The study investigated the influence of a connected learning approach for explicit nature of science (NOS) instruction and explicit argumentation instruction, in comparison with a non-connected approach, on students' NOS conceptions and argumentation skills. Participants comprised 42 students enrolled in two sections of grade 10 that were randomly…

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely applied as an alternative to improve learning outcomes, but it is still little studied in the context of the probability theory course. This study described how implementing the PBL model improves students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills in probability theory course and evaluates its…

This research aims to build economic research skills and stimulate students' interest in the local economy through data-based undergraduate research in entry-level economics courses. The authors developed two assignments and one student survey assessing students' learning outcomes and implemented them in two introductory-level classes from fall…

An important course in the computer science discipline is 'Data Structures and Algorithms' (DSA). "The coursework" lays emphasis on experiential learning for building students' programming and algorithmic reasoning abilities. Teachers set up a repertoire of formative programming exercises to engage students with different programmatic…

This quasi-experimental study was designed to investigate the initial efficacy of a fraction-vocabulary intervention for Grade 4 students with mathematics difficulty (MD) and to explore its impact on relevant fraction competencies. Thirty-three students were assigned to either the intervention condition (n = 16) or a business-as-usual comparison…

Because teachers' instructional practices are fundamental to the development of scientific reasoning ability, it is important that teachers become proficient in scientific reasoning. With such a premise, the study examined the scientific reasoning ability of teacher educators, schoolteachers, and prospective teachers in a province in Ethiopia. The…

This paper shares findings drawn from data generated over a period of five years on self-reported reading skills, habits, and dispositions of pre-service and in-service K-12 teachers (primarily middle and high school) across content areas (N = 854). Using latent cluster analyses, we created a Teacher Reader Profile Type (TRPT) model that…

In an era where the success of our schools is determined by standardized examinations, it is critical to allow students to utilize their creativity and the power of technology to enhance vital skills and learn in innovative ways. In today's fast-paced technological environment, we are on the verge of a technology revolution that will modify and…

Inspired by Psychology of Working Theory (PWT), our aim in this study was to investigate vocational guidance and career counselling specialists' perceptions of decent work and of the resources that promote access to decent work by using qualitative methods analyses. With this objective, 17 Swiss professionals were interviewed. First, content…

The present study aims to inspect the interplay between language (Turkish) comprehension/learning (LCL) and mathematics comprehension/learning (MCL). We utilized a mixed-methods exploratory research design to understand the mechanism between LCL and MCL. First, we used an analytic rubric to score a researcher-developed achievement battery…

Research Findings: This study examined age-based developmental trajectories of four key number sense (NS) skills within an accelerated longitudinal design. Using data from 408 preschoolers, ages 45 to 68 months, linear and latent basis growth curves were evaluated. Results indicated growth across NS skills was best represented as nonlinear for all…

This study aims at identifying forms of participation and collaboration through RADEC learning and the influencing factors. The subject of this study comprised 32 students (18 males and 14 females) attending an elementary school in Bandung city. Case study with a qualitative approach was employed as the method of the study by utilizing instruments…

Visual motor integration (VMI) is considered a key predictor of adaptive functioning in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, information regarding the VMI characteristics of children with ASD is scarce because existing assessment methods have focused on outcome measures while neglecting process measures due to the high failure…

This study assessed whether trunk flexor and extensor strength were predictors of time to stability (TTS) and center of pressure (CoP) during hop and hold tasks in children. Seventeen boys (age, 10.1 ± 1.6 years; height, 1.45 ± 0.11 m; mass, 26.7 ± 7.83 kg) undertook isokinetic strength assessments of concentric and eccentric trunk…

In this manuscript, I argue that narratives of self-care for educators in the midst of pandemic teaching are a form of gaslighting, supported and exacerbated by a neoliberal school system that reinforces individualist, White-normed conceptions of teaching and learning. To make this argument, I use several excerpts from practicing teachers' writing…
