Children who engage in aggressive behaviors are at heightened risk of being involved in the justice system, committing serious offenses, and becoming chronic offenders. The Stop Now And Plan (SNAP) program was designed as an early intervention to address several mechanisms underlying the development of conduct problems, including emotion…

Background: ChatGPT, an AI-based chatbot, supports learning by accurately interpreting and responding to user inputs. Despite its potential, few empirical studies have examined its influence on college students' mathematical problem-solving processes. Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a ChatGPT-facilitated scaffolding to investigate its…

Physics, even though it is guided by simple principles, tends for many topics to be obscured in the mathematics redundancy. MATLAB®, as interactive software for computer algebra, has already had an important impact on the way physics is taught by educators. It has also had a substantial impact on the way research is performed by students to…

This study explores the current status of computational thinking (CT) skills among first-year university students and examines whether any differences exist across genders, geographic backgrounds and academic disciplines with programming learning experience given the growing interest in computational thinking (CT) in recent years. It also…

Adaptive behavior, self-determination, and health are important areas of body functions and activities identified by autistic adults as priorities for research. Past research has suggested that autistic adults have high support needs in adaptive behavior and self-determination, and have poor physical and mental health outcomes. This study included…

Socioeconomic expropriations (Landnahme) have a direct impact on democracy and the processes of struggle of the working class, precisely because they impose a certain common sense and normalization of social relations, which, according to Marx and Engels, act in the "taking" of social consciousness. In this line, we seek to discuss the…

In professional education, cultivating students' abilities in communication, cooperation, reflection, and problem solving is a crucial objective. Taking nursing student training as an example, cooperative learning involves collectively discussing the evaluation and management of first aid cases. This aims to help students comprehend their roles…

In this study, we developed an online problem-based learning (PBL) module for the Impulsive Force subtopic of Physics Form Four and studied its perceived usability among Physics trainee teachers. The research design of this study is developmental research and a quantitative study using a survey approach. The module was developed according to five…

Embedding physics problems in real-world settings--here termed contextualized physics problems (CPPs)--is widely believed to foster students' interest, motivation, and learning. However, firm evidence for this claim remains scarce. To explore this issue, we surveyed 868 secondary students and 154 teachers to examine their attitudes toward CPP and…

The high and ever-rising cost of college textbooks is a significant financial burden for students and their families, hindering access to essential learning materials and affecting academic performance and retention rates. To address these issues, instructors and universities are exploring cost-control methods such as free source materials, Open…

Racial disproportionality in special education and school discipline remains a persistent social justice issue in the U.S. education system. Drawing from a 4-year-long school-community-university partnership within an Anishinaabe Band of Ojibwe in northern Wisconsin, we propose a theoretical and practical framework called "decolonizing…

This study aimed to design, develop, and validate the RSiSTEM framework, a robotics-based simulation learning model intended to foster students' problem-solving and systems thinking competencies within STEM education. The research followed a two-phase developmental design. In Phase 1, the framework was constructed through a systematic synthesis of…

Society is currently experiencing a wave of misinformation and disinformation spread through social media and other means. Widespread false information threatens our social relationships and our democracy. A shift toward inquiry learning in PreK-12 education can both improve student learning in general and teach students to assess the validity of…

While access to digital innovations for creative learning in the Digital Age is pivotal, the preparedness of educational systems to meet children's learning digitally should there be a reemergence of a pandemic on the scale witnessed in 2019 remains unanswered by Learning Scientists. Using constructionist theory, the study examined the…

Working solutions to problems are not definitive end points. As a result, code that is technically correct can still be treated as needing revising -- a practice in computer programming known as refactoring. We document how late elementary to middle school students and their undergraduate instructors weigh the possibility of refactoring working…
