Efforts to strengthen inclusive practice in education have been found to be underpinned by encounters with dilemmas. In particular, much has been written about the 'dilemma of difference', which is the perceived tension between wanting to provide for individual needs in education and wanting to avoid stigmatising individuals by treating them…

Purpose: In the open and distance learning (ODL) system, widely scattered learners across various age groups often feel isolated. New-age media-enabled co-creation can help reduce this isolation. However, fostering collaborative academic engagement to break this isolation presents challenges for ODL institutions. Therefore, understanding the…

This study looked to examine the effects of remote learning on teachers' curriculums. In the study, the researcher sought to examine how teachers have had to adjust their curriculums and lessons in this time of remote learning to make sure they are reaching all students. Previous research has been done on this topic that has been both critical and…

Research on anxiety faced by teachers has focused on math-related anxieties. However, elementary teachers who teach multiple subjects may also experience anxiety when teaching other subjects, especially early in their careers or when teaching certain grade levels. In this preregistered study with 279 kindergarten to third-grade teachers, we…

The measurable effects of music in online learning remains a topic of extensive debate, largely due to inconsistent findings within existing literature. Many of these inconclusive results stem from research methodologies that focus on singular perspectives, often overlooking a balance between cognitive challenges and emotional benefits of…

The aim of this study is to determine the views of psychology graduate students on sexual crimes, crime sanctions and education. In the study, since the views of psychology graduate students on sexual crimes, crime sanctions and education were examined, a holistic single case study design was used. While determining the study group, convenience…

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology with strong potential to enhance the educational value of physics lab work. However, its integration in higher education remains inconsistent, often hindered by students' limited prior experience and varying levels of acceptance. This study investigates the factors influencing students' intention to…

Students who are the first in family (FIF) to enrol in bachelor's degree programmes, do not have the same familial cultural, social and economic capital that can help in their transitions into tertiary study than students whose parents are tertiary graduates. This qualitative study explores four FIF students' experiences of transitioning from…

Background/purpose: The main objective of this research is to investigate the impact of employing e-learning on the level of reading comprehension among basic stage students from the perspective of their female teachers in Amman. It also sought to determine whether there were statistically significant differences in these perceptions attributable…

There are gifted and talented children who go unnoticed in education systems and who are not provided with adequate teaching. This is a matter of concern, both for individual children and society at large. This mixed methods, multiple-case study of three inclusive preschools in Sweden investigates identification, teaching, quality of interactions,…

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) quality is typically determined by key components such as the child-to-teacher ratio, teacher qualifications, the learning environment, and the quality of teacher-child interactions. The aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of different ECEC quality…

Background: The integration of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) into second language (L2) education has opened new possibilities for personalized and adaptive instruction. While Gen-AI has shown promise in supporting language production skills, its application in reading, particularly in pre-reading scaffolding, remains underexplored.…

Teacher evaluation systems and their associated incentives have produced fairly mixed results. Our analyses are motivated by theory and descriptive evidence that accountability systems are highly racialized, and that individuals are less likely to respond to incentives when they have low expectations of success (and vice versa). Using a regression…

Background: Vocal music is a multifaceted subject, as students not only need to master skills but also to appreciate and critically interpret the singing process. Conventional vocal music learning methods emphasise practice and feedback, but deeper learning often stems from reflective assessment, especially when students adopt the perspective of…

This study provides insight into teacher technology knowledge and implementation in K-12 classrooms, addressing a gap in quantitative research of in-service teachers' practices aligned with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Educators. Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and Teacher…
