School counselors are in an excellent position to lead positive initiatives and outcomes for all students, especially those from underrepresented populations. Broaching -- the ability to explore the contextual dimensions of race, ethnicity, and culture (REC) to eliminate barriers for students -- can strengthen school counselor leadership capacity.…

This research digest addresses digital health literacies, demonstrating the important role that adult basic education instructors can play in supporting learners to adapt to a changing digital world. This review is structured by first examining the relationship between the internet and health. The report then discusses the digital health…

Elementary (5 [approximately] 11 years old) students with mathematics difficulties often struggle with word-problem solving. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to examine the comparative effectiveness of various instructional strategies and their combinations for improving word-problem solving skills in this population. We…

Despite continued efforts to address this issue, many students still exhibit misunderstandings regarding Newton's laws. These misconceptions include beliefs, such as every movement requires a force, that force is directly proportional to velocity, and that action-reaction forces can differ in magnitude. To mitigate these misunderstandings,…

In "Equity Learning Communities," Daniel Reinholz recommends sustained, collaborative professional development group meetings as a launchpad for higher education instructors to enhance classroom equity and inclusivity. In Reinholz's approach, community members make use of debrief sessions, collaborative problem solving, and empirical…

This study was developed in the scope of the Poly-Universe in Teacher Training Education project and explores how to promote interdisciplinary and STEAM approaches in teacher education with Poly-Universe, a game based on materials of different geometric shapes and different colours, that obey certain characteristics that allow for various…

In this study, the mathematical problem-solving ability with ethnomathematics nuances of the marble game based on student learning styles has been examined. A qualitative methodology is used, with the research instruments being a learning style questionnaire, a problem-solving ability test, and interviews based on problem-solving ability…

Research on the possible benefits of digital games for learning outcomes in STEM education has shown mixed results, which is another reason that this study is focused on inconsistencies in past research outcomes. Moreover, it seeks to explore the moderator variables which affect the success of digital games like game design, interactive…

The overall performance of a chemical plant goes beyond engineering design and optimization. Operational factors such as teamwork, communication, human oversight, and process troubleshooting are crucial in determining the plant's safety and profitability. This paper proposes the integration of simulation-based teaching into the chemical…

This study examines the mathematization approaches and science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) practices utilized by 18 elementary bilingual pre-service teachers (PSTs) when solving a model-eliciting activity. The activity prompted participants to design ramps with certain constraints. A case study methodology was used to analyze the…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) is increasingly essential in both scientific practice and modern education, yet remains difficult to embed authentically in classrooms. This study addressed that gap by integrating CPS into a ninth-grade biology lesson using a smartphone-based asymmetric simulation. The innovative three-phase instructional…

This article aims to advance K-12 health literacy through the integration of technology-enriched participatory methods within skills-based health education. By emphasizing active student engagement, these instructional strategies align with the National Health Education Standards and cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication…

The purpose of the current study is to reveal the perception of group counselors regarding children's social emotional skills with a focus on art therapy. In this study, a partially mixed simultaneous equal-status design from mixed design models was used. The study group of the research consisted of 10-11-year-old students (n: 28, female: 14,…

Innovations have been made to educational strategies in health sciences to increase intrinsic motivation in students which helps generate a significant and active learning in students with the help of methodologies, such as gamification, using escape rooms (ER) and the use of digital tools, such as the Sectra Table. The objective of this study is…

The transition from kindergarten to the first grade of elementary school is a crucial developmental period that can significantly influence pupils' academic trajectories. This study aimed to examine whether adaptation to the school environment moderates the relationship between skill-specific performance and academic achievement in two core…
