This study presents a grounded theory analysis of intellectual…

Background: Inquiry-based learning (IbL) has significantly contributed to science education, and this impact can be enhanced with technology. Augmented Reality (AR) offers 3D visualisation and interactive experiences, whereas Video-based Learning (VbL) provides narratives with visual and audio support. Both methods aid students in exploring,…

In response to the debates on the effectiveness of growth mindset interventions and their applicability in various cultural contexts, the study applied a localized intervention program in a rural school in China' Yangtze River Delta region through a randomized controlled experiment and evaluates its effects longitudinally using the…

Students' creativity levels were measured using a creativity test at the beginning and…

This study examines the impact of integrating Design Thinking and Maker Education into project-based learning (PBL) activities on primary school students' self-efficacy and motivation in Science, Technology, and Design. Drawing on Bandura's social cognitive theory, the study addresses the gap in empirical research at the primary education level,…

This study investigates physics instructors' acceptance and implementation of generative AI (GenAI) in physics education, guided by Rogers' diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory, focusing on its five-stage innovation-decision process: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Two survey versions were developed--one for…

There is currently little known about the passion of health and physical education preservice teachers. Being passionate for your content areas is a crucial component of effective teaching, so do students who are dual-enrolled have the same passion for both health education and physical education? The purpose of this study was to collect and…

Writing explanations is widely recognized as an effective strategy to promote meaningful learning outcomes. However, most research focused on writing explanations for fictitious peers, with limited investigation into the benefits of writing for actual peers, particularly considering the influence of peer relationship closeness.

This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific professional development program for Palestinian EFL teachers, aiming to understand its…

While artificial intelligence in language learning has garnered extensive research attention, the specific roles of motivation and digital literacy (DL) in shaping students' self-regulated language learning within AI remain largely unexplored. Based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this study endeavoured to understand how learning…

In Australia, there has been increased attention to attracting Indigenous peoples into higher education but, despite a recent growth in enrolment numbers, they remain severely underrepresented. This underrepresentation is particularly notable among Indigenous males, who are the least likely to attend. In this paper, we investigate the experiences…

Major switching is a common occurrence in higher education institutions worldwide, with over one-third of students changing their academic focus at least once during their undergraduate studies.
