This project emerged from the voices of eight female teacher candidates of color, who wanted to address the inequitable representation of historically underrepresented groups within elementary school education. Using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) advanced by Fals-Borda, the teacher candidates designed instructional units that used…

Early academic skills and behavioral characteristics in students are predictive of later school achievement, but academics and behavior are commonly compartmentalized in research and practice. This study investigated to what extent first-grade early numeracy (EN), literacy, and behavior ratings predicted fourth-grade mathematics achievement. In…

It is well-established that being a self-regulated learner is beneficial academically, motivationally and is considered essential for productive life-long learning. Despite this, there is limited evidence examining how different measures of self-regulation for learning (SRL) relate to task performance for young students learning in digital…

Today, it is known that rapidly developing industrialization and urbanization seriously threaten the future of humanity. This situation brings to mind the concept of 'sustainable development'. The aim of this study is to determine the "Sustainable Development' awareness of prospective teachers in different branches. Survey method was used in…

In the context of postgraduate pedagogical education reform, transition to multi-level training of teachers, ensuring competitiveness of specialists in a reasonable labor market, issue of preparing future teachers for professional and pedagogical activities is very relevant. Since the Republic of Kazakhstan joined ranks of independent States,…

Learning to read depends on the ability to extract precise details of letter combinations, which convey critical information that distinguishes tens of thousands of visual word forms. To support fluent reading skill, one crucial neural developmental process is one's brain sensitivity to statistical constraints inherent in combining letters into…

Academic achievement is an important factor strongly related to positive educational experiences that facilitate subsequent learning. Therefore, identifying students who need support at an early stage and promptly providing appropriate intervention play a crucial role in preventing learning deficits. This study examined the longitudinal change in…

Elementary social studies is often viewed as less important than mathematics and reading. Although part of the curriculum, social studies is often overlooked by teachers due to testing demands. Therefore, it was important to investigate preservice teachers' perceptions and attitudes about social studies upon entering their methods courses to…

This paper critically reflects on how transformative learning (TL) is described both conceptually and as a process in the literature in different fields and national contexts. We articulate a definition of TL and justify why geography education is an ideal vehicle for enabling it. This is followed by a series of case studies explaining how TL can…

There is growing interest in assessing the knowledge acquired by students. More often and in diverse disciplines it is necessary to know the level of the students through different types of testing. In the case of teaching of geography in Spain, there is a decrease and loss of such learning for various reasons. The aim of this research is to…

This study aims to advance the development of the mathematical processing skills of students by suggesting the use of digital geography games. This includes an analysis of its contribution to the standard mathematics curriculum in areas such as data processing as well as its contribution to social studies curricula in areas such as map literacy,…

Values education within the school context is, among other elements, shaped by a value-related school climate as well as teachers' value-related educational goals. This longitudinal study investigated the interplay between these two elements over fifteen months, starting in March 2021, and including four points of measurement (t1 - t4). The sample…

Fake news and artificial intelligence are phenomena addressed in academia and research within the fields of communication and audiovisual education. As a medium and language, cinema has mirrored these challenges, exemplified by the short film "Deep Soria." The primary objective proposed in this study is to ascertain whether this short…

This work sets out the results of a teaching innovation project applying the flipped classroom model in the Knowledge of Mathematics module on a bachelor's degree in primary education over two consecutive years at a university that exclusively uses online teaching. This model is used with the aim of stimulating the students' working methods and…
