The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the experiences of type 1 diabetics in physical education classes. In this study, we interviewed young type 1 diabetic adults and asked them to reflect on their school-based physical education experiences. An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach was adopted to guide data…

This article has both theoretical and practical purposes. It starts with a project-orientated and axiological identification between education for sustainable development and global citizenship education. It then recalls the importance of the sense of responsibility in constructing identity and knowledge. To best construct a sense of…

This paper develops the concept of "aesthetic knowing," its significance in perceiving and participating in ecologies writ large, and challenges that arise in engaging it during a time of ecological crises. I define aesthetic knowing as "perception of the quality of relationship," and suggest it offers insight into how…

This study examines whether graduate students in STEM fields at an R1 institution understand copyright law. Thirty graduate students participated in semi-structured interviews related to copyright and ownership. This study revealed that these students often conflate issues around copyright and plagiarism and have little understanding of their own…

Argumentation is an indispensable part of scientific knowledge construction, and the inquiry laboratory is full of opportunities for argumentation. Yet, at primary schools, students learn science without any inducement to argumentation or inquiry. To fill this need, this study was aimed to develop pre-service primary teachers' understanding of and…

Objective: Vaping, initially a smoking cessation aid, is now a widespread recreational activity sometimes associated with perceived health concerns. This study explored attitudes, harm perceptions and cessation barriers in the context of participants' vaping behaviours, guided by the theoretical lens of fundamental social causes. Design and…

Fantasies of control, order, efficiency, and "a relatively unilinear notion of historical progress" are enmeshed in the collective imagination of industrialized societies in the Global North. These same ideals uphold settler white supremacy, cisheteropatriarchy, neo-colonialism, anti-Black racism, genocide, ecoism, land theft, and mass…

Medical sciences education emphasizes basic science learning as a prerequisite to clinical learning. Studies exploring relationships between achievement in the basic sciences and subsequent achievement in the clinical sciences generally suggest a significant positive relationship. Basic science knowledge and clinical experience are theorized to…

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education has been acknowledged that it could prepare students for the twenty-first-century workforce. Thus, pre-service teachers on the verge of entering the educational milieu are actively urged to incorporate it into their upcoming pedagogical classroom. Pre-service teachers' prospective…

The role of grammar in reading comprehension remains unresolved despite the relatively large number of studies in this line of research. Drawing on the (dis)advantages of applying grammatical knowledge to the reading process, the present study discusses some of the reasons for differing results reported by previous studies. It is argued that…

Rates of school bullying victimisation have been noted as high as 69% for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) yet there remains neither an anti-bullying programme specifically for use in special schools, nor a standardised definition of bullying. The most frequently used definition is not inclusive of SEND pupils'…

The primary purpose of this research was to determine the digital literacy proficiency perceptions of primary school teachers working in Eskisehir and compare them based on certain variables. The mixed method was used as a research method; the data were collected using the Digital Literacy Assessment Scale developed by Acar (2015) for quantitative…

Implementing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education in early childhood education has received increasing attention in recent years. STEM process skills developed during the early years have lifelong positive effects on young children. In this study, we developed the Children's STEM Habits of Mind Questionnaire (CSHMQ)…

In scientific literacy, knowledge integration (KI) is a scaffolding-based theory to assist students' scientific inquiry learning. To drive students to be self-directed, many courses have been developed based on KI framework. However, few efforts have been made to evaluate the outcome of students' learning under KI instruction. Moreover,…

Survey responses from 858 undergraduates were examined to determine the key factors affecting students' deep approach to learning at two public institutions. Principal component analysis was adopted to eliminate multicollinearity among factors and extract the key influencing factors. A robust multiple linear regression model was built to explore…
