Reading motivation is critical in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, insufficient reading motivation leads to several problems concerning the learners' reading development. One of the strategies to maintain and boost learners' motivation is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into language teaching practices. One…

While citizen science and other participatory approaches to science are increasingly used in schools to promote student science learning, rarely are these students supported to collect, analyze, and share their data with meaningful outside audiences. In this study, we used a Design-Based Research approach to iteratively develop and examine an…

Chinese traditional crafts represent an important cultural heritage. However, with the advancement of modernization, the inheritance of these crafts has encountered challenges such as a talent gap and the loss of craft carriers.

In this critical self-study, four educators located in two Canadian provinces in both secondary and post-secondary institutions investigated their pedagogical practices of using picture books as teaching tools. By exploring the intersection of critical friends and collaborative learning, we investigated how this synthesis enhanced teacher…

We investigated whether congruent action while reading informational texts about physics improves science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) vocabulary learning and reading comprehension. Second- and third-grade Spanish-speaking children (N = 216) were randomly assigned to one of five conditions implementing forms of Embodied-Action or…

The use of interactive learning methods is considered crucial in equipping university students with critical skills. This could successfully deal with, and address issues encountered in real-world contexts. It has been noted that most first-year university students often face challenges adjusting to university life due to their background. The…

Despite the increasing emphasis on computational literacy in higher education, we observed that many undergraduate students particularly in developing contexts struggle to master fundamental programming skills and develop critical thinking. Conventional instructional approaches often lack interactivity and personalized scaffolding, which are…

Seventy-five out of 82 Indian universities offering data journalism were studied using Lewis's typology, with slight modifications for the Indian setting. Most syllabi remain theory-heavy, with little practical instruction and no engagement with deeper issues like epistemological shifts. Around 60% of the programs were introduced post-COVID,…

This paper examines teaching practices prevailing across five cities (Hong Kong, Macau, Shanghai, Singapore and Taipei) for the underpinning pedagogical identities that inform practice ("identity grafting"). The study adopts innovative approaches via OECD teacher surveys to identify relationships between pedagogical identities (highly…

A student's experience of mathematics in their school years has a lasting impact on many students through to adulthood. How we can improve this experience is a question of significance, as it directly impacts practice and importantly the futures of our students.
