Recidivism rates across the world remain high, and one of the key reasons for this situation is that people leaving the prison system have great difficulty in securing employment. Addressing this issue must be explored from a broad perspective, but one potential career option that is under-explored is self-employment, with few entrepreneurship…

Transitional kindergarten (TK) is rapidly expanding to become a universal program in California. This data snapshot highlights the inconsistent awareness that parents currently have about TK, including how they describe it, who it is for, and how they receive information about TK. The variation in parents' experiences aligns with previous findings…

This study aims to explore the significant variables affecting online knowledge-sharing and the hierarchical structure, from the perspective of online learners. To comprehensively discuss the relationship between these variables, binary logit regression and interpretative structural model (ISM) was used. Based on literature analysis, the data of…

Personalised learning (PL) is learning in which the stage of learning and the instructional approach are optimised for the needs of each learner. The concept of PL allows e-learning design to shift from a 'one size fits all' approach to an adaptive and student-centred approach. This paper aims to provide a literature review of PL based on: the PL…

Pan and Wollack (PW) proposed a machine learning method to detect compromised items. We extend the work of PW to an approach detecting compromised items and examinees with item preknowledge simultaneously and draw on ideas in ensemble learning to relax several limitations in the work of PW. The suggested approach also provides a confidence score,…

Teachers need knowledge about operant conditioning as an important way to prevent student misbehavior. In an experiment with 181 student teachers, we investigated how the acquisition of conceptual knowledge about operant conditioning can be promoted through case comparisons. Our results showed that case comparison effectively supported the…

The United States needs to produce more graduates with the required 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and cross-cultural awareness to remain a top competitor in a global marketplace. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, commonly referred to as STEM, is a transdisciplinary approach to…

Even though genetics has been implemented in biology curricula at secondary schools for decades, reports repeatedly indicate that students still hold various misconceptions about this topic. To successfully target these misconceptions, we need to know their nature and origin. We aimed to investigate these properties in the Czech educational system…

A review of studies analyzing the statistical knowledge of primary schoolchildren (6-12 years old) is carried out. Based on a review in JCR/SSCI, Scopus, Eric, Google Scholar, Science Direct, World Scientific, Springer, and Wiley Online library, 18 articles (2003-2021) have been identified and analyzed based on two objectives: (1) to identify the…

Using the educational knowledge graph to express the logical characteristics of knowledge, this paper takes project-driven learning in the teaching of "Information Technology in Secondary Schools" as an example and studies the group cooperative teaching mode based on the educational knowledge graph. The relationship between knowledge…

Due to the increasing number of cyber incidents and overwhelming skills shortage, it is required to evaluate the knowledge gap between cyber security education and industrial needs. As such, the objective of this study is to identify the knowledge gaps in cyber security graduates who join the cyber security workforce. We designed and performed an…

Contribution: This study adds to the literature by investigating the association of student behavioral and cognitive engagement with video content and their learning. This study addresses the lack of feedback on how students engage with the video content during the asynchronous learning mode. Background: Higher education rapidly integrates various…

The aim of this study was to explore how pre- and in-service teachers (N = 346) evaluate different learning strategies for six scenarios, and how they justify their answers. Results showed that teachers mostly evaluate strategies found to be effective in previous empirical studies as more effective and they can provide proper scientific…

This paper highlights how immersive educational experiences can help students understand the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their relation to leadership. The paper provides an example of how a carefully designed faculty-led program using original research can cultivate cross-cultural competencies and build student…

This research focuses on using digital photography to record observations of young children. The observations discussed are young children engaging with music as a communicative language. Digital media has become an inexpensive method to collect research data to communicate children's activities in early learning settings. Like all technologies,…
