Research on the possible benefits of digital games for learning outcomes in STEM education has shown mixed results, which is another reason that this study is focused on inconsistencies in past research outcomes. Moreover, it seeks to explore the moderator variables which affect the success of digital games like game design, interactive…

The overall performance of a chemical plant goes beyond engineering design and optimization. Operational factors such as teamwork, communication, human oversight, and process troubleshooting are crucial in determining the plant's safety and profitability. This paper proposes the integration of simulation-based teaching into the chemical…

This study examines the mathematization approaches and science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) practices utilized by 18 elementary bilingual pre-service teachers (PSTs) when solving a model-eliciting activity. The activity prompted participants to design ramps with certain constraints. A case study methodology was used to analyze the…

This scoping review aimed to identify and evaluate apps designed to screen or monitor speech, language, and communication (SLC) development in young children. Early identification and intervention are crucial for children with SLC difficulties, but traditional assessments can be time-consuming and lack ecological validity. Technological…

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected children with intellectual disabilities and their parents in numerous ways. This study investigates the impact by analysing the narratives of their parents in the city of Guwahati, located in Assam, a northeastern state of India. The study contributes to the scholarship on intellectual disability in…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) is increasingly essential in both scientific practice and modern education, yet remains difficult to embed authentically in classrooms. This study addressed that gap by integrating CPS into a ninth-grade biology lesson using a smartphone-based asymmetric simulation. The innovative three-phase instructional…

Student affairs practice must proactively address issues of access in the design and delivery of community service experiences. Gone are the days of presuming equitable access to opportunities. Recent research identifies significant barriers associated with financial security, familial responsibilities, time, and transportation as critical…

This article aims to advance K-12 health literacy through the integration of technology-enriched participatory methods within skills-based health education. By emphasizing active student engagement, these instructional strategies align with the National Health Education Standards and cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication…

The Stitching Urban Vision (SUV)1 method is innovative, facilitating children to co-create a sense of empowerment. SUV© fosters an understanding of negotiation using a shared vision. SUV© sits apart from traditional negotiating methods that often result in delayed, unresolved, and fragmented ideas. Adults often resist reaching collective decisions…

The purpose of the current study is to reveal the perception of group counselors regarding children's social emotional skills with a focus on art therapy. In this study, a partially mixed simultaneous equal-status design from mixed design models was used. The study group of the research consisted of 10-11-year-old students (n: 28, female: 14,…

Innovations have been made to educational strategies in health sciences to increase intrinsic motivation in students which helps generate a significant and active learning in students with the help of methodologies, such as gamification, using escape rooms (ER) and the use of digital tools, such as the Sectra Table. The objective of this study is…

Background/purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the extent and effectiveness of university support for research and development in Nepal, with a focus on existing policies, institutional mechanisms, funding structures, and challenges faced by academic researchers. Materials/methods: This study used a descriptive and analytical research…

It is seen as a need to integrate trainings for the development of life skills of disadvantaged children into schools. It is recommended to plan such activities by drawing attention to the lack of intervention programs for the development of life skills. In this context, the objective of the present study is to examine the effects of out-of-school…

Space exploration requires individuals who can think critically, adapt to uncertainty, and learn in cognitively complex environments. This paper examines how Human Systems Engineering (HSE) and cognitive design principles can enhance both astronaut training and STEM education on Earth. The same methodologies that help astronauts manage stress,…

Fostering students' dialogic reflection in the classroom entails promoting diverse perspectives and collaborative aspects of reflective thinking. However, few studies have developed visualisation tools to create a collaborative environment that fosters dialogic reflection, especially for young learners. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy…
