Matthew R. Ferguson – International Journal of Leadership in Education, 2024
Internationalization is a key development strategy for universities in Thailand. This has meant a surge in international program offerings and the establishment of international colleges on many campuses. However, what distinguishes an International Education (IE) in the Thai context is a tricky question. Most often, it is described by what it is…

Riikka Eronen; Laura Helle; Tuire Palonen; Henny P. A. Boshuizen – Vocations and Learning, 2024
When teaching infection prevention and control (IPC), nursing education tends to focus on skills and fostering good practice rather than challenging students' thinking. Therefore, students' misconceptions about IPC receive less attention than they deserve. The purpose of the study was to make an inventory of student nurses' misconceptions about…

Elien Sijmkens; Nico Scheerlinck; Mieke De Cock; Johan Deprez – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Differential equations are an important mathematical concept used to model processes in many disciplines. However, the literature shows that students experience many difficulties when studying this topic. We investigate the effect of using context while teaching differential equations on engineering students' ability to construct and interpret…

Mika Okabe – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2024
Education about catastrophes often begins with, and at times even focuses on, passing down catastrophe memories. For this education, catastrophe memories that are unique to the survivors must be translated carefully to ensure that they can be understood by successors who may not have experienced a catastrophe themselves. This study elaborates on…

Robert J. Sternberg – Gifted Education International, 2024
Giftedness is typically thought of as an individual characteristic. But the development and labeling of an individual as "gifted" is always a collective process and takes place embedded within local, sociocultural, and temporal contexts. The view of giftedness as individual is deceptive and results in faulty practice, such as the…

Vincent Denault – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
Despite decades of research and thousands of peer-reviewed articles on nonverbal communication written by a worldwide community of academics, a number of people in position of power, including security, justice and legal practitioners have embraced "body language" pseudoscience. This autoethnography aims to offer an otherwise…

Marissa E. Thompson; Sam Trejo – Sociology of Education, 2024
U.S. public schools are increasingly segregated by income, resulting in substantial educational inequality among U.S. schoolchildren. We conducted a nationally representative survey to explore the relationship between parental beliefs about and preferences regarding school segregation. Using experimental manipulation, we tested if learning about…

Sabrina Barakat – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Resonance is a fundamental chemistry concept first introduced to students in General Chemistry I, reintroduced in Organic Chemistry I, and then utilized throughout other higher-level chemistry courses. A molecule or ion can be said to exhibit resonance when it can be represented by two or more chemical structures (i.e., Lewis structures) that…

Akila Nallabelli; Heidi L. Lujan; Stephen E. DiCarlo – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
The movement of air into and out of the lungs is facilitated by changes in pressure within the thoracic cavity relative to atmospheric pressure, as well as the resistance encountered by airways. In this process, the movement of air into and out of the lungs is driven by pressure gradients established by changes in lung volume and intra-alveolar…

Recent research has shown a growing interest in myths about teaching and learning and their prevalence among different populations. However, little is known about the extent to which these myths are prevalent among high school students. Future research must focus on methods that best support dispelling these myths to promote high school students…

Lucy A. Watson; Elizabeth B. Harkey; Angela T. Barlow – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Barlow et al. (2018) discussed three types of mistakes worthy of inspection: procedural errors, inappropriate solution processes, and misconceptions. Here, the authors focus on procedural errors, as these often led the teachers in their professional development project to limit their inspection of mistakes to correcting. Despite this narrow focus,…

This study aims to investigate the potential correlation between pseudoscientific beliefs and media literacy among pre-service teachers. In this study, a survey method was conducted. The research group consists of 332 pre-service teachers from a state university. Data were collected using two Likert scales, one on media literacy and the other on…

Lee Jerome; Ben Kisby; Steve McKay – British Educational Research Journal, 2024
This article draws on data from a specially commissioned representative survey, which elicited responses from 7691 teachers in primary and secondary schools in England, to examine how teachers perceive young people's engagement with a variety of different conspiracy theories in school settings and how they respond to them. Approximately 40% of…

Sarah J. Parks; Hyung Chol Yoo; Alisia G. T. T. Tran – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2024
The present study examined the effects on the role of color-blind racial attitudes on the link between internalization of the model minority myth and race-related stress. Using a sample of 309 (176 males and 133 females) Asian American college students, the present study examined the relationship between color-blind racial ideology (i.e.,…
