Electricity and magnetism are fundamentally interconnected, as represented by the symmetry in Maxwell's equations. Much of the research on Gauss's and Ampere's laws has focused on their application in calculating electric or magnetic fields. However, there remains a significant gap in the literature in exploring these laws in a broader…

Background: STEM is an interdisciplinary holistic approach that combines the fields of technology and engineering in science and mathematics disciplines. STEM contributes to students' academic success, 21st century skills, and perspectives towards science. The scarcity of international studies focusing on the implementation of STEM in primary…

Contribution: A remote laboratory system for induction motors was developed in this study. By creating an original simulated induction motor, the structure of the motor can be observed, and the current and magnetic flux can be measured safely. Background: Electrical machinery has little appeal to young engineers. Such machinery deals with…

The prevalence of disability diagnoses among young children has risen significantly over recent decades. This growth has prompted inquiries into the identification processes, notably focusing on teachers who are the primary sources of referrals. While some studies have examined child age as a relevant predictor of disability referral, minimal…

This study aims to systematically review the recommendations of theses focusing on music departments in Turkish FAHS. The study is considered unique and significant for examining the needs of FAHS music education from a different perspective. The research employed a systematic literature review method. A systematic literature review is a…

The operationalization of school climate is inconsistent, adding to an unwieldy existing body of climate instruments, bringing into question measurement validity concerns. Further, there is minimal literature regarding if comparisons can be made between different school sectors (i.e., public, private, charter). We seek to understand if a commonly…

Electricity and magnetism are fundamental areas of physics and are integral to science curricula at various educational levels. However, this area has been reported to contain several concepts that students find challenging, leading to perspectives that diverge from scientifically accepted views. This study examines the errors made by physics…

We used student surveys to assess changes in proficiency with integral calculus, calculus self-efficacy, and physics self-efficacy in a second semester course of introductory physics focused on electricity and magnetism. In addition to tracking the fraction of quantitative problems solved correctly on the calculus proficiency survey, we also used…

This study investigated the effect of using socioscientific issues (SSI)-based learning modules in enhancing physics knowledge. Three SSI-based learning modules were developed in this study and obtained a "Very Satisfactory" rating after the expert's evaluation, electromagnetic (EM) waves module (M = 3.82, standard deviation [SD] =…

Magnet schools provide innovative curricula designed to attract students from other schools within a school district, typically with the joint goals of diversifying enrollment and boosting achievement. Measuring the impact of attending a magnet school is challenging because students choose to apply and schools have priorities over types of…

Joining the chorus of Black/Critical Race Feminist scholarship in education, this article explores how both affect and visuality inform understandings of safety for Black girls in schools. Using participatory visual ethnography, I explore how five young Black women at a Philadelphia magnet school conceptualize safety as an affective achievement of…

This study examines racial enrollment patterns in Montessori schools across the United States and evaluates how these schools relate to broader patterns of school segregation. Using a national dataset of public and private Montessori and non-Montessori schools, we analyze Montessori programs' racial composition, demographic alignment with…

At the end of the school year, the music schools organize the annual instrumental exam to evaluate the student's achievements. The study investigates complex patterns of performance anxiety in music school students during annual exams, focusing on how gender, age, instrument type, and family musical tradition interact, revealing inconsistencies…

Engaging students in science education while tapping into their innate curiosity is a crucial aim for educators. This article presents a collaborative program between a botanical garden and public high school, aimed at engaging students in botany through authentic research experiences. Beginning in 10th grade and continuing through their…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Investigating and Improving Quantum Education through Research.] The modern physics course is a crucial gateway for physics majors as it provides an introduction to concepts beyond the scope of the K-12 education. This study collected 167 modern physics syllabi from 127 U.S. research-intensive…
