This study explored the connection between mathematics anxiety and spatial reasoning, examining potential mediating and moderating effects of spatial anxiety, as well as the roles of grade level and gender. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 477 elementary school students in Jakarta, selected through convenience sampling. Participants…

Previous research suggests that learning from combined textual and pictorial representations is generally more effective than from text alone. However, when these elements are spatially separated, learners must mentally integrate them, increasing cognitive load. According to cognitive load theory, such split-attention formats are less effective…

The purpose of this study was to examine middle school students' informal reasoning patterns and socioscientific reasoning about local and general socioscientific issues (SSI). The study was conducted with 59 7th-grade students using a case study, a qualitative research design. Data collection included activity sheets completed by students based…

In educational institutions, school administrators play an important leadership role in the effective and efficient implementation of technology integration. The standards developed by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) provide a comprehensive framework to guide administrators in this area. This study aims to assess…

The research developed and validated EKSAI (Epistemic Knowledge Science Assessment Instrument), an assessment tool for epistemic knowledge in science education. The background is that 21st-century challenges demand a transformation in science education, with a focus on understanding how scientific knowledge is developed and evaluated, which is…

Empowering students with a robust Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, while equipping their teachers with comprehensive training, fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are important aspects of innovation, social progress, and advancement. The main objective of this study is to investigate how a…

This study was prompted by the scarcity of empirical investigation regarding the relationship between instructional leadership and teacher well-being through the mediating roles of professional learning communities and teacher self-efficacy in Chinese school settings.

Creating truly equitable education is a challenge. Equity, diversity, and inclusion endeavours are often characterized by a depreciative deficit-thinking and a problem-based view on diversity. In this article, we present the MIXED model (Multi-perspective Inclusive eXchanges for Equity and Diversity), which can support lecturers in establishing an…

In some European settings, bilingual education (BE) has received criticism for catering to the 'elite', due to it mainly being chosen by, or offered to, pupils from high socio-economic backgrounds, only marginally including pupils with a migrant background. Nevertheless, because of its focus on global citizenship, BE in Europe could also be used…

The main aim of this research is to describe and understand the main elements comprising the teaching innovation in teachers. For this purpose, a mixed research design was used, combining the survey method with case studies in three Iberoamerican countries (Spain, Brazil and Portugal) with teachers of pre-school, primary and secondary education.…

The development of science and technology without individual environmental awareness has led to a decline in environmental quality. This issue can be addressed by enhancing environmental literacy, which includes ecological knowledge, cognitive skills, environmental attitudes, and behaviors. In practice, the question arises as to whether knowledge…

We conduct a randomised control trial at an Italian university to investigate the impact of test anxiety on high-stakes exams. Students are subjected to two different interventions -- silence and music -- designed to influence their pre-test anxiety levels. We monitored and compared individual biomarkers before and after each treatment to measure…

The over-saturation of labour markets in some countries has led to a devaluation of university degrees and reshaped the factors determining employability for higher-quality jobs. As a result, the social capital of graduates has emerged as an essential resource in addressing these challenges. This study examines the influence of social capital on…

Acceleration, compacting the curriculum, differentiation, and asynchronous development are just some of the many concepts that underpin the discipline of gifted education and its associated pedagogy. There is little discussion or indeed implementation of these strategies within the tertiary sector. What would tertiary education in Australia look…
