However, we do not know what the dyslexia community's research priorities are and whether they align with current research funding. We categorised previous funding for dyslexia research in the United Kingdom and considered how this aligns with community research priorities, using multiple methods and a participatory approach. We identified that the vast majority (78%) of funding has been spent on research into biology, brain and cognition. Through seven focus groups (<i>n</i> = 37), dyslexic adults and/or family members/carers of dyslexic children expressed that this balance needs redressing, and we identified four important areas for future research, informed by lived experiences. Finally, 436 members of the dyslexia community ranked the importance of research topics in a survey. The top five priorities related to <i>training teachers and professionals</i>, <i>educational supports and interventions</i>, <i>mental health and self-esteem</i>, <i>making services and spaces more inclusive</i> and <i>cognition</i>. Research into genes and risk factors was less prioritised. These results provide a point of reference for researchers and funders to align future research funding with the dyslexia community's priorities so that it can be of translational benefit.</p>","PeriodicalId":47222,"journal":{"name":"Dyslexia","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dys.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While AI is often framed as a tool for automation, its broader pedagogical and ethical implications receive less attention. To address this gap, we implemented a critical co-discovery approach within an online AI in Education (AIEd) course to enhance educators’ AI literacy. This illustrative case study examines which AI literacy components can be developed through critical co-discovery and how this approach fosters educators’ reflective, critical, and participatory engagement with AI. Findings revealed that through co-discovery activities, educators co-constructed an understanding of AI concepts, ethical considerations, and context-specific applications. The study highlights the need for prolonged engagement with AI literacy by integrating it into teacher education program to ensure educators can critically navigate and assert their agency in AI’s complex role in education.","PeriodicalId":17162,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teacher Education","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143653936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While gamification and game-based learning approaches have been widely adopted in formal educational settings, there is a surprising lack of research on their application for community-based public engagement with anatomy. We emphasize the importance of involving community partners from the outset to co-design gamified outreach activities. A collaborative approach tailors the final products to the needs, preferences, and resources of the target audiences. By actively involving end users, co-design fosters a sense of ownership, relevance, and long-term sustainability for the educational resources. This article also presents a practical guide for evidence-based implementation of gamified anatomy outreach, drawing on key learning theories. We discuss strategies for supporting participant motivation and fostering an optimal \"flow\" state, as well as principles of cognitive load theory and social learning. We also apply each of these theoretical frameworks to illustrative examples, demonstrating how gamified learning can enhance the accessibility, engagement, and retention of complex anatomical concepts. We conclude by presenting practical distinctions between implementing gamified approaches in academic versus community settings, highlighting considerations around technology, resources, and audience diversity. By bridging the gap between gamified learning research and public engagement principles, this article aims to provide practical guidance for anatomy educators, outreach coordinators, and game designers seeking to create more accessible, equitable, and impactful experiences for their communities.</p>","PeriodicalId":124,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Sciences Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we conducted secondary data analysis to explore if self-determination predicts variance in academic outcome indicators in secondary students with and without disabilities across two datasets. Almost 1,500 students were represented. Findings suggest a significant positive correlation between self-determination, attendance, and mathematics achievement and a negative correlation between self-determination and office disciplinary referrals.

Data were gathered through unstructured interviews with the neighbourhood head, school administrators, and teachers, as well as semi-structured interviews and observations with seven teachers and six parents. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis. Findings of the study revealed that students' economic and cultural capital have negative reflections on their school life. While parents express aspirations for their children to achieve professional success, teachers view these ambitions as unattainable within the current educational framework. The families also perceived their children, whose academic performance declines yearly, as failures. Despite their dissatisfaction with their children's school experiences, parents advocated for 12 years of compulsory education, whereas teachers opposed compulsory education, advocating for vocational redirection at an earlier age.

We analyzed their responsibilities in inclusive schools (e.g., instruction, collaboration), and the resources that were provided or needed to fulfill those responsibilities (e.g., time, professional development).
