This study explores the challenges preservice teachers encounter: (a) in their teacher-becoming trajectory; and (b) with the implementation of social education contents in Nigeria. Understanding these is important for effective social education reforms. Narrative and observation methods were used for the study. The study drew on: (a) the stories…

Numerical explorations are accomplished to investigate the influence of student's perception towards Math which advances into academic dismissal in the preliminary level of higher education. The population under study are the students of seven Colleges of Technology across Oman. Data analyses were done using descriptive statistics of frequency…

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an instructional material in learning pre-calculus that can be used by the Grade 10 students at a school in Cauayan City, Philippines to improve their competency in Mathematics, particularly in Pre-Calculus. Method: The study employed a quasi-experimental research design consisting of two groups, the…

Contribution: This article presents the innovative prototypes used in materials and fabrication technologies in medical devices (MFTIMD) laboratory course, under the curriculum of Biomedical (BME) and Electrical Engineering (EE) undergraduate studies. A special part of the course is devoted to state-of-the-art topics, such as flexible and wearable…

This study aims to develop guidance materials on the topic of evaporation and boiling within the Science course, to use the materials with 5th grade students, and to find out the students' opinions about the implementation of these materials. The participants consist of 10 students studying in a public middle school in the 2020-2021 academic year.…

Changing teachers' practice is difficult, especially in low- and middle-income contexts (LMIC). Recently, with attention turning to improving early mathematics in addition to reading outcomes, donors, governments, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are grappling with the design of mathematics interventions and supportive policies. However,…

The digital era requires learning materials which is easily accessible online or offline. This research and development study aims to develop flipbook-based teaching-learning material for the Indonesian Snacks and Beverages course in the Culinary Arts Program of Unimed. Data were obtained by interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The…

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of a long-term professional development (PD) program on the classroom practices of physics teachers. Changes in teachers' practices were investigated across four dimensions: content, teaching strategy, materials/technology, and assessment. The present study used qualitative research methodology,…

As information technology grows in importance and creates industries and disruptions in the growing digital world (Hickman & Akdere, 2018), the practical importance of understanding the impact of leadership development coaching for leaders within information technology becomes critical. As leadership coaching and transformational leadership…

Probabilistic simulations have long served as instructional tools in statistics and probability education. With advances in technology, computer simulation environments where large quantities of data can be collected and analyzed have been suggested as venues for problem solving in contexts involving both known and unknown probability…

I provide considerations for TPC instructors and programs regarding developing students' IC skills.I start by examining key conversations and found that issues teaching IC arise when frameworks, texts, and/or individuals do not define key terms related to culture and IC. To address this issue and create a strong foundation, I establish some of the…

Independent access to text is important to employment and critical for postsecondary success; however, literacy deficits make access to text challenging for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Limited access to employment policies and procedures leaves individuals at a disadvantage. This study examines the text comprehension of employee…

As artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly being adopted and used in society, it is imperative that teachers feel supported to integrate AI and computer science (CS) into their coursework. To help support teachers to integrate CS and AI into their instruction, we designed and developed an innovative AI curriculum, Shark AI, for in-service science…

In the face of the global sustainability crisis, schools and teachers are called on to transform education and implement educational innovations to strengthen sustainability education. One of these innovations is 'open schooling': educational practices that involve students in identifying, exploring, and tackling real-world sustainability problems…

Recent research has focused on innovative instructional shifts that aim to expand what constitutes science and engineering practices, exploring also how they can build on students' diverse language resources in science learning. However, few studies explore the intersections of elementary teacher preparation and the implementation of science and…
