Nurses are essential in coordinating palliative care among healthcare teams, yet nursing education still lacks explicit focus on this area. This study aims to explore nursing students' competencies including palliative care knowledge (PCKN), attitudes toward death and end-of-life care (ADEoLC), perceived self-efficacy in EOL care (PSEC), ethical…

The aim of the study is to reveal the relationships between prospective teachers' awareness of reducing ecological footprint, their sustainable consumption behaviours and their behaviours towards sustainable environmental education by using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). In the study, a cross-sectional survey model was adopted, and the…

Children learn the cardinalities of the first numbers one, two, three and four before they learn how counting tracks cardinality for all numbers. It may be that when children start to understand counting, they also discover how numbers relate to one another in a structured number system. Do children who understand that the cardinality of a set is…

Non-experimental value-added models have been shown to yield forecast-unbiased estimates of teacher and school effects. To investigate, we propose a dynamic state-space model of knowledge accumulation, in which test scores are imperfect measures of knowledge, and students receive temporary and persistent shocks to their stock of knowledge each…

The current study examined how prospective first- and second-grade mathematics teachers define the polygon diagonals concept, how they reconstruct their definition during and following an intervention, and how their concept images develop over time. Twenty-three prospective teachers participated in the study, during which they were asked to…

The accelerating adoption of AI in education highlights the need for an assistant that is explicitly grounded in competency-based learning to develop learners' digital competencies. This study proposes the AI Assistant Framework on Competency-Based Learning for Digital Competency Development (AICoLED) and evaluates its appropriateness through…

The objectives of the present study were, on the one hand, to analyse the internal consistency of four questionnaires referring to the perception and knowledge of inclusion and cooperative learning (CL), and on the other, to discover the perception and knowledge of inclusion and CL in Physical Education (PE) of university students studying courses…

This study aimed to explore preschool teachers' knowledge, perceptions, and classroom practices regarding social-emotional learning in early childhood education settings. The study was designed as a qualitative research study with a phenomenological approach and focused on the lived experiences of 10 preschool teachers working with children aged…

Learning gain in higher education, specifically the development of subject-adjacent skills, abilities and competencies, is of key scholarly and policy relevance. However, little research focuses on students' broad understandings of learning gain. This paper takes a phenomenographic approach to explore students' conceptions of learning gain, and…

The current study explores the relationship between metalinguistic awareness -- specifically phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and orthographic knowledge -- and vocabulary knowledge within and across two languages, German (L1) and Arabic (L2), in bilingual children in Germany (N = 58). Phonological awareness emerged as a predictor…

Background: Previous research has investigated how staff from National Health Service Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services feel about supporting people with intellectual disabilities but has not explored the third (voluntary) sector, usually the main support provider in Scotland for nondependent SUD. Methods: A questionnaire sent to third sector…

Background: Environmental education is important for developing sustainable behaviors and increasing recycling awareness among younger generations. However, traditional teaching methods may not be sufficient to improve students' knowledge level and awareness regarding household waste and recycling. Objective: This study aimed to examine the…

This study aims to examine the extent of conceptual knowledge of students with and at risk of learning disabilities on entrepreneurial business ideas in the region where they reside. Clinical interviews were utilized to collect data in this study, which aims to reveal the current situation. The business ideas discussed in the interviews were…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming education, yet many institutions lack a comprehensive framework to integrate AI effectively. This paper develops an AI Education Competency Framework to guide the integration of AI in educational settings through a systematic literature review. Methodologically, a rigorous systematic literature…

A key consideration in providing effective reading instruction is the selection of a text. However, little is known about how preservice teachers are prepared to understand text complexity and how they leverage that knowledge in their text selection practices. Accordingly, this design/development study explored how preservice teachers (n = 81)…
