This mixed-methods research aimed to understand the extent to which staff of six schools in rural England, share, recognise and draw upon, their pupils' experience within the household and community. Starting from the critical concepts of 'funds of knowledge' and 'culturally relevant pedagogy', the research focused on the life experiences of…

The poles are recognized as the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth. These extremes are defined differently in terms of cartography, magnetism, geography, and the polar star. In Turkey, numerous activities have been carried out concerning the polar regions, such as the establishment of a scientific research camp and meteorological…

This study investigated the effectiveness of TikTok videos in enhancing Grade 9 Technology learners' understanding of food processing. Grounded in constructivist theory, the research employed a mixed-method approach using a Concurrent Embedded Design. A total of 120 learners were sampled from three schools within the Lebowakgomo Circuit, Limpopo,…

This study examined how students utilized metacognition while solving physics problems. A case study design was implemented, involving 30 11th-grade students. Data were collected by using open-ended physics problems, with a think-aloud strategy applied during the process. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted using the…

The research objective is to study the influence of the social media platform TikTok on piano teaching, to compare the comprehensive piano level between students who use TikTok and students who learn normal teaching and to compare the comprehensive piano level between pre-test and post-test. The sample is 82 piano students and ten teachers from…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is reshaping the ways humans study and work across various disciplines. In the field of music, AI technology shows its possibility to empower individuals at diverse levels of musical knowledge in music creation, from novices to experts. In this article, I explore philosophical questions within both AI…

Purpose: The study aims to examine the health behaviour of Indian women concerning their awareness, preference and usage of menstrual products, focusing on three critical demographic domains: age, education and income levels. The research seeks to identify patterns and disparities in menstrual product choices among diverse population segments by…

This study explores the relationship between the self-confidence and content knowledge of undergraduate students in a large enrollment geoscience course following an active-learning think-pair-share (TPS) activity, and whether high confidence necessarily leads to overconfidence. We used a pre-experimental, one group pre-test -- post-test design,…

Climate change is a major concern to undergraduate students. Understanding climate change relies on an understanding of polar regions. However, courses on polar regions are rare at undergraduate institutions. Polar ENgagement through GUided INquiry (PENGUIN) modules were designed to give students experience with polar research in a variety of…

Background: Infants born preterm are at high risk of facing difficulties with acquiring speech, language and communication skills. Research on the direct benefits of parent--infant communication in neonatal units is limited. This study recognises that although neonatal nurses regard early communication as important, there is scope to develop a…

Artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedicine has gained significant attention, and its fusion with biology offers exciting possibilities. Understanding students' perspectives on AI is crucial for developing appropriate lessons. This study surveyed biology undergraduates and postgraduates in Taiwan (n = 71) and Germany (n = 51) to explore their…

Augmented Reality (AR) enhances education by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences, particularly for students with low spatial skills, as well as in conceptual and procedural knowledge. In the Malaysian Form 2 mathematics curriculum, Isometric Transformation presents significant challenges. Traditional teaching methods often…

Extension traditionally involves undergraduate students through experiential learning and internships. We sought to develop a new model, and created an undergraduate life skills course for students in our college that featured Extension educators as guest lecturers in areas aligned with their specialty. Universities have a stable population of…

Scientists frequently conduct research in remote field locations, yet in close proximity to local communities. However, too often research conducted abroad involves collecting data and minimum or no engagement with local communities to communicate the broader scientific impacts. To address this deficiency, we worked with Ecuadorian school…

This study investigated the translation competence (TC) development needs of foreign language majors at Guangxi University of Foreign Languages (GUFL) amid the AI-driven transformation of the translation industry. Employing a quantitative approach, the study administered a questionnaire to a sample of 359 students, with data analyzed via SPSS for…
