This study aims to compare the views of science teachers on face-to-face and online STEM-based activities. The study was carried out with phenomenology; one of the qualitative research methods. Five science teachers (three female, two male) participated in the study. Data were collected with a structured interview form. Since they were in the…

The research on classroom management in general is numerous, yet the connection between digitization, classroom management, and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has been understudied. The current study explored how primary school teachers managed their digital classrooms while incorporating social and emotional learning into their classroom…

This study adopted integrated cooperative learning and writing-to-learn activities rather than the traditional approach to having preservice science teachers acquire knowledge about classroom management. The effects of these practices were compared. This research aims to determine the effects of cooperative news articles and story writing, as well…

This research aimed to conduct a study to develop an educational innovation called "Online Self-Training Program to Empower Teachers' Learning into Practice: The Case of Flipped Classroom Learning Management," efficiently using the Research and Development (R&D) methodology. This online self-training program consists of two projects:…

This book presents the selected papers of the 5th International Conference on Advance in Education and Information Technology (AEIT 2024), which was held in Nagoya, Japan, 2024 January 5-7. With a worldwide increase in technology-enhanced learning in school and industry settings, there has been a progressive increase in the implementation of new…

The principles of positive psychology have been studied for many years, but it seems to be only recently that the benefits of these techniques are being accepted by the wider community of mainstream educators. In this article, we first describe the principles of positive psychology, primarily through the work of Martin Seligman. Then we highlight…

Many preservice teachers often find classroom management theories and concepts too abstract to effectively address the specific challenges they encounter in real classrooms. To bridge this gap, educators commonly employ case-based instructional techniques to immerse preservice teachers in the contextual complexities of classroom management. This…

Nudging has been used in a range of fields to shape citizens' behavior and promote public priorities. However, in educational contexts, nudges have only been explored relatively recently, with limited but promising evidence for the role of nudging used to increase engagement in online study, particularly in higher education. This paper reports on…

This study addressed teacher perspectives of behavior management in the post-virtual learning classroom. The problem that was addressed was the decline of middle school student classroom behavior compared to the pre-pandemic classroom, which is crucial for educators due to its influence on the quality of teaching and learning. The purpose of this…

The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the effectiveness of attending the IDEAcon Conference virtually compared to attending the conference in-person. The study was conducted by surveying educators who attended both the IDEAcon conference in 2020, which was in person, and IDEAcon 2021 which was virtual. Using a Likert-like online…

The abrupt spread of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the quick closure of school buildings across the world in the Spring of 2020. With the pandemic still looming in the Fall of 2020, schools across the country were forced to continue offering virtual, or sometimes hybrid, modes of instruction. This quantitative study, rooted in Bandura's (1977)…

As schools reopened in the fall of 2021, educators faced pressure to fill in learning gaps created by unfinished learning. Findings from a qualitative case study of elementary school teachers show that at times teachers felt constrained by the limitations of teaching writing in an online environment; therefore, they were excited about returning to…

Professional development (PD) programs for science and agriculture teachers designed around the inquiry-based learning (IBL) teaching strategy could help to improve science proficiency amongst our high school students. PD that continues over a longer period of time is more effective than short-term workshops. The purpose of this study was to…

Remote learning ushered in new, more complex (but innovative) teaching methods for teachers. These required combining the traditional skills of managing students and teaching with the added responsibilities of navigating tech tools to ensure learning continued. For a typical online class, teachers are expected to handle at least three sets of…

Social emotional learning (SEL) is becoming more recognized as a need to be implemented in the classroom more regularly to help students deal with childhood trauma. However, the professional development that helps teachers to know how to implement SEL in their daily lessons has not been a priority in the education system. In this phenomenological…
