This article describes a study of 149 preservice chemistry teachers' misconceptions of concepts related to a reduction-oxidation reaction. A mixed-method approach was used to obtain data through the ROXCI (Redox Concept Inventory) instrument and interviews. Result indicated that the highest misconceptions were for item number 10 (4.03% or only 6…

This paper examines the function of 'expertise' in mediating the student-supervisor relationship in Higher Degree Research (HDR). Prevailing conceptualisations of expertise generally translate as "disciplinary acumen" and reference the supervisor's specialist disciplinary and methodological knowledge. Beyond establishing the disciplinary…

This article will answer two questions: What are the characteristics of knowledge applied and produced within the framework of social pedagogy? And how are theory and practice articulated in the production and application of social pedagogical knowledge? To this end, the article first presents some of the different types of knowledge existing in…

Children's story experiences are foundational to their social, emotional, and communication development. Viewed through a sociocultural lens, variability in the ways children and teachers interact during stories across diverse learning contexts is expected. This article explores the social and cultural knowledge demonstrated by children of…

We examined the association between financial knowledge overconfidence and the perception of emergency fund needs using the 2016 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) dataset. Only 28% of respondents reported a perceived amount of emergency funds needed that would cover at least three months of estimated spending. We conducted an OLS regression…

This paper presents the findings from a qualitative study exploring students' perceptions of what constitutes technological knowledge. Technological knowledge dimensions from previous literature do not seem to be student-led, but rather suggested by the authors. It is therefore important to incorporate student views in order to create a more…

This study documents the development of an assessment (a multiple-choice test with free text rationale) built into an academic skills module over a 2 year period. Initially introduced as a credit bearing assessment to promote student engagement, disappointing results in the first year prompted a further intervention in year 2 with an additional…

This article describes research on the use of a differentiated approach in assessing students' academic achievements during mathematics lessons. The study used theoretical and empirical research methods. In particular, normative documents and scholarly literature were reviewed, and in 2021, the study conducted a survey of online mathematics…

This theoretical piece discusses the concept of a "teacher learning progression" in an attempt to integrate teacher learning and assessment. From the authors' perspective, the main features of the "teacher learning progression" are the longitudinal understanding of teacher knowledge and practice, and the opportunity to align…

In this paper, I propose an analysis of the structure of Clairaut's "Éléments de Géométrie" (1741), a book presenting geometrical knowledge organized around problems, with rich metadiscourse connecting problems and other elements of mathematical content. This analysis is inspired both by the "Series of problems at the crossroad of…

The study aims to examine Malaysian and Indonesian undergraduate students' sustainability knowledge and sustainable attitudes and the impact on their sustainability intention and sustainable behaviour.

Low-skilled adults in literacy in English are those with skills insufficient to complete tasks requiring comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences. Low-skilled adults in numeracy in English are those who would have difficulty making calculations with whole numbers and percentages, estimating numbers or…

This study applies Harvey and Green's (1993) model of quality to scholarly knowledge production. Although studies of quality in higher education have been commonplace for decades, there is a gap in understanding quality in terms of research production from stakeholders' perspectives. This study begins to fill that gap through a…

This longitudinal study examines the relationship between students' knowledge-in-use performance and their performance on third-party designed summative tests within a coherent and equitable learning environment. Focusing on third-grade students across three consecutive project-based learning (PBL) units aligned with the Next Generation Science…
