In this study, New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) provides a snapshot of how generative artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging in teaching and learning within Aotearoa New Zealand's primary classrooms (Years 5-8). This report contains survey responses from a cohort of 266 primary school teachers who were disproportionately…

Effective teacher preparation goes beyond enhancing EFL pre-service teachers' English proficiency. It also involves equipping them with the skills to design culturally relevant course materials. However, little attention has been paid to how locally and globally contextualized materials influence EFL pre-service teachers' reading strategy…

Real-world applications can be potent tools in chemistry teaching, fostering highly beneficial learning for students. By involving students in real-world phenomena, we not only alter their perceptions of chemistry but also cultivate crucial chemistry competencies, preparing them for the future as scientists and citizens. In this report, we…

This study investigates vocational students' blended learning from the perspective of the extended Community of Inquiry framework (incorporating learning presence as the fourth presence), and examine the mediating role of academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (two constructs that we label "learning presence?) in the effect of…
