This study assesses the current landscape of teaching-focused faculty (TFF) in ChE through a combination of departmental surveys, individual faculty surveys, and manual data collection from institutional websites. We identify key factors influencing TFF salaries. Open-ended responses show that student interactions are the most rewarding aspect of…

Background/purpose: Instructional interaction barriers--including physical, psycho-emotional, perceptual, semantic, and management-related factors--can impede learning and diminish the overall effectiveness of classroom practice. This study examines the barriers faced by mathematics teachers in Saudi Arabia and their differences across gender,…

Students who study university courses online have a higher level of attrition compared with their on-campus counterparts, so online student engagement has become a contemporary concern for teaching faculty. The issue of student engagement is particularly acute in fields such as Guidance and Counselling in Education, which have not traditionally…

In this literature synthesis, we reviewed qualitative research studies that captured rich descriptions of instructors' experiences in higher education (HE) as they transitioned from traditional in-person classrooms to online learning environments. We identified articles for review by conducting an ERIC database search that targeted qualitative…

This research aimed to 1) examine the needs for developing digital content on the metaverse 2) develop and evaluate the quality of digital content on the metaverse combined with interactive communication activities 3) compare the perception of the sample group before and after viewing the digital content, and 4) assess the satisfaction of the…

Interest in using mathematics and science videos in educational settings has surged in recent years. Yet there remains a gap in researchers' understanding of the ways in which students make sense of the ideas expressed in the videos. In this study, thematic analysis was used to identify how eight high school students made sense of and engaged with…

This phenomenological qualitative study examines the impact of both structured and unstructured interactions on the sense of belonging among first-year Chinese international students (CIS) in U.S. residence halls. Guided by Hurtado's (2012) diverse learning environments and Yao's (2014) literature on international student belonging, this study…

While recent research demonstrates that teacher noticing is a core construct of teaching, it also raises new questions about this construct. Here, we offer an expanded framework that addresses three key questions. Specifically, we suggest that attending involves not only selecting particular features of instruction to observe, but also…

Physical educators may be hesitant to adopt cooperative learning in their classes because they are concerned that a focus on socioemotional learning may reduce motor skill development. However, cooperative learning can increase physical activity engagement and interpersonal skills. This article demonstrates what cooperative learning can look like…

Purpose: Although much can be learned from schools that regularly foster deeper learning, little research has been undertaken into how and why these schools have been effective or to elucidate key leadership and cultural characteristics. Moreover, there has been limited attention toward deeper learning within schools that focus on career and…

Intergenerational games to be played by grandparents and their grandchildren can be mutually beneficial for both age groups: breaking with age stereotypes, linking the learning and leisure needs of both generations and encouraging communication, solidarity, and social connectedness between generations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was…

Emotion detection through sensors is intrusive and expensive, making it impractical for many educational settings. As an alternative, sensor-free affect detection, which relies solely on interaction log data for machine learning models, has been explored. However, sensor-free emotion detectors have not significantly improved performance when…

Maternal substance use and unpredictable maternal sensory signals may affect child development, but no studies have examined them together. We explored the unpredictability, frequency and duration of maternal sensory signals in 52 Caucasian mother-child dyads, 27 with and 25 without maternal substance use. We also examined the association between…

This paper outlines a conceptual framework for enacting relational pedagogy. Commencing with a description of a relational ontology that can work to provide the foundation for engaged and participatory enactments of teaching and learning, the paper moves to consider the "dynamics" that support inclusive modes of education and the…

Science museums (SMs) are important places for informal science learning, with visitors' self-directed social interactions affecting their learning outcomes. Analyzing group conversations with varying compositions in SMs can reveal visitor interactions characteristics, knowledge construction process, and emotional experiences during their visits.…
