Mathematics Anxiety (MA) is an increasing challenge for mathematics educators and is a barrier to mathematical learning. Through reflection on the implementation of a lesson sequence designed to elicit regular use of explicit metacognitive questions (EMQ's), this paper explores the impact of the incorporation of self-regulated learning (SRL)…

The use of electronic media in the classroom was prevalent during the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic because it afforded the health and safety of students in blended course modalities. This project aimed to quantify the effectiveness of a three-dimensional computer-based human anatomical online platform in a blended synchronous course…

Principals can and do have an impact on the performance of their schools. Instructional leadership is a key factor influencing that performance, and maximizing the time allocated to instructional leadership can impact the principal's level of influence. Because of operational issues, like budget and finance, principals have less time to focus on…

Art education holds immense value, presenting students with complex problems and diverse solutions. While general art education has received attention from researchers, higher visual art education remains an under-discussed topic. This article aims to address this gap by examining the diversity of pattern elements that art teachers employ during…

This study presents an opportunity to see how ECE teachers can create early learning math professional learning. Utilizing participatory design research methodologies and expansive learning theory as a frame, it offers valuable insight into what teachers value and want out of professional learning experiences as evidenced by the emerging design…

This study examined higher education instructors' lived experiences using learning analytics data to make sense of and improve their online course design. Mishra and Koehler's (2006) Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) served as the theoretical framework for this study, providing a lens for understanding how faculty apply…

Integrating science and engineering has become a focal point for current research in science and STEM educational fields. Infusing engineering design as an application of scientific principles is beneficial, as it demonstrates an authentic, real-world application and allows for not only student engagement and enthusiasm, but also an avenue to…

Over the past decade the market for children's digital play activities focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has grown exponentially. One benefit to the growth in digital STEM play is that it can provide children opportunities to engage the cognitive skills and practices that can be valuable for formal STEM learning.…

Virtual reality (VR) has been one of the most widely developed forms of an alternate reality for use in education over the past few decades. Educators in many subjects are experimenting with incorporating this technology into their teaching processes, with the intention of creating a learning environment that their students can interact with to…

Purpose: The paper aims to clarify the relationship between problem-solving skills and socialization of first-year university students and propose talent management strategies for university management, course instructors and administrators. Thus, this paper identifies three student clusters among the first-year bachelor students. This paper aims…

The economics profession has been working to become more open, inclusive, and welcoming. The introductory principles of economics courses provide a unique opportunity to teach students of the wider university the value of the field of economics. It is in this setting that instructors' interactions with students show them a welcoming and diverse…

It is observed that efforts are made to benefit from the perspective of the Universal Convention on the Rights of the Child and to undertake the protection and promotion of children's rights more effectively in countries that are members of the European Union/membership process with the European Union Agreement (Lisbon Treaty) which came into…

Knowledge Building Communities (KBCs) are principled-based, interactive learning environments designed to scaffold higher levels of student agency and the formulation of goals and questions stemming from students' knowledge-building needs. The design of KBCs is guided by a set of 12 principles that have been examined across hundreds of studies.…

Based on previous studies, it was hypothesized that the personal background of students, including previous qualifications and work experience, may be one factor affecting their perceptions of interprofessional education. In a cross-sectional study, the associations between students' (N = 149) gender, major subject, previous degrees, and…

In Ireland, as with many international jurisdictions, digital technology is firmly positioned at the core of educational discourses. However, despite a rise in 'techno-positivity' among professionals in schools, these positive attitudes do not seem to permeate through to practice nor in effective learning outcomes. As a result, given the…
