In ancient poetry courses, students are expected to learn literary skills and the ability for interpreting ancient poems, from which they can gain insight into the historical context and appreciate the beauty of the poems. However, due to the gaps between ancient and modern living contexts, students often encounter difficulties in comprehending…

The emergence of prosocial tendencies in early childhood is still not well understood and not commonly tested with direct measures. This study investigated predictors of prosocial behavior (i.e., prosocial decision-making and prosocial creativity) in 3-to-5-year-old children and explored the role of demographic factors on empathy and moral…

The fusion genre merges Peking Opera's narrative depth and cultural symbolism with Western music's harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic diversity, creating a hybrid musical form that preserves traditional art while resonating with contemporary audiences. The objective is to investigate the fusion development of Chinese popular songs inspired by Peking…

This study aims to investigate the role of social support--specifically from family, teachers, and peers--in enhancing computational thinking (CT) abilities among elementary school students. Grounded in social support theory, the scales related to teacher, parental, and peer support were adapted from the PSIA test. After ensuring their reliability…

Background/purpose: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education is becoming increasingly important in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), due to the country's rapid economic expansion and the demand for STEM-qualified graduates. Curriculum creators and policymakers have realized the importance of integrating STEM education at…

Socioeconomic gaps in academic achievement have been widely documented. However, whether and to what extent these socioeconomic gaps extend to the domain of socio-emotional skills is still relatively underexplored. Furthermore, limited research has examined the potential mechanisms that might help explain this relationship. To address these gaps,…

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT become increasingly integrated into academic settings, understanding students' perspectives is critical--particularly in underrepresented regions such as Lebanon and Palestine. A mixed-methods approach using survey data and thematic analysis of in-depth interviews was employed to analyze students' perceived…

Poor teaching quality indicates an unpleasant learning environment, tends to inherit knowledge that impacts the learning process as limited to tacit knowledge, and does not reach the explicit knowledge process, resulting in lower productivity and poor morale. This study aims to analyze the influence of instructional leadership on the competencies…

This study aims to understand students' views on project development in coding and robotics courses. Focusing on student study groups in this field seeks to provide a broad view using qualitative and quantitative methods. The study group consists of students taking the coding and robotics course. A semi-structured interview form developed by the…

Making engineering courses more diverse and inclusive has received increased support recently. The Include program aims to transform the academic environment in engineering to empower students who identify as neurodiverse; and, as part of the program, the statics course, a required course for all civil engineering majors, was redesigned based on…

This paper used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method for data collection and analysis to explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on communication and media studies in Arab countries in terms of its contribution to enhancing the learning capabilities of media students and developing their…

In this study, longitudinal relations between achieving language and mathematics with perceived creativity and predicting academic achievement in high school among academically higher achieving students (N = 214) are examined. Data from the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study 2013 (Waves 1 [approximately] 7, 2013 [approximately] 2019; KEDI,…

International organisations have pressed countries to prepare students for the knowledge economy by building real-life competencies into national curricula, and the OECD's PISA has assessed competencies like collaboration and creative problem solving. But is there really a deficit in competencies that schools must address? This review of empirical…

Interest in using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in design education is growing, yet its impact on students' creative processes and motivation remains underexplored, especially in advertising design. This qualitative exploratory case study examined how GenAI tools influenced 12 undergraduate graphic and multimedia design students…
