However, first-year students may be particularly receptive to prevention efforts. Considering self-perception, social norming, and behavioral choice theories,…

Background: Educational robots are regarded as effective learning tools in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, and educational robotics competitions have become highly popular. Objectives: This study investigated the effects of participation in an educational robotics competition, the World Robot Olympiad, from the…

Recently, the importance of statistical literacy has been stressed, and three central concepts in statistical literacy are the measures of central tendency: mean, median, and mode. This study explores aspects of statistical literacy expressed by 12-13-year-old students, focusing on mean, median, and mode. Their responses were analysed using a…

Adolescence is a vital stage of human development, characterized by significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. During this period, adolescents face numerous challenges, including academic stress, mental health issues, social pressures, and identity formation. Teachers play a significant role in shaping students' academic and personal…

Mangrove forests play a crucial ecological role in coastal protection, biodiversity maintenance, and carbon sequestration. However, their sustainability is increasingly threatened by human activities and environmental degradation. This study aims to investigate the impact of community ecological intelligence (CEI) on the long-term survival of…

Background: The impact of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be far-reaching for families. Research has shown that neurotypical (NT) siblings can experience negative and positive implications of ASD in their lives. However, researchers have not fully captured the factors associated with successful adaptation to the range of experiences,…

This paper explores multiple conceptualisations of interculturality situated within an Ecuadorian Amazonian Kichwa indigenous territory expressed through local discourses. Considering Amerindian perspectivism I analyse three discursive moments occurring within this territory. The first, is a community elder's narrative constructing a distinctive…

Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) offer a collaborative and structured environment for professional development, enabling educators to build their capacity to incorporate service-learning into their teaching practices. This study examines the initial impact of a FLC for institutional awareness and implementation of service-learning at Slippery…

Critical consciousness (CC) is a robust framework to understand how adolescents navigate inequitable societies and engage in issues meaningful to them. This qualitative study explores how CC unfolds among adolescents in Germany, a relatively understudied context. Participants were 16 adolescents (M[subscript age] = 16.06 years, SD = 1.23, range =…

The aim of the study is to reveal the relationships between prospective teachers' awareness of reducing ecological footprint, their sustainable consumption behaviours and their behaviours towards sustainable environmental education by using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). In the study, a cross-sectional survey model was adopted, and the…

Children learn the cardinalities of the first numbers one, two, three and four before they learn how counting tracks cardinality for all numbers. It may be that when children start to understand counting, they also discover how numbers relate to one another in a structured number system. Do children who understand that the cardinality of a set is…
