In this case study, we discuss the affordances of using vignettes in a survey to capture the perceptions of the actual experiences from diverse participants in short-term overseas experiential learning trips, even after a significant time lag. The evidence is drawn from an ongoing research study examining the impact of these trips on various…

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of mandala design training on the sensory, cognitive, and emotional perception skills of 8-10-year-old children with specific learning disorder. The study had a randomized-controlled design and was conducted in an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 28…

This study uncovers the development and structure of the research on English as a second or foreign language in post-Soviet countries. In total, 500 publications from the Web of Science database were analyzed. The findings revealed that the authors involved tend to cross borders in co-authorship publications. There is a small exchange of…

Background/purpose: Learning mathematics often presents challenges for students, particularly in problem-solving and establishing mathematical connections. Self-regulated learning allows students to direct, adjust, and control their learning processes. This approach is essential in encouraging students to manage their learning strategies…

Using a comparative case study design, this study explored the reflecting team (RT) method in group training among counseling students (n = 26). Participants were assigned to either the experiential group (EG) or RT, and group climate was assessed using the Group Climate Questionnaire (GCQ-S). Results indicated that RT members reported higher…

Gardening provides children with hands-on, minds-on, and inquiry science learning. This article describes the benefits of gardening, preparations for gardening with preschoolers using children's books, creation of a garden, and planting a garden. It presents ways in which teachers can look deeper for the practices and experiences that meet the…

What they didn't tell you about how to increase engagement and decrease unsettled behaviour. Teachers have long been taught to use different strategies: one for behaviour; one for learning. Start with control to get their attention, then move on to the learning. This isn't working. It's time for a change. Jen Foster brings a new approach. One that…

How can teachers bring out the author (or graphic novelist, filmmaker, songwriter . . . ) in every student? "Mentoring Youth Writers" outlines six strategies to engage and inspire secondary students and guide them into writing as an authentic and meaningful practice: (1) exploring multimodal forms of writing; (2) inviting choice; (3)…

To explore the role of parents in secondary school students' persistence in human-AI hybrid learning, this mixed-method study proposes a model that integrates active and restrictive parental mediation into an established baseline model from prior research. Using structural equation modelling to analyse data from 302 students, the proposed model…

We present example assessments featuring spectroscopic unknown puzzles, where the solution to the puzzle is the outcome of a known chemical reaction. These spectroscopic exercises engage students in a substantially more authentic manner than the conventional structure elucidation puzzles that are ubiquitous in organic chemistry instruction.…

This conceptual paper argues that for children with reading difficulties, multi-sensory approaches to learning, especially in literacy, are essential. Drawing on a state-of-the-art review, we propose that olfactory elements of the learning environment, particularly in reading spaces, have significant implications for how struggling readers engage…

Many people around the globe are aiming to learn the Arabic language, even though it is difficult to learn. Therefore, many online institutions are offering the service of teaching Arabic as a second language to non-native speakers, but these institutions always encounter different issues in enhancing their performance. Thus, this study aimed to…

The speech styles of young German speakers in entertainment and social media employ slang, English, and jargon for current social issues including LGBTQIA+ sexuality: "geil," "krass," "Alter" or "queer," "Yaas Queen," "coming-out" or "gendern," "pansexuell,"…

The development of English-language skills, a near necessity in today's global economy, is heavily influenced by historical national decisions about whether to subtitle or dub TV content. While prior studies of language acquisition have focused on schools, we show the overwhelming influence of out-of-school learning. We identify the causal effect…

Context: Introductory programming courses often face high dropout and failure rates, a challenge widely addressed in computing education research. Collaborative methods, such as group work and pair programming, have been proposed as potential solutions, as they are believed to enhance students' study motivation. Objective: This article provides a…
