Effective student onboarding provides a powerful tool for fostering student success, particularly for the diverse community college student population, including adult learners, full-time workers and dually-enrolled students. This brief explores how Catawba Valley Community College (Catawba Valley) redesigned its onboarding process by expanding…

Creating a sense of community and belonging for students is a desired outcome for residence life staff. This qualitative study explored how campus housing directors defined a sense of belonging and how they implemented curriculum, programs, and services to enhance residents' sense of connection and community. Utilizing semi-structured interviews,…

Transdisciplinary invention projects based on traditional and digital fabrication technologies engage young people in designing and making complex artifacts and constitute a central aspect of future-oriented education. In Finland, comprehensive school students (aged 7-15) from all over the country can practice their inventive skills in the annual…

Students in distance education face high demands for self-regulation, within which goal focus can play varying roles. The current study examined the (in)congruence between outcome and process-focused goals, and whether the nature and degree of this (in)congruence are associated with academic engagement in distance higher education, considering the…

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…

This study compares the self-reported attitudes and beliefs of materials designers at a private English language school in Thailand regarding Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT) with their practice of materials design for speaking and listening classes.

The research followed a two-phase developmental design. In Phase 1, the framework was constructed through a systematic synthesis of…

Many studies have examined representational abilities, but few have explored the use of lesson study activities based on didactical design research, which integrated STEM to solve problems in higher education. This research aimed to develop a STEM-based blended lecture design that optimized the representation abilities of prospective mathematics…

To ensure quality and equitable education requires an understanding of how all learners function within a learning environment, and the ways in which teachers' pedagogy can support inclusive practice. Drawing on research from a rural school in Western Australia, this paper identifies how furniture can be used as a tool to support student agency…

No previous systematic reviews have focused on which targeted interventions successfully raise educational outcomes (i.e. reading, writing, mathematics, science and general attainment outcomes) for students with Down syndrome. This study reports on the findings from a larger pre-registered systematic review of targeted interventions for students…

In recent years, supported by digital technology, virtual reality (VR) has brought about a paradigm shift in education. Students can experience the interactivity and immersive learning offered by VR technology in virtual worlds. This study applies virtual reality as a new instructional mode in field trip courses and explores the factors…

The purpose of this cross-case analysis is to understand how mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) educators integrated social justice (SJ)-oriented computer science (CS) instruction into middle school classrooms. An integrated curriculum synthesises content and methods from two or more fields to teach curricular concepts and solve complex…
