This paper explores the move towards an all-female teaching force, particularly in the developed world, where men are turning their backs on the profession. It attempts to gather the evidence as to what is affecting men's choice to reject teaching as a career. It explores the possible causes of this change, which has been increasing over the last…

The recent trend of embedding source code for machine learning applications also enables new opportunities in learning analytics in programming education, but which code embedding approach is most suitable for learning analytics remains an open question. A common approach to embedding source code lies in extracting syntactic information from a…

Computer gameplay and social media are the two most common forms of entertainment in the digital age. Many scholars share the assumption that leisure-time digital consumption is associated with CS affinity, but there is a dearth of research evidence for this relationship. Female students generally spend less time on gaming and more time on social…

This study aims at investigating the factors affecting the prospective teachers 'innovativeness level by structural equation modeling. For this purpose, the predictive relationships between gender, grade level, department, and risk-taking behaviors, and pre-service teachers' innovativeness levels were analyzed by path analysis. The correlational…

The characteristics of early-age children, such as curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, align with the essential attributes of STEM education. Consequently, it is important to examine the perspectives of children's picture books regarding STEM professions (gender, field of study, inferred action, etc.). Children's picture books tailored for…

The researcher framed the #Me-Too social justice activist movement as a plausible mediating variable influencing organizations' and subordinate evaluators' recognition of students during the portfolio learning assessment (PLA) process. The researcher's findings indicated when correlating evaluators ratings to academic years and the apex of the…

We examined the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and creativity through a meta-analysis of 885 effect sizes from 151 samples in 116 studies. We adopted a multivariate meta-analysis approach to control for the dependency of the effect sizes along with a robust variance estimator to account for their correlation. Analyses showed that…

In order to socialize, get rid of stress and the routine of daily life, relax, and return to work more efficiently, people plan their vacation time in advance, work for this plan, save money and even go into debt. In this regard, this study aims to examine the relationship between the planned behavior levels of university students who tend to…

Research on the relationship between learning approaches and variables such as the perceived impact of some university activities is limited. The present study analyses the relationship between Learning approaches (Student Process Questionnaire, SPQ) and high-impact educational practices (HIEPs). The sample consisted of 893 first and final-year…

This study addresses three overarching issues using an online survey. (1) What do parents do with their children to facilitate their early mathematics and literacy learning? What are their beliefs and attitudes about academic socialization, for both mathematics and literacy, and what opportunities do these parents provide their children? (2) Does…

Today, it is of great importance to establish a workforce with knowledge and skills in fields such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics and education in order to reach the level of developed society. STEM, as an integrated educational approach, is known as one of the effective methods in teaching such knowledge and skills. However, the…

Ensuring gender equality in education is among the Sustainable Development Goals specified by the United Nations. Ensuring gender equality in teaching/learning environments, however, requires gender aware and sensitive teachers. This study aimed to identify gender equality needs of preservice teachers through their perceptions. Following a…

Despite curriculum expectations, many students, including a disproportionate number of girls, do not 'just know' (retrieve) single-digit addition facts by Year 3. The current study employed structured interviews to explore which strategies Year 3/4 students (n = 166) used when solving more difficult addition combinations. Results revealed that…

This research focuses on better understanding the nature of pre-service teachers' four-frame leadership orientations. As it is known, the phenomenon of leadership still continues to be a research topic in the field of educational administration. But, these studies carried out on teachers and school administrators. As future teachers and school…

This paper presents results from research that investigated the participation and attrition rate of male and female candidates in two post-secondary mathematics courses (Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics). The data for this study consisted of the course results over five years from 2013-2017 for 15,220 candidates (N = 19,585) from 71…
