Much attention has been given to the academic performance of "disrupted learners," children whose schooling was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (Turner & Carillo, 2024). An area in need of further research is the impact this disruption had on student behavior and the implications for early childhood educators so they can…

The research on mathematical argumentation has mainly adopted a dialectic lens which focuses on understanding the abstract and logical development of reasoning in argumentation. However, this approach may have overlooked other key aspects of mathematical argumentation, including the unfolding of the meaning-making experience and process during…

Algebraic Thinking (AT) and Computational Thinking (CT) are pivotal competencies in modern education, fostering problem-solving skills and logical reasoning among students. This study presents the initial hypotheses, theoretical framework, and key steps undertaken to explore characterized learning paths and assign practice-relevant tasks. This…

This study examined the improvement of mathematical problem-solving skills and learning motivation among students taught using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR). It also investigated the interaction between the learning model and students' ability levels to enhance these skills and motivation. A…

Although research demonstrates benefits of collaboration in problem-solving, less is known about how different formats impact learning and cognitive engagement. This study compared in-person and virtual collaboration to individual problem-solving by measuring performance and cognitive engagement, using heart rate variability (HRV). Participants…

The importance of a critical and eco-socially conscious English language teacher education in Europe is considered in this study. Information is collected through a survey to assess the working practice of various teachers and their perceptions of English language teaching under an eco-social lens. New avenues are then suggested to build a…

Many students are finishing secondary school without the essential mathematical skills needed to participate in social activities. Research in mathematics education has been investigating the phenomenon of persistent low achievement in mathematics learning from various perspectives, including cognitive, affective, and social ones. Each perspective…

In uncertain situations, individuals rely on prior experiences of successes and failures to guide future decisions. Research has shown that children exposed to early adversity, such as abuse, can exhibit atypical behaviours in probabilistic learning tasks compared to peers without such experiences, which may have long-term behavioural…

Purpose: Design thinking, as a creative and innovative methodology, has been proposed as a process for non-designers to address complex problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using design thinking to foster English-major students' team creativity and collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: This study…

The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a team-based classroom management intervention developed to mitigate disruptive behaviors and promote prosocial behaviors of school-aged children. While the short-term benefits of the GBG are well documented in meta-analyses and systematic reviews, it is less clear for what long-term outcomes the GBG may reduce…

We draw on procedural justice, Latino Critical Legal Theory, and intersectional theoretical approaches to study how repeated punishments impact Latinx youth. In this qualitative study, we explore the effect of repeated school punishment on young people, referred to as the "Chronically Punished." Data revealed that "chronically…

Being able to learn from failure is a fundamental skill for a scientist, as scientists often learn from failure in practical work by trialling and refining experimental designs, improving calibration techniques, and hypothesising and testing expected outcomes. This qualitative, practice-based study describes how junior secondary science teachers…

In the current realm of education 4.0, teachers play a pivotal role as facilitators of holistic skill development. The shift in focus towards accentuating creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration (4C) skills signifies an acknowledgment of the changing demands brought about by the industrial revolution 4.0. This transformation…

Recent research suggests that working with generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, can produce more creative outcomes than humans alone. However, does AI retain its creative edge when humans have access to alternative information sources, such as another human or the internet. We explored this question in a between-group…

Background/purpose: This research aims to analyze the impact of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in differentiated learning to improve students' character values and learning outcomes in Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) at the elementary school level. Materials/methods: The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study…
