This research aims to examine recent studies on the dimensions necessary for developing mathematical modelling instruction and established frameworks used in teaching mathematical modelling. The study followed the steps outlined as such: identification, screening, eligibility, inclusion, and data analysis throughout three search engines: ERIC,…

The upholding of children's rights to develop their identity as citizens in a bicultural country is contingent with teachers' capacity to co-construct bicultural curriculum with children and whanau in ECE. Te Whariki provides a framework around which teachers can work with whanau and children to localise teaching and learning experiences. In doing…

David Hargreaves' 1996 vision for a research-based teaching profession aimed to integrate robust, evidence-based approaches into educational practice and policy. This critical evaluation examines the extent to which his vision has been realised. In his inaugural lecture for the Teacher Training Agency (TTA), Hargreaves' proposed a profession where…

Learning outcomes (LOs) represent a pivotal component of contemporary instructional design, particularly within the context of modular and student-centred educational frameworks. However, the increasing adoption of flexible learning pathways, micro-credentials, and cross-institutional programmes has created a critical need for systematic methods…

This study investigates the prevalence and distribution of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) among left-behind (LB) and non-left-behind (non-LB) children in rural China, adopting the UK's broader SEND framework to address the limitations of China's current classification system. Using quantitative data collected from 17 primary…

Background: The equality of mental health care must be improved for Australian youth who experience disadvantage (YED). The unique needs of YED means that it is essential mental health help-seeking is understood through their lens. Objective: This systematic review aimed to understand (1) what is currently known about mental health literacy (MHL)…

The purpose of this study is to unveil pre-service teachers' (PSTs') competencies and the challenges they encounter when designing 5E inquiry-based integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (iSTEM) lessons, as well as their perspectives on the underlying factors for these challenges. Data were collected through lesson plans and…

The continuing quest to ensure user acceptance is an ongoing management challenge and one that has occupied information systems researchers to such an extent that technology acceptance research is now considered to be among the more mature areas of exploration. Several models have been developed and validated in different contexts to help explain…

The key objective of this study was to reveal the key factors that impact university students' continued usage intentions with respect to Learning Management Systems (LMSs). Given the context-dependent nature of e-learning, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model was applied and extended with constructs principally…

This study investigates the relations between school readiness and self-regulation skills of preschool children and parental involvement towards education of their preschool children. More specifically, we focused on the mediation role of preschoolers' self-regulation skills on the relation between parental involvement and school readiness. The…

Predictive analytics is widely used in various domains, including education, to inform decision-making and improve outcomes. However, many predictive models are proprietary and inaccessible for evaluation or modification by researchers and practitioners, limiting their accountability and ethical design. Moreover, predictive models are often opaque…

A standard element of the undergraduate ordinary differential equations course is the topic of separable equations. For instructors of those courses, we present here a series of novel modeling scenarios that prove to be a compelling motivation for the utility of differential equations. Furthermore, the growing complexity of the models leads to the…

The "Brown" decision represents a watershed moment in U.S. history as the remedy served as a guiding light during a pandemic. A pandemic is an epidemic taking place on a scale that spans the globe. A circumstance is not a pandemic merely because it exists in different regions of the world or results in the death of many people; it must…

Definitions of modeling competence in science education do not yet include noncognitive factors. However, noncognitive factors are central to competence and might thus substantially improve our understanding of modeling competence. In this article, we analyze volition during preservice science teachers' engagement with a black-box modeling task…

Purpose: Business model (BM) canvases have been used in educational institutions and business incubators for over a decade to assist students and start-up entrepreneurs in developing their business projects. Given the urgency of tackling sustainability challenges, several tools have emerged to stimulate sustainable business modeling (SBM).…
