The prevalence of diseases stemming from poor nutrition emphasizes the importance of educating people about healthy eating habits. One approach to achieving this is through educational escape games, which embody the features of a situated learning environment. Utilized the situated learning theory as a theoretical and methodological framework, the…

Acquiring and retaining vocabulary is a cornerstone of mastering a new language, and digital tools are playing an increasingly significant role in this process. This study investigated the role of Quizlet, a digital flashcard application, as a self-regulated learning (SRL) tool in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among upper-intermediate English…

Background: Online video-based learning often leads to fatigue, which detracts from engagement and learning outcomes. Previous studies have examined monitoring mental states like attention through electroencephalography (EEG) headsets, but limitations such as high costs, discomfort, and limited scalability persist. Objectives: This study evaluates…

Background: Children with autism often face challenges in developing social-emotional skills, which are essential for their overall growth and social integration.

In Somalia, access to quality education has been severely weakened by decades of civil war, ongoing insecurity, and recurrent droughts and floods. Strengthening foundational learning through both formal and alternative pathways is critical, as out-of-school rates remain high -- 65 per cent at primary and 75 per cent at secondary. In 2024, working…

This study investigated the Conscious Control Curriculum (3Cs), an approach to teach…

This study delves into teacher candidates' (TCs) perspectives, particularly in secondary mathematics and science education. Through qualitative analysis of survey data and essays from 17 TCs across two institutions, including 9 STEM education major TCs (math and science TCs), and 8 non-STEM TCs, diverse attitudes towards AI integration emerge. Our…

Environmental education (EE) seeks to inspire individuals to adopt sustainable practices and foster a deeper awareness of environmental responsibility. Effective EE develops and enhances environmental knowledge, connectedness to nature (CN), and builds socially benefitting attributes that prepare individuals and communities to undertake positive…
