Mathematics is, universally, considered the heartbeat of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematical (STEM) education. Accordingly, the learners must be equipped with strong mathematical proficiency very early in life. This behoves mathematics practitioners to use various impactful pedagogical strategies. The bigger action research from…

This paper explores how school-built factors and organisational dimensions contribute to bodily exposure, degrading treatment and bullying in school changing rooms. The findings in this study stem from an ethnographic research project exploring the relations between school bullying and the institutional context of schooling. The project focuses on…

This study explores the development of intercultural competence through the lived experience of an Indonesian doctoral Muslim student pursuing higher education in Australia. We employ a narrative inquiry case study approach; the research delves into the participants' personal and academic journeys, examining how intercultural interactions in a…

Blended massive open online courses (bMOOCs) have emerged as a potential educational model that combines conventional in-person instruction with online learning. The investigation into students' level of interaction in bMOOCs is significant to the effective implementation of bMOOCs in higher education. This study investigates the perceived level…

Today's classrooms are more linguistically diverse than ever, but many educators still feel underprepared to support multilingual learners in accessing grade-level academic content. Without intentional scaffolding, these students miss opportunities to thrive alongside their peers. Through nine scaffolded approaches--instructional, linguistic,…

This study aimed to investigate how mathematics teachers' feedback on homework is perceived from both teacher and student perspectives. A phenomenological research design was employed, involving six elementary school mathematics teachers and six middle school students from a provincial center in Eastern Anatolia. Data were collected through online…

Objective: The association between perceived stress (PS) and ADHD symptoms in adulthood is well established, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study employed a genetically informative design to investigate the roles of gene-environment (GE) correlation and gene-environment interaction (G×E) in explaining this association. Three…

This paper illustrates educators' facilitation of literacy experiences involving children producing multimodal texts using digital and non-digital resources. Given the increasing attention to multimodality in literacy education and a turn to sociomaterial paradigms in literacy education research, our study contributes to an understanding of how…

The current study examines the role of classroom quality in predicting learning behaviours among preschoolers experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage and developmental concerns (N[subscript children] = 267, N[subscript educators] = 97). All children were identified with developmental concerns in one or more areas (language, cognition, and/or…

As global interest in quantum mechanics grows, its inherent complexities continue to pose challenges for effective instruction. This study investigates the impact of Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorials (QuILTs) on enhancing conceptual understanding of quantum mechanics among preservice physics teachers in Korea. The QuILTs, consisting of…

Home math interventions often incorporate informational priming--explicit prompts emphasizing parental math input. While effective in increasing math talk, its impact on child outcome is mixed. This study examined how informational priming shapes the content and dynamic of math interactions. In year 2023, 122 Chinese parent-child dyads…

This study investigated the effectiveness of online forum-based collaborative learning versus traditional instructional methods for vocabulary acquisition among English as a foreign language learners. Twenty-one first-year translation and interpreting students participated in a comparative study examining two distinct vocabulary teaching…

Intercultural contact (IC), affording interactions between individuals from different cultures, should be an accessible goal in promoting intercultural (communicative) competence (ICC) in additional language learning context. IC happened either directly through in-person interaction or indirectly through exposure to cultural elements such as…

Language tutor identity and language assessment literacy shape teaching practice. Tutors' roles are especially critical in informal, community-based contexts, where they assist learners in one-on-one settings "without" fixed curricular or assessments. While previous studies have examined tutor identity in these contexts from a…

Purpose: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of scholarly literature on the educational impacts of the metaverse, systematically identifying emerging themes, challenges and implications for metaverse education. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses systematic literature review techniques using the Scopus database to investigate…
