Computer Science (CS) is a vital subject in K-12 education, and acquiring proficiency in CS is essential for nurturing talent. However, current teaching practices often rely on standardized tests to evaluate academic performance, which may not offer a comprehensive and multidimensional assessment of students' competency in learning CS.…

Digital literacy is a 21st century requirement and its importance is increasing day by day. In this article, it was aimed to evaluate the development of digital literacy skills of mathematics teachers and prospective teachers through Technology Assisted Education (TAE). In addition, the opinions of the teachers about the training were also…

This study centres on the experiences of autistic librarians in academic library workplaces, delving into how they become information literate--an intricate process influenced by social, epistemic, and physical modalities. Through a qualitative approach combining survey responses from 43 participants and detailed interviews with two autistic…

Vocational education and training (VET) systems are a vital driver of the European twin transition. It is challenging for VET learners to keep up with the increasing demands of digital economies and societies. This policy brief uses Cedefop's second European Skills and Jobs Survey (ESJS2) to make a case for a renewed digital skills revolution in…

Today's science education faces the imperative task of developing students' competency to navigate misinformation while broadening the scope of scientific literacy. Traditionally, the concept of epistemic dependence, which encourages public trust in professional scientists, has supported this goal. However, the current landscape of science…

Currently, digital technology is becoming a leading force driving global education reform. The integration of artificial intelligence and education has brought opportunities for innovation and improvement in education. The level of AI ability of teachers and students determines the level of digitalization and intelligence in the development of…

Purpose: Autistic individuals often exhibit poorer emergent literacy skills (e.g., phonological awareness, print knowledge, oral language) relative to their non-autistic peers. Although emergent literacy skills are known to impact future reading success in typical development, their relationship with word recognition and reading comprehension in…

The analysis of citation patterns in the scholarly landscape of data literacy using data collected from Scopus and analysed using Vosviewer reveals significant findings. Initially, 997 documents were identified, averaging 52 per year, but a criterion of 10 citations per document narrowed down the subset to 205 documents, indicating substantial…

Many schools are challenged concerning the development and the execution of the budgets. For this reason, this study intends to explore stakeholders' experiences in executing budget development and further explore how implementation is executed in a South African context. A qualitative methodological approach within the constructivist approach was…

Using an observational comparative case study, this study explored emergent readers' book selection behaviors within their classrooms. Emergent literacy skills are the forefront of literacy development (Clay, 1982; Ferriero & Teborsky, 1982; Teale, 1986; McNaughton, 1993; Chall, 1996; Neuman, 2000), yet reading motivation and engagement has…

In this paper, we describe student understanding of the "force concept" (basic concepts of Newtonian mechanics) by representing it as a vector-valued quantity, which we refer to as the "score-state vector," in a (30-dimensional) Force Concept Inventory (FCI) score space. We use a large ensemble of FCI results collected…

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an asynchronous e-text, "Library 101," in teaching students about library resources and services. Developed in a collaboration between the eLearning librarian and Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, the "Library 101"…

The promotion and implementation of programming education in primary and secondary schools in the intelligent era are associated with high-quality information technology (IT) teachers who possess programming literacy. IT teachers' programming literacy requires a scientific and reasonable index system for quantitative evaluation. On the basis of…

In this design case, I discuss the design and development of an open educational resource textbook on teaching methods of early literacy, primarily geared toward preservice teachers in Iowa. This design case intends to provide an interdisciplinary example of an accessible, multimodal, interactive, contextually relevant, and culturally inclusive…

Artificial intelligence (AI) education empowers teachers to enhance the educational process. Although conventional face-to-face or fully online training methods each have their strengths, they do not fully address challenges such as the rapid pace of AI advancements, differences in teachers' ability to grasp AI knowledge, and the need for flexible…
