Curriculum design is a domain that infrequently forms a discrete element of initial teacher training, or continuing professional development for music teachers in English secondary schools. Classroom music teachers, teaching Key Stage 3 (KS3) learners (11-14-year olds), are, however, required to design their own curriculum. Teachers are…

In this paper we report on an aspect of a larger study and explore whether a framework for teacher STEM Capability Sets (SCS) enhanced teacher planning and the implementation of mathematics active STEM tasks. A case study approach was employed to understand how a classroom teacher used the digital resource, Gapminder, to teach a Year 5/6 cohort of…

Purpose: Combining an online and traditional mode of learning is a significant challenge for third world countries. To face this challenge, educational institutions around the world adopted the strategies of blended learning (BL). This research aims to determine the factors affecting readiness to diffuse BL in Pakistani higher education…

This study examines how preservice elementary mathematics teachers create patterns, write pattern problems, and prepare and apply lesson plans on this topic. In this context, five preservice elementary mathematics teachers who were in the final semester of their undergraduate education volunteered to participate in this research. The study was…

The purpose of this article is to examine Kindergarten through 5th-grade teachers' understanding of differentiated instruction and perception of their ability to implement differentiated instruction in their classrooms. Differentiated instruction is a critical factor for children's success. Thirty-one K-5 teachers from the state of Georgia…

The educational benefits of internationalisation in higher education are of paramount importance for all students. Despite an increasing presence of best practice guides and internationalisation strategies, there appears to be a significant implementation gap in terms of lecturers' engagement with internationalisation in their teaching practice.…

Creative thinking plays a pivotal role in science, innovation and the arts, solidifying its significance in daily life problem solving as well as maintaining and fostering our well-being. Creative problem solving (CPS) and critical reasoning enables students to be challenged and to grasp complex problems and is defined as one's ability to generate…

This article reports on a study that explored eportfolio practice in Irish higher education. The aim of this research was to gain a landscape snapshot of eportfolio practice and technologies across Irish Higher Education Institutes (HEI) and to address a gap in the literature that there is little empirical evidence about how Irish HEIs engage and…

Despite its significant role in every level of education, the definition of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics movement, or STEM, has remained elusive, becoming so vaporous as to provide little meaning. As education organizations navigate the STEM institution, they must collectively make sense of its norms, goals, and practices.…

To help schools address the negative impacts of childhood trauma, Alaska released "Transforming Schools: A Framework for Trauma-Engaged Practice in Alaska" (Transforming Schools Framework) in 2019, as well as a suite of Trauma-Engaged Schools resources to support implementation of the framework.

Human rights education (HRE) is increasingly finding its way into social studies curriculum in the U.S. In this growing field, there is little research on the challenges facing schools in the instantiation of HRE in relation to citizenship education (CE). This case study explores how a U.S. school is approaching and adapting to the growing…

Contribution: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in engineering higher education is becoming increasingly important nowadays. This article contributes to the Scholarship of Integration by providing a comprehensive review of current research on AI integration in engineering higher education and presenting a pilot AI introductory module…

Explicitly attending to justice in science teaching and learning is long overdue. Here, we examined the professional teacher identity development of 13 science teachers as they collaborated in networked professional learning communities (PLCs) to implement and revise a culture-setting unit focused on the science of COVID and engaging in…

Problem posing, the process of formulating problems based on a given situation, is an essential practice in mathematics and other disciplines.
