Social media may promote knowledge sharing but what users do with the new knowledge and how it may influence practice remains to be known. This exploratory study used a social constructivist lens to understand how health professions educators and researchers integrate knowledge from social media into their respective practices. We purposively…

This paper provides a critical and detailed study of what researchers in the fields of contemporary cognition and neuroscience have revealed about the blurred boundary between perception and cognition. We set out the arguments with a view to what researchers and teachers should now consider regarding the subtleties of their interrelationship in…

In the wake of the present inclusion of programming in mathematics education, which is a feature of curricular revisions in many countries, we have analysed newly inserted programming activities in mathematics textbooks. The aim was to investigate how such activities relate to and potentially affect students' opportunities to learn mathematics.…

This academic article aims to present the principles of systematic design and development of educational innovations through research methodology, alongside protocols for effectiveness evaluation. The design and development of contemporary educational innovation require integration between principles of innovation and technology implementation,…

Neuroanatomy education has evolved and improved over the years, driven by advances in technology that have led to the development of innovative interactive digital and immersive learning resources. While neuroanatomy educators have been keeping pace with and harnessing these technology advances, many medical students still struggle to apply their…

In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and algorithm-driven decision-making, human roles, skills, and educational priorities are undergoing an unprecedented transformation. As machines become increasingly capable of performing routine, analytical, and even creative tasks, the fundamental question arises: What remains uniquely…

Mathematical modeling tasks can engage students in ways in which they see themselves as mathematicians capable of using mathematics to solve real-world and complex problems. As mathematics teacher educators and researchers, the authors collaborated with two 5th-grade teachers, Liz and Anna (pseudonyms), focusing on equitable practices that foster…

This study explores the role of urban green spaces (UGSs) in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) teachers' pedagogical practices and their impact on young children's environmental and sustainability learning. Utilizing observations, teacher interviews, conversations, and a comprehensive survey conducted in Stavanger, Norway, the study…

Teachers' teaching styles play a crucial role in students' creativity. However, previous studies have focused only on variable-centered research methods that presuppose teachers to be of a particular type, which does not correspond to real-life contexts in which they teach. Therefore, this study will use a person-centered approach, latent profile…

I want to address the political element in the pedagogical engagement. Too often the business of teaching is presented as somehow independent of political influence or implication. When ERO talked about 'delivering the curriculum', the terminology reflected a very neo-liberal view that the curriculum was something different from the process of…

The role of an orientation & mobility (O&M) specialist is essential to provide professional training and recommendations to promote safe, independent street crossings for people who are blind or have low vision. This article provides novel approaches to teaching crossing strategies using tactile maps to individuals with visual impairments…

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into education has introduced both opportunities and challenges for academic institutions. As educators navigate whether and how to allow AI use in their classrooms, syllabus statements have become indispensable for clarifying expectations and promoting digital literacy. This article…

This study highlights research trends and teaching methods in inquiry-based learning in Japan's elementary school curriculum of the "period for integrated studies" by conducting a scoping review of existing literature. Thirty papers that focused on teaching methods for inquiry-based learning were reviewed, and five subthemes were…

The issue of mathematical knowledge in teaching has been widely discussed over the years. In this study, we carried out a systematic review of the literature with the aim of understanding, quantitatively and qualitatively, the studies developed related to the mathematical knowledge necessary for the teaching of Mathematics, with a focus on Numbers…

This study examines differences in teachers' uptake of critical language pedagogy during a 16-week graduate course. Drawing on narrative constructs of personal, professional, and linguistic identity, the study shows that the more tightly teachers integrate hegemonic language ideologies into their various identities, the more hesitant they are to…
