This study examined the development of the evaluation of praise that differs in congruence between what the praiser is praising (i.e. effort or ability) and what led the recipient to succeed. Children aged 7 and 8 years (second graders) and 10 and 11 years (fifth graders), as well as adults, made emotional and motivational evaluations about…

The aim of this study was to develop, implement, and evaluate an intervention program focusing on developing Grade 5 and 6 students' functional thinking. The innovative aspect lies in addressing simultaneously various aspects of function--input--output, covariation, correspondence, and object--in terms of manipulating tasks that involve functional…

This qualitative study explores how teachers implement literacy pedagogies that affirm and engage students despite facing restrictive literacy mandates. We interviewed a focus group of four veteran Revolutionary Loving kindergarten through fifth-grade teachers from three Title 1 schools in the southeastern United States. Additionally, the study…

Developmental theories and previous research suggest that individuals do not develop separately from their environments. Yet, limited information is known about how ecological influences specifically shape early adolescents' development. To address this, the current study examined environmental influences on early adolescents' future orientation…

The aim of this study is to design and develop an augmented reality based mobile application (HardwARe teaching material) based on the "Computer Systems" subject outcomes in the 5th grade curriculum. In the design and development phase of the HardwARe teaching material, the design-based research (DBR) method, which is frequently…

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Directed Listening-Thinking Activity (DLTA) strategy on improving listening comprehension skills among fifth-grade female students in Jordan. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design. To achieve its objectives, a 30-item listening comprehension test was constructed. The…

As students move beyond foundational decoding, many still require targeted support to develop vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. IMSE's Morphology+ program meets this need through explicit, systematic instruction in prefixes, suffixes, and Latin and Greek roots. Designed for grades 3-5, the program uses multimodal strategies and embedded…

A significant body of research has focused on the impact of immersive virtual reality (IVR) on vocabulary retention, but little is known about how to integrate language learning theories in IVR-mediated vocabulary learning. This study aims to examine the effect of IVR that integrate input processing model on vocabulary retention for elementary…

This study investigated upper elementary teachers' framings of their students' mathematical thinking in written across the three component skills of noticing. Drawing on a situated perspective, the research examines the influences of teachers' culturalhistorical backgrounds, attitudes, dispositions, interactions with students, and other situated…

This qualitative study aimed to describe the collaborative process followed by an in-service teacher and two university researchers in co-designing and implementing a Health-based Physical Education/Sport Education hybridization and to explore the perceived strengths/weaknesses of the process. An 11-lesson (six weeks) intervention on rope-skipping…

Attending school does not necessarily lead to learning. In the classroom, quality of teaching is one of the most significant factors in determining pupil outcomes. Structured pedagogy programmes are designed to support teaching practice and have led to improved learning outcomes at scale across different contexts including in low-income countries.…

This study evaluated the feasibility of the Knowledge, Language, and Inquiry (K.L.I.) intervention, designed to support Grades 3-5 multilingual students classified as English learners (ML-ELs) in building content knowledge, language skills, and reading comprehension through inquiry-based small-group instruction. Feasibility was examined across…

Employing transnationalism and transnational literacies as theoretical perspectives, this study explores how two focal students from Asian immigrant families construct their transnational and transcultural identities by reflecting on their dynamic border-crossing experiences. The students' creation of artifacts (illustrating self-portraits and…

Education for sustainable development has become a key aspect in educational settings with regard to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Teachers have a key role in educating the younger generations to achieve these goals, which are directly related to SDG4 (Quality Education). People who feel a strong sense of connection to nature tend…

Background: Teaching programming and computational thinking is becoming a major issue in many education systems. Numerous approaches are possible, but very few studies compare these different ways of implementing programming and computational thinking learning. Objectives: We compared three ways of teaching programming and computational thinking…
