PhD Opportunity - Building a sense of direction: how do thalamus and cortex interact?
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project background: The “sense of direction” is created by the brain in the form of head direction cells, which are neurons that become active when the had faces in a particular direction (a different direction for each cell). Read more

Speech processing of contact varieties
Which specific cues listeners attend to most in spoken word recognition (SWR) is driven by the linguistic properties of the language varieties and the social context in which the variety is spoken. Read more

Emotion and motivation in everyday informal learning: A big data machine learning approach
Students learn in classrooms and schools. However, students also learn a lot more from everyday experiences in informal environments. Read more
Impacts of Human–AI Collaboration Types on Students’ Creativity and Agency in Artefact Design
Studies have suggested that there are diverse types of human-AI collaboration categorized by varying degrees of contribution from each entity (e.g., high AI contribution and low human contribution, low AI contribution and high human contribution; Liu & Bridgeman, 2023; Ouyang & Jiao, 2021; Sowa et al., 2021).

Positive Youth Development in sport and physical activity contexts
Participation in competitive sport is associated with a range of potential positive and negative consequences in athletes’ wellbeing. Read more
Understanding the well-being and academic competence of youth in high-achieving schools
A growing body of research in Western settings shows that, despite significant educational – and often financial – advantages, youth who grow up in high-achieving contexts tend to report higher rates of internalizing and externalizing problems compared to national norms (Luthar et al., 2013; Luthar et al., 2020a).

Deliberate, guided failure in learning through problem-solving
Can learning be enriched by embracing failure? Many educational systems shy away from failure-driven learning, emphasizing instruction-first methods. Read more
Rethinking Chemistry Triplet in the Era of Artificial Intelligence (ReCheT-AI)
Chemistry education has long been indebted to the chemistry triplet (CT) paradigm, initially proposed by Johnstone (1982). The triplet asserts that chemistry phenomena can be taught in terms of macro, micro, and symbolic representations and their relationship. Read more
