The importance of constructing mathematical arguments and critiquing the reasoning of others has been emphasized as a key component for deep mathematical understanding. As a result, acknowledging proof as an essential tool to comprehend mathematics at all grade levels has been suggested by many researchers as well as reform initiatives. To do so,…

The study aimed at exploring the relationship between social media disorder and academic procrastination, and to thereby investigate the mediating effects of intrusive thinking and fatigue.

Culture-based mathematics learning (C-bMLI) has emerged as a promising approach to improving students' mathematical skills, yet previous research presents inconsistent findings regarding its efficacy compared to conventional methods. To address this gap, a meta-analytic study is needed to consolidate and present the latest insights regarding the…

In this paper, we investigated the impact of an online classroom-based reading assessment on implementing practices in reading instruction among 30 EFL learners in an intermediate reading course at a public university in East Java, Indonesia. Our study aimed to develop an online classroom-based reading assessment and evaluate its efficacy in…

There is an urgent need for improved school-based mental health services to address students' increasing mental health needs. School nurses are often at the frontlines of youth mental health, but report feeling unprepared to manage student needs due to limited training. We conducted a rapid review to identify evidence-based mental health…

Background: Research on the grammatical characteristics of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) across languages has challenged accounts about the nature of DLD. Studies of the characteristics of DLD in different languages can reveal which components of DLD emerge irrespective of language and which components are language specific.…

This study investigates the impact of an AI-enabled Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) program on the intercultural competence of Chinese English majors. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of pre-test and post-test data with qualitative insights from participant interviews. Participants…

Running two separate two-stage randomized trials, we implement and test three variants of a small group instruction intervention aimed at improving mathematics competencies for the 20% lowest achievers in mathematics in grades 2 and 8 in Danish public schools. We calculate immediate impacts on math competencies as well as impacts in the medium…

This quantitative study aims to examine the relationship between EFL teachers' professional development (PD) and their self-efficacy in online education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
