There is limited research available that investigates current information literacy (IL) needs of Australian secondary school students and teachers from the perspective of teacher librarians. This phenomenological research responds to this problem by exploring the perspectives of Australian secondary teacher librarians regarding the changing…

Research commissioned by the Scottish Government in 2022 investigated Learning for Sustainability (LfS) as it is experienced through the "Scottish Curriculum for Excellence" (CfE) by young people (14+ years), practitioners in secondary schools (teachers), and in community learning and development (CLD) settings. The research sought to…

Purpose: Whole-of-school approaches to physical activity (PA) promotion are recommended internationally, but there remains little descriptive research detailing the implementation of such approaches, especially at the secondary level. The purpose of this case study, which drew upon a social-ecological perspective, was to examine a whole-of-school…

In a historical moment in which Artificial Intelligence and machine learning have become within everyone's reach, science education needs to find new ways to foster "AI literacy." Since the AI revolution is not only a matter of having introduced extremely performant tools but has been determining a radical change in how we conceive and…

This research aimed to develop and evaluate a gamified learning game using the Kid-Bright board to teach introductory coding skills for controlling lamps and fans to 12th-grade students. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, involving the design and development of the game based on gamification principles, followed by an evaluation by three…

This study aimed to identify, develop, and validate components and indicators of academic management models in the digital era for improving academic achievement in secondary schools under Thailand's Office of the Basic Education Commission. A mixed-method approach was employed, encompassing comprehensive literature review, qualitative content…

Purpose: The advancement of technology has given rise to various ways of processing information and learning. Some of the challenges that hinder the adoption of information communication technologies in teaching include limited resources, infrastructure, and lack of support from the governing bodies of schools. This study aimed to investigate the…

After decades of being conceptualised solely as a lack of interest, boredom has recently gained attention as an important construct in its own right. However, there is still a lack of studies focusing on the relations and developmental interplay of these two closely related constructs. This study examines the overall long-term developmental…

One of the major tasks of an effective teacher is the provision of specific and timely feedback to students. Unfortunately, there is paucity of studies on the effectiveness of feedback strategies used by agriculture teachers. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the perceived effectiveness of feedback strategies used by Junior…

In recent years, there has been a growing effort to deepen our understanding of the complexities and mechanisms involved in integrating technology into mathematics education. This pursuit has led to the emergence of various theoretical frameworks, among which the Structuring Features of Classroom Practice (SFCP) (Ruthven, 2009) stands out. This…

Students' difficulties with proofs are well documented. To remedy this, it is often recommended that reasoning and proving be focused on in all grades and content areas of school mathematics. However, proofs continue to have a marginal place in many classrooms, or are only given explicit attention in courses in Euclidean geometry. Geometry is also…

Positive teacher feedback plays a crucial role in student learning. While previous studies on positive teacher feedback have primarily focused on its relationship with student achievement, much less attention has been given to how such feedback associates with student self-efficacy, particularly reading self-efficacy--a key predictor of both…

Within Self-Determination Theory's theoretical framework, student motivation is considered a crucial factor for school success and well-being, related to the capacity of the learning environment to meet individuals' psychological needs. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the longitudinal trajectories and associations of students' lack…

Purpose: International studies have emphasised the importance of effective teaching for student learning. However, few studies have investigated teaching practices in Bangladesh. The purpose of the study set out to explore the mathematics teaching behaviour of secondary school level of Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach: A convenient sampling…

The study investigated how blended learning affected secondary school students' achievement and retention in mathematics. The study used a non-equivalent control group pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design. The participants in the study were learners drawn from two secondary schools purposively chosen. Using a simple random sampling…
