Previous research suggests that teachers' adoption of inquiry-based teaching is influenced by school culture's openness to creative solutions, with teachers' self-efficacy in inquiry-based teaching acting as a mediator. However, considering the potential impact of local educational and socio-cultural context on teachers' behavior, findings from…

The public's growing interest in epigenetics, particularly its applications in human health, underscores the significance of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating gene activity and promoting phenotypic diversity without altering DNA sequences. Within the framework of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, epigenetics is regarded as a non-genetic…

ChatGPT holds significant potential for enhancing learning through integration into education as an advanced chatbot. With the goal of harnessing this potential, our research focused on exploring the utilization of ChatGPT in designing a course plan for pre-service science teachers.

In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on innovative teaching methods in secondary education as educators seek to enhance students' critical thinking abilities and motivation to lean. This research focuses on evaluating the impact of a video-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach on the performance and critical thinking ability of…

In this study, a generative artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted Think-Aloud Pair Problem-Solving (TAPPS) learning strategy was introduced to support ethical dilemma-related problem-solving learning activities. Then, an interactive virtual learning companion system was developed and tested in a business ethics course to evaluate the efficacy of…

The subject of physics can sometimes seem esoteric and challenging to engineering students. It would be beneficial to create a more conducive learning environment for them by combining words, mathematical equations, graphs, and diagrams to increase their problem-solving abilities. It has been demonstrated in mechanics that employing multiple…

Objectives: Autistic children frequently exhibit irritability, which can manifest as aggression, self-injurious behaviour, and severe tantrums, leading to significant impairments. Two atypical antipsychotics have been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of irritability in autistic children, although a significant…

The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between pre-service teachers' spatial visualisation skills and their mathematical creativity through problem-posing tasks. A group of 62 pre-service teachers completed the Purdue Spatial Visualisation test and took the mathematical creativity test through problem-posing tasks. Pearson's…

South African universities are facing significant financial challenges that threaten their sustainability. Factors such as reduced government funding, unpredictable tuition collection, and the need to generate additional revenue have become major concerns for universities.

This study seeks to describe and gather opinions regarding the…

University curricula of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences usually strengthen different areas of professional intervention to their students. Physical activity for health, sports training, physical performance, sports management, and physical education stand out. Meanwhile, the sports referee role is commonly perceived by society as an authority…

To identify factors in adolescence that predict the onset of sexual violence in adolescence and young adulthood. Data were analyzed from six survey waves of the longitudinal Growing up with Media Study (2008-2018) conducted in the USA. Participants were 778 youth 13-18 years old at baseline, who completed online surveys assessing sexual violence…

Teaching quantum physics (QP) to high school (HS) students is gaining momentum, necessitating the exploration of various effective methods. Specifically, the research on quantitative teaching methods is still in its early stages. Understanding the power of Dirac notation (DN) in teaching is crucial for grasping the complexities of QP, as it…

Despite the proliferation of graduate programs in universities around the world, there are limited numbers of studies that have evaluated the current status of these programs. This paper attempts to examine the assessments of graduate students of their programs and of the graduate education process. A survey method was adopted and conducted with a…

This paper tries to probe the common quality issues in academic master theses of education majors and propose some possible countermeasures. The study sampled and evaluated 275 academic master theses of education majors in China to examine common quality issues in them, and used a questionnaire to survey 210 academic master's degree candidates of…
