This study examines the potential of inclusive design in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to address the impact of stereotype threat, a significant barrier encountered by underrepresented groups, particularly in STEM education. As online learning opportunities grow, the demographic composition of course participants frequently does not reflect…

Purpose: Much of the literature investigating farmer engagement with digital technology has focused on farmer-centred adoption factors. However, more recent research has called for new user-centred approaches to technology design to promote more responsive development and ultimately more successful uptake. Methodology: Responding to these calls,…

The majority of what we compose, we compose for others. Because audience impact is central to the success of writing and designing, peer review tests how our compositions work in the world. Accordingly, we have built decades of scholarship establishing best practices for sharing our work with others, especially as new technologies emerge. This…

The purpose of the online course, Teaching Methodology Economics in the Further Education and Training Phase, is to expose student teachers to the online team-based learning (TBL) strategy as a collaborative teaching and learning approach that allows them to follow an organised procedure. To increase student engagement, accountability and…

Algorithm design is a vital skill developed in most undergraduate Computer Science (CS) programs, but few research studies focus on pedagogy related to algorithms coursework. To understand the work that has been done in the area, we present a systematic survey and literature review of CS Education studies. We search for research that is both…

In this design case, I discuss the design and development of an open educational resource textbook on teaching methods of early literacy, primarily geared toward preservice teachers in Iowa. This design case intends to provide an interdisciplinary example of an accessible, multimodal, interactive, contextually relevant, and culturally inclusive…

This study aims to investigate the correlation between curriculum autonomy among middle school teachers and their support for learner autonomy. The study employed a correlational survey design. Data were gathered utilizing the Curriculum Autonomy Scale and the Supporting Learner Autonomy Scale. The sample comprised 420 teachers employed in middle…

Over the past decade, there has been an increased emphasis on tailoring men's health promotion programs. To optimize outcomes, participatory action research that involves and elicits feedback from end-users has been highlighted as important to creating gender-responsive interventions. In this scoping review, we examine (a) how participatory action…

This research brief synthesizes decades of evidence to guide district and school leaders on how to design effective Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that expand access and improve student outcomes. It highlights that students who complete structured, multi-course CTE pathways see stronger graduation, earnings, and postsecondary…

One way to help frame a focus on problems instead of things is the Grand Challenges concept, which has been used in many other fields to date. Grand Challenges are an articulation of large-scale, complex problems that may be addressed through coordinated and sustained efforts but require long-term effort. Often, the articulation of Grand…

Background/purpose: While reading skills are important in EFL classrooms, EFL students in Indonesia encounter various challenges. Therefore, the present study aimed to provide insights related to the needs and perceptions of EFL students in reading courses. In addition, the study also explores how curriculum design and pedagogical practices can be…

This abstract presents an analysis of federal policies concerning rural, regional, and remote (RRR) teaching, focusing on initial teacher education and teaching quality within these areas. The study utilises Bacchi's 'What's the Problem Represented to Be?' (WPR) approach to interrogate the framing of RRR teaching issues within policy discourse.…

Achieving knowledge integration for deep learning requires students to construct well-connected knowledge structures by understanding and applying the central ideas of a concept. However, research on student learning in work and mechanical energy reveals persistent challenges in grasping fundamental concepts, particularly in connecting the…

This study investigated the effect of the science process skills-integrated inquiry-based approach (SPSIIBA) on grade 9 students' academic achievement in cell biology and their perception of SPSIIBA. The study used a mixed-method research approach with a quasi-experimental design. A total of 78 secondary school students participated in the study.…

In this article, we describe the theoretical and pragmatic considerations behind our development of a set of nine protocols and training materials for engaging prospective secondary mathematics teachers in live, interactive clinical simulations. Our designs are grounded in theoretical principles from situated cognition and variation theory and…
