Dyslexia is one of the most common developmental disabilities; it is a disorder manifested by difficulty in learning to read despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and sociocultural opportunity. The current study focuses on the potential benefits of the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to support children…

This paper reports on a study of learners' use of immersive spatial diagrams to make arguments about three-dimensional geometric figures. Immersive spatial diagrams allow learners to use the movement of their bodies to control their point of view, while immersed in three-dimensional digital renderings. We present analysis of two pairs of…

This article describes how a teacher orchestrated a productive mathematics discussion to draw out mathematical knowledge and connect different areas of mathematics following a geometric sequences task. Whenever teachers succeed to engage their students in producing mathematics, it is advantageous for their moves to be analysed, discerned and…

Early grade education is basic and necessary for preparing students for their future education and life. Therefore, paying attention for early grade mathematics education has a multidirectional contribution to the quality of education in a country. This study investigated Ethiopian early grade mathematics curriculum organization in relation to its…

This study expands the scope of cognitive evaluation theory (CET) with flow theory by providing a potential explanation for the missing link between motivation and motivational outcomes of students in visual programming learning. It aims to investigate how parental roles impact young students' flow experience in learning from the parents' point of…

The goal of this study is to determine the willingness for participation and opinions of the high school students who learn German as a foreign language in the context of the student-centered activities carried out within the scope of a student-centered teaching approach lasting four weeks. The sample of the study consists of 20 students who…

Student affairs professionals are often called upon to act as first-responders to students experiencing trauma, leaving them exposed to secondary traumatic stress. In this study, I used phenomenological methods supported by an arts-based research exercise to explore the experiences and meaning making processes of student affairs professionals who…

The aim of this study is to encourage the development of pre-school teachers by raising their awareness about zerowaste and recycling activities. The need for this research is linked to the lack of prominence about the concept of zerowaste in pre-school programs in Turkey, and also the limited inclusion of opportunities for pre-school students to…

Improving literacy outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa is a central focus of national governments, donors and non-governmental organisations alike, as evidenced by the inclusion of literacy as a target in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4. Though significant international development funding has been devoted to teacher training in the…

The laboratory course is an excellent venue to apply content, practice inquiry, improve critical thinking, practice key clinical skills, and work with data. The use of inquiry-based course projects allows for students to propose open ended questions, form a hypothesis, design an experiment, collect data, analyze data, draw conclusion, and present…

Using unplugged coding activities to promote computational thinking (CT) among secondary learners has become increasingly popular. Benefits of using unplugged coding activities involve the cost-effective implementation, the ability to promote computer science concepts and self-efficacy in learning computer programming, and the engaging nature of…

Current research on teaching mathematics to students with intellectual disability (ID) has demonstrated that, given evidence-based instruction, these students can acquire a wide range of skills. However, very little research has been conducted in inclusive general education (GE) classrooms and no studies have utilized the GE teacher as the…

The paper presents a visual methods approach from a cross national methodological project that used digital visual technologies to examine young children's perspectives in father-child interactions. The approach combines capturing the dialectic with visual reflexivity. The notion of 'capturing the dialectic' specifically by analysing conflict to…

Visual supports are recommended in autism spectrum disorder clinical guidelines. They can reduce anxiety, increase predictability, support communication and improve participation. They are implemented regularly in schools, but evidence about home visual supports is limited. This article reports results of a scoping literature review, alongside…

We present a system that automatically generates deictic gestures for animated pedagogical agents (APAs). The system takes audio and text as input, which define what the APA has to say, and generates animated gestures based on a set of rules. The automatically generated gestures point to the exact locations of elements on a whiteboard nearby the…
