This study investigates the impact of the problem-based learning (PBL) model on middle school students' environmental literacy and problem-solving skills. A quantitative research study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design for this aim. The sample comprises 114 8th-grade students from a public middle school in Sanliurfa, Turkey. Four…

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine self- and parent-reporting of social, emotional, and behavioral adjustment in adolescents with and without prelingual hearing loss and cochlear implants. Method: The self- and parent-completed Behavior Assessment System for Children was used to assess social, emotional, and behavioral…

This study examined Kwara central undergraduates' perceived peer pressure on youths' involvement in kidnapping. This study was a descriptive survey. The population comprised of all undergraduates in Kwara Central Senatorial District. The target population was undergraduates from University of Ilorin and Alhikmah University, 500 students were…

Mathematical self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to successfully perform tasks and solve problems in mathematics. This Snapshot examines gender differences in mathematical self-efficacy and the levels of confidence that students feel in doing a range of formal and applied mathematics tasks. It also examines the extent…

Mathematical modelling can be described as "[…] the process of translating between the real world and mathematics in both directions" (Blum & Ferri, 2009, p. 45). Both students and teachers often find mathematical modelling challenging. Thus, it is important that future teachers are aware of the challenges their students might…

Every student comes to science class with unique skills and problem-solving abilities; unfortunately, there is limited research on how to differentiate instruction so that equitable progress can be made for every learner. We used a novel pedagogical approach to differentiate for a wide range of problem-solving abilities when students were learning…

This qualitative phenomenological study aimed to explore middle school students' perceptions of using the school-based cooperative problem-based learning (SB-CPBL) approach in learning science. The study examined how SB-CPBL differs from the students' usual learning, how the new approach affects their learning process and the main challenges of…

This study explores the arrival of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies in a collaborative Problem-Based Learning (PBL) environment from the perspective of students. It examines the emerging practices students develop individually and in groups as well as the tensions they navigate in response to GenAI's sudden arrival, its…

The main goal of this work was to use a phenomenological framework to deepen people's understanding of mindfulness among students so that better support can be provided for college students experiencing severe stress. For this work, data were collected from interviews with college students majoring in meditation-related disciplines. These students…

The purpose of the present study is to provide empirical evidence on the adaptation of the mathematics-related beliefs questionnaire (MRBQ) supplemented by info-communication technology-related items. Besides, we also investigate the relationship between their beliefs about mathematics and their ability in problem-solving mathematics. 234 grade…

As elsewhere in the world, academic misconduct is a serious problem in Aotearoa. Yet, beyond the occasional newspaper headline, we know relatively little about the extent of the problem here or the factors associated with it. Consequently, our educational leaders and practitioners are left under-informed as they seek to address the problem and…

Contribution: In this article, integrated problem-based learning and critical reflection are shown to contribute to significant learning experiences, without needing to increase course hours and course assignments. Background: With the advances in technology, such as artificial intelligence, there is a shift in teaching and learning paradigms,…

The present study aimed at researching whether students with formally diagnosed behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD) differ in their self-perceived emotional and social inclusion as well as in their academic self-concept, depending on individual behavioural pattern (externalising and internalising behaviour) and school setting…

There is a need to provide evidence-based social, emotional, and behavioral interventions for learners at risk for emotional and behavioral problems. Evidence-based interventions for social and emotional success are especially necessary for Black learners with emotional or behavioral problems. In the current study, we used a multiple-baseline…

There is an ever-increasing need for technologically literate citizens to find creative ways to solve societal problems. STEM, the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects continues to be a popular topic as schools grapple with how to best prepare students for an ever-evolving society. As societal and technological…
