI [0.37, 0.62]). Type of guidance moderated the effects on performance success but not on the other two outcome measures. Considerable variation was found in the effects of guidance on learning activities, but the relatively low number of studies do not allow for any definitive conclusion on possible agerelated differences.

This meta-analysis examined which classroom management strategies and programs enhanced students' academic, behavioral, social-emotional, and motivational outcomes in primary education. The analysis included 54 random and nonrandom controlled intervention studies published in the past decade (2003–2013). Results showed small but significant effects (average g = 0.22) on all outcomes, except for motivational outcomes. Programs were coded for the presence/absence of four categories of strategies: focusing on the teacher, on student behavior, on students' social-emotional development, and on teacher–student relationships. Focusing on the students' social-emotional development appeared to have the largest contribution to the interventions' effectiveness, in particular on the social-emotional outcomes. Moreover, we found a tentative result that students' academic outcomes benefitted from teacher-focused programs.
