Micro-inquiries are a streamlined adaptation of the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) and C3 Framework that break down rich, meaningful content and skill explorations into short lessons that teachers can include in "less" than a single lesson. Recognizing that full IDM implementations can be time-consuming and challenging for elementary…

Despite the growing emphasis on student success in higher education globally, limited research has examined the complex interplay of factors influencing academic outcomes in developing contexts, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study addresses this gap by employing structural equation modelling (SEM) with Diagonally Weighted Least Squares…

This study introduces an Action Learning -- Professional Development Framework (AL-PDF) designed to enhance research skills among young agricultural scientists in a rural institution. The framework tackles issues such as limited research capacity, the absence of formal professional development (PD) pathways, and limited resources. Beyond our…

Effective second language (L2) writing hinges on both learners' beliefs in their writing capabilities (self-efficacy) and their engagement in writing tasks. However, to date, no study has explored the association between these two important factors within an L2 writing context. Therefore, this study aims to examine how L2 writing self-efficacy…

Archival data were analyzed with piecewise growth models to determine the seasonal growth of students not reading proficiently who did (treatment students = 144) and did not (control students = 1113) participate in their school district's summer reading program. The rising first- through fifth graders (48% female) were predominately White (74%)…

This research aimed to 1) study composition and indicators, and to study current condition and desirable condition of participatory network administration 2) To develop model of network administration with participation for higher quality in early childhood development center. 3) To study the result of model. This research was divided into 3…

The success of students with disabilities (SWDs) depends on access to high-quality general education teachers. Yet, teacher value-added measures (VAMs) generally fail to distinguish between effectiveness in educating students with or without disabilities. Using data from the Los Angeles Unified School District, we create two VAMs: one focusing on…

Background/Context: Theoretical and policy frameworks consistently assert that warm, responsive, and cognitively rich teacher-child interactions are crucial for infants' and toddlers' learning and development (Burchinal, 2018; Pianta & Hamre, 2009). In Early Head Start (EHS), such "process quality" is expected to bolster children's…

This study developed and validated an instructional model that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI), gamification, collaboration, and engagement in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Using a three-phase consensus-based approach, Phase 1 synthesized theoretical foundations from Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Second Language…

This research examined the cost and features of 20 speech sound disorder (SSD) treatment apps as part of the feature mapping paradigm. Methods included the development of a 48-item SSD checklist culled from the extant literature and sorted into 10 categories: linguistic level, feedback types, customization, image types, image iconicity, speech…

Creative's Phenomenon-based Learning Management (PhenBL) instructional model has been selected to support 45 physical education students in the Management Learning Science Course. Students' responses to their classroom with the 48-item PBLMM, their problems, and needs were assessed with the 42-item QPNS, instructorstudent interpersonal behaviors…

This study aims to determine the effect of inquiry-based learning using the 5E instructional model on students' attitudes toward learning history. A quantitative quasi-experimental design was employed, utilizing a pre-post attitude questionnaire. A total of 149 tenth-grade students from two different schools in Bonga town participated in the…

Purpose: Predicting learner outcomes in blended learning (BL) is a new problem with many challenges, as learner data must be collected in both face-to-face and online environments. The purpose of this article is to identify the best method for building a model to predict student performance in BL and to determine the appropriate time for early…

Three-dimensional (3D) pens are emerging educational tools that enable users to create tangible, freeform 3D printed models. However, their pedagogical potential in science education remains underexplored. This study examined preservice teachers' experiences using 3D pens to create models for primary biology and chemistry education, focusing on…
