The extant literature indicates that blended learning leads to better outcomes compared to traditional lectures in management education. However, the working memory, which processes all incoming information, can be assumed to already work at capacity in traditional lectures. As blended environments cannot extend this capacity, they can only…

Research Findings: This study uses data from a comprehensive meta-analytic database of early childhood education (ECE) program evaluations published between 1960 and 2007 in the United States to examine the incremental effects of adding enhancement program components to ECE programs on children's cognitive abilities, pre-academic skills,…

Process-oriented child monitoring (POM) deals with systematic monitoring of the observed learning needs of children in early childhood education by teachers. Between 2017 and 2021, a teacher professional development trajectory was implemented using POM in ethnically diverse preschools in Central Vietnam. These preschools typically consist of…

In this article, the author describes learning principles that are grounded in Daniel Willingham's (2017) simple model of the mind and suggest professional learning strategies aligned with them. These strategies are consistent with the Learning Designs standard of the Standards for Professional Learning, which states, in part, "Educators use…

The United States has seen an increase in cultural and linguistic diversity of student populations. Policy makers have looked toward existing research in dual language education, alternative curriculum, and bilingualism to support the needs of dual-language learners. In this paper, we review two areas of research that have implications for…

Action research is suggested as a way to engage teachers in curriculum development and the betterment of teaching practices in schools based on educational research activities. As in other educational domains, action research in science education is employed with both aims to better understand and develop teaching practices and to contribute to…

This study investigates the diagnostic and prognostic framings of Swedish mathematics teachers regarding the difficulties experienced by students in mathematics learning. Collegial discussions among 65 mathematics teachers in nine collegial groups were videotaped during a professional development (PD) program entitled Boost for Mathematics for…

Decades of educational genetics research have highlighted that differences in academic achievement are partly explained by genetic variation between individuals. Consequently, there is ongoing discussion about whether genetic influences on educationally related traits should be more widely acknowledged in schools and communicated specifically to…

This study aims to investigate the role of the training program "Making Learning Visible" (MLV) in developing Creative Teaching Competencies of Bahrain Teachers College (BTC) faculty members at the University of Bahrain. The study sample consists of (35) faculty members in BTC (13 male and 22 female). To achieve the objective of this…

Aim/Purpose: This study investigates the key factors influencing the adoption and use of artificial intelligence (AI) applications among researchers, focusing on effort expectancy, satisfaction, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness, which shaped attitudes and drove AI adoption as a research assistant. Background: AI tools have rapidly…

The aim of the research is to investigate the relationship between the preschool teachers attitudes towards science education and their cognitive flexibility levels. In this context, personal information of 207 pre-school teachers was collected with the Personal Information Form prepared by the researcher. Attitude Scale of Preschool Teachers…

A number of training models for attitude and character building have been applied to train Indonesian teachers; however, a majority of these teachers still feel confused about how to instill values in their students and shape children's attitudes and characters. Research and development (Kimbrough & Hutcheson, 1998) model was applied in this…

Abstract concepts dominate university science teaching, and much of this content is taught without sufficient connection to students' prior knowledge or everyday experiences. As this can be problematic for students, the aim of this research was to determine the utility and effectiveness of a professional development module on using analogies to…

The unit factor method, a generic strategy for solving any proportion-related problem, is known to be effective at reducing cognitive load through unit-cancellation providing step-by-step guidance. However, concerns have been raised that it can be applied mindlessly. This primarily quantitative prepost study investigates the efficacy of…

This study examined the influence of higher education teacher training on student physics teachers' progression in content knowledge (CK). To become experts, student teachers must acquire both declarative and procedural -- conditional CK. This progression is generally characterized by the prerequisite role of declarative knowledge, meaning that…
