The ability to effectively use digital technology and problem-solve are critical skills for maintaining democratic health, particularly as civil society and the modern digital landscape continuously evolve. However, information on whether individuals have the critical problem-solving skills to use digital technology and confidently affect change…

The interaction between teacher and student in an architecture design studio is an important part of the teaching/learning process because it generates a kind of conversation that solidates the 'learning by doing' of teaching. This paper attempts to closely examine the jury system during the design assessment session. By monitoring the jury…

This paper seeks to enhance understanding of how low-income students navigate financial stress by integrating the asset-based concept of financial well-being and including a focus on the institutional context. Data collected from 378 interviews with students from low-income backgrounds illustrate complex ways that students experience financial…

The effectiveness of science problem-based learning (PBL) is highly dependent on individual students' variability. Researchers have shown the need for cognition (NFC) and motivation are significant factors. Despite the acknowledged impact of these constructs, there is a gap in understanding the relationships among NFC, motivation, and learning…

In this study, we explored elementary school teachers' experiences working on open-ended mathematics tasks during a 10-day professional development (PD) workshop. Teachers engaged with the tasks daily in a session call Morning Math (MM). Thirty-two elementary teachers from three school districts in the USA participated in a 2-year professional…

Learners' use of digital simulations is an important dimension of scientific modeling. Prior studies show teachers may misconstrue the epistemic affordances of simulation, valuing simulations for their ease of use to portray information (Bo et al. "Journal of Science Education and Technology," 27, 550-565, 2018) and for their aesthetic…

Problems encountered in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) contexts cannot be adequately described or solved with the knowledge of a single discipline. Instead, a high level of inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge and methods is required to overcome them. These help to pose problems about the complex challenges and solve…

The Child Behavior Checklist for ages 6-18 (CBCL/6-18) is broadly used for psycho-educational assessment in identifying children's behavior problems in special education and psychology. However, the usefulness of the CBCL/6-18 in a Turkish sample still needs to be investigated. The current study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of…

The meta-analysis found that school-based interventions slightly reduced school exclusion. This effect, though small, was significant. Results varied by intervention type, with less impact on severe exclusions and mixed outcomes for behavioural issues. Larger sample sizes and independent evaluations are needed for more precise findings. School…

Prior research has shown that Productive Failure (PF), where learners attempt (and fail) to solve a problem prior to receiving instruction, is more effective for conceptual knowledge acquisition than receiving instruction first (Direct Instruction; DI). Higher diversity in generated solution attempts seemed positively associated with conceptual…

This article draws on interviews with student support service providers in the United Kingdom and United States of America to illustrate conflict between university values such as equality, diversity and inclusivity and the lack of protections and support afforded to students engaged in sex work. Utilising Foucauldian concepts of power and…

Purpose: This study investigates socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) in workplace team interactions to understand how professionals manage their learning processes during team meetings. It aims to identify what types of SSRL phases appear in workplace team interactions and which SSRL phases and team-regulation behaviors are associated…

For many, video games represent a popular form of entertainment. However, numerous research studies confirm that playing video games is a complex process with a significant educational component in addition to entertainment. Several researchers, including Papert and other authorities, have argued that we can learn a great deal about the learning…

Schools have long wrestled with how best to deal with student and schooling problems. The COVID-19 pandemic and other recent events have increased the number of such problems. This pressing reality along with growing concerns about social injustice and increasing criticism of public education have heightened calls for changes in how schools play a…

This study examines the beliefs of 33 preservice teachers (PSTs) from the U.S. have about using different types of real-world contexts in the mathematics classroom. Qualitative data about the participants' reactions to specially designed word problems that varied in contexts from "neutral" to controversial were collected. A thematic…
