This study explores accessibility barriers in higher education (HE), by centering the voices of 50 disabled students. Drawing on the frameworks of critical disability studies (CDS) and in particular disability justice, we argue that access without belonging is not enough; disabled students need to be fully included in institutional life. Weaving…

Despite extensive research on technology's potential to enhance teaching, large-scale studies often report mixed or negative impacts of technology use at school on student learning achievements. This ambiguity is often attributed to previous large-scale studies focusing more on the frequency rather than the quality of technology integration in the…

The greenhouse effect poses a significant environmental challenge to humanity today. Research shows that many students lack adequate knowledge about this phenomenon. To address this issue, we have developed educational materials that utilize various instructional approaches to improve primary school students' understanding and attitudes toward the…

The quality of learning must be continuously improved, even during the pandemic. The demand is that students can study well and improve their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills.
