This bibliometric analysis explores the rapidly growing field of open education, offering insight into its nature and the wide range of academic topics it covers. This study applies co-citation and co-word analyses approach to critically review 402 publications from the Web of Science database. The aim is to identify emerging topics, seminal works, and dominant trends in the literature on open education. The co-citation analysis identifies key publications and thematic clusters that define the field, including discussions on pedagogical innovations, equity and accessibility, quality assurance, and the global impact of open educational practices (OEP). Co-word analysis, on the other hand, highlights the recurrent and emerging keywords within the literature, revealing focal points such as digital transformation in education, the role of massive open online courses (MOOCs), and the significance of open educational resources (OER) in fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments. This study stands out for its quantitative approach in mapping the current academic conditions of open education, offering insights into the dynamic interplay between technology, policy, and pedagogy. It emphasizes the need for a collaborative, inclusive approach to education, employing open educational resources and methods to fulfill the different needs of learners globally. Through this analysis, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the current state and future directions of open education, advocating for policies and practices that support sustainable, accessible, and high-quality educational experiences.

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy (social, emotional, and academic) in the relationship between helicopter parenting and social media addiction (SMA) among Turkish adolescents. Previous studies examining the influences of helicopter parenting behaviors on mental health mostly studied college-age children and were conducted in Western cultures, while the current study focused on the association of helicopter parenting with the mental health of younger children and was conducted an Eastern country (Türkiye). The participants consisted of 326 adolescents (212 girls and 114 boys) who had at least one social media account. Data were collected through the Helicopter Parent Attitude Scale, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, the Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents, and a demographic information form. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression-based bootstrapping techniques. The results show that both maternal and paternal helicopter parenting had significant and direct positive associations with SMA. Emotional and academic self-efficacy had significant and direct associations with SMA, while social self-efficacy did not show such an association. In addition, it was found that the mediating effects of self–efficacy (social, emotional, and academic) in relations between helicopter parenting and SMA were not significant.

This study reports a systematic review and meta-analyses of the construct social presence in online higher education settings. The research objectives are to: 1) determine the overall impact of scale-based measures of social presence on student learning outcomes, and 2) determine the overall impact of scale-based measures of social presence on student satisfaction outcomes. A thorough examination of the research literature from 1995 to 2022 was conducted, employing a three-stage screening process to identify 53 studies suitable for inclusion in the meta-analyses. Utilizing a random effects model for analysis, the study investigated the two outcome measures with subgroup analysis. The results affirm that social presence has a moderate effect on both student satisfaction and learning outcomes, with no evidence of publication bias identified. In conducting a subgroup analysis to help explain some of the heterogeneity, significant effects were found for mode of delivery and for the scale-based instrument used. The paper concludes by advocating for enhanced rigour in research design to facilitate empirically validated investigations into improving social presence in online learning environments.

Students are experiencing high levels of stress and mental health distress and are at greater risk of suicide, resulting in calls to provide appropriate mental health supports in schools. In response, provincial governments are outsourcing K–12 mental health supports to private organizations (both non- and for-profit). Through a review of Manitoba education documents, we traced over 50 private organizations recommended by the provincial government and over $8.9 million of public money spent on these programs. Situated within the broader neo-liberal trend of the privatization of public education, we then used a critical policy analysis approach to analyze these programs’ content, explicating the ways in which these outsourced programs endorse the deprofessionalization of the teacher and the self-responsibilization of students while enlisting problematic content. We argue that outsourcing ultimately undermines education as a public good and recommend holding governments accountable, developing research-informed mental health supports, and implementing a critical assessment process when considering outsourcing to private organizations.

This article presents a critical literature review of the relationship between social media use and thedevelopment of personality disorder features, particularly among young people. Drawing on psychologicaltheory, psychological study, developmental research, and Marshall McLuhan’s famous probe “The medium isthe message” (McLuhan, 1964, p. 7), this review examines key findings across disciplines while offeringinterpretive insights into emerging behavioral patterns. A large body of data now shows a stark rise inindividuals aged 12-25 experiencing mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, suicidality,hospitalizations, and chronic low self-esteem. While these symptoms have been widely discussed, this paperexplores the deeper structural implications of these outcomes—specifically, how long-term social media usemay be shaping identity and contributing to the emergence of Cluster B personality traits, including borderlineand histrionic features, affecting relationships, real-life problems (finding joy, goal setting for the future,employment), and simply “growing up”. Synthesizing studies on self-image, child development, personalitydisorders, and influencer culture, this review highlights a critical gap in current discourse: not just what ishappening to mental health, but why, and the collateral damages of the ripple effects. This review connectsestablished psychological theories to patterns of online behavior, proposing that the medium itself (socialmedia) may be rewiring the developing brain, contributing to a newly dominant FPL or “fourth personalitylayer”—a digital self that increasingly dictates offline thought, behavior, and sense of identity. This reviewcontributes to a deeper understanding of how social media may not just reflect who we are, but activelyconstruct who we become.

Documenting Indigenous patient voices through safe and culturally appropriate patient-reported outcome (PROMs) and experience measures (PREMs) is essential for monitoring impacts of health care programming and policies. We explored the literature in order to understand the current landscape of PROMs and PREMs that have been developed for and with Indigenous Peoples in Canada, United States, Australia and New Zealand. From our exploration a number of key themes regarding the development of PROMs and PREMs emerged including, applying a wholistic perspective, a relational framework with an emphasis on the role of the family, ensuring cultural fit (reflecting a resilience, strength-based and cultural approach to health), being sensitive to the ethics of survey tools, and ensuring decolonizing approaches in their development. In addition, the scarcity and the need for developing Indigenous-specific PREMs are highlighted.

This annotated bibliography responds to and contextualizes the growing ‘Open' movements and recent institutional reorientation towards social, public-facing scholarship. The aim of this document is to present a working definition of open social scholarship through the aggregation and summation of critical resources in the field. Our work surveys foundational publications, innovative research projects, and global organizations that enact the theories and practices of open social scholarship. The bibliography builds on the knowledge creation principles outlined in previous research by broadening the focus beyond conventional academic spaces and reinvigorating central, defining themes with recently published research.
