The aim of this study was to investigate the understanding and reactions of Korean young children to music through analysis of their drawings and the accompanying explanations they present while listening to a musical piece 'The Elephant' from 'The Carnival of the Animals' by Saint-Saëns. Drawings and explanations from 36 six-year-olds were…

The aim of this study is twofold: one is to examine the relationship between mathematics achievement and three sources of mathematics self-efficacy (social persuasion, vicarious experience, and physical state) separately through mastery experience as a mediator, and the other is to investigate the relationship between vicarious experience and…

The profession of early childhood education is often dismissed as unimportant or unworthy of respect. Preschool teachers' occupational stigma consciousness has been shown to be associated with lower work engagement, but the mechanism of this association is unclear. Most research has focused on individual or organizational factors, with little…

In this paper, a secure exam proctoring assistant 'EMTIHAN' (which means exam in Arabic/Persian/Urdu/Turkish languages) is developed to address concerns related to online exams for handwritten topics by allowing students to submit their answers online securely via their mobile devices. This system is designed with an aim to lessen the student's…

This study explores the relationship between student readiness for online learning and its impacts on engagement, satisfaction, and academic achievement in Indonesian higher education. Using a mixed-methods design, the quantitative phase employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to reveal that online learning readiness significantly affects…

One characteristic of Physical Education [PE] is its body-relatedness. A binary gender logic is pervasive in PE, shaping the perceptions, thoughts, and behaviours of both students and teachers. From a cis- and heteronormative perspective, this binarity goes along with inequality and discrimination. PE can be an especially sensitive context for…

Acknowledging the diverse ways of knowing and communicating knowledge, this article suggests that community dance and cinematography can be powerful tools for sharing lived experiences. The research involved a community of 80 individuals, ages 5-50 years old, during the COVID-19 pandemic and under the strict measures of quarantine. Art-based…

The Austrian education policy employs a segregated model of language support, ostensibly to provide equitable opportunities for language learners. Prior research has demonstrated that this model has not fully achieved its objective of equalizing opportunities, as students persistently confront many academic and socio-emotional challenges. To gain…

Mathematics education forms the foundational framework for cultivating crucial skills and competencies vital for navigating an ever more intricate and numerical society. Despite its significance, students often encounter challenges and express reluctance towards certain mathematical topics, thus warranting a deeper exploration into the factors…

This study addresses the gap in understanding graduate students' sustained engagement behavior (SEB) with generative artificial intelligence (GAI) by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT), and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) into a comprehensive embedding model. It introduces the Technology…

This study examines the characteristics of research papers published by Mexican mathematics educators from 2012 to 2021, focusing on the influence of global and local forces on academic production. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's concepts, we view mathematics education research as a socio-ideological language, where each paper functions as an…

To date, neuroanatomy education courses are still based on two-dimensional (2D) illustrations combined with cadaver dissections. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of neuroanatomy, we offered mixed reality experience using a head-mounted device (HMD) for medical students during their neuroanatomy course. This pilot study´s purpose was to…

Background: Few studies have concurrently examined how different types of stressors influence university students' well-being through their use of coping strategies. Exploring such effects should enrich our understanding of how individuals develop strategies for coping with specific stressful situations and provide insights into the mechanisms by…

While the role of empathy in socio-emotional functioning has received extensive support in the literature, affective empathy has been identified as a risk factor for internalising disorders. However, little literature has explored the mechanisms through which affective empathy exerts its counter-effect and what aspects could regulate this…
