Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) refers to the content-specific knowledge that teachers use to promote students' learning of specific subject matter. PCK comprises multiple knowledge components that interact with each other when enacted in teachers' instructional practices. For many years, researchers lacked a robust methodological approach to…

In this paper we argue that the complexity of education systems can lead to a lack of coherence in the implementation of policy. More effective educational change requires policymakers and researchers to pay more attention to supporting teachers in classrooms. As an example, we consider decades of research attempts in STEM education to implement…

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a form of distance education courses. They have been celebrated as revolutionizing the way learners access education and the way colleges and universities could expand education on a global scale beyond their traditional campuses. The purpose of this study is to identify the pedagogical strategies used for…

Multiple Intelligences are various skills and talents possessed by students in solving their learning problems so that students can solve learning problems amazingly. However, the application of Multiple Intelligences-based learning has not been widely applied in schools because not many people know the concepts and privileges of learning. And…

Suicide is a major public health issue in the United States and schools of social work have an important role to play in educating future social workers in suicide prevention.
