Oral diseases present higher prevalence in people with mental disorders, which makes dental care a possible means for screening and referral to mental health specialized care. Because some dental conditions can be caused by or associated with mental disorders, dentists can identify patients' mental health care needs. However, they have shown low…

This study examined a 6-week intervention in which fourth grade students either played fluency games or used pictorial flashcards to develop fluency with their basic multiplication facts. Students who played fluency games showed more growth than the pictorial flashcards, but an analysis of variance showed that there was no statistically…

This study aims to assess the impacts of different components of career competencies and career commitment on the career success of young graduates in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as to understand how these individuals construct their careers in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. Data were collected from 407 graduates…

Recent technologies, like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), have revolutionised education. Whereas AR brings the content to life in the real world, VR makes it completely digital, and MR is a blend of both the physical and virtual worlds. This paper discusses how virtual technology could be used in higher…

Many children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities benefit from augmentative and alternative communication strategies (AAC) to increase their communicative competency. Furthermore, caregiver-implemented AAC interventions are an effective and efficient strategy to improve communication outcomes. We reviewed the caregiver-implemented…

Interprofessional education (IPE) has an added value in interpreting training since it improves the collaboration between different professional groups, by constructing common ground and raising awareness of the needs, role boundaries and interactional goals of both professions. Although the value of IPE is acknowledged in interpreting studies,…

The rapid adoption and evolution of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and Gemini have impacted marketing education and practice. This paper introduces a prompt engineering assignment that utilizes generative AI to build critical thinking skills through the development of keyword research strategies, customer profiles, and…

In recent years, there has been an increase in the integration of socioscientific issues (SSI) into educational practices, which are recognized for enhancing higher-order thinking, scientific literacy, ethical considerations, and civic engagement. SSI teaching equips students to tackle global challenges, although they are complex challenges for…

Discovery-based learning is characterized by a learning environment where students are not passive observers but actively construct new knowledge, which is expected to contribute to their cognitive development. Since it is desirable for students to reflect on their physical actions during this process and considering the positive effects of using…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reflections that arise during the implementation of mathematical modeling activities with third-grade primary school students. To achieve this goal, a case study methodology was employed. The study consisted of 9 third-grade students (average age 8), selected through purposive sampling from a public…

Background: High working memory capacity is associated with improved mathematical problem-solving skills. A leading theory about why working memory enhances problem-solving suggests that capable problem solvers might offload information from their working memory for later use. Aims: This study examined whether the ability to offload information…

Language arts and literacy curricula around the world have been advocating for the teaching and learning of literature in multiple forms. However, apparently in much of classroom practice, little attention has been given to distinguishing the literary distinctiveness of multiple forms of ostensibly the same story. Developing an appreciation of the…

Physical activity (PA) is well-documented to benefit students' executive function (EF) and academic performance. However, prevailing research has predominantly focused on domain-general EF (across academic domains) while overlooking domain-specific EF (within specific subjects). To address this gap, this opinion article proposes an integrative…

This study explores how working with problem-based cases as a mediating tool may support student teachers in bridging the gap between theory and practice, while also fostering their research literacy. The intervention was carried out over two years in a compulsory 15 ECTS pedagogy course within a Norwegian integrated master's program in teacher…

NMR prediction using ChemDoodle, NMR calculation with Gaussian, and hands-on data collection using a benchtop NMR spectrometer were explored to assess their synergistic capacity in teaching NMR to organic chemistry students. Nine molecules representing functional groups commonly encountered in undergraduate organic chemistry were selected. Spectra…
