To ensure adequate writing support for children, a profound understanding of the subskills of text quality is essential. Writing theories have already helped to better understand the contribution of different subskills to text quality, but empirical work is often limited to more general low-level transcription skills like handwriting fluency and…

To promote computational thinking in mathematics education, Scratch is used to foster students' computational thinking and mathematical understanding. However, students face challenges in block-based programming environments, such as having low motivation, high anxiety, and cognitive loads. This study combined the pedagogical values of Geogebra…

The psychological state of interest depends, among other factors, on the individual's prior interest as well as on the situationally perceived need satisfaction for relatedness, competence, and autonomy. Regarding out-of-school learning in biology education, the extent to which this is equally true remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to…

Entomology is a foundational subject in the sciences and is often required in curriculum standards for K-12 education because insects allow students to learn about animals in a controlled way. As a result, entomology education is a common yet frequently overlooked aspect of academic learning. To better understand the role an interactive insect…

Background: Students with learning disabilities often struggle to achieve expected academic performance despite average or above-average intelligence. Reading comprehension, a cognitive process involving multiple mental skills, is particularly challenging for these students, with approximately 80% experiencing difficulties. Aims: This study…

The poles are recognized as the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth. These extremes are defined differently in terms of cartography, magnetism, geography, and the polar star. In Turkey, numerous activities have been carried out concerning the polar regions, such as the establishment of a scientific research camp and meteorological…

An examination of middle school students' attitudes towards mathematics and their mathematical competence is the central goal of this study. The sample is comprised of 998 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students from middle schools in the Fethiye district of Mugla province in the 2021-2022 academic year. The attitudes of the middle school students…

Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 participated in a monthlong experiential program conducted at a residential camp. The children were deemed "at risk" due to one or more of the following concerns: poor academic performance, behavioral issues, and extremely low self-esteem. The program consisted of tutoring in social issues and academic…

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of digital-based learning media innovation in improving students' motivation and learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects at elementary school level. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study method on fifth grade students at an elementary school in Indonesia.…

This study investigated the effectiveness of interactive videos on English language achievement and attitudes among Turkish secondary school students. While interactive videos have shown promise in language education, empirical evidence regarding their impact on secondary school students' achievement and attitudes remains limited. Using a…

When the studies on the effectiveness of visual programming language are examined, it is seen that studies on coding teaching have been carried out frequently recently. In this study, Scratch was used as a teaching tool in teaching science lessons. In this way, a new perspective has been brought to Scratch applications. In the related study, the…

This study examined how mathematics anxiety, trait emotional intelligence, and mathematics self-concept predict calculation fluency, numerical operations, and mathematical reasoning in students with and without mathematics learning difficulties (MLD). Participants (N = 326) were third- to fifth-grade students from China who completed standardized…

Interest in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education and design thinking has risen as a way to equip students with 21st century skills, needed to solve complex real-world problems. However, integrating STEAM based design thinking challenges in the classroom poses challenges for educators, particularly in areas such…

This study examines the impact of the Cooperative Learning Evaluation Programme (CLEP) on social interaction of primary school students in China. The study involved 165 participants, consisting of students in grades 3-6, aged between 8 to 12 years, from a suburban primary school in Beijing. The CLEP combines individual and group evaluations,…

This study followed a cohort of former ELLs for two years after they exited the EL program. The exit school year for this cohort was between August 2022 and June 2023. We compared their academic achievement in English language arts (ELA) and math with a cohort of students who were never English learners (non-ELL). We used propensity score matching…
