Mathematics determines whether students' study and work in STEM disciplines such as electrical and electronics. However, there is insufficient data to support this claim. It is also premature to assert that the effect of motivation and instruction factors in mathematics on students' achievement in electricals and electronics is equivocal.…

Critical research on data visualisations in education has so far mostly focused on the representation of numeric data in dashboards or graphs. Consequently, the question of how schools are made visible and (re)enacted through visual structures on data-mediated interfaces more broadly -- what we call Graphic Data Visualisations (GDV) -- has…

Genetics is a fundamental topic in Biology, yet its abstract nature presents challenges in the learning process. Effective teaching of genetics concepts requires appropriate instructional approaches to facilitate student understanding. The success of learning outcomes depends on various components, including teachers, students, learning…

Beginning in the first semester, it is important to affirm students' gender identities and also provide level-appropriate information about pronouns and gender-inclusive language, including the current cultural contexts. As students take advanced courses, incorporating topics that address gender diversity provides opportunities for them to develop…

Mathematics education researchers (MERs) use practices unique to the mathematics education discipline to conduct their work. MERs' practices, i.e., ways of being, interacting, and operating, define the field of mathematics education, are initially learned in doctoral preparation programs, and are encouraged and sanctioned by conferences and…

'Love of learning' is a phrase that appears frequently in school mission statements, among others with similar connotations. Using 'Love of learning' as a case, I employ comparative conceptual analysis to characterize the value underlying the phrase before reviewing the implications this holds for practice in schools that use the phrase in their…
