Data analysis revealed that the teachers in the study agreed that sexuality…

While there have been many calls for teaching ethics and responsible computing, it is unclear how responsible computing instruction and technical learning interact. Some instructors even hesitate to include ethics in their courses, fearing it might distract students from learning technical computing content. An approach called…

This essay argues that embodied pedagogies of emergence are fundamental to facilitating student wellbeing in the classroom. It shows that such classroom approaches require an incorporation of contemplative pedagogies to be truly attuned to presence; likewise contemplative pedagogies require an emergent approach -- particularly the recasting of…

The study aimed to evaluate what the underlying reasons were for the low level of interest among lower secondary school pupils in the social studies course. The phenomenology was adopted in the research. The study group of the research consisted of academics, teachers, and parents of lower secondary school pupils. Pareto analysis was used to…

As a high school history teacher, author Dave Marshall integrated music more and more into his lessons over the years, yielding powerful results. Early in his career, this was done by playing a relevant song to start class--perhaps Edwin Starr's "War," before studying anti-Vietnam protests. Later, the author built full lessons around…

Ergonomic risk factors in the workplace can result in nonfatal injuries among construction workers, leading to absenteeism, project delays, and reduced organizational productivity. Previous studies have highlighted a lack of knowledge about ergonomics among construction practitioners, hindering effective strategies. This knowledge gap can be…

Mathematical understanding in early childhood lays the foundation for children's later academic achievement, yet little is known about individual differences in U.S. early childhood educators' mathematics instruction in preschool classrooms. The present study explored the range of intentional mathematics instruction occurring in early childhood…

This study examines the effectiveness of ICT training programmes for academics at selected universities in Africa, specifically in Cameroon, Nigeria, and South Africa.
