An animation-based drawing learning model involves simple animation from the beginning to the end of the drawing, with the teacher acting as a facilitator and guide. The research is based on the fact that there are still many children who have difficulty expressing themselves through their drawings due to low imagination. The goal of this study is…

Regression discontinuity (RD) designs have gained significant popularity as a quasi-experimental device for evaluating education programs and policies. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of RD designs, focusing on the continuity-based framework, the most widely adopted RD framework. We first review the fundamental aspects of RD…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of training plus Practice-Based Coaching (PBC), delivered via text message, on teacher use of targeted Pyramid Model (PM) practices. A multiple baseline design across behaviors was replicated across three early childhood teachers. Following training on self-selected target practices, the…

Purpose: The purpose of this project was (1) to collaborate with public preschool programs to adapt, test, and revise the implementation model of an innovative early mathematics intervention, "Pre-K Mathematics" and (2) to determine whether this model makes it possible for local programs to sustain their implementation without reducing…

The study aims to examine the effectiveness of interactive digital content based on the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework (TPACK) model in developing the skills of educational aids production and enhancing cognitive achievement among early childhood students at Jadara University.

Moreover, prekindergarten (PreK) and kindergarten (K) teachers report feeling…

There is growing recognition that mathematical modeling can be a lever for equity in elementary mathematics classrooms. This study focuses on the impact of a professional development program focused on culturally responsive mathematical modeling on 8 kindergarten through 2nd grade teachers' practices in modeling lessons. We use a project developed…

Students with learning disabilities/difficulties in mathematics often apply ineffective procedures to solve word problems. Given that current mathematics curriculum standards emphasize conceptual understanding in problem solving as well as higher-order thinking and reasoning, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a model-based…

As an integral part of the concept of lifelong learning, non formal learning enables adults to acquire the necessary skills to adapt more easily to the ever-changing social life.
