Background: As mentorship programs variably impact STEM identity formation, significant attention is paid to whether mentors and mentees are well-matched. Mentorship-matching studies focus on the salient ethnic and gender influences on the identity formation of underrepresented minorities. We study socioeconomic-matching influences to ascertain…

Social innovation education (SIE) is a student-led collaborative process of creating unique solutions to challenges within the community. Through an analysis of pre- and post-surveys completed by 94 post-primary school students in Ireland, the current study looked at how prior wellbeing (measured using the EPOCH model) influenced change in…

In recent years, researchers have paid increasing attention to the embodiment of education for sustainable development (ESD) in early childhood education (ECE) policies in various countries, but there is a lack of relevant research in China. Therefore, this study adopts the ESD analytical framework to analyze some representative ECE policies in…

The need for problem-solving and creative thinking skills to be taught well in business studies classrooms can never be overemphasised due to the complexity of the problems and challenges faced by businesses in the 21st-century business environment. Teachers are, therefore, required to adopt pedagogies that would enable learners to acquire…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) in mathematics is a student-centered approach that encourages exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking, allowing students to actively engage with mathematical concepts and discover relationships through hands-on activities and collaborative learning. Despite the growing interest in IBL within mathematics…

Purpose: Problem-based learning (PBL) promotes student-centered, active learning and has been applied in many health disciplines, including speech-language pathology (SLP). There is some SLP literature outlining how PBL has been applied and its components, however, how PBL is applied across SLP programs worldwide is yet to be explored. We…

The teaching and learning of mathematics in sub-Saharan African countries is dominated by teacher-centred pedagogies rather than student-centred ones. Observations of mathematics teachers at two private schools in South Sudan confirmed such practices. This inspired the researchers to design an intervention to help six primary mathematics teachers…

Developing Critical Thinking Skills (CTS) has been a primary educational goal in developed countries for several decades. However, even though Mexico recently embraced this educational trend in higher education, there is uncertainty about CTS development occurring under current conditions. Despite the abundance of quantitative studies examining…

We present a detailed analysis of two statistics lessons in lower secondary school, one in Denmark and the other in Japan. The aim of the study is to better understand how inquiry perspectives are implemented in statistics education and what cultural factors shape them. In particular, we draw on the theoretical framework of the Anthropological…
