Introduction: Peer health education programs for adolescents in schools and for adults in prison are effective at increasing health knowledge and improving leadership skills. However, there have been no peer health education programs in juvenile detention facilities despite proven benefit in similar environments. We created a pilot study to…

This explanatory sequential mixed-method study aims to investigate science teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) competencies and determines their TPACK indicators based on the TPACK-Deep framework. The participants were 136 science teachers (85 females and 51 males) from a small city where 232 science teachers work. Three…

This paper examines the perspectives of university teachers in Bangladesh regarding predatory journals, assesses their knowledge of the characteristics of such journals, investigates the factors that might influence their submission of papers to such journals, and explores their views on how universities can contribute to the identification of…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare and research introduces sophisticated diagnostic and treatment capabilities but also raises significant ethical challenges from development to deployment and evaluation, requiring comprehensive ethical training and interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure the responsible use of AI…

Short answer assessment is a vital component of science education, allowing evaluation of students' complex three-dimensional understanding. Large language models (LLMs) that possess human-like ability in linguistic tasks are increasingly popular in assisting human graders to reduce their workload. However, LLMs' limitations in domain knowledge…

The primary aim of this paper is to identify the knowledge and perceptions of the Gen Z Filipino students about the forms and ethics of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). It likewise describes their experiences in the use of said technologies. The Gen Z population is considered the most exposed to AI and IoT. This paper…

This investigation was performed to determine the impacts of the STEM approach in environmental education (EE) on environmental attitudes and knowledge levels and to examine student opinions on the STEM approach in EE. The investigation was implemented in a government school in Turkey in 12 weeks using a mixed method. A Quasi-experimental design…

When the revised and updated 2018 and 2024 science curricula are examined, it is seen that the integration of engineering, technology and mathematics disciplines into the teaching of science subjects is supported. The integration of these four disciplines is defined by the science-technology-engineering-mathematics (STEM or STEM) approach. As this…

In a pioneering effort, we tried to measure and explain Political Science (PS) students' perceptions of their discipline as science. We analyzed as dependent variables the single option answers to the question "Why does the word 'science' exist in the name of our discipline?" Those responses represent a range of perceptions from the most…

This study aims to develop and validate effective health educational management strategies to enhance sustainable sports participation among college students. Specifically, it seeks to (i) assess the current and desirable conditions of students' sports participation and identify supporting or limiting factors, (ii) formulate targeted strategies…

Autistic adults face various psychological and physical health conditions which often require ongoing medical attention. Despite a greater likelihood of health conditions, autistic adults face many systemic barriers in accessing healthcare services. It is important to identify facilitators to healthcare access and recognize the impact of…

Physics teacher identity encompasses teachers' beliefs and views toward being a physics teacher. Physics teacher identity is influenced by teachers' perspectives on physics teaching and learning. Previous studies on teacher identity in general suggest that the construct is complex and malleable. Studies further suggest that it influences…

Teachers' negative attitudes towards autistic students remain a major obstacle to their school inclusion. This exploratory study aims to investigate the mediating role of teacher's self-efficacy and knowledge of the relationship between a teacher's status (general education teachers "versus" special education ones) and attitudes towards…

This research is aimed at examining the effects of developing research competencies to enhance the current learning of student teachers at Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University. This study focuses on participants before, during, and after the implementation of the proposed model. The sample consists of 35 fourth-year students enrolled in the Bachelor…

Honey bee pollination of specialty crops is essential to agriculture and yet there are almost no university instructional programs to train the next generation of beekeepers. One reason for this lack of university investment in apiculture instruction is that there may not be enough students located at universities interested in the pursuit of…
