Understanding rational numbers is critical for secondary mathematics achievement. However, students with mathematics difficulties (MD) struggle with rational number topics, including fractions, decimals, and percentages. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe the instructional foci of rational number interventions, determine the…

Despite the demands for innovation, adaptability, and creative problem-solving as seen in the fourth Industrial Revolution, many institutions of higher education struggle to center creativity in the learning experience. This qualitative, grounded theory study examines how first-year courses using design thinking approaches can introduce creativity…

Laypeople's estimates of carbon footprints have repeatedly shown to be deficient, which may hinder targeted behavior change to reduce CO2 emissions. In an online study (N = 127), a vast underestimation of carbon footprints for 60 food items was observed in an on average highly educated convenience sample, confirming a lack of carbon footprints…

The purpose of this study was to examine the mathematical creativity of gifted and non-gifted students through the indicators of creativity (fluency, flexibility, and originality). The study involved 12 secondary school students (six gifted and six non-gifted) from different cities in the Black Sea Region of Türkiye. The data were collected…

In this essay, we contend that there continues to be a lack of attentiveness in educational leadership and policy to addressing how critical educators "emotionally" navigate social and political issues generally, and racism particularly--both of which are emotional issues. As such, using brief examples of reflections from critical…

This article examines different rationalities for parental involvement in their children's early childhood education and care (ECEC). Starting from Foucault's governmentality and the context of the transforming and diversifying Czech preschool system, it analyzes parents' rationalities for their involvement in ECEC and discusses how they relate to…

In this theoretical and conceptual article, we consider how meaning-making, literacies, identities, power, privilege, and in/equities are entangled with/in non/human sociomaterial force relations. Inspired by Rose, we build theoretically on the philosophical principles of hip-hop--flow, rupture, layering, and sampling. Conceptually, we invite…

Previous studies have provided insights into classroom etiquette through research focused on observing small student groups, with no significant exploration, through survey research, of classroom etiquette in a large sample. The present study addresses this gap through a questionnaire measuring students' self-perceptions of classroom etiquette. A…

Multiple imputation (MI) is a popular method for handling missing data. In education research, it can be challenging to use MI because the data often have a clustered structure that need to be accommodated during MI. Although much research has considered applications of MI in hierarchical data, little is known about its use in cross-classified…

Change-point analysis (CPA) is a method for detecting abrupt changes in parameter(s) underlying a sequence of random variables. It has been applied to detect examinees' aberrant test-taking behavior by identifying abrupt test performance change. Previous studies utilized maximum likelihood estimations of ability parameters, focusing on detecting…

Pedigree problems are typical tasks in school genetics classes. However, they are perceived as difficult and often are not successfully completed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine relevant factors that might have an impact on success in pedigree analysis. Based on previous research, we investigate the influence of the…

This paper looks at the experiences of school history education and explores the impact this education has had on the development of young adults and their sense of identity in England.

This study aimed to determine whether there was a correlation between school administrators' solution-focused approach and their preferences for conflict management strategies. The research design of this study was the correlational survey, which is one of the quantitative research designs. The sample of this study included 248 school…

Background/purpose: This study investigates how the teaching intervention and familiarity with the search topic enhance Greek students' behaviour while solving information problems. Materials/methods: Seven university students solved three information problems on the same search topic during an academic semester. After the first and before the…

The iPhone 62 has just been released. Political gridlock and the governmentally approved process of locking immigrant children in cages continue ad infinitum. Public schools resort to primarily remote learning as pandemic viruses ebb and flow. University students study post-postmodernism on campuses that remain on stolen Indigenous land. In this…
