Music education underwent significant adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting broader changes in education as a whole. Distance learning was the only way to organise learning to avoid the consequences of the pandemic. As part of this project, research was carried out in the 2021-2022 school year to determine primary school students'…

This paper investigates the connection between the spiral teaching method and mathematical rigor in K-12 education. Defining rigor as a balanced integration of conceptual understanding, application, and procedural fluency (contrasting it with rote learning), the paper posits that the spiral approach cultivates this rigor. By revisiting…

This meta-analysis study evaluates the effectiveness of research and development (R&D) of Android-based educational games in enhancing students' mathematical reasoning and its moderating factors. From 13 primary studies that met the inclusion criteria, analysis using R Studio (Meta Package) and the Random Effects Model (REM) showed an overall…

This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools with Nation's Four Strands Framework in the design of pre-class learning modules for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) flipped classrooms. Focusing on conversational skills development--a domain requiring balanced attention to meaning-focused input/output, language-focused…

Source-based writing skills, which include evaluating, synthesizing, and citing sources, are skills that students are expected to acquire as part of college-level writing. Unfortunately, many multilingual writers (MLWs), especially those in advanced degree programs, lack programmatic support and instruction. Thus, writing centers represent a…

The rapid emergence of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems represents a paradigm shift in military operations, demanding fundamental transformation of US military education. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for reskilling and redesigning military education to address critical workforce readiness gaps in the era of autonomous…

Background/purpose: Programming education faces persistent challenges, including high attrition rates, low student engagement, and difficulty grasping abstract concepts. Innovative pedagogical strategies are needed to support today's diverse learners better. Game-Based Learning (GBL) has emerged as a promising approach that uses interactive and…

This research examines the experiences of First Nations peoples and migrants in Australia undertaking foundation skills courses--which include language, literacy, numeracy, digital skills (LLND), and employment skills--with a particular focus on those who do not complete their training. It explores their initial intentions and motivations, the…

In this five-year longitudinal study focused on digital support for continuing and first-generation college students, we examined how digital curricular enhancements that promoted students' self-regulated learning skills (e.g, the Science of Learning to Learn) through trainings delivered on the university learning management system course site of…

This paper presents a research project, funded by Durham University, investigating the potential of Generative AI (GenAI) for Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) learning, teaching and assessment within the School of Modern Languages and Cultures (MLaC) at Durham University. The study explores how Generative AI can support writing skills and feedback…

This study explores tensions between procedural and substantive knowledge within New Zealand's competency-based curriculum reforms, focussing on social sciences education. Drawing on interviews with teachers, it examines how the shift towards skill-oriented, procedural knowledge impacts teaching practices, student preparedness for higher…

The transfer of macrocognitive skills from digital training environments into physical performance is a central challenge in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, manufacturing, and defense industries. This meta-analysis synthesizes 111 studies published between 2000 and 2025, including 47 quantitative analyses, to examine how virtual reality…

This convergent mixed-methods study investigated Australian teachers' perspectives on the computing competencies required for online National Assessment Program -- Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). A total of 107 teachers completed surveys examining how socio-educational backgrounds and classroom practices shape students' readiness for high-stakes…

Academic libraries are currently part of a landscape where there is a rapid growth of digital technologies and electronic resources and they have responded to this by developing their research services. Some of the most specialised and complex research in higher education is conducted by doctoral students and the effective use of digital tools and…

It is likely to observe that the increase in data and the interrelated challenges in digital age complicates the problems to be encountered. Therefore, unprecedented problem-solving skills have become inevitable. Though dating back to old times, computational thinking skill is defined as a recent skill area that is required by everybody, that can…
