Educational technology (EdTech) interoperability throughout cyberspace provides the financial opportunity to collect and sell student privacy information in digital learning environments, challenging school leaders to govern schools and keep children safe. School leaders provide the resources, funding, planning, decision making, and administration…

Effective writing feedback is a powerful tool for enhancing student learning, encouraging revision, and increasing motivation and agency. Yet, teachers face many challenges that prevent them from consistently providing effective writing feedback. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have led educators and researchers to…

Story-time serves as an interactive linguistic tool through which parents encourage their children to share narratives. Grounded in sociocultural and narrative theories, this study employed a visual ethnographic approach to explore how parents perceive and engage in story-time interactions within 33 Chinese families. Data were collected through…

This meta-analysis included 27 empirical studies to explore the effectiveness of robot-assisted language learning (RALL) as well as the moderating effects of a number of variables. The comparison of 64 effect sizes from 2,637 participants indicated significant variability between the independent samples. The overall results showed that the…

This study explored the utilization of a collaborative teaching strategy to enhance online instruction among graduate school students. Qualitative action research design was utilized to further determine possible areas for improvement of the implementation of the strategy. Thirty-eight graduate students were interviewed to assess the use of the…

Adaptive expertise concerns the ability to respond effectively to novel and unexpected situations. This expertise is important for improving students' cognitive engagement, understanding and participation in meaningful learning. This paper presents findings on primary teachers' adaptive expertise in interdisciplinary mathematics and science using…

The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education highlights the need to explore its impact on preservice science teachers' 21st-century teaching competencies. This study aimed to explore the role of AI-assisted question generation on preservice science teachers' 21st-century teaching competencies. Mixed-methods research…

Limited research has examined the perspectives of teachers and parents on the effectiveness of e-learning platforms in achieving educational outcomes for kindergarteners. This study sought to evaluate the views of teachers and parents regarding the effectiveness of the Darsak platform in supporting educational outcomes in kindergarten settings. A…

This research pinpoints the barriers UK early years (EY) leaders face in accessing digitally mediated leadership development. Furthermore, we consider initiatives to disrupt digital exclusion and ensure more equitable access to professional learning opportunities. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic catalysed an upsurge in the use of digitally…

This article traces the evolution of English Language Teacher Education (ELTE) in Colombia over the past six decades. It critically examines how foreign-established methodologies and policies have shaped it, often ignoring local sociocultural realities. This influence incorporates diverse knowledge systems, practices, and processes of being and…

Tinkering learning is a pedagogical strategy that emphasizes hands-on exploration, experimentation, and learning from mistakes in STEM education. It involves using personal fabrication tools, such as a 3D printer, to develop and improve ideas through interactive play. Design-based making activities have gained popularity in K-12 classrooms as they…

Free access to powerful generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in schools has left educators and system leaders grappling with how to responsibly respond to the consequent challenges and opportunities that this new technology poses. This paper examines the priorities and challenges that senior Australian educational leaders identify with relation…

International teamwork skills are becoming more and more important for future engineers. Engineering projects with diverse students working towards solving an issue together could cultivate such skills. However, social exclusion may rise when faultlines emerge: dividing lines that split a group into relatively homogeneous subgroups. This study…

Biochemistry lab classes help students connect theory to real-world applications and develop practical, collaborative, and higher-order thinking skills. However, many students are unprepared, spending class time on protocols and equipment instead of higher-order learning. To improve preparation, digital gamified modules were created to replace…

Based on self-determination theory, this study examines the added value of video-based discussion, which is included in a need-supportive training programme, on novice teachers' motivating style and students' engagement throughout a school year. Twenty-four teachers in the treatment condition attended a need-supportive training programme including…
