Persistent difficulties in learning abstract algebraic concepts--particularly among preservice mathematics teachers--continue to hinder students' mathematical development. While prior studies have documented general misconceptions, few have grounded their analysis in comprehensive learning theories. Addressing this gap, the present study adopts…

This article addresses the issue of adults applying online for adult education courses via Proxy Internet Usage (PIU). The requirement for applicants to apply for courses via digital platforms may increase in the future, as may the likelihood of adults with limited digital skills relying on PIU to navigate online application processes that provide…

Accurately assessing students' self-regulated learning remains a persistent challenge due to the construct's complexity and the limitations of individual measurement methods. This study explores the reliability and meaningfulness of assessing upper-secondary students' SRL in English as a Foreign Language classrooms using a convergent triangulation…

Virtual Literature Circle (VLC) shows promise in developing critical reading skills among EFL students, but limited empirical research addresses the specific challenges in fostering collaborative learning, engagement, and learning outcomes. To address this gap, a sequential mixed-method study involving 25 EFL students was conducted. The findings…

A positive physics identity is crucial for women and minorities who are underrepresented in the field of physics. Pedagogical methods that focus heavily on math rather than concepts present a deterrent to many students in physics courses. This research aimed to determine how a 'gamified' physics curriculum with immediate feedback affects students'…

Context: Mathematics education remains a critical focus for national education improvement efforts, particularly in light of the learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2024, the average NAEP math score for eighth graders dropped by 8 points compared to 2019. Since 2022, scores have risen for higher-performing students in the 75th and 90th…

This study developed a structured intervention program based on Transformative Learning, Experiential Learning, and Humanistic Education principles to enhance public speaking confidence among university students experiencing public speaking anxiety, a common barrier to academic and professional success. The research had two objectives: (1) to…

The idea of offering all children and youth an education that is experiential, student centered, engaging, and relevant to life is not a new concept (Dewey, 1938; Kolb, 1981). Preparing students with the competencies, skills, and character for full participation in the 21st century has become the vision of schools, educators, and organizations…

This study describes the barriers and supportive factors for learning about and using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) present during a learning intervention designed to enable older adults to use ICT for fostering healthy aging in terms of promoting functional ability. Forty-one adults, older than 60 years, participated in a…

This study is the first to examine the associations between the occurrence, frequency, and adaptivity of children's subtraction by addition strategy use (SBA; e.g., 712 - 346 = ?; 346 + 54 = 400, 400 + 300 = 700, 700 + 12 = 712, and 54 + 300 + 12 = 366) and their underlying conceptual knowledge. Specifically, we focused on two rarely studied…
