This study examined the effectiveness of a group counseling program designed to support Korean university students (KUS) facing academic warnings. These students often navigate newfound independence amidst intense academic pressure, presenting significant challenges. The program, grounded in positive psychology and Adlerian individual psychology,…

Interest in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education and design thinking has risen as a way to equip students with 21st century skills, needed to solve complex real-world problems. However, integrating STEAM based design thinking challenges in the classroom poses challenges for educators, particularly in areas such…

During the COVID-19 pandemic period, preschool teachers experienced a hard time in which they were required to implement relevant epidemic prevention policies to ensure the health of young children, increasing their work engagement, work stress, and turnover intention. This study examined the relationship between Chinese preschool teachers' sense…

Many factors within the learning environment interplay to shape student experiences and academic outcomes. Understanding and optimizing these elements can lead to environments that nurture not only academic success but also holistic personal growth and lifelong learning skills. The present study explored the relationship between learning…

Background: Preparing preservice teachers for teaching placements and future careers is crucial. However, their motivation often fluctuates as they gain experience and receive feedback from influential sources. While previous studies have examined changes in preservice teachers' motivation over time, there has been little research on how this…

As digital technologies evolve, traditional teaching methods in design and art education are increasingly insufficient to meet students' learning needs. While Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has introduced transformative applications in education, its impact on design and art curricula remains underexplored. To address this gap, this…

This study examined the impact of a teacher professional development (TPD) program on primary school teachers' skills and self-efficacy in integrated language arts, science, and technology (ILS&T) instruction. The program's design is based on the four-component instructional-design (4C/ID) model, validated in many areas for developing complex…

There is a growing recognition that using engineering design process as an approach to integrate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) produces good learning outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of an integrated STEM with Design Thinking (iSTEM-DT) module on preschoolers' science process skills. It adopts a single…

The early years learning environment is vital for young children's learning and development. This study reports, for the first time in the UK, an online survey of 83 early years practitioners' perceptions, classroom practices, and beliefs towards mathematics. Surveyed practitioners rated life skills and literacy as more important than mathematics.…

The 2011 report "Vision and Change: A Call to Action (V&C)" resulted from a national effort to rethink biology curriculum. "V&C" outlines core concepts and core competencies for biology undergraduates and promotes evidence-based pedagogy, undergraduate research, and inclusive practices. However, it is unclear how much…

In the twenty-first century, inclusive education has emerged as a vital strategy for ensuring equal learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their abilities or personal characteristics. It affirms every learner's right to a quality education within a supportive and equitable environment. This study investigated the attitudes of M.Ed.…

Background/purpose: Since teachers' self-efficacy (TSE) beliefs influence the instructional practices used in the classroom, investigating TSE beliefs in using learner-centred instructional practices may inform research, policy, and practice. Therefore, this study aimed to validate a survey questionnaire to measure science and mathematics…

Teachers' technological knowledge is essential for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into language education. Additionally, teachers' self-efficacy and attitudes toward AI can foster the integration of AI tools in education. This study developed an Artificial Intelligence -- Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (AI-TPACK) framework…

Mixed reality simulations such as TeachLivE and Mursion have been increasingly utilised to prepare teachers for inclusive classrooms. The use of mixed reality simulations, which combine elements of both virtual and augmented reality, offers immersive and interactive experiences that can enhance teacher training in various ways. These simulations…

Misinformation in digital media is growing at an exponential rate. The rapid growth of technologies such as social media and artificial intelligence necessitates the skills to navigate through the vast amount of digital media information. Education in digital media literacy is critical to ensure students do not fall prey to easily manipulated…
