Autistic adults face various psychological and physical health conditions which often require ongoing medical attention. Despite a greater likelihood of health conditions, autistic adults face many systemic barriers in accessing healthcare services. It is important to identify facilitators to healthcare access and recognize the impact of…

Physics teacher identity encompasses teachers' beliefs and views toward being a physics teacher. Physics teacher identity is influenced by teachers' perspectives on physics teaching and learning. Previous studies on teacher identity in general suggest that the construct is complex and malleable. Studies further suggest that it influences…

Teachers' negative attitudes towards autistic students remain a major obstacle to their school inclusion. This exploratory study aims to investigate the mediating role of teacher's self-efficacy and knowledge of the relationship between a teacher's status (general education teachers "versus" special education ones) and attitudes towards…

This research is aimed at examining the effects of developing research competencies to enhance the current learning of student teachers at Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University. This study focuses on participants before, during, and after the implementation of the proposed model. The sample consists of 35 fourth-year students enrolled in the Bachelor…

Honey bee pollination of specialty crops is essential to agriculture and yet there are almost no university instructional programs to train the next generation of beekeepers. One reason for this lack of university investment in apiculture instruction is that there may not be enough students located at universities interested in the pursuit of…

Environmental education for children is a critical strategy that addresses current environmental threats by encouraging individuals to make positive changes in their daily behaviors. However, existing programs aimed at children often fall short of achieving effective learning outcomes because they do not consider the children's developmental…

This mixed-methods study investigated 247 senior Turkish preservice teachers' (PTs) generic competency profiles by conducting a latent profile analysis (LPA), which allows researchers to explore individuals within subpopulations in a holistic way. By using the generic teacher competency framework (GTCF) as data collection tool, the LPA analysis…

Classroom behavioural management stands as one of the most critical skills for teachers to master, both in theory and practice. This study aimed to compare the knowledge and skills in behaviour management between two groups: special education teachers in integrated special education classes and mainstream teachers in inclusive classrooms within…

The Do-Live-Well (DLW) framework was developed by occupational therapists (OTs) to demonstrate how engaging in various activities can impact health and well-being of people. The DLW team has provided education for OTs across the world, and there has been a need for online learning with synchronous features. This study aimed to examine the impact…

Argumentation is a critical genre of writing that elementary school students are expected to develop, but little is known about how different domains of language contribute to argumentative writing. To explore this, we identified two domains of language: linguistic knowledge (lexical, morphological, and syntactic skills) and linguistic awareness…

This paper examines the contestations surrounding the rights and responsibilities of the state and parents to educate children. Focusing our analysis on home education, we suggest that these disputes represent the convergence of -- at times agonistic -- parental and state politics of care and concern surrounding education and children. To advance…

The present paper examines a type of abstract domain-general knowledge required for the process of constructing useable domain-specific causal knowledge, the evident goal of causal learning. It tests the hypothesis that analytic knowledge of "causal-invariance decomposition functions" is essential for this process. Such knowledge…

For the purposes of this study, teachers received collaborative and applied digital competence training in creating interactive e-books. After the training, the changes in these teachers' perceptions of digital competencies and how teachers plan to use their experiences while performing their profession were examined. Case studies provided data…

Background: Despite the relevance of assessing sexual knowledge in people with Intellectual Disability, there is a lack of appropriate assessment tools to measure this domain. The current study tests the psychometric properties of the new 'Inventory of Sexual Knowledge of people with Intellectual Disability' (ISK-ID). Method: 345 individuals with…

Background: Although pollinators play an integral role in human well-being, their continued global decline reflects the need to provide and evaluate general pollinator knowledge to promote their conservation. Enhancing learners' understanding of the complexity inherent in pollination systems within the science classroom may help them make more…
