Differentiated instruction has emerged as a research-based approach to teaching that meets the diverse needs of students based upon learner readiness, interests, and learning profile, grounded in the socio-cultural, multiple intelligences, and brain-based learning theories. The purpose of this basic qualitative inquiry was to explore teachers'…

Curriculum strategies on social justice in education often focus on classroom management and technology integration, which may be surface-level approaches. Emerging trends include project-based learning and community partnerships for students to address real-world problems; as such, selected courses employ service-learning as a method of…

This paper uncovers the sustainability content in the science and mathematics curriculum of Qatar's K-12 public school system. It focuses on mapping the curriculum standards of both subjects against sustainable development goals (SDGs) and identifying the existing gap. The mapping, using a key-words approach, of sustainability concepts based on UN…

This report summarizes the results of kindergarten through fifth grade students' academic achievement outcomes in mathematics and science following four years of campus-level participation in the Launching Elementary Academic Foundations (LEAF) to STEM program. The LEAF to STEM Program consists of three key components that were adapted for K-5…

This book provides a deeper understanding of the concept of community engagement in higher education, encompassing crucial aspects such as stakeholder involvement, collaboration, community organization, and mobilization. It highlights the pivotal role of student engagement in promoting sustainable practices within higher education. The book goes…

Despite its feasibility and potential, technology-supported peer feedback in foreign language speaking classrooms has been under-researched. The present study aimed to extend this line of research by modeling Chinese postgraduates' and undergraduates' motivation, behavioral engagement in feedback provision, and achievement in a particular type of…

Background/purpose: The integration of moral values into EFL teaching has been an important issue in Indonesia as multimodal literacy practices can be employed to foster both language learning and moral development among young learners. This study investigated how multimodal learning can be used to promote moral values alongside language skills…

The instructor-student collaborative partnership has potential to transform education from a traditional, instructor-directed teaching to an active student-centred learning. However, it is not easy to promote the instructor-student collaborative partnership in the Eastern education contexts like China, due to the didactic, instructor-directed,…

The main purpose of this study is to reveal the opinions of science teacher candidates regarding the implementation of Discovery Learning-Based STEM Education in distance education with Applied Activities. The study was designed as a case study. Participants were first given basic chemistry education and introduced to the concepts of STEM,…

The eTwinning activities carried out through the European School Education Platform are an exemplary model of integrating technology and curriculum in education. This platform, which the European Commission supports, fosters collaboration between educators and students at both national and international levels. Through this platform, students…

This study evaluates the first year of implementation of "How Are the Children" (HATC), a project-based social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum designed to enhance high school student's social-emotional (SE) development. Through documentary filmmaking and lessons based on SE competencies, HATC aims to provide SEL support that…

In December 2022, Rock Island-Milan School District #41 (RIMSD), in partnership with the Connect with Kids Network (CWK) and Empirical Education, received an early-phase Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Education. RIMSD contracted with Empirical Education to conduct a one-year teacher-level randomized…

Transitioning from K-12 to college poses significant challenges due to the shift from guided learning to self-directed engagement. Traditional pedagogies such as inquiry-based learning and flipped classrooms have not fully resolved issues like poor retention and low graduation rates in STEM fields, which are critical for economic growth and…

While multimodal composing has been systematically explored, there is hardly any research on how undergraduates use video and audio effects to communicate meanings. Effects are important because they facilitate the semiotic sculpting of the source visual and aural elements, making accessible an extra layer of semiotic potential. The present study…

This case study describes an alternative process-focused approach to a group project assignment in an undergraduate Systems Analysis and Design (SAD) course. This approach more closely reflects the incremental and iterative nature of Information Systems Development Projects (ISDP) through expanded scope, modified instructions, and reallocation of…
