Physical inactivity among university students is a growing concern, significantly impacting their overall health and well-being. Understanding the factors that influence physical activity is essential for promoting healthier lifestyles in this demographic. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory and the Health Belief Model, this study investigates…

This study was conducted to validate the measurement model of the awareness of e-waste management among secondary school students. The study's respondents consisted of 1,000 students from Malaysian secondary schools, who were selected using a simple random sampling technique based on their school level. The constructs studied were knowledge,…

Sustainable Development Goal 5 calls for eliminating discrimination and violence against women, but this will not be possible without feminist teacher training. In this research, the knowledge and perceptions of trainee primary school teachers (TPSTs) regarding gender-based violence (GBV) and sexism were identified. The micro-space of the…

This study aims to examine pre-service elementary mathematics teachers' knowledge of quadrilaterals and evaluate their understanding within the framework of Van Hiele's Geometric Thinking Levels. In particular, the study investigates how pre-service teachers define quadrilaterals and establish relationships between different types of…

This study examined the levels of civic knowledge, civic skills, and patriotic attitudes of undergraduates in North Central Nigeria and the extent to which civic knowledge and civic skills predict their patriotic attitudes. The study adopted a descriptive research design. Three universities in North Central Nigeria were purposively used for this…

This study examines secondary students' understanding of epigenetics, focusing on their scientific representations from a chemical perspective. The purpose was to identify common misconceptions and assess how technological interventions can enhance students' conceptual models of epigenetics. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating…

Botanical literacy is a crucial component of science education, particularly in light of the contemporary socio-ecological challenges. However, the literature reports that, due to the phenomenon known as Plant Awareness Disparity (PAD), average botanical literacy is scant. Multiple factors influence the effectiveness of botanical education,…

Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy among young men in Türkiye. Self-testicular examination is a simple, cost-effective, and noninvasive method for early detection. In recent years, peer education has gained prominence as a complementary approach to traditional testicular self-examination (TSE) instruction. This study investigates the…

This study investigates elementary school teachers' mastery of mathematical content and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in Eastern Indonesia, a region bordering other countries. Specifically, the research explores the relationship between teachers' knowledge of content and students (KCS), knowledge of content and teaching (KCT), and knowledge…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has evolved rapidly, and many K-12 mathematics classroom teachers experience tensions about how to utilize it within their practice. The tensions become evident relative to teachers' readiness and willingness to use GenAI based on their: (1) personal depth of knowledge; (2) ethical concerns; and (3) lack…

Purpose: The paper examines the key -- yet often unseen, under-appreciated and under-studied role in learning played by the line manager on degree apprenticeship programmes. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is based primarily on semi-structured interviews with line-managers supporting apprentices enrolled on a management degree…

Knowledge Tracing (KT) is a task to model students' knowledge based on their coursework interactions within an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). Recently, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) showed superb performance over classical methods on multiple dataset benchmarks. While most Deep Learning based Knowledge Tracing (DLKT) models are optimized for…

Background: The delivery of effective, evidence-based early reading instruction depends partially on teachers' knowledge about reading acquisition, development and pedagogy. Research shows that teachers often perform poorly on measures of reading-related knowledge, often cited as one explanation for a gap between reading research and classroom…

This article illustrates how two teachers, a general educator and a special educator, used an interactive process in planning an interdisciplinary science unit for an inclusive Kindergarten classroom and how they addressed Universal Design for Learning (UDL) components. This planning process included capitalizing on each teacher's knowledge and…

There is a growing body of research documenting the impact of traumatic stress on child development, which has resulted in a call to action for trauma-informed practices as a priority, yet implementation within schools and training for educators is lacking (American Academy of Physicians,…
