The main objective of this research is to reveal the 5th-grade students' views about the hidden curriculum practices carried out in the science course. The research has been arranged according to qualitative design. The "Interview" technique has been used to determine students ' views on hidden curriculum practices in the science course,…

This study focuses on the relationship between an autonomy-supportive classroom climate and changes in attitudes towards social participation in mixed-grade classes. The research field involved the learning activities conducted in a Japanese elementary school. Learning activities were carried out in mixed-grade classes, and the children engaged in…

This study aimed to produce a suitable module to improve the understanding of environmental care concepts and attitudes of fourth-grade elementary school students and determine the module's effectiveness. The data collection instruments consisted of a teacher interview guide, a student preliminary study questionnaire, a media expert validation…

This study focuses on an intervention programme designed to foster collectivity in classroom dialogue during sixth-grade language arts lessons, incorporating a coaching-based approach grounded in real classroom experiences. Specifically, we examine how this programme affected the beliefs and practices of a sceptical teacher in relation to…

A mixed-methods research design was employed to explore the attitudes of typically developing elementary school students (students 8 through 13 years of age; in the United States, third through eighth grade) toward individuals with disabilities. The intervention consisted of person-centred videos that depicted productive, successful people with…

This purpose of this study was to explore changes in science and reading interest among a diverse group of 5th grade science students who used a mixed reality reading experience, with a specific focus on the experience of low-fluency readers. This study involved pre-post measures and post-interviews with 15 fifth grade students. The intervention…

Students' intrinsic motivation to read, which is relevant to all forms of learning, tends to decline throughout secondary school. Based on self-determination theory (SDT), this study examines whether this downward trend is slowed when students perceive greater autonomy support in the classroom. We used large-scale panel data from the NEPS…

Background: In the study conducted with primary school students, the differences between STEM and STEAM activities and environmental awareness and environmental aesthetics were examined. Purpose: This study aims to examine the effects of traditional methods, STEM, and STEAM-based activities on primary school fourth-grade students' environmental…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being deeply integrated into human society. In the future, human collaboration with AI is inevitable. Therefore, exploring the attitudes of future workers--represented by current K-12 children--towards AI has become crucial. Robots stand as typical representatives of AI. Robot programming education is an important…

In this study, the effect of philosophy for children on primary school 4th-grade students' attitudes toward socioscientific issues (SSIs) and asking questions will be examined. A quasi-experimental design will be used in the study. In the study, 48 (experimental group [EG]: 24, control group [CG]: 24) primary school 4th-grade students studying in…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of activity-based mathematics teaching on the attitudes of elementary school 4th graders towards mathematics activities and their beliefs about mathematics. The research is designed according to the quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The study group consisted of a total of 50…

Context: The literature on mindsets is now well-established in showing the impact of student interventions on their school achievement (Blackwell et al., 2007). But there is much less evidence on the effects of mindset interventions on teachers. Studies have analyzed changes in teacher beliefs (Deemer 2004; Rattan, Good, and Dweck 2012;…

The adption of the Common European Framework Reference (CEFR) as a guideline in Malaysian English language education has led the Ministry of Education to replace locally-developed English textbooks with a selection of imported titles. While considering the significance of intercultural skills in the English curriculum, there is a need to look into…

Despite the documented influence of motivation on mathematics learning for most students, we understand far less about this relation for students identified with learning disabilities. Based on Rogoff's three planes of analysis (i.e., personal, community, and interpersonal), we gathered survey, interview, and video data to understand the…

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of coding instruction performed with the Lego Mindstorms EV3 robotic set on students' attitudes towards coding and their perceptions of computational thinking skills self-efficacy. Single group experimental research design was used in the research. The study group of the research consisted of 30…
