This inquiry sought to investigate the opportunities and potential challenges of engaging in a self-study approach as a strategy for enhancing professional growth during my teaching of the topic of evolutionary genetics to 24 twelfth-grade students. I had, for many years, experienced pedagogical deficits and shortcomings when teaching evolutionary…

Contribution: This study focuses on microcontroller circuits and aims to: 1) investigate the impact of formal reasoning on students' post-knowledge using catastrophe theory; 2) compare the different combination sequences of tangible user interface (TUI) and graphical user interface (GUI); and 3) assess the usability of both interfaces and explore…

The neoliberal internationalisation of teacher education affects the professional lives of teacher educators in various ways. However, a comprehensive understanding of research on teacher educators during the times of neoliberal internationalisation has not been synthesised. This study reviews the literature on teacher educators within the context…

This study investigated the role of domain-specific and domain-general factors in predicting early literacy skills in Italian children. A sample of 239 first-grade students was evaluated using a broad neuropsychological battery to assess their cognitive skills. The results showed that phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, speed of…

This qualitative, case-study research explores the English language learning history of a Japanese pre-service teacher by analysing five English-language poems and a self-reflective essay regarding her experiences of learning the target language. The methodology chosen in this study was a poetic inquiry through which the investigator reconstructed…

Despite the rapid growth of integrating language learning applications into educational settings, limited studies have reported students' continuance intention to use mobile English learning applications in the mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) context. This study extended the expectation confirmation model (ECM) with mobile self-efficacy…

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine MHL and RHL in a sample of college students in the United States, and to explore linkages among literacies and related constructs. Participants: Participants were 169 (N = 169) participants who were adult college students at a state university in the southern United States. Participants were…

Although examining teachers' various areas of knowledge in classroom practices has attracted considerable attention during recent decade, a short multidimensional questionnaire to assess the interactions of the knowledge domains with teachers' technological knowledge is unavailable in the literature. Thus, this research presents a self-assessment…

This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots within higher education, focusing on the early feedback from STEM faculty members in Lebanon, particularly in the context of their widespread use among students. As AI intersects with traditional scientific inquiry, its incorporation into educational frameworks introduces…

This study refines and advances the Framework for evaluating Scientific Literacy (SL) within science textbooks/curricula by integrating "cognitive", "affective", and "sustainability" dimensions. Through a systematic review and analysis of 22 studies, the research identifies emerging themes to restructure the Cansiz…

Incorporating socio-scientific issues (SSI) into science education is essential in promoting civic engagement and fostering scientific literacy. However, it has not yet been fully introduced in Japan. This study proposes a science, technology, engineering, arts or liberal arts, and mathematics (STEAM) approach to address barriers to SSI…

Although mobile technologies are commonly used to support language learning, there is a lack of research to comprehensively determine the acceptance, readiness, affordances, and challenges in this area. To address this gap, this systematic literature review selected 49 articles indexed in the Scopus database between 2013 and 2022. This study found…

In this study, we examine the lived experiences of educators who engage with youth through media literacy education. While prior research has examined the efficacy of media literacy education interventions, little attention has been paid to the contexts in which these are conducted. Our analysis of 20 semistructured interviews reveals how the…

This comparative case study examined the experiences of urban and rural elementary school students in Korea using "PengTalk," an AI-based English learning application. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzed student surveys, usage records, and interviews. Quantitative data were examined through descriptive statistics and…

This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in primary mathematics education, focusing on the influence of internal and external factors on AI utilization. Employing second-order Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with data collected from 516 primary mathematics teachers in a southwest city in China, the research…
