High digital literacy is significantly needed by English teachers in the trend of industrial revolution 4.0 to promote a better quality of English teaching and learning. However, a significant number of English teachers, as well as pre-service teachers, still had low digital literacy scale and they were not ready to implement digital technologies…

This article describes a project focused on identifying science instructors' conceptions of science literacy and using these conceptions to develop a brief science literacy student self-assessment (SCILIT). We present the rationale and process we used to elicit instructors' conceptions of science literacy, crafted in a meaningful way with input by…

The overarching goal of this literature review is to improve the understanding of the importance of oral language to critical emergent literacy skills and explore available assessment measures for use within the classroom. An overview of the components of language (i.e., content, form, and use) is provided. Measures of oral language gleaned from a…

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyse how to adapt teaching and learning methodologies to new generations of digital natives to promote their commitment to sustainable development. The research explores the existence of a relationship between digital natives' characteristics, individual dynamic capabilities and their commitment to…

The debate over the science of reading has focused primarily on decoding (i.e., connecting letters and sounds to read words) and whether to use phonics to teach it. However, research on reading has included much more than decoding. Language comprehension, which allows readers to derive meaning from text, is an equally critical component of…

In combating pandemics, more can be gained by changing citizens' behaviours than by relying solely on the medical route. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, the struggle to contain the outbreak and push back new infection figures will ultimately be won by training citizens how to avoid creating secondary transmission chains. The COVID-19 pandemic…

Since it has been well established that students? learning and achievements depend hugely on teachers? ability and competency, this study was aimed at investigating the issues of computer literacy and mathematics competency in human resource development among pre-service teachers. Two test instruments, the mathematics competency test (MCT) and the…

While most of the outcomes of the current COVID-19 pandemic are not good, occasionally one can identify a positive outcome from even the worst situations. The Coronavirus outbreak has provided a special opportunity to get a pulse on how well the society understands science and mathematics processes. Social media amplifies the voice of citizens…

Learning through designing digital games has recently emerged as a potential approach for school learners to boost their literacy development and learning in and across disciplines. However, existing knowledge on this relatively new approach is still fragmented, and little is known about its implementation features, associated learning…

Digital skills are thought to be a key competence of the twenty-first century. With the rapid growth of internet and communication tool (ICT) usage among both students and teachers, cooperative (co-op) education programmes, like other educational institutions, face the challenge of integrating and supporting digital skill development. However,…

Despite the importance of scientific inquiry in science education, research has shown that pre-service teachers have deficiencies in terms of knowledge and skills. This study aimed to improve pre-service teachers' science process skills and views about scientific inquiry through inquiry-based activities. This study was carried out with one group…

Several studies have demonstrated the role of narrative competence in predicting later academic achievement, but only a few authors tried to highlight exact relationships between the different aspects of these two complex domains. The main aim of the present work was to investigate this association considering the micro- and macrostructural levels…

Over the last few decades, there has been a shift in the classroom from lecture-based to active learning settings with the argument that students retain more information when they are involved in the learning process. This correlation is even stronger when the active learning setting incorporates a real-world or personal connection. Using active…

Two studies, one of middle school students and the other of high school students, demonstrated that students who were labeled as 'struggling' in the area of literacy saw themselves quite differently when their voices were heard. When these labeled students were viewed through a strengths lens rather than a deficits one, competent literacy skills…

The present study aims to examine the media literacy and personality traits of physical education and sports students according to certain demographic variables. 197 volunteering students of 80 females and 117 males who studied at Sakarya University Faculty of Sports Sciences and Bartin University Physical Education and Sports College in 2016-2017…
