This article explores the integration of ChatGPT into instructional design, utilizing a backward planning framework to align learning objectives, assessments, and activities for enhanced educational outcomes. Grounded in the principles of Understanding by Design (UbD) the paper introduces a threestep human-AI hybrid co-design model that enables…

Coding and digital game design activities have been used in recent years to contribute to students' academic achievement and twenty-first century skills. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the 5E model enriched with coding and digital game design activities (5EECD) on gifted students' academic achievement and problem-solving skills. A…

In this essay, we argue that both critique and self-criticism are needed to advance, professionalize, and internationalize the field of music education. We identify three "gaps" in the field: the gap between scholarly work and practice, the gap between North American and Northern European interpretations of foundational concepts, and the…

This longitudinal study assessed the career aspirations and ultimate careers of 28 academically talented American girls across three time periods: Time 1 (7th/8th grade), Time 2 (11th/12th grade), and Time 3 (current study, 21 years post-Time 1). Two decades after the initial study, these participants are all in their 30s, identify as female, and…

We develop a conceptual framework for understanding and predicting teacher shortages at the state, region, district, and school levels. We then empirically examine how teacher shortages vary geographically and by subject using data on unfilled teaching positions in Tennessee traditional public schools during Fall 2019. We find that teacher…

Compassion and empathy are foundational to nursing education, influencing patient outcomes and fostering holistic care. Despite their critical role, integrating these values into curricula often encounters challenges, such as limited standardisation, institutional constraints, and the difficulty of assessing emotional competencies. This article…

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in healthcare is regarded as important by professionals, as it increases the quality of care while decreasing costs. Interprofessional education (IPE) is a prerequisite for IPC and influences learners' attitudes, knowledge, and collaboration skills. Since attitudes shape behavior, understanding how they are…

As societies age, Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia have become more common. Previous research has shown that people with more education are less likely to develop dementia or have it occur later in life. The authors show that this relationship is likely causal, both in the United States and in six lower- and middle-income countries.…

Speaker diarization, the process of identifying "who spoke when" in audio recordings, is essential for understanding classroom dynamics. However, classroom settings present distinct challenges, including poor recording quality, high levels of background noise, overlapping speech, and the difficulty of accurately capturing children's…

The study uses the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) algorithm to predict the factors affecting the programming performance (PPE) (low, high) of the students receiving computer programming education. The participants of the study consist of 763 students who received programming education. In the analysis of the data, the…

Regulations and policy in early care and education (ECE) is based largely on the idea that structural elements of ECE, such as child-adult ratio, predict teacher-child interactions that then predict child developmental outcomes. This structure-process-outcome model was initially proposed when many states had minimal ECE quality standards. Our…

This research aimed to develop and evaluate a creative leadership program for secondary school teachers under Provincial Administrative Organizations in Northeastern Thailand. Employing a comprehensive research and development methodology, the study proceeded through three sequential phases. In Phase 1, we analyzed the components of creative…

Education Transformation in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era demands early-childhood teachers to possess pedagogical competencies that are not only theoretical but also innovative, creative, and contextual. These competencies are essential for supporting the holistic development of young children, encompassing cognitive, social, emotional, and…

The field of vocabulary instruction has witnessed the emergence of three models that operationalize the construct of elaborate processing and thus help predict the effectiveness of vocabulary learning activities: Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH), Involvement Load Hypothesis Plus (ILH Plus), and Technique Feature Analysis (TFA). However, no…

Assessing achievement is a complex task due to its dependence on multiple factors and the hierarchical structure of educational data, yet surveys like TIMSS offer valuable insights into its determining factors like students' mathematics anxiety. However, disregarding the nested structure of data and ignoring the assumptions of models causes poor…
