Reading aloud to young children can positively impact their social and emotional development during preschool. However, further exploration is needed to determine how drama-based read-alouds (DBRAs) could enhance these benefits. In this sense, this study examined the effects of the DBRA intervention on preschoolers' social understanding, social…

Solving a math word problem (MWP) requires understanding the mathematical components of the problem and an ability to decode the text. For some students, lower reading comprehension skills may make engagement with the mathematical content more difficult. Readability formulas (e.g., Flesch Reading Ease) are frequently used to assess reading…

This qualitative case study, grounded within the interpretive paradigm, analyzed the errors and misconceptions made by 11th-grade learners when tackling the tangent-chord theorem task in Euclidean geometry. Studying Euclidean geometry helps learners develop critical thinking skills, such as constructing arguments and applying logical reasoning.…

Family-school collaboration has proven benefits for students' social, emotional, behavioral, and academic functioning, yet many schools struggle to create and sustain effective partnerships with families. This timely resource provides an equity-focused, culturally responsive framework for embedding family collaboration within multi-tiered systems…

Two problems, both from Gaspar Nicolas' "Tratado da Prática d'Arismética", published in 1519 are considered in this study. The tasks were carried out using pencil, paper and students from Portuguese schools. The aim was to explore the following students' performances: 1. The students were able to recognize the "error",…

The Cybergogy approach is a teaching and learning methodology that integrates technology and pedagogy to promote critical thinking skills and inventive problem-solving among Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) learners. This approach leverages the affordances of digital technologies such as virtual reality, simulations, and…

This study explored how students develop and demonstrate resilience when prompted with mathematical problems. Anchored on the Three-Dimensional Resilience Theory in Mathematical Problem Solving, a multiple case study was conducted on thirteen (13) purposively selected students from a public senior high school in Davao City, Philippines. The…

ABSTRACT Childhood maltreatment increases the risk of peer victimization in middle school students, yet the specific link between them remains unclear. This study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify maltreatment subtypes and examined how coping strategies moderated their relationship with different types of peer victimization, comparing…

Generative AI tools, including the popular ChatGPT, have had a significant impact on discourses about future work and educational practices. Previous research in science education has highlighted the potential of generative AI in various education-related areas, including generating valuable discussion material, solving physics problems, and…

Background/purpose: This research aimed to 1) Compare mathematical problem-solving skills and academic achievement before and after learning the topic of Basic Counting Principles of Grade 11 students who were taught by traditional learning methods and open learning approach. 2) to compare mathematical problem-solving skills and academic…

Students learn mathematics best when they actively explore problems, connect solution methods, and synthesize ideas at just the right moment. Yet in many classrooms, this balance tips too quickly toward telling students how to solve problems, leaving less room for them to do the real mathematical work. "Teaching Mathematics Through Problem…

Background/purpose: Creative thinking is an essential 21st-century skill in mathematics education, closely connected to logical-mathematical ability. Solving numerical problems requires students to think systematically, flexibly, and deeply beyond technical skills. In this context, the creative thinking process remains underexplored empirically.…

The 2023 Survey of Adult Skills, a product of the OECD Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), provides a comprehensive overview of adults' literacy, numeracy and adaptive problem-solving skills -- skills that are fundamental for personal, economic and societal development. These key information processing skills…

This study investigated the effectiveness of an instructional model that integrates project-based learning and WebQuests to enhance Chinese undergraduate engineering students' innovation abilities. The model was implemented in an engineering drawing and CAD course with 38 third-year students over one semester. A one-group repeated-measures design…

Background: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is linked to strengths in creative problem-solving amongst school-aged children and adults. In contrast, autism (which frequently co-occurs with ADHD) is associated with lower generativity, and perseverative responses during problem-solving. Little is known about how ADHD and autism…
