Higher rates of socio-emotional difficulties for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children have been reported compared with their typical hearing (TH) peers. Nonetheless, there has to date been limited examination on this issue internationally and no such examination in the Republic of Ireland. In this study, data was collected from parents using an…

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…

Introduction" Previous research has found that family factors predict adolescents' academic burnout, but few studies have described the mechanisms underlying the relationship. At the same time, there is a lack of longitudinal data on the possible mechanisms. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family functioning and academic…

This study examines the implementation of environmental education in the STEAM approach for sustainability. A STEAM model for engaging students in environmental sustainability programs through problem-solving. The main focus of the study was to identify how the pre-service teacher practices the STEAM innovation in mathematics classrooms. Five…

This study investigates the development of students' problem-solving skills in technology-enhanced learning (TEL) environments, focusing on the interplay between domain knowledge, metacognitive strategies, and fading scaffolding. Through a design-based research approach, we engaged three eighth-grade classes (N=75) in a physics-based…

The days of "deep learning for some, rote learning for most" are over. Project based learning (PBL) is a powerful educational approach that empowers students to: (1) Engage with authentic content; (2) Co-construct knowledge; (3) Work to solve real-world problems; and (4) Develop lifelong learning skills. Access to these foundational…

This article presents a design experiment in which generative artificial intelligence (GAI) was topically integrated into a Problem-based Learning module in a pedagogical study programme with the intention to generate insights for both, future GAI-in-PBL practice and theory. Based on various data (student reports, notes, a focus group interview,…

Constant Time Delay (CTD) is a structured, error-reducing teaching strategy with promising applications for students with mathematical learning difficulties (MLD). In this study, we systematically replicated CTD in a German inclusive classroom to evaluate its effects on multiplication fact fluency. Two fourth-grade boys with persistent…

Purpose: This study aims to offer a model solution for the educational ecosystem transformation to enable entrepreneurial responses to contemporary environmental challenges. Design/methodology/approach: The research applies the grounded theory, the process-based approach, comparative analysis, data analysis, systematised literature review and the…

The aim of this study was to investigation of the prospective science teachers' views on the problems (as are the waste of natural resources, the information pollution, sharing information without confirming their validity of information, communication problems among people, spending extra time and money, the laziness, the obesity, the…

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the initial psychometric properties and cultural adaptation of the School Belongingness Scale (SBS) in a sample of Iranian adolescents. Participants included 324 students, ranging in age between 12 and 18 years (M = 14.68, SD = 1.39). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that responses to the…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the dispositions of early career teacher educators as young academics toward sustainability and accountability for sustainability issues. Through their interpretations, concerns, awareness and ownership of sustainability, the study portrays how a global phenomenon is articulated specifically within the local…

Many students who experience difficulty with mathematics may also require behavioral support. We suggest educators create an appropriate scope and sequence for mathematics intervention by focusing on the critical mathematics content. Educators can then design the intervention with a common session structure. Finally, educators can embed and…

Successful math word-problem solving is difficult for some students. Getting the right answer involves students engaging correctly in an amalgamation of actions. Schema instruction is an instructional approach aimed at supporting students in identifying the underlying math problem structure to yield an appropriate solution plan. The focus of this…

Language skills play an important role in mathematics development. Students (7 to 10 years of age) learning school mathematics either in the same language used at home (first-language learners; n = 103) or in a different language (second-language learners; n = 57) participated in the study. Relations among cognitive skills (i.e., receptive…
