The research aims to explore the acquisition of Computational Thinking (CT) sub-skills among 5th and 6th grade secondary school students in Turkey through a block-based programming application, code.org. It seeks to understand if mastering these skills is essential for students globally. This study involved seven volunteer students selected…

Little is known about pre-service teachers' (PSTs) content-specific pedagogical beliefs and what causes alignment or misalignment, particularly when it comes to technology integration in emergency remote teaching (ERT). This study looked at the use of technology in teaching practice, content-specific pedagogical views held by PSTs, and the factors…

Academic self-concept, a central psychological construct that powerfully explains learners' varied motivations and learning behaviors, needs to be further explored to deepen our understanding of language learner psychology. Drawing on self-reported learning histories, this study investigates the English self-concept of successful English as a…

Despite numerous studies about language learning strategies (LLSs), many learners still misunderstand their effectiveness, thinking they require too much effort for minimal gain. Additionally, students have varied and conflicting preferences for LLSs, and factors like cultural background influence their choices, indicating a need for more research…

This article shares results from the research project "Experiential Learning Assessment in Post-Secondary Education." The purpose of this research was to develop a further understanding of experiential learning assessment (EL) through an exploratory approach with university faculty and students. This article shares findings from the…

This study examines the integration of University Social Responsibility (USR) into higher education through a case study of the "Creativity Design" course at National Chiayi University. The course, supported by Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council, aimed to address challenges faced by Haomeili, a remote village facing the…

In this paper, we develop a mixed stochastic approximation expectation-maximization (MSAEM) algorithm coupled with a Gibbs sampler to compute the marginalized maximum a posteriori estimate (MMAPE) of a confirmatory multidimensional four-parameter normal ogive (M4PNO) model. The proposed MSAEM algorithm not only has the computational advantages of…

This publication provides a summary of data relating to students, programs, subjects, and training providers in Australia's government-funded vocational education and training (VET) system. Government-funded is defined as Commonwealth and/or state or territory government funded training delivered by contracted training organisations. Data for the…

The increase in the number of years of school within the Jamaican school system has caused the government of Jamaica to introduce the Six Form Pathway program. The program was introduced as an intervention method for students to stay in school longer in order to acquire the requisite subject or experience to attend university or to be employable.…

To offer the greatest value to society, the next government needs to deliver a single, strategic approach to research, innovation and higher education so that universities can be better in a decade than they are today. This report offers recommendations to better universities by: (1) supporting students to succeed; (2) putting universities at the…

The objectives of this study were to study (i) the excellence in quality management of basic schools in the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, (ii) the innovative organization of basic schools at the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, and (iii) the excellence in quality management affecting the innovative…

Interpersonal abilities as critical competencies are a prevalent subject in hospitality training. However, there remains a need to further study how teachers and trainers apply instruction practices to develop and strengthen students' interpersonal abilities. This study aimed at identifying instruction practices used by teachers and trainers to…

This short reflection explores both the challenges and potentials of teacher professional learning in contemporary times. It argues that the neoliberal logics of professional development as deployed in many contexts around the world limit and curtail the potential for teachers to engage in generative professional learning that fosters growth and…

The field of higher education (HE) is characterized by diversity stemming from multiple sources. Diversity results in boundaries that carry the potential to promote personal and professional development for HE students. Boundaries also offer the possibility of learning generic skills and planning and carrying out challenging tasks that require…
