This study examines the potential of inclusive design in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to address the impact of stereotype threat, a significant barrier encountered by underrepresented groups, particularly in STEM education. As online learning opportunities grow, the demographic composition of course participants frequently does not reflect…

To promote inclusive practices in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms, this research explores teacher candidates' (TCs') views and understandings of differentiated instruction (DI). The article addresses the following research questions: (1) What are intermediate-senior STEM TCs' initial views and understandings of…

This paper examines the effectiveness of providing personalised email feedback via an automated email application in a large undergraduate introductory accounting course. Over 1,200 students received feedback via emails sent weekly, semi-tailored to each student based on their results in online self-test learning quizzes. We first found that…

Children typically learn by attending to other people. Autism traits may impact access to social stimuli fundamental to early learning, increasing children's likelihood of a learning disability. Recent reports have highlighted that Autistic children from minority backgrounds have a higher likelihood of co-occurring intellectual disability. This…

The democratization of online platforms through technological advancements has helped in the growth of new tools for digital learning. The global pandemic in 2019 accelerated the shift to a digital environment for organisations worldwide.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has emerged as a powerful tool for boosting students' mathematics achievement. By integrating these disciplines, students are equipped with essential skills for the 21st-century workforce and can develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Through hands-on experiments,…

Purpose: This instrumental case study (Stake, 1995) explores the benefits experienced by mentor teachers who mentored resident teachers in a year-long residency program. Design/methodology/approach: The study was grounded by the Benefits of Being a Mentor conceptual framework, as defined by Ragins and Scandura (1999). The participating mentor…

Physical Education (PE) Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes are responsible for preparing teachers who can address the needs of an ever-changing and increasingly diverse student population. This paper analyses associate teachers' (ATs) use of the reciprocal approach and the perceived impact on students' learning and social inclusion in PE…

By 2031, culturally and linguistically diverse students will represent approximately 55% of students enrolled in United States public schools (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2023). Despite increased ethnic diversity among students, most teachers are White. Consequently, many new teachers report feeling ill-equipped to implement…
