Responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR) education is essential for the preparation of future scientists but is often overlooked for undergraduate scholars. To address this concern, the Ethics Network for Course-based Opportunities in Undergraduate Research (ENCOUR) engaged facilitators of course-based undergraduate research experiences…

Mathematics intervention research has established several effective interventions for building accuracy and fluency of math fact computation, as well as components that may improve student learning rates. While several evidence-based interventions promoting math fact accuracy and fluency exist, further work is needed to determine additional…

Diffusion is a critical component of the Physiology Core Concept of flow down gradients and is fundamental to understanding how ions, gases, or signaling molecules travel short distances in the body. When asked about diffusion, students often reason successfully using the "things move from areas of high to low concentration" heuristic…

The integration of advanced generative AI has profoundly influenced higher education, especially in language learning. In Japan's exam-focused and teacher-centered English education system, students have few opportunities to use generative AI to enhance critical skills like analysis, evaluation, and creativity. Learning often remains passive, with…

Context: Remote and online learning have become features of K-12 education since the COVID-19 school closures. Despite the increasing presence of online classrooms, the theoretical and ethical dimensions of this shift remain underexplored. While much attention has been paid to issues of access, equity, and instructional design, less consideration…

Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the Continued Influence Effect, CIE). The present experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (1) learner age; and (2) length of delay between retraction and…

Inconsistency in real-world judgments can cause random unfairness, injustice and misallocation of resources. In their recent monograph Kahneman, Sibony, and Sunstein (2021) analyse judgment inconsistency or "Noise," examine its sources and propose remedies. In this commentary on Kahneman et al., we reflect on the major concepts (such as…

Background: Science identity is widely regarded as a key predictor of students' persistence in STEM fields, while the brain drain in STEM fields is an urgent issue for countries to address. Based on previous studies, it is logical to suggest that epistemological beliefs about science and reflective thinking contribute to the development of science…

The purpose of this study is to discover the main themes and categories of the research studies regarding digital literacy. To serve this purpose, the databases of WoS/Clarivate Analytics, Proquest Central, Emerald Management Journals, Jstor Business College Collections and Scopus/Elsevier were searched with four keyword-combinations and final…

This article provides an overview of the diverse ways in which computational thinking has been operationalised in the literature. Computational thinking has attracted much interest and debatably ranks in importance with the time-honoured literacy skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic. However, learning interventions in this subject have…

The assessment of student understanding, and of student reasoning skills more broadly, hinges upon the ability to elicit and interpret student-generated explanations. In practice, however, the explanations that students provide in response to traditional prompts do not always reveal as much about student reasoning as teachers and researchers in…

Today's students are motivated to understand the world around them, and in so doing, they question things that their professors take for granted. Students are naturally drawn to question the world around them, and as they do so, they are developing frameworks to better organize their questions and the answers. The author understands that students…

This paper reports on a study that investigated young children's responses to a range of probabilistic tasks. A central aspect of the study was our examination of the children's use of subjective thinking. Most research that has been conducted in relation to young children's probabilistic thinking has focused on the extent to which young children…

The aim of this study was to examine the computational thinking skill levels and online self-regulatory learning levels of pre-service teachers in terms of various variables and to determine the relationship between their computational thinking skill levels and online selfregulatory learning levels. The design of the research is the correlational…

In a previous article, "The Shape of Reasoning: Using Geometry to Promote the Reasoning Proficiency Strand" (EJ1286217), the author put forward the argument that no medium is more powerful than geometry as a vehicle for developing the mathematical proficiency strand of Reasoning. Because geometry is so visual and tactile, the…
