Virtual reality (VR) training programs have seen substantial growth due to their ability to improve trainee learning outcomes. Despite this, there is a noticeable gap in the availability of conceptual frameworks that incorporate social learning theories as a basis for creating VR-based safety training programs. This research aims to address this…

Pre-service teachers (PSTs) often encounter challenges grasping the conceptual understanding of fractions, which can affect their readiness to teach this topic. This study investigates a novel approach to enhancing PSTs' comprehension of fractions by focusing on the fraction-as-a-measure meaning within a measurement context. Through a modified…

Recently, there has been a surge in developing curricula and tools that integrate computing (C) into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. These environments foster authentic problem-solving while facilitating students' concurrent learning of STEM+C content. In our study, we analyzed students' behaviors as they worked in…

Background: Serious games (SGs) have been increasingly utilised in various domains of education and training. These SGs are a compelling and impactful pedagogical tool that have demonstrated the potential to transform users' perspectives in a multitude of fields, including music. Objectives: This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR)…

Introduction: The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities establishes that the support to independent living should be community-based and under the choice and control of each person. This study compares the assessment of support practices by people with intellectual disabilities receiving support versus support staff and by people…

Executive functions (EF) are crucial to regulating learning and are predictors of emerging mathematics. However, interventions that leverage EF to improve mathematics remain poorly understood. 193 four-year-olds (mean age = 3 years; 11 months pre-intervention; 111 female, 69% White) were assessed 5 months apart, with 103 children randomised to an…

In contemporary music education, innovative technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools, play a crucial role. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of AI-based tools in enhancing students' success and creativity. The study involved 158 students from a leading music institution, who were divided into…

This study aims to explore the relations of phonological awareness and rapid naming with efficient word reading. Our work builds on the strong evidence base of associations between phonological awareness, rapid naming, orthographic knowledge, and efficient word reading. Specifically, we tested a pathway linking phonological awareness to…

Noting the popular psychology embrace of "self-care," in this study, we sought to assess the relationship between self-care behaviors and symptoms of depression and anxiety in school psychology graduate students. Participants were recruited from the National Association of School Psychology (NASP) approved graduate training programs. A…

Early intervention includes approaches to responding to young children may profit from targeted services. This study aims to synthesize recent evaluations of intervention programs of Big Math for Little Kids, Building Blocks, and Prekindergarten Mathematics Intervention Program in preschool and kindergarten children to determine the effectiveness…

The aim of this qualitative research is to describe the thinking process as a profile of students' mathematical computational thinking (CT) skills in terms of CT attitudes. The subjects in this study were 66 junior high school students in grade IX. There were three students taken by purposive sampling based on high, medium, and low CT attitude.…

Background: Problem-solving ability is an important skill for students to develop in the 21st century. Many previous studies have focused on the impact of diverse digital educational games on problem-solving ability. However, there is inconsistency in the findings, with some studies reporting positive effects of digital game-based learning (DGBL)…

This study aimed to understand the motor competence (MC) level of Czech school-age children determined using the product-oriented Bruininks--Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (second edition) and to analyze the gender and age differences. The MC level in n = 637 children aged 6.0--11.0 years (46.6% girls) was evaluated using total motor…

The purpose of this position paper is to raise awareness of intriguing interdisciplinary intersections among physical activity, motor learning/development, creativity, and cognition. A major intersection is the potential of physical activity that involves the effortful learning of novel and/or complex movement actions to elicit cognitive…

Background/purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of the dynamic assessment (DA) Portfolio model for language learning in higher education. This study was conducted in the Indonesian Syntax classroom at Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa). Materials/methods: The learning topics selected in this study were syntactic…
