Belonging, discrimination, and risk in displacement
Background: Understanding the mental health challenges of refugee adolescents is critical for informing targeted educational policies and interventions. Yet few studies identify which school-based factors most strongly relate to their resilience and well-being. This study draws on a multi-informant dataset from 170 refugee students attending school in Greece, applying Bayesian variable selection to identify key predictors of mental health outcome…
Impact Framework for Transforming STEAM Education
This paper presents the development of an Impact Framework for STEAM education created as part of a project to support systemic, evidence-based reform. The framework was derived from an extensive synthesis of data collected through policy mapping, national and European strategy reviews, comparative case studies, and three stakeholder consultations with educators, industry representatives, and policymakers. The analysis used thematic synthesis, ro…
Exploring Greek Primary Teachers’ Perspectives in Inclusive Education for Special Educational Needs (SEN) Students and Related Research Trends
Inclusive Education aims to ensure equitable learning opportunities for all students, including those with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, by promoting accessible teaching practices and supportive learning environments.

The integration of STEAM education is widely recognized as a pathway to foster creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration, yet its implementation remains fragmented due to systemic and organizational barriers. This study examines educators’ perspectives on STEAM by focusing on three key questions: their attitudes toward STEAM, the challenges and needs they report, and how these vary by professional development experience, disciplinary backgro…
Leveraging Communities of Practice for STEAM Education
This study investigates the multifaceted roles and competences of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) educators and their engagement in Communities of Practice (CoPs). Through an online survey of Greek educators who have implemented STEAM educational projects, employing both closed and open‐ended questions, this research uncovers the complexities of the STEAM educators' role and illustrates how engagement in CoPs can be…
Augmenting the Impact of STEAM Education by Developing a Competence Framework for STEAM Educators for Effective Teaching and Learning
STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education is gaining increasing attention worldwide, with many initiatives being implemented to promote its adoption and effectiveness; thus, its successful integration into educational systems has become increasingly critical. Educators will play a central role in this integration; that is why it is critical to assess their needs, map the necessary roles and competences, and provide…
