This quasi-experimental study investigates the comparative effectiveness of inquiry-based learning, STEAM, and Guided Inquiry-STEAM (GI-STEAM) in fostering elementary students' creative thinking skills and scientific attitudes. A total of 115 students from public elementary schools in Semarang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, were given a…

While formative assessment is a widely valued instructional approach to support meaningful learning, putting it into classroom practice remains a challenge, also because the time resources required may conflict with other goals. In a cluster-randomized controlled intervention study with 29 teachers and 604 students (mean age 15.6 years) at…

Design-based research (DBR) has proven to be a robust methodology for transforming educational practice through a systematic cycle of analysis, design, development, and real-world implementation. Its distinctive strength lies in fostering close collaboration between researchers and educators within authentic learning contexts, producing design…

The use of technologies in mathematics education at all levels has been discussed extensively for a number of years. It is one of the few themes that was the object of two ICMI studies, the most recent being published in 2010. Two new approaches, emerging lately in the teaching and learning of Mathematics at all levels, will be discussed:…

Research internships, designed to enhance students' scientific knowledge, research skills, and confidence, typically focus on a single science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) discipline and miss the opportunity to facilitate the development of interdisciplinary collaboration skills crucial for translational research. As part of…

Background: A single-case design focuses on individual performance and measures the causal relationships between variables (Kazdin, 2019). This experimental design enables researchers to measure the learning behaviors of individual participants over time across phases and assess the effectiveness of an instructional strategy in improving or…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to empirically test whether or not an online business simulation game (OBSG) can enhance key soft skills and self-perceived employability. Design/methodology/approach: This research employed a blended learning approach to syllabus delivery. Five soft skills and self-perceived employability were measured before…

The provision of a profitable education in Mathematics is important at a cross-curricular level, since this subject finds room in a plethora of academic paths, not limited to the most scientific or technological curricula. In particular, this applies to the security and defence area, where several skills related to mathematical reasoning, such as…

Aim/Purpose: This study examined the understudied perceptions of higher education instructors on the use of art-based AI generators in digital art, design, and creative-based courses and answered the research questions: (1) how disruptions by generative artificial intelligence (GenAIs) are impacting teaching, and (2) what are the major factors…

Active citizenship is essential for promoting democratic values and social cohesion in educational settings. The purpose of this research were to investigate and analyze empirical data to propose effective guidelines for cultivating active citizenship among secondary school teachers under Thailand's Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC).…

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the learning processes among employees on large dairy farms and investigates the potential for learning and employee-driven innovation (EDI) to contribute to sustainable dairy production from the perspectives of animal welfare, social responsibility and economic aspects. Design/methodology/approach: Data were…

Widespread access to clean water and sanitation supports the dual goals of improving public health and protecting environmental health globally. Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS, i.e., septic systems) are an integral part of the water infrastructure that contributes to these goals in the United States and around the world. There is…

Interactive serious games enhance science-based communication and promote deeper learning about sustainable development. It is yet undiscovered that how can AI-augmented interactive experiences enhance the engagement and spread awareness. This study proposes an AI-augmented digital serious game in public installation format. First, the study…

Discovery boxes offer teachers an innovative approach to restoring social studies as a central component of early elementary education. They address the dual needs of developing historical knowledge and fostering the social-emotional learning (SEL) critical for students to thrive in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world. This article…

Interest in computational thinking (CT) in the scientific community has increased significantly in the last 4 years, as evidenced by the numerous systematic reviews carried out. However, there is a lack of reviews that update the emerging conceptualization of CT and which also examine the roles of the school curriculum and teachers in the face of…
