Computational thinking (CT) skills have become increasingly important in modern education, as they equip students with critical problem-solving skills applicable across various domains. Given the growing emphasis on digital literacy, it is essential to investigate grade- and gender-level differences in CT skills among students to support targeted…

Noticing the inconsistency in previous studies of gender differences in learning physics, it was determined to check whether a gender gap exists in a relatively large sample of competitors (N = 12,966) from Serbia. The aim of the research presented here was to analyze the achievements of male and female lower secondary school students, competitors…

Based on the expectancy-value perspective on identity and identity formation, this paper explores the relationship between math identity (MI) and the dimensions of motivation (i.e. intrinsic value, attainment value, utility value and perceived competence) and math achievement in primary school. An additional aim of our research was to explore…

Several empirical studies reveal that students are poorly informed, and often hold stereotyped views of science and scientists. The present study aimed to investigate the Portuguese elementary school students' images of scientists and their work and the influence of gender and grade level on the development of these images. Two hundred and…

One of the factors that influences how students learn mathematics is their mathematics-related beliefs. Mathematics-related beliefs are important, but in Indonesia, there has been little research on mathematics beliefs in elementary schools and in relation to grade level and gender. This study aims to determine the general profile of elementary…

Background: Although prior research has explored students' affective experiences in mathematics and its demographic correlatives, additional studies are needed that: (1) use large national data sets; (2) incorporate a broad range of affective constructs; (3) consider trends in student affect over time; and (4) include younger children and…

In this study, we aim to address this gap by investigating how various individual learner characteristics such as grade level, gender, and immigration status affected upper-elementary school MLs' reading motivation in English. To achieve the goal, we adopted a three-factor reading motivation model that includes three interrelated constructs…

This study investigates the relationship between preservice teachers' digital transformation awareness and their 21st-century information literacy skills. A cross-sectional survey design was employed with 378 preservice teachers at a Turkish state university. Data were collected through a Personal Information Form, the Digital Transformation…

The present study explored variations in the characteristics of teacher-nominated shy students. Participants were N = 329 teachers from 303 elementary schools across Norway. Teachers were first asked to select a current (or previously taught) student who was considered "shy," and then rated different aspects of this child's school…
