In this study, studies on language learning strategies in teaching Turkish to foreigners were examined. In this context, content analyses of…

Over the past three decades, our understanding of science learning in early childhood has improved exponentially and today we have a strong empirically based understanding of science experiences for children aged three to six years. However, our understanding of science learning as it occurs for children from birth to three years, is limited. We…

The purpose of this study is to present a general perspective by examining the research works about primary school mathematics. In this direction, 637 articles in the Web of Science database and published in SSCI indexed journals between 1980 and 2021 were analyzed by bibliometric analysis, the general structure of the concepts in the studies was…

This article addresses the pedagogical practices applied by teachers at pre and primary school level when working with children with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD) as well as potential challenges in a research collaboration between teachers and academics. A praxeological study was conducted with two preschool teachers and…

This research aims to reveal trends on social inequality in curriculum studies based on the studies carried out between 2014-2019 in the international literature. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was carried out. Some criteria have been specified for the systematic literature review to determine the journals and articles to be…

This meta-analysis study aimed to comprehensively examine the effect size of STEM practices on the development of students' problem-solving skills. By combining the results of 25 individual studies, the researchers can gain a holistic understanding of the overall impact of STEM approaches. Consequently, these studies were categorized according to…

Race does not only resonate with the dichotomy of blackness and whiteness but also on its impact on non-physical attributes, this includes factors such as indigenous status, social class, religion, language, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality and immigration. The intersection of these factors are key considerations on inclusive education.…

Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) includes identifying and solving problems. Besides, it is an effort to organize a case, reorganize it according to new ideas, and concretize and rediscover the case to understand it better. This research aims to determine the effect of RME-based teaching against traditional methods, develop a general opinion,…

We reviewed three existing reviews of literature: two related to cultural and linguistic diversity in well-regarded special education research outlets including "Advances in Special Education," and the third regarding constructions of culture, race, disability, and risk in early childhood and early childhood special education (ECSE)…

Education plays a pivotal role in Zambia's vision of achieving prosperity as a middle-income nation by 2030. The Government is committed to delivering high-quality, relevant education and lifelong skills for all children. Despite progress in reading and mathematics scores, learning outcomes in Zambia remain low. Regional disparities within the…

In this book, Fitzpatrick and May make the case for a reimagined approach to critical ethnography in education. Working with an expansive understanding of "critical," they argue that many researchers already do the kind of critical ethnography suggested in this book, whether they call their studies critical or not. Drawing on a wide…

Sound educational policy recommendations require valid estimates of causal effects, but observational studies in physics education research sometimes have loosely specified causal hypotheses. The connections between the observational data and the explicit or implicit causal conclusions are sometimes misstated. The link between the causal…

Recent years have seen a rapid expansion of efforts to promote social and emotional learning (SEL) in the nation's schools. As some observers have pointed out, though, the growth of the SEL movement poses some challenges. In particular, concerns have been raised about the need for clearer definitions of SEL, less hype, more attention to equity,…
