A deep understanding of pelvic floor anatomy requires a three-dimensional visualization of the spatial relationships among pelvic neurovasculature, soft tissue structures, and bony landmarks, which are highly complex and difficult to comprehend solely through traditional teaching methods such as didactic lectures and anatomical dissection. This…

In this practical guide, educators learn 25 ready-to-use, research-based teaching strategies aligned to the science of reading to scaffold learning from grade-level texts for a range of readers to accelerate literacy achievement. These strategies can be used in whole- or small-group instruction before, during, and after reading to increase each…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to identify the impact of teaching science based on John Zahorek's model on the acquisition of scientific concepts among seventh-grade female students. Materials/methods. It was based on the quasi-experimental method. The study participants, comprising 58 seventh-grade students, were intentionally selected from…

Clinical practice is complex and requires a consistent assessment process to effectively navigate student evaluation. Nursing programs must ensure that assessment methods measure entry-to-practice competencies. A clear description of expectations and a consistent approach to the evaluation of student performance is required. A quality improvement…

Background: Teachers' professional development is a pivotal aspect of educational psychology. However, the lack of comprehensive examination into the interconnectedness of school climate, teachers' self-efficacy, and instructional practice impedes the design of targeted and impactful professional development initiatives for teachers. Therefore,…

Generative AI (GenAI) challenges assessment validity by enabling students to complete tasks without demonstrating genuine capability. In response to this challenge, institutions have developed and implemented various approaches that aim to communicate permissible AI use to students. Familiar examples include the 'traffic light' approach now…

The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy--many members of the public find themselves asking "what does it mean?", and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.…

This paper is focused on the collaborative work of two communities, one of teachers and one of researchers, during a teacher professional development program on the inquiry-based learning approach in mathematics, addressed to lower secondary school in-service mathematics teachers. We conceptualize the design of inquiry mathematics task as the…

This case study examines the development of a proof-of-concept (PoC) generative artificial intelligence (genAI) model inspired by OpenAI's ChatGPT®, implemented within the Office of Research Administration (ORA) at Emory University. Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) refers to AI models capable of producing human-like text. Specifically,…

In this article, I argue that a process approach which enables students to draft, discuss and revise then share and celebrate each other's compositions can support their writing development more effectively than the current near-exclusive use by English teachers in UK schools and colleges of the form of text modelling that requires students to…

Introduction: Anatomy is a core course taken by medical and dental surgery students in their preclinical year, serving as the foundation for patient care in clinical practice. Many preclinical students find anatomy challenging and abstract, highlighting the need for educators to adopt innovative teaching methods, such as utilizing 3D technologies…

Problem-solving (PS) is taught and practised in many higher education institutions across various disciplines. However, there is a lack of understanding of how to teach PS in a way that aligns with the specific principles and methods associated with its pedagogy. This study aimed to understand how tutors of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a…

While proof is often presented to mathematics undergraduates as a well-defined mathematical object, the proofs students encounter in different pedagogical contexts may bear salient differences. In this paper we draw on the work of Dawkins and Weber (2017) to explore variations in norms and values underlying a proof across different pedagogical…

Strategic planning is a key competency for business management education. This study designed a dual scaffold-oriented strategy planning board game based on cognitive scaffolding and peer scaffolding and combined it with a real-time checking mechanism using mobile technology. The 68 university students were divided into an experimental group for…

Despite abundant research on effective reading instruction, many teachers struggle to meet the diverse needs of their students, particularly those with dyslexia. Even though reading is an essential skill for academic success, according to the 2019 "Nation's Report Card" published by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP),…
