Purpose: Motor competence (MC) is important for child health and development, yet MC levels are low. Childhood is an important time to develop MC, and primary physical education (PE) provides an ideal setting. MC assessment is integral to targeted teaching and improvement of MC through a targeted approach. Therefore, the aim is to identify (a) the…

Purpose: Extension and advisory services (EAS) are crucial for farm success and rural well-being in Canada. Like elsewhere, Ontario's EAS has transformed, embracing diverse providers and methods. While research on pluralistic EAS grows, little examines how stakeholders perceive the effectiveness of different methods. This study fills the gap,…

This content analysis examined the evaluative components of elementary, high-stakes, state standardized writing sample rubrics. We explored the ten most populated states in the United States, and thus most influential states, to yield salient trends in writing evaluation for early grades. Using Spandel's analytical traits as our conceptual…

The pedagogy of the colonising British in nineteenth-century India was critical of traditional Indian education for various reasons. The proselytising pedagogists who viewed the cultural practice of caste as a major stumbling block to their evangelising mission continued to confront the practice, which appeared to have stood on a footing of social…

Personas, initially originated in user experience research, are short and simplified representations of particular user groups, and this methodological approach has recently gained ground in educational research. This study aims to explore aspects of personas that may be beneficial for prospective mathematics teachers when they develop digital…

Undergraduate mathematics education is essential for building a foundation for success in various scientific disciplines. Curriculum reforms in mathematics education have emphasized the need for cultivating learning skills that depend on effective student engagement (SE). Consequently, there has been growing research on the mechanisms that…

The first MOOC course on geo-informatics, 'maps and the geospatial revolution' was provided as video materials by Penn State in July 2013, since then, the number of geo-informatics MOOC courses has increased significantly (Robinson et al., 2015). This study uses the edX geo-informatics course model as the origin of the experimental results to…

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of gamification on students' engagement and to understand their perceptions of gamification as a teaching and learning style. Design/methodology/approach: The participants in this research were students who had studied the principles of accounting courses at University of Technology…

To understand the achievement gaps that persist in our schools despite years of equity initiatives, we must look to the insidious legacy of segregated schools and the deliberate underdevelopment of diverse students' cognitive abilities. Uprooting this "cognitive redlining" requires we reimagine instruction for our most vulnerable…

Peter MacIntyre's 35-years of research in SLA, psychology of language learning, and communication was systematically reviewed in six sections driven by subjective guidelines developed for the purposes of the present survey. To operationalize the objectives of the sections, an impressionistic methodology was created for analysis, according to which…

Morphological knowledge is a complex construct integral to vocabulary breadth and reading comprehension. To understand its complexity, researchers examine its dimensionality. First, this study contributes to this broad topic by investigating whether morphological awareness and affix knowledge, related concepts with a long history of investigation…

This qualitative study critically evaluated whether curricula's power dynamics address the needs of students and educators or serve institutional or ideological agendas. To facilitate this evaluation, the study applied a critical media literacy framework to analyze the pedagogical approach promoted by the Center for Media Literacy within its…

Through in-depth interviews with junior high school teachers in Hong Kong who participated in a media and artificial intelligence literacy program intervention, this research highlights the importance of prioritizing values and ethics education over technical proficiency when incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into media literacy training.…

This study examined the relationship between student engagement, assessment preferences and ethnicity among university students. 64 participants who were enrolled in either BSc Psychology or BSc Psychology (Sport, Health and Exercise) at a UK university took part in the survey. The survey assessed student engagement through the University Student…

This paper presents research activity on computer-based mathematics learning to study the effectiveness of open-source teaching computer platforms (Canvas) in computer-assisted instruction. We designed a set of multiple-choice online quizzes as a dynamical flow-chart of possible paths to follow while solving a difficult math problem on…
