The overall purpose of this study was to examine parents' role in the development of character among young athletes, with a particular focus on life skills development across learning contexts (i.e., sport, family, school). Participants were 20 parents (13 mothers, 7 fathers, M[subscript age] = 46.8 years, SD = 4.6) and 24 children (14 girls, 10…

The purpose of this qualitative interpretive study was to identify aspects of leadership theory prevailing in the practice of educational leaders by analyzing how 22 participants experienced leadership. The study was framed using a conceptual framework grounded in a select body of theoretical and empirical leadership literature. Data were…

The purpose of this study was to examine whether a simulation-integrated context-based 7E instructional strategy (SICBIS) could increase students' achievement in the chemistry of oxides, acids, bases, and salts (COABS) when compared to context-based 7E instructional strategy (CBIS), simulation-integrated conventional teaching approach (SICTA), and…

The effectiveness of teaching strategies in improving student achievement in mathematics has been a topic of ongoing research. In Kosovo, vocational schools, especially those with an economics focus, face challenges in student engagement and achievement in mathematics, particularly in solving contextual problems related to economics. This study…

This article delves into the potential advantages and difficulties of using immersive Extended Reality (XR) technology in engineering education. It also examines the factors influencing the acceptance and intention to continue using XR in teaching practice from instructors' viewpoints. The study has identified five themes that affect the use of XR…

Language learner attitudes about technology have traditionally been studied using survey data, but those surveys have primarily been based on disparate constructs and conceptualizations of learner attitudes. The lack of a common measure, or one that reflects other levels and contexts of learning, has limited the investigation about language…

Choosing relevant vocabulary to teach in ESL composition courses can be a difficult task for instructors. They often rely on intuition rather than empirical methods for vocabulary selection. This paper presents two case studies where corpora were used either to select vocabulary items for instruction or to scaffold student learning of vocabulary…

Global education in China, particularly in the rural regions, has not been extensively investigated.

A total of 12 in-service schoolteachers were identified by the snowball sampling method. All participants…

This research aimed to investigate the expectations and gains of teachers who designed and used context-based teaching materials in their classes and to reveal their views on the applicability of this teaching approach. The methodology of this research was the case study. The research was carried out with two chemistry teachers who participated in…

The complexity of special education and the variability among students Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require special education teachers to make a concerted effort to provide validated supports that contribute to their students' learning outcomes. Among the most important considerations for teachers is the use of teaching practices supported as…

Science curriculum is delivered to students through a controlled process at different levels and in various contexts. Although it has been said that science teachers' viewpoints and attitudes influence the interpretation of curricula, this study is interested in factors affecting their pedagogical perspectives, such as their beliefs and teaching…

Although the use of tables, graphs, and figures to summarize information has long existed, the advent of the big data era and improved computing power has brought renewed attention to the field of data visualization. As such, it is crucial that introductory statistics courses train students to become critical authors and consumers of data…

This longitudinal qualitative multicase study of social studies teachers' implementation of differentiation examined two educators' experiences as teacher candidates and beginning teachers, drawing upon theoretical perspectives of novice teacher appropriation of pedagogies across learning-to-teach settings. The study's first phase explored how…

We describe an exercise for introducing undergraduate students to the practice of assigning tasks to followers and illustrating that proper task assignment is contingent on context. Students are assigned the roles of "manager" or "employee," and managers instruct employees how to create a penholder out of Mega Bloks® using only…

Previous research has explored how L2 students with one specific level of English proficiency engage with teacher written corrective feedback (WCF) underpinned by a tripartite dimensional construct of student engagement in the context of Chinese public universities. Yet, scant attention has been paid to how students of differing proficiency levels…
