Anatomy and physiology (A&P) often present significant challenges to nursing students, contributing to early academic attrition. To address this, a series of voluntary study sessions was implemented at a nursing-focused institution, combining student-led discussions with "Kahoot!"® -based gamified review. Over a four-year period,…

This study looked at the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing students' mathematical outcomes by incorporating varied content, processes, and products. Employing a mixed-methods experimental design, the research hypothesized that differentiated instruction significantly influences students' performance in mathematics exams. The…

The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of laboratory activities employing the Predict-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain (PEODE) approach in promoting gifted students' interpretation of everyday problems related to fundamental science concepts. This quasi-experimental study involved 54 gifted students enrolled in the Science and…

Based on self-determination theory, this study examines the added value of video-based discussion, which is included in a need-supportive training programme, on novice teachers' motivating style and students' engagement throughout a school year. Twenty-four teachers in the treatment condition attended a need-supportive training programme including…

In recent years, there has been a push in the United States to teach about the contributions of people with disabilities in K-12 settings. The taken-for-granted assumption behind such initiatives is that teachers have the content knowledge and attitudes to teach about disability in anti-ableist ways. The present study explored the experiences of…

Traditional methods of teaching differentiation calculus usually involve lectures. Nevertheless, this process impedes students' thorough comprehension of concepts and their practical application by promoting dependence on memorisation and procedural learning. Numerous studies have also denoted that teaching experiments and technology can enhance…

This article explores spaces for transformation for teachers and learners using picture books, encouraging them to share their stories and have their voices heard through multiple forms of representation. We describe one teacher's journey with her secondary school students. Classroom data show how reading and creating picture books provoke…

Ghanaian adolescents face considerable sexual and reproductive health challenges that can disrupt human capital formation. However, a positive and healthy transition from adolescence to adulthood can be achieved by increasing access to sexual and reproductive health information, education, and services. This paper documents emerging findings from…

This study examines the effects of six augmented-reality (AR)-supported lessons in lower-secondary natural science classes in Vietnam on students' conceptual understanding, engagement, and motivation. We used a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design in two semi-rural public schools (grades 6-8; eight weeks). Intervention classes…
