Background: Content of physical education, such as games, fitness or dance as well as their adequate didactical (re-)presentation for learning purposes are central topics of discussion in sports pedagogy. The concrete processes that constitute the content of PE lessons in situ tend to remain unconsidered in the discussion. Thus, there is a…

Reimagining elementary mathematics pedagogy using a three-step process--See It, Say It, Symbolize It--author Patrick L. Sullivan provides a guide for developing a dynamic and flexible understanding of numbers and operations. By helping students develop a language that is consistent across concepts and connecting it to what is seen and symbolized,…

Tangible programming combines the advantages of object manipulation with programmable hardware, which plays an essential role in improving programming skills. As a tool for ensuring the quality of projects and improving learning outcomes, the PDCA cycle strategy is conducive to cultivating reflective thinking. However, there is still a lack of…

This study contributes to our understanding of children's development of map-reading skills through a systematic 'step-by-step approach'. Utilising an ecological research design, we investigated how children perceive and utilise maps in a large-scale outdoor environment. A total of 156 children, aged 5-11 (both boys and girls), participated in the…

Computational thinking is becoming an essential skill in educational systems. There is, however, still a great deal to learn about it. This research aims to evaluate whether the inclusion of a specific material (Junior School Bebras Cards) favors the development of primary students' computational thinking skills. For this purpose, 37 fourth-grade…

Background/purpose: The study tries to discover how predictive thinking can be incorporated into writing activities to assist students in developing their creative skills in writing learning environments. Through this study, teachers will be able to adopt a new teaching method that helps transform the way creative writing is taught in language…

The current proposed study sought to extend the work conducted by Ostrosky et al. (2022). The research extension aimed to include and determine the effectiveness of EBI using three instructional models as group contingencies. The results compared the lecture instructional model and interdependent and individualized EBI research results of 10- and…

Despite increased research interest in improving students' scientific inquiry abilities, how to conduct scientific inquiry using science textbooks that are easily accessible to primary school students remains understudied. This study developed and verified an inquiry activity model (IAM) to improve the performance of primary school students in…

Creative writing is a valuable skill that enables learners to become proficient writers. One reason students often struggle with creative writing is their lack of contextual experiences. Spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) has been argued to support students' writing through immersive virtual experiences. However, what specific…

This paper seeks to identify the teaching strategies used in Grade 4 Culture and Heritage lessons in a Chinese-Filipino School. Further, it is important to effectively address these with constructivist-based teaching strategies to help maximize the learning experience. This study used qualitative method where Ethnographic research design and…

Programmed control systems are ubiquitous in the present-day world. In current educational practice, however, these systems are hardly being addressed, and little is known about children's spontaneous understandings about such systems. Therefore, we explored pupils' understandings prior to instruction in three concrete settings: a car park, an…

Climate education is becoming a key educational issue of our time. This also brings with it increased demands for educational research in this area. One important question is how climate attitudes are constructed to support students' willingness to act towards climate change. In this paper, we explore how participatory, holistic and…

The low scientific literacy in students is due to several factors such as lack of motivation, negative attitudes towards teachers, low self-esteem, and lack of confidence in self-ability. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) learning model based on the Growth Mindset of scientific literacy and learning…

Conceptual replications are part and parcel of education science. Methodologically rigorous conceptual replication studies permit researchers to test and strengthen the generalizability of a study's initial findings. The current conceptual replication sought to replicate the efficacy of a small-group, first-grade mathematics intervention with 240…

As our society has advanced in the era of digital transformation, education has been transformed from knowledge-centered to competency-centered to solve future problems in the light of unpredictable changes and events in our lives. Programming education provides the basic knowledge needed, and fosters higher-order thinking skills in the process of…
