The professional development of teachers is considered a central task of teacher training and therefore also for teaching technology education in an era of digitalization. The anchoring of technology and digital technologies is becoming a mandatory task in teaching especially due to curriculum requirements and an increasing importance of learning…

Discussions of 'diversity' in higher education are often limited to structural diversity (i.e. access to higher education based on demographic variables), which is just one form of diversity that impacts student learning outcomes. Others include curricular diversity (a measure of the interdisciplinary of the coursework) and interactional diversity…

In this paper we studied the personal mathematical work of 14 students in initial teacher training, in their first year of studies at a public university in Chile, based on two tasks on complex numbers. These tasks were set in a Computer Aided Assessment System (CAA) based on Moodle and Wiris and it was proposed to solve them using different…

Collaborative skills are crucial in knowledge-rich domains, such as medical diagnosing. The Collaborative Diagnostic Reasoning (CDR) model emphasizes the importance of high-quality collaborative diagnostic activities (CDAs; e.g., evidence elicitation and sharing), influenced by content and collaboration knowledge as well as more general social…

For a librarian with an innovator's mindset, inquiry can be a collaborative strategy for continual growth. When a librarian innovates with their community, radical, human-centered change is possible. According to the author, school librarians see the needs in the communities across grades, content areas, and demographics. The best advocacy is…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how church members describe the influence of pastoral transformational leadership to achieve the church's organizational vision and goals. The theoretical foundation for this study was Bernard Bass' (1985) transformational leadership theory. The research was guided by four questions,…

The need for problem-solving and creative thinking skills to be taught well in business studies classrooms can never be overemphasised due to the complexity of the problems and challenges faced by businesses in the 21st-century business environment. Teachers are, therefore, required to adopt pedagogies that would enable learners to acquire…

The purpose of this intervention study was to develop and evaluate a support model for teachers, designed to assist them in diagnosing students' (age 16-19 years) difficulties and providing feedback to support students' mathematical problem solving. Reporting on an iteration in a design research project, the results showed that the support helped…

The aim of this paper is to describe and analyze how a group of prospective teachers create problems to develop proportional reasoning either freely or from a given situation across different contexts, and the difficulties they encounter. Additionally, it identifies their beliefs about what constitutes a good problem and assesses whether these…

TVET in Malaysia is geared toward providing quality education, training, and resources but it still needs to be strengthened and reformed toward producing a more quality and skilled workforce. This study aimed to procure feedback from TVET curriculum key-players' (automotive) on the integration of automotive case-based simulation (CBS) as TVET…

Anxiety, an affective factor, is pivotal in language learners' success or failure. Findings pointed to its correlation with oral performance, test results, and language skills, namely listening and writing, but only a little with reading. At the current research site, a Vietnamese context, very little evaluation on reading anxiety in English…

This study aims to reveal the profile of open-start problem-solving with ethnomathematics regarding student learning styles. This research is a qualitative research study on 3 out of 31 students of Junior High School of 3 Magetan taken by purposive sampling. The three students carried out four stages: understanding the problem, planning…

Background: Even though monitoring and control enactment are key aspects of self-regulated learning (SRL), Adaptive learning technologies (ALTs) may reduce the need for learners to monitor and control their learning. Personalized dashboards are effective in supporting learners' monitoring and can potentially support control behaviour. Allowing…

Developmental changes in self-regulation are theorized to underlie adolescents' engagement in risky behaviors, physical health, mental health, and transition to adulthood. Two central processes involved in self-regulation, self-management (i.e. planning, concentration, and problem-solving) and disinhibition (e.g. distractibility and impulsivity)…

The capacity to navigate conflict and solve problems will persist as an essential skill of the future, even if today's students will be doing jobs that haven't been invented yet. What are we doing in schools right now to ensure students have these skills? For nearly a decade, a program called Speak Truth has taught students to use their voices,…
