This research examines the relevance of using and applying key advanced technologies in educational activities when preparing future specialists. The relevance of this research and its scientific novelty lies in forming certain competencies of students through educational robotics in the classroom in the general system of additional education for…

In 2018, we received state funding for 'curriculum reform' to design an academic literacy course that would orient students to legitimate ways of reading and writing in the academy while fostering critical citizenship. Thus, drawing on the view of literacy as a social practice, the course design was shaped around relatable content, in this case,…

In this methodological paper of my PhD journey, I attempt to showcase the Nepali Cultural Worldview (NCW) grounded transformative praxis for reconceptualizing the conventional approach of scientific literacy that forgets our axio-onto-epistemic roots. Theory, values, and practice are the foundation of transformative praxis (Freire, 1996).…

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is transforming the educational landscape and calls for educators who are not only digitally proficient but also cognitively adaptive. This study investigated the relationship between digital competence and attitudes toward AI among pre-service…

Academic writing plays a crucial role in equipping students not only with the ability to write for academic purposes, but also with skills relevant to their future careers. These skills do not stand alone but are strengthened by various other skills. Among these skills, digital literacy and collaboration skills are very supportive of students'…

Digital literacy skills are essential for success in today's social, academic, and professional environments. This paper introduces a digital literacy framework, outlining key subskills and skill indicators for high school students, grounded in prior research and K-12 educational standards. We examine the implementation of digital literacy…

In recent times, 'Green Skills' has become a buzzword in international, national and local policies. Green Skills are considered to be an important precondition to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. However, until now, there has been a research gap in how companies, characterised by the particularities of their business,…

Over the past decades, languages and literacies have become a prominent focus in science education research and practice. While there is broad consensus on the central roles of disciplinary, representational, and cultural languages and their associated literacies in learning and teaching science, the field faces a critical moment. An ever-growing…

Relevance: The need to study media literacy is driven by the growing destructive influence of information, which is transforming public consciousness and increasing the risk of manipulation in the digital environment. Declining trust in the media, the spread of disinformation, and the growing role of social networks as the main source of news…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping the research paradigm of doctoral education, with growing evidence suggesting that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools could promote innovative behaviour among doctoral students. However, the use of AI tools in scientific research should be approached with special caution, as…

This study illuminates reformed literacy expectations via close examination of the recently released 2019 Ontario (Canada), First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Secondary curricular document. A summative latent content analysis of the renewed provincial curriculum found overwhelming support for critical literacy development. The Ontario government uses…

The Better Start Literacy Approach (BSLA) is a strengths-based approach to supporting children's literacy learning in their first year of school. Previous research has shown the approach is effective at accelerating foundational literacy knowledge in children with lower levels of oral language. This study examined the impact of the BSLA for…

Digital competence is a quite complex and evolving concept, difficult to be defined by using a single definition. The European Digital Competence Framework (DigComp) provides a consistent framework to guide cross-country measurements of digital competence. Even though there are many studies on measuring the digital competence level, there is a…

The digital teaching competence of university professors is of vital importance to improving the quality of higher education, and for the strategic positioning of public universities in our country. The purpose of this study is to find out the level of digital competence of Galician university professors, as well as to identify whether there are…

Oral language and early literacy skills are theorized to provide the foundation for reading acquisition. To understand these relations, methods are needed that depict dynamic skill development in the context of reading acquisition. We modeled contributions of school-entry skills and early skill trajectories to later reading with 105 5-year-old…
