Although global education policies increasingly emphasise the importance of teachers' digital literacy, there is still limited understanding of how to effectively enhance their digital competencies, particularly within organisational contexts. This study analyses a sample of teachers from PISA 2022 (N = 68,054) using hierarchical linear regression…

This study investigated the role of domain-general cognitive processes, specifically inhibitory control, verbal working memory (WM), and nonverbal reasoning, on children's productive grammar skills, focusing on Turkish past tense (e.g. firçala-DI brush-PAST.3sg) and causative suffix (e.g. firçala-t-TI brush-CAUSE-PAST.3sg), representing the…

Purpose: In the present competing environment, it is essential to understand how some information technology (IT) organizations do well and outperform others. This paper aims to assess the impact of the learning disciplines proposed by Peter Senge (1990) on the performance of IT organizations. The study also aims to find the impact of…

This study investigates the relationship between teachers' global literacy (GL) skills and their digital citizenship (DC) levels, with a focus on the potential mediating or moderating role of sustainable development awareness (SDA). Using a quantitative relational survey model, we collected data from 307 teachers in four provinces of Turkey. The…

This paper is focused on the collaborative work of two communities, one of teachers and one of researchers, during a teacher professional development program on the inquiry-based learning approach in mathematics, addressed to lower secondary school in-service mathematics teachers. We conceptualize the design of inquiry mathematics task as the…

We are three members of a Special Interest Group (SIG) of teachers in Japan that has long been committed to writing and publishing for inclusive practitioner research about learner development.

The purpose of this study was to examine outcomes of a modified motor skill intervention for preschoolers, Successful Kinesthetic Instruction for Preschoolers, Gender-Equity. Participants (3-5 years of age) from an urban Head Start center were…

Promoting computational thinking (CT) integration in curricula requires well-prepared teachers with pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Existing research often uses pretest/posttest instruments or teacher reflections to assess outcomes of professional development programs (PDP). Still, this approach is limited and can be misaligned with other…

Principals play an important role in creating positive school climates. However, principals are also at higher risk of having mental health problems and diminished wellbeing due to the complex nature of their work. Research has found that excessive workloads further undermine principal physical and mental health, with supportive networks and…
