In response to this pressing issue, the present study…

For young people, schools are platforms for learning and strengthening competencies about nature preservation; despite being faced with the same learning opportunities, learning outcomes are very heterogeneous. We were interested in environmental knowledge gains and retention after participation in a student-centred learning programme, and in…

Academic and social deficits, a nine-month secondary school-to-university learning loss, a readiness gap for university-level coursework, and limited cultural capital characterize the transition to university for Botswana's secondary school completers seeking a STEM qualification. This study investigated internationally implemented developmental…

This study aims to develop a mobile game using the QuizWhizzer application to improve fifth graders' learning interest in mathematics at Kalibata 04 Elementary School, South Jakarta, Indonesia. The contribution of this study is to enhance the interest in mathematics learning for students in all elementary schools in South Jakarta, Indonesia. This…

The objective of the current study was to assess how a LEGO intervention, implemented by a grandparent and a parent at home, affected social interactions for four children (two girls, two boys; ages 6-7 years) on the autism spectrum in China. A multiple probe design across four families was used. Grandparents and parents were trained to use…

Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) seem to have difficulty dealing with complex social situations, which is likely related to their challenges in understanding others' perspectives, according to the Theory of Mind (ToM). The purpose of this preliminary study was to examine the effect of multiple exemplar training (MET) on the…

This qualitative research examines the question: In what ways do school districts (called boards in Canada), universities, and community organizations collaborate to develop an innovative STEM program focused on the United Nations' sustainable development goals? Students, parents, teachers, high school staff, school district administrators,…

Blended synchronous learning (BSL) has become increasingly prominent in lifelong education due to its flexibility in enabling simultaneous onsite and online participation. However, enhancing the experience and satisfaction of adult learners in this context remains a challenge. This study primarily used structural equation modelling to examine the…

Purpose: Contemporary early career teacher (ECT) mentoring approaches have largely aspired to shift towards a more non-hierarchic and mutually beneficial learning partnership approach. Such mentoring can be challenging to achieve. We report on a project that sought to further understand how intellectual virtues, such as intellectual courage,…

Background and objectives: An early understanding of numerosity is crucial to developing proficiency in arithmetic, and rapid pattern recognition via subitizing is key in this process. The training app "LORE" specifically targets and cultivates pattern recognition skills from the beginning of formal schooling. This study investigated…

The transition to university can be challenging, and while universities provide orientation support, many students still struggle. Extending orientation through embedded supports and skill building in first-year curricula provides students opportunities to develop the academic skills required for university while growing confidence. This study…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Learning Trajectories (LT[superscript 2])-based games on the mathematical learning of four-year-old kindergarteners. The research employed the ADDIE paradigm, incorporating a pre-test, post-test, and a control group experimental design. The sample group comprised 30 children--15 in the experimental…

This study examines the impact of interactive reading instructional software (IRIS) on the reading speed of first-grade elementary students. Using a single-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design, the research involved 21 days of interactive reading lessons. Observations during the implementation phase helped evaluate the influence of…
