This study investigated the impact of discussing mathematical events on in-service Mathematics teachers' professional noticing of geometric definitions. Fifty-two teachers engaged in discussions in which they analyzed students' thinking regarding rhombus definitions and the teachers' noticing skills were assessed through pre- and post-tests…

The transformation of Islamic universities in Indonesia from IAIN to UIN has not only opened up space for modern science, but also significantly altered the availability of space for the Islamic knowledge at their heart. Could it be that this transformation does not reinforce their Islamic scholarly excellence, but instead potentially causes a…

This study examines how Scratch can influence mathematical generalization in secondary school students. Real-life problems were adapted and presented to students as part of a problem-solving process. The study focused on the generalization process in terms of mathematization and verification. Data was collected through screen recordings and…

In this qualitative inquiry, we explored teachers' experiences and sensemaking processes with digital mathematical task design (or tool-based math problem posing) in their natural form and context. A purposive sample of math teachers from three schools attended teacher workshops where they designed applied math problems using an architecture…

Erroneous and malpractice claim cases reflect knowledge gaps and complex contextual factors. Incorporating such cases into clinical reasoning education (CRE) may enhance learning and diagnostic skills. However, they may also elicit anxiety among learners, potentially impacting learning. As a result, the optimal utilization of such cases in CRE…

Helping teachers implement effective classroom management practices is crucial to fostering a positive learning environment, student achievement, and teacher job satisfaction. Having a reliable tool can help school-based consultants monitor teachers' implementation of these strategies and provide coaching when they do not. Therefore, we developed…

This study investigated whether lower secondary school Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teachers' professional development (PD) engagement varied by school context in regard to the proportions of English learners (ELs) and examined the relationship between STEM teachers' PD engagement in teaching for diversity and teacher…

Purpose: This paper aims to demonstrate the work carried out in a higher education institution (HEI) to raise awareness in its community about the impact of food on climate change and provide information on the carbon footprint of meals. This paper starts from the analysis of the (anonymous) responses to the questionnaires used in the…

Purpose: This study examined trends in school readiness in the context of a community-university partnership (CUP) supported by funding from the local county through the Children and Families Commission. The study describes the influence of diverse community efforts on school readiness, focusing on the role of prekindergarten attendance in…

This brief highlights design considerations for cost studies of child care and early education (CCEE) workforce development strategies. Cost studies can offer valuable information to CCEE practitioners, decision-makers, and researchers to help them understand how resources have been allocated in existing strategies. Cost studies can also be…

The objective of this research was to investigate summer in-service primary school student teachers' attitudes towards the benefits of cooperative learning (CL) and their awareness of its five basic principles. This research was conducted at Hawassa University in Sidama Regional State of Ethiopia. A descriptive research design with a mixed-methods…

Inclusive approaches to leadership in schools rely on values to build a shared culture. Within the "Care and Support for Teaching and Learning" school community, values help us focus our attention on what we consider most important when making choices. They inform our identity and our vision of the future, and the social, political and…

With ever-evolving workforce trends and needs, there is an increasing need for educators who can foster multi-disciplinary skills such as creativity, problem solving, and systems thinking in K-12 students. To support this shift, this two-year study examined how engineering and human-centered design course materials, matched with coordinating field…

Teachers value practices that are supported by research (Buren et al., 2021). However, research often is not shared in a way that helps teachers use these evidence-based practices (EBPs) to meet the needs of students with disabilities (Burns & Ysseldyke, 2009). This has created a pervasive challenge in the field of special education known as…

This study aims to enhance primary school students' entrepreneurial skills by integrating STEM education. Employing a qualitative action research design, the study involved 19 fourth-grade students (aged 9-10) selected via convenience sampling. Over a six-week period totaling 18 instructional hours, researchers implemented two STEM-based…
