Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and multimodal learning analytics (MMLA) have allowed for new and creative ways of leveraging AI to support K12 students' collaborative learning in STEM+C domains. To date, there is little evidence of AI methods supporting students' collaboration in complex, open-ended environments. AI…

In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of cooperative learning on the computational thinking skills and academic performances of middle school students in the computational problem-solving approach. We used the pretest-posttest control group design of the quasiexperimental method. In the research, computational problem-solving…

Word problem-solving (WPS) poses a significant challenge for many students, particularly those with mathematics difficulties (MD), hindering their overall mathematical development. To improve WPS proficiency, providing individualized and intensive interventions is critical. This umbrella review examined 11 medium- to high-quality meta-analyses to…

The prevention of emotional and behavioral problems (EBP) in preschool children requires the development of a collaborative process between parents and teachers. The basic principles of successful collaboration between teachers and parents include a cooperative, non-judgmental and non-stigmatizing approach to parents and children, as well as equal…

This paper explores the affordances of learning experiences gained in undergraduate students' professional ethics courses during the pandemic. The article also touches upon the possible contributions of the practices within the scope of the professional ethics course to students' professional and personal lives. Action research was used.…

This study examines the relationships among problem-solving (PS), perceived financial strain (PFS), economic hope (EH), education (ED), and life satisfaction (LS) across 32 countries with varying income levels, using data from 57,545 respondents. A moderated mediation model tests five hypotheses regarding their direct, mediating, and moderating…

English learner (EL) students are a heterogeneous group with unique needs and the challenges of acquiring a new language while also learning grade-level academic content. Math word problems pose a challenge for some EL students who are at risk for math disabilities. This study, conducted by myself and H. Lee Swanson, used a single-case research…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with scaffolding in enhancing problem-solving skills among students with varying levels of prior knowledge. The main objective is to determine how scaffolding, when combined with PBL, can support students in developing stronger problem-solving…

Purpose: Sleep problems are common in neurodevelopmental genetic disorders (NGD), with impacts on daytime functioning amplified in these individuals. However, despite their prevalence and clinical impact, correlates of sleep difficulties in this group remain poorly characterized. This study used a large cohort of individuals with several rare NGDs…

Studying complex interactions between variables to comprehend phenomena can be challenging for students of all ages. Simulations are often used to facilitate exploratory learning of complex phenomena, but students still face difficulties in comprehending interactions between factors. This study examined the comparative effectiveness of the…

Toddlerhood is a period of intensive and rapid socio-emotional development. The effects of different types of childcare settings on child development have been widely studied, but the results have often been contradictory. The aim of this study was to compare social competence and socio-emotional problems in two-year-old children (n = 1104; girls…

Students' difficulties in differentiating the direct proportion and inverse proportion problems cause interference. Proactive interference is the error that occurs when old information (concept of direct proportion) interferes with new information (concept of inverse proportion). In solving the problem of inverse proportion, students often use the…

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Family Check-Up initiated during kindergarten on teacher-report of children's emotional and behavior concerns in fourth grade. Participants were 57 primary caregivers, along with their children and teachers. Participants were randomized to a Family Check-Up condition or school-as-usual…

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) emphasizes the teaching of "Big Ideas" in mathematics. This study focuses on the part-part-whole (PPW) relationship as a crucial aspect of word problem solving involving addition and subtraction. This study, conducted in the United States, evaluated the effects of conceptual…

Increasingly, scholarly journals have begun retracting published articles for reasons other than those described by advisory organizations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Numerous research articles have been retracted of late due to political concerns. Additionally, some articles have been retracted for behavioral misconduct,…
