This study explores different conceptualizations of creativity within an educational setting, using textual coding and network mapping on data from a creativity-focused course. Two primary conceptualizations emerged: the Freedom-Possession and Playful-Adaptation conceptualizations. Each was associated with unique practices and elements of the…

In this article, we present a (co)reflexive analysis of the multiple adaptations of an English as a Second Language reading curriculum for primary students in Hong Kong during the COVID-19 pandemic through our partnership as a practitioner-researcher and an external researcher. Adopting the principles of interactional ethnography, we examined the…

When elementary schools integrate literacy and science instruction, they create rich learning environments that allow students to develop an understanding of science ideas while improving their reading, writing, and speaking skills at the same time. Neither subject takes a back seat. Literacy instruction supports science and science instruction…

The Food and Health subject is a mandatory subject in primary and lower secondary schools in Norway and has many similarities to the internationally known subject Home Economics. This study aimed to examine how learning activities are structured in Food and Health education, both from the teacher's and the student's perspective. Momentary time…

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the differential effects of video modeling (VM) and picture-based interventions (PI) for teaching children with ASD to recognize emotions in context. The study used an adapted alternating treatments design. One girl and three boys in China, 4.5-5 years old with autism spectrum disorder,…

Empirical work exploring additional language (L+) learning emotions has both proliferated and expanded its focus over the past 15 years. The current article explores one possibility for responding to the challenge of capturing and describing emotions in order to furnish a more contextualized, multidimensional picture of emotions in L+ learning:…

Recent research has shown that enhancing instructional videos with questions, such as self-explanation prompts, and thus shifting the process from receptive to constructive learning, is beneficial to learning. However, the inclusion of questions is often confounded with the implementation of learner pacing through navigation features. Furthermore,…

Assessing a student's acquisition rates (ARs) is a reliable way to determine how many new words should be taught in one lesson without reducing retention. Exceeding a student's AR can result in frustration and problem behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of AR on the off-task behavior of kindergarten students while…

Early childhood education is essential for students' long-term academic success. From laying the groundwork for algebraic thinking in kindergarten to developing math fluency through problem-solving and strengthening reading comprehension through knowledge building, these articles offer valuable perspectives. Discover the importance of phonemic…

This study explores the relationship between teachers' (N = 168) demographic factors (gender, grade level, content area, age, and educational level) and the frequency of using readalouds in their classrooms. Data analysis revealed significant relationships between the frequency of read-alouds and gender, grade level, and content area. Female…

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the overall effect and impact of moderators in the context of STEM education. This study first summarized previous meta-analysis studies on STEM education and pinpointed gaps in the current literature, such as inconsistent results and the mixed effects of moderators. It also assessed critical…

This article discusses the relationship with time in early childhood practice and research. It is based on a 2-year study, Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child (2020-21). The study was underpinned by a concern about time pressures, testing, and measurement within the early childhood education and care sector and a desire to seek alternative…

A national curriculum for the study of computing became compulsory in English secondary schools in September 2014, replacing the study of information and communications technology with computer science (CS). This posed difficulties for teachers and students who did not have knowledge or experience of programming. This study was designed to…

The aim of this research is to identify the difficulties that are faced by classroom teachers in teaching mathematics and to put a current perspective. In the research, phenomenological design from the qualitative research method was applied. Participants were determined by criterion sampling, which is one of the purposive sampling methods.…

The purpose of this state-of-the-art review is to provide a general overview of recent research on time distribution and second language (L2) learning with special implications for classroom settings. Several studies have been performed to examine how to best distribute the hours of L2 practice to maximize learning by comparing conditions that…
