The purpose of this handbook is to support preservice teachers as they prepare for field experiences, including novice and student teaching, in early childhood settings. By integrating AI technology, this resource presents 80 carefully designed prompts to guide reflective thinking, lesson planning, the creation of safe environments, and…

This study examined the interrelationships between e-learning, academic self-efficacy (ASE), academic motivation (AM) and academic performance (AP) among English language learners as foreign language (EFL) students in 2024. Despite the growing use of e-learning in educational settings, there is a limited understanding of its relationships with…

Giving practitioners a voice is essential in developing intervention programs that are adapted to educator and child needs. We aimed to do so by involving educators in the codesign of an intervention supporting early mathematical and executive development, to maximize feasibility and implementation quality. N = 100 educators, N = 24 Early Years…

This study aimed to design, develop, and validate the RSiSTEM framework, a robotics-based simulation learning model intended to foster students' problem-solving and systems thinking competencies within STEM education. The research followed a two-phase developmental design. In Phase 1, the framework was constructed through a systematic synthesis of…

Many studies have examined representational abilities, but few have explored the use of lesson study activities based on didactical design research, which integrated STEM to solve problems in higher education. This research aimed to develop a STEM-based blended lecture design that optimized the representation abilities of prospective mathematics…

To ensure quality and equitable education requires an understanding of how all learners function within a learning environment, and the ways in which teachers' pedagogy can support inclusive practice. Drawing on research from a rural school in Western Australia, this paper identifies how furniture can be used as a tool to support student agency…

No previous systematic reviews have focused on which targeted interventions successfully raise educational outcomes (i.e. reading, writing, mathematics, science and general attainment outcomes) for students with Down syndrome. This study reports on the findings from a larger pre-registered systematic review of targeted interventions for students…

In recent years, supported by digital technology, virtual reality (VR) has brought about a paradigm shift in education. Students can experience the interactivity and immersive learning offered by VR technology in virtual worlds. This study applies virtual reality as a new instructional mode in field trip courses and explores the factors…

This paper examines how purposeful cross-curricular choices for students, notably Emergent Bilingual students, create a rich learning environment and opportunities for students to thrive. It examines the intersection of U.S. History Studies Since 1877 and American literature, which often converge in Grade 11, and proposes the implementation of the…

Transdisciplinary invention projects based on traditional and digital fabrication technologies engage young people in designing and making complex artifacts and constitute a central aspect of future-oriented education. In Finland, comprehensive school students (aged 7-15) from all over the country can practice their inventive skills in the annual…

Students in distance education face high demands for self-regulation, within which goal focus can play varying roles. The current study examined the (in)congruence between outcome and process-focused goals, and whether the nature and degree of this (in)congruence are associated with academic engagement in distance higher education, considering the…

Career and technical education (CTE) and apprenticeship share many common goals, combining workplace skills with academic knowledge. Yet, until recently, CTE and Registered Apprenticeship (RA) were entirely separate systems in the United States. CTE programs are embedded in secondary and postsecondary educational institutions, while RA has…

Introduction: School-based prevention efforts to support social and emotional learning in adolescence frequently struggle to demonstrate sizable impact, and scholars suggest this may be due to a lack of curricular alignment with adolescent developmental needs. Using co-design methods, this study invited high school students to refine and revise…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to develop a Proposed Model for Social and Cultural Heritage in Early Grade Social Education Textbooks in Jordan. Materials/methods: The study adopted a qualitative methodology, involving content analysis of the textbooks for grades one, two, four, and five, along with interviews conducted with 35 experts in…

In the last decade, there has been an increasing shift to begin teaching computer science and computational thinking in kindergarten. Most of these efforts have grown from the demand of a technically sophisticated workforce. This paper presents three contributions. First, a theoretical contribution by proposing the teaching of computer science as…
