What do teachers think about students’ emotions? A mixed-method exploration of their implicit theories
Emotions play a central role in educational settings, influencing both students’ engagement and teachers’ instructional practices. Despite growing recognition of the importance of emotion in education, little is known so far about how preservice teachers conceptualize emotions in students and how this may shape their pedagogical choices. This mixed-method study explored the beliefs of 292 Belgian and Swiss teachers in training about students' emo…
The missing link for AI at work
Large Language Models (LLMs) present both opportunities and challenges for organizations. While these models promise efficiency gains, there are concerns regarding their lack of explainability. Current research on AI explainability primarily adopts a technical perspective that is often misaligned with the expectations and expertise of organizational decision-makers. This work explores a novel approach to AI explainability through an organizationa…

How signature strengths develop positive interdependence and empowerment in an inclusive education context
This study evaluates the Individual Strengths, Collective Power! program in fostering students' use of strengths vocabulary and improving classroom relationships in an inclusive education setting in Switzerland, where students with and without special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) attend school together. The study involved 179 students, ages 8 to 12, divided into an experimental group that received specific training and an active cont…
Digital skills at work – Conceptual development and empirical validation of a measurement scale
In today's increasingly digitalized work environments, the need for digital skills is on the rise. Surprisingly, current frameworks of digital skills fail to specifically address the identification and measurement of digital skills in the workplace. The objective of this research is thus to develop a framework and a validated scale for digital skills at work. To do so, we employ a multi-step process that includes a thorough literature review, cog…
Personal and social protective factors of cyberhate
Adolescents of today grow up in a connected world. While online communication offers great opportunities, it can also have negative impact on adolescents' life. In this work, we are interested in the use of online communication tools to share and create cyberhate content. Anchored in the general strain theory, we studied how social support (i.e., parental, peers and teacher support) may be related to cyberhate perpetration. We further tested how …

Self-Reported Flow in Online Learning Environments for Teacher Education
Digitization in teacher education is currently being promoted, but the choice between face-to-face instruction and online learning environments remains challenging. Previous studies have documented ambivalent results regarding personal preference and academic achievement, and experimental investigations into attention comparing learning in these two settings are largely lacking. In this context, the present study adopts a counterbalanced design t…
The noetic feeling of confusion
Feeling confused can sometimes lead us to give up on a task, frustrated. What is less emphasized is that confusion may also promote happy (epistemic) endings to our inquiries. It has recently been argued that confusion motivates effortful investigative behaviors which can help us acquire hard-to-get epistemic goods. While the motivational power of confusion and its benefits for learning has been uncovered in recent years, the exact nature of the …
The role of feedback and guidance as intervention methods to foster computational thinking in educational robotics learning activities for primary school
Computational thinking (CT) is considered an emerging competence domain linked to 21st-century competences, and educational robotics (ER) is increasingly recognised as a tool to develop CT competences. This is why researchers recommend developing intervention methods adapted to classroom practice and providing explicit guidelines to teachers on integrating ER activities. The present study thus addresses this challenge. Guidance and feedback were …
How is biodiversity understood in compulsory education textbooks? A lexicographic analysis of teaching programs in the French-speaking part of Switzerland
Biodiversity education, as part of a broader environmental education is an important topic, not only for politicians, journalists but also teachers. In the educational context, it is now recognized that students have to be taught biodiversity, its conservation and how to use it in a durable. In this paper, we are interested in assessing how biodiversity, as part of environmental education, is understood and presented in compulsory education textb…
ESD in school
In the context of the Anthropocene, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is crucial to educate the next generation. However, it has long been neglected in curricula. In this study, we were interested in knowing pupils’ representations of sustainability. In this regards, 219 French-speaking Swiss pupils in compulsory school filled out an online survey. The preliminary results distinguished three groups of pupils characterised by their knowl…
The Amplification of Cyberhate Victimisation by Discrimination and Low Life Satisfaction
There is some indication that discrimination as well as low levels of life satisfaction render young people at risk of cyberhate victimization. Adopting a socio-ecological perspective, this paper examines whether supportive family, peer and school environments may buffer against the effects of perceived discrimination and low life satisfaction on cyberhate victimization. Data from four countries ( N = 3396) of the EU Kids Online IV survey on chil…
Bored to Be Wild
Boredom is an emotion that often arises in an educational context. Past research suggests that boredom depends on specific cognitive appraisals, such as how people can control the task and how much they value it. Research further suggests that boredom is related to negative academic outcomes such as lower grades and a higher risk of dropping out. Here, we tested a mediation model on 324 pre-service teachers during the first lockdown of 2020 in Sw…
Materialism moderates the impact of mortality salience on impulsive tendencies toward luxury brands
Luxury goods have been shown to help individuals coping with death-related anxiety. However, the extent to which the symbolic value allocated to possessions (i.e., materialism) moderates this effect is still unclear. Here, we investigated the impact of materialism on impulsive approach tendencies toward luxury clothing brands in a context of mortality salience. Results showed that the impact of mortality salience was moderated by materialism with…
