Decision makers and strategy leaders in states often lack the information they need to make decisions that will support learners' success. Many lack information on what data their states already collect and publicize, and many are unsure of what data might tell a more meaningful story about student success. Responding to this need, researchers and…

MoleculeCrafter is a novel tool that facilitates the custom creation of flexible and modular macromolecular model kits. These models support student chemical education by providing a manipulable and visuospatial tool to facilitate exploration of chemical structures and their interactions. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate using…

The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the world's largest international survey of teachers and principals. In 2024, TALIS added the Teacher Knowledge Survey (TKS), a special module to investigate teachers' general pedagogical knowledge (GPK). GPK is the specialised knowledge of teachers for creating effective teaching and…

Human and animal behaviors are influenced by goal-directed planning or automatic habitual choices. Reinforcement learning (RL) models propose two distinct learning strategies: a model-based strategy, which is more flexible but computationally demanding, and a model-free strategy is less flexible yet computationally efficient. In the current RL…

Purpose: This study employs a comprehensive theoretical synthesis and literature review methodology to examine the evolution and current state of the professional zone of acceptance (PZoA) in educational leadership. Design/methodology/approach: Building upon the foundational theories of Barnard and Simon, the research develops a dynamic model that…

It is common for school support service (SSS) personnel to work in silos and not collaboratively. Logistics and availability of space continue to pose a challenge for interdisciplinary work. We offer the conceptual CCAMS model that proposes centralizing these support services (i.e., school counselor, social worker, psychologist) in one physical…

In education, the concept of 'thinking skills' has long been contentious. This article revisits the 2010 debate between Stephen Johnson and Harvey Siegel on whether thinking can be taught as a general skill. To weigh in on this ongoing dispute, it contributes a novel perspective by augmenting key insights from 4E cognition to avoid treating…

Teachers require support to implement inclusive education effectively, and teacher training is a key to providing this support cost-effectively. However, while education research has established theories on student learning, there is still a lack of understanding regarding how teachers learn and integrate new ideas, making it essential to…

As is well-recognized, World Language General Education programs across US higher education face challenges that have led many institutions to question whether these programs can persist in their current state. In this study, we present the outcomes of a new model for World Languages General Education introduced at a large US public university and…

This literature review aims to characterise mediation practices in non-formal science education settings (zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, science centres and museums) based on empirical studies published in the last 15 years and to evaluate their potential in providing visitors with an equitable and inclusive experience, considering their…

Industrial-scale models require considerable setup time; hence, once built, they are used in myriad ways to consider closely related cases. In practice, the code for these models frequently evolves without appropriate notational choices, largely as a result of the lengthy development time of, and the number of individuals contributing to, their…

The main purpose of this research was to do a confirmatory factor analysis of cyberbullying behaviors among undergraduate students in higher education institutions in northeastern Thailand. The sample included 1,062 1st-4th years bachelor's degree students in the academic year 2022 from five higher education institutions located in the Northeast…

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize and theorize the circulation-chain model as an education policy implementation framework systematically. The circular-chain education policy implementation process and effect evaluation analysis model are a theoretical innovation model and practical exploration path to explore the implementation and…

Checking for possible inconsistency between direct and indirect evidence is an important task in network meta-analysis. Recently, an evidence-splitting (ES) model has been proposed, that allows separating direct and indirect evidence in a network and hence assessing inconsistency. A salient feature of this model is that the variance for…

Literature shows there is support for adding connection and relevancy in mathematics for students through the use of real-world context and data in mathematical modelling. A teaching unit on mathematical modelling was designed within the context of future affordable housing for the local surrounding area. The teaching unit was implemented, and…
