This second issue of the IAFOR Journal of Education for 2018 continues to respond to the IAFOR call to be international, intercultural and interdisciplinary. The five articles display the research being undertaken from a range of locations: Montenegro, the Philippines, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. While the contexts are different, the themes are relevant to educators globally.
As with locations, the articles in this issue again cover a range of themes: the use of games in teaching; mentorship in historically Black colleges and universities to assist in acceptance to health career courses; reflective journals as a strategy to assist in the development of a growth mindset; the competencies required by school administrators to assist in effective language teaching and learning; and the importance of home environment in the development of gifted Filipino students. The topics reflect the diversity of issues in the broad nature of education.
