Pedagogical models have been described as suitable for promoting positive outcomes in the physical domain of learning. Is this enough in the battle against sedentary lifestyles? To answer this question, a systematic search of four scientific literature databases was conducted. The articles were included if they met the following criteria: (1)…

Purpose: This meta-analytical study aims to test the interrelationships within Bolman and Deal's four-frame leadership model in educational settings around the world. Moreover, we evaluated the effect of several factors like publication year, study type, sample group, level of education and country of data collection on these relationships.…

The study explores the effectiveness of multimodality teaching using the 4MAT Model. A meta-analysis was conducted with empirical studies on instruction via multimodality teaching in preschool, K-12, and higher education. The studies in the meta-analysis involved an experimental and control group. The control group received traditional teaching…

Climate change is of great concern to all age groups but in particular to children. "Simple" climate models have been in place for a long time and can be used effectively with post-16 students. For younger children, modifications are required, and we describe in this paper the development and use of two such models. The first (the Granny…

Constructivist learning theories have emphasized learners' interactions with the environment, which includes their peers. Therefore, student cooperation/collaboration has been considered crucial in science education. However, although there have been many science cooperative/collaborative learning (CCL) studies reported in Korea, there has been a…

Since the 1990s, Singapore has firmly established its reputation in the global education policy space as one of the best education systems in the world. However, existing policy transfer literature on Singapore has been mainly interested in Singapore as a decontextualised, ahistorical case, rather than as a unique player in the global education…

Even though effective teaching is required when doctoral students assume positions in higher education, few doctoral programs have courses or formalized experiences designed around pedagogy for undergraduate and graduate students. The lack of pedagogical emphasis is especially concerning for newly minted doctoral students who will be preparing…

This article responds to the question: In what ways can an international research partnership involving partners from Canada and Ghana contribute to efforts to foster inclusive education in schools? We describe a research partnership that involved universities in Canada and Ghana, civil-society organizations, schools, and government departments.…

This article explores the integration of ChatGPT into instructional design, utilizing a backward planning framework to align learning objectives, assessments, and activities for enhanced educational outcomes. Grounded in the principles of Understanding by Design (UbD) the paper introduces a threestep human-AI hybrid co-design model that enables…

This study explores features of professional learning community (PLC) models in the educational contexts in Bahrain and Oman. Findings based on the case studies of PLCs in two private schools in Bahrain and Oman, and theoretical input from international PLC literature has implications for policy and practice. Study recommends promoting PLC…

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an instructional model, used in a Master of Science in Education in Reading (MSEd) Reading program, on K-12 classroom literacy instruction. Recent, MSEd Reading program graduates had an opportunity to share their perspectives on "The Model of the Complete, Literate Student." Findings…

Background: Digital storytelling is the use of digital media elements such as text, images, audio, and video to create and tell a story. A form of digital storytelling using a social robot to do the story presentation is called…

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools into education has been a game-changer for teaching and assessment practices, bringing new opportunities, but also novel challenges which need to be dealt with. This paper presents the Comprehensive AI Assessment Framework (CAIAF), an evolved version of the AI Assessment Scale…

In this article, we theorize the disciplinary lifecycle as an alternative to the limited metaphor of the "career arc." We argue that theorizing career trajectories as lifecycles resonates more fully with the experiences that are common to careers in rhetoric, composition, and writing studies (RCWS), thereby providing more possibilities…

The Modelling Dance task is a mathematical modelling task that explores the relationship between mathematics and dance. The authors share the task sequence, adaptations made to support virtual implementation, and evidence of student learning related to learning goals.
