The evolution of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) pedagogy into the public school system has been an initiative since the 1970s. This has failed timelessly because of the lack of professional development and framework for teaching this curriculum. Participants understood that STEM is an important concept for their students.…

Dual enrollment is an early college opportunity for high school students who are in an eligible high school class with a qualified high school instructor. Research has shown that participation in an early college program like dual enrollment increases college persistence and retention rates post high school. However, students from underrepresented…

This study sought to determine what undergraduate science students envision when asked to picture a scientist at work. Stereotypical understandings of who becomes a scientist and what the work involves may deter young people from STEM careers. The Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST) and variations have been used over 40 years to explore student…

With increasing numbers of students from refugee backgrounds, many Australian schools are struggling to minimise the educational disparity between refugee students and their same age peers. Faced with diverse needs and limited resources, educators must decide whether to distribute targeted resources equally, ensuring all students are given…

Digital math assessments with bilingual accommodations allow multilingual learners to use their entire linguistic repertoire to showcase their knowledge and skills. The bilingual accommodations, which include tools like language translation and audio prompts in both English and Spanish, are designed to be adaptable, giving multilingual learners…

In the digital age, the range of digital technologies used in mathematics education grows. Since beliefs are affective-cognitive elements that significantly determine teachers' behavior in the classroom, they are an interesting field of research in mathematics education. A review of previous research has identified different groups of beliefs…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) education in primary schools has received a great deal of attention globally, and it is thus important to investigate primary school students' perceptions and understanding of AI learning. Therefore, in this study, 673 drawings of conceptions of AI learning by third to sixth grade students were collected. Firstly, a…

This study delves into how the presentation medium of texts impacts students' reading comprehension and attitudes. Employing a quasi-experimental mixed-method approach, it explores the effects of e-books on EFL students' comprehension and attitudes toward reading. A total of 28 female EFL students enrolled in the preparatory year program (PYP) at…

Due to the features of immersive learning and without the restrictions of time and place, virtual reality (VR) is commonly used in learning areas. For investigating functional design in the VR learning environment, previous literature proposed a series of theoretical models and strategies without considering the key factors for their development.…

This paper examines (1) teacher candidates' knowledge of recent migration trends and language accreditation policies, (2) their attitudes towards language testing for migration, and (3) changes in their perceptions after exposure to training and migrant testimonies. Conducted over two years (2021-2023), this mixed-methods study involved 395…

This paper presents an analysis of two surveys that were conducted in an Australian university's School of Education, investigating how students and staff understood the inherent requirements of their courses. The survey results highlight that despite there being no explicit written inherent requirement statements for these courses both staff and…
