This paper aims to create actionable insights that bridge the gap between academic achievements and internship performance, recognizing the significance of aligning theoretical knowledge with practical experiences. Acknowledging the observed weak correlation between academic and internship performance within HEIs, this study proposes actionable…

This study shares two frameworks for analyzing teacher actions that support students in generalizing and examines how those frameworks align with teacher questioning. One classroom teaching episode focused on the mathematical activity of generalizing is shared to illustrate effective generalizing promoting practices. We found several patterns of…

This study explores the relationship between pre-service teachers' (PSTs) early experiences and their current views on mathematics. The data were collected through an online survey from 107 PSTs and were analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's Chi-square test. Study results suggest that PSTs' early mathematics experiences relate to…

Researchers in mathematics education have focused on teacher beliefs as an important area of study because of their influence on teaching practices. In this study, we focused on two aspects of beliefs, the nature of mathematics and the teaching and learning of mathematics, with eight pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) to explore alignment…

This study evaluated the efficacy of the Word Learning Strategies (WLS) supplementary program designed to develop upper-elementary students' vocabulary skills in order to improve reading comprehension. The study used a true, group-randomized, experimental design, which randomly assigned 46 4th grade classrooms (n=1324 students) from 12 districts…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is critical for student success in online postsecondary education. Many technology-based interventions have been studied to improve SRL skills, but few were situated in broad-access institutions that disproportionately serve systemically marginalized student populations in STEM fields. This study presents preliminary…

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between preservice teachers' digital material design competencies and their use and acceptance of technology. The study was designed based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology developed by Venkatesh et. al. in 2003. Sample of the study consists of 199 pre-service…

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between social intelligence levels and communication skills of pre-service social studies teachers. In the content of the study, the relational screening model, which is one of the descriptive survey models, has been used. The sample of the survey consists of the third- and fourth-year…

This work aims at studying the anxiety and motivation levels of secondary school students towards science course depending on gender, class levels, and their parents' level of education. In addition, it was aimed to examine the relationship between students' anxiety, motivation, and academic achievement towards science course. The study relies on…

Students in public education are expected to attend school on a regular basis to learn. This study applied multiple linear regression models and binary logistic regression models to analyze the effect of risk of early chronic absence pattern on later math achievement by using student level longitudinal data. Results showed that students with small…

In this proposal, we share research that explores the potential benefits of a novel Making experience within mathematics teacher preparation that we hypothesized would inform the pedagogical and curricular thinking of prospective teachers of elementary mathematics (PMTs). That experience had PMTs exploring at the intersection of content, pedagogy,…

The Additive Factor Model (AFM) is a cognitive diagnostic model that can be used to predict student performance on items in a context that allows for student learning. Within AFM, "skills" have a learning rate, and student acquisition of a skill depends only on the number of opportunities a student has had to exercise that skill and the…

Learning assistance is an essential part of higher education. Tutors, the core of the assistance staff, need to have learning assistance skills. If the potential for these skills can be identified when selecting tutors, the training method will be more efficient. Also, learning assistance skills are thought to be related to learning skills.…

The Lawson classroom test of scientific reasoning is a quite popular and widely used tool that measures the level and development of the student's scientific reasoning skills. In this contribution, the results of this test for the N=446 students of the Faculty of Science Palacký University Olomouc from the years 2018-2020 at the beginning of their…

The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship between academic motivation and social-emotional competency of student-athletes in terms of gender, grade, and active participation in sports. The study group consisted of 200 volunteer student-athletes studying at a sports high school. The Academic Motivation Scale and the…
