Mentoring for access, retention, and student success
Equity of access to higher education is a global objective, with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 setting a target of ‘equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university’ by 2030 [United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goals. 2015. Accessed January 31. https://sdgs.un.org/goals.] In Ireland and internationally, mentoring has emerged as a key intervention to supp…
Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Male Students’ Hesitancy to Study Biology in Ireland
While it is evident that Ireland has the ambition to widen access to higher education, there are challenges; especially regarding the decision-making process of socio-economically disadvantaged youth when selecting subjects for transition into higher education. This is of particular concern when there are abundant science-related courses in higher education, as well as careers, which are fundamental to the global economy, and a cohort of Ireland’…
The influence of critical friendships on secondary student teachers engaged in collaborative action research
In this study, we explore the following: a) How do secondary student teachers, engaged in collaborative action research, function as critical friends? b) What challenges do they encounter? How do they mitigate these challenges? and c) In what ways did meeting as critical friends influence the student teachers’ learning to conduct collaborative action research? The participants in our study included 38 secondary school student teachers (defined he…
Promoting Academic Success and Social Inclusion in Non-Formal Education Contexts
The processes leading to school failure and early school leaving are complex and involve multidimensional factors. In Portugal, as in other European countries, in the last decade, several policies, programmes, and practices have been developed to address this issue. This article focuses on a socio-educational practice of the study support type developed within a national programme aimed at social inclusion and educational success located in the c…
Rapid Evidence Assessment
The number of students with disabilities enrolling in higher education has shown an increase across the world. Despite this, many students with disabilities still encounter several barriers in transitioning to third-level education. Educational mentoring programmes have emerged as interventions that have the potential to provide peer support and reduce isolation in higher education. However, there is little understanding of how this intervention …
Rapid Evidence Assessment Protocol for the Meta-Analysis of Initiatives, Interventions and Programmes That Target Rural Neets
The acronym NEET refers to youths aged between 15 and 34 years old who are excluded from employment, education or training. However, historically, the NEET demographic has been depicted as a largely homogenous group. Against this backdrop and given the dependency of rural economies on agricultural practices for survival, such practices have been in decline for a number of years, seriously threatening rural communities’ sustainability. While these…
Introduction to the Special Issue
Supporting the Transition from Primary to Postprimary Education in 2021
The transition from primary to postprimary education is a significant milestone in children’s education and can be characterised by the multiple challenges that they experience, specifically the move from childhood to adolescence, from one institutional context to another, and from established social groups into new social relations. This research employs a theoretical framework that describes this transition from the perspective of secondary sch…
Neet strategies in post-recession Ireland
In the aftermath of the 2007−2008 global economic crisis, Ireland had one of the highest unemployment rates in the OECD for those aged between 15−25 years. An over-dependence on the construction and agriculture sectors (used to absorb early school leavers into related apprenticeship programmes) was exposed. Consequently, a reassessment of the challenges this demographic faced informed the development of a suite of targeted responses. This paper r…
The uneven geography of asylum and humanitarian relief
The rising number of unaccompanied migrant children (UMC) crossing the U.S.-Mexico border received intense media attention during 2014 and remains significant. Unaccompanied minors seeking relief through the immigration court system is at a record high. A crisis of legal representation and of disparity in granting asylum or other humanitarian relief across Department of Justice (DOJ) immigration courts and among individual judges creates an unequ…
Designing, using and evaluating learning spaces
Digital educational technologies, like communication technologies more generally, can undermine the tyranny of distance. If we are not careful, we can slip into thinking that they make space and place irrelevant. This is not the case, as the papers in this special issue demonstrate. Technology needs to be understood as spatially configured and entangled with the material world. When people are using digital tools and resources in activities that …
