High-quality programming projects for education are critically required in teaching. However, it is hard to develop those projects efficiently and artificially constrained by the lecturers' experience and background. The recent popularity of large language models (LLMs) has led to a great number of applications in the field of education, but…

This study investigates undergraduate STEM students' interpretation of quantities and quantitative relationships on graphical representations in biology (population growth) and chemistry (titration) contexts. Interviews (n = 15) were conducted to explore the interplay between students' covariational reasoning skills and their use of disciplinary…

Until recently, information on students at private colleges in Canada has been limited. Statistics Canada's Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) provides comprehensive data on current and recent students at Canadian colleges and universities that receive funding from a provincial or territorial ministry of education. The PSIS does not…

Scholarship, especially the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), can positively impact teaching and learning practices, yet there are many barriers to community college faculty engagement in these activities. Recognizing the important role of values in motivation and behaviors, the purpose of this study was to understand the perceived…

School leaders need effective, affordable approaches to retain their teacher workforce. We investigated a promising, low-cost option for school leaders to encourage teacher retention: subject-area specialization in elementary grades (K-5). Using data on North Carolina elementary grades teachers and schools in the 2011-2012 through 2015-2016…

Academic structure shapes and reflects institutional behaviors as well as the work done in, and outputs of, higher education organizations (HEOs). Despite this critical role, research on boundaries within academic structure is limited, even in work focusing on the relative presence of core and peripheral disciplines. We thus lack an understanding…

Education that does not include an understanding of the Internet and how to live with it, is deficient. This article describes how the Internet can be learned in schools, what the curriculum for such learning should be at various stages of schooling, what pedagogical methods should be used to achieve the learning objectives and what methods should…

In its various forms, acceleration continues to be an evidence-based and widely used service provided to gifted students but remains controversial and unsupported in legislation in most states. Case studies, current legislation, interviews with state directors of gifted education programs, and a deep dive into the 2018-2019 State of the States in…

The aim of this survey was to describe academic librarian roles in systematic reviews (SR) in any discipline, as a follow-up to a previous survey of Canadian academic health sciences librarians. A convenience sample of librarians at Canadian universities who support SRs were invited to complete a survey. Respondents were asked about their roles,…

Many countries have adopted integrative approaches to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. As preservice teachers with majors in mathematics and science are prospective targets for addressing the demand for STEM education, they are expected to develop professional identities as STEM teachers, in addition to…

An expanding evidence base has advocated for delivery of naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) within community systems, thus extending the reach of these practices to young autistic children. The current study examined provider-reported use of NBDIs within a Part C Early Intervention (EI) system and the extent to which…

While the significant impact of faculty feedback on student learning is well recognized, the intricate link between the quality of faculty feedback and students' deep approaches to learning, especially in the context of general education, has yet to be clarified. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study examined the relationship between…

This study explores how second language (L2) postgraduate writers from different disciplines at a Mexican university negotiate feedback on concerns about the structure of academic research genres (e.g., conference proposals, journal articles) with professional writing center tutors based in the United States, and it reports on those writers' main…

This study examines the process of program development for undergraduate-level courses in Turkey, focusing on the methodologies, models, and practices employed in curriculum design. The research adopts a systematic review approach to analyze 25 graduate theses published between 2010 and 2023, sourced from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK)…

The present research aimed to tease apart the meaning of the "student" identity in higher education by distinguishing the concepts and affordances of discipline-based social identity and organizational identity. Across three studies we examine discipline-based and organizational social identities' relations to educational outcomes and…
