The "Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education" report establishes a set of five core concepts that students should build an understanding of throughout college biology programs. While student conceptual understanding is well studied in 4-year contexts, there are minimal studies in community college contexts. Community…

This study aims to examine the extent of conceptual knowledge of students with and at risk of learning disabilities on entrepreneurial business ideas in the region where they reside. Clinical interviews were utilized to collect data in this study, which aims to reveal the current situation. The business ideas discussed in the interviews were…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming education, yet many institutions lack a comprehensive framework to integrate AI effectively. This paper develops an AI Education Competency Framework to guide the integration of AI in educational settings through a systematic literature review. Methodologically, a rigorous systematic literature…

A key consideration in providing effective reading instruction is the selection of a text. However, little is known about how preservice teachers are prepared to understand text complexity and how they leverage that knowledge in their text selection practices. Accordingly, this design/development study explored how preservice teachers (n = 81)…

International student numbers are growing globally, yet their inclusion and engagement within university communities remain underexplored. Existing research highlights the importance of international students' participation in extracurricular activities (ECAs) and student government organisations (SGOs) in fostering inclusion and belonging.…

To inform strategies for providing effective student support in the early stages of a chemistry degree programme, a longitudinal study of first year chemistry student confidence levels in core topics was conducted at three points over a one-year period. A student-staff team co-created a confidence matrix that was used as the basis of the study.…

The accelerating adoption of AI in education highlights the need for an assistant that is explicitly grounded in competency-based learning to develop learners' digital competencies. This study proposes the AI Assistant Framework on Competency-Based Learning for Digital Competency Development (AICoLED) and evaluates its appropriateness through…

The objectives of the present study were, on the one hand, to analyse the internal consistency of four questionnaires referring to the perception and knowledge of inclusion and cooperative learning (CL), and on the other, to discover the perception and knowledge of inclusion and CL in Physical Education (PE) of university students studying courses…

Adolescent romantic relationships are often characterized as exploratory and fleeting; however, they have lasting impacts on individual well-being and relationship quality during and beyond adolescence, shaping future relationship expectations and quality (Collins, 2003; Madsen & Collins, 2011). Adolescent relationship education is an…

Adolescence is a vital stage of human development, characterized by significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. During this period, adolescents face numerous challenges, including academic stress, mental health issues, social pressures, and identity formation. Teachers play a significant role in shaping students' academic and personal…

Children learn the cardinalities of the first numbers one, two, three and four before they learn how counting tracks cardinality for all numbers. It may be that when children start to understand counting, they also discover how numbers relate to one another in a structured number system. Do children who understand that the cardinality of a set is…

Non-experimental value-added models have been shown to yield forecast-unbiased estimates of teacher and school effects. To investigate, we propose a dynamic state-space model of knowledge accumulation, in which test scores are imperfect measures of knowledge, and students receive temporary and persistent shocks to their stock of knowledge each…

The current study examined how prospective first- and second-grade mathematics teachers define the polygon diagonals concept, how they reconstruct their definition during and following an intervention, and how their concept images develop over time. Twenty-three prospective teachers participated in the study, during which they were asked to…

Background: The equality of mental health care must be improved for Australian youth who experience disadvantage (YED). The unique needs of YED means that it is essential mental health help-seeking is understood through their lens. Objective: This systematic review aimed to understand (1) what is currently known about mental health literacy (MHL)…

The purpose of this case study, informed by a Lakatosian perspective, is to identify how an alternative conception that originates in present learning but is related directly to subsequent learning contexts can be constructed. Before the study, one of the authors found by accident that a student who had learned about Avogadro's principle and…
