E-Learning has become a global phenomenon. It makes learning more accessible and acquisition of new skills and knowledge easier. In sub-Saharan Africa, however, online qualifications are often the subject of controversy regarding their recognition. This is clear evidence of unsuitable e-Learning systems, as well as the limited relevance of the…

With the ability to predict learning behaviors, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly involved in assessing the performance of problem solving. This study explored the potential of AI to predict whether mathematics problems could be solved based on eye movements and handwriting in a digital problem-solving environment. Sixty-one students…

This study explores how Learning by Evaluating (LbE) can be integrated into the 5E instructional model to support Technology and Engineering Education. LbE, influenced by comparative judgment, engages students in analyzing peer work to foster reflection, design reasoning, and iterative thinking. Using qualitative content analysis of teacher…

Introduction: Running speech sampling is an essential component of a paediatric voice evaluation, in that it should provide the examiner with a representative vocal sample of the child's everyday voice use outside of the clinic setting. Current speech sampling practices, consisting of reading tasks, informal conversation sampling and the voice…

This article explores how teaching about passing using high-quality resources aligned to national standards can address both race "and" gender/sexuality, illuminating for students how people with various marginalized identities have been treated across time and place. The authors outline possibilities for addressing National Council for…

Lighthouses offer a unique lens for interdisciplinary teaching by connecting students to stories of innovation, perseverance, and historical change. By connecting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts with historical inquiry, students develop a deeper understanding of the ingenuity behind these structures and the…

Educational programs in which people are exposed to counter-stereotypical role models are often used for breaking gender stereotypes. Most gender role-model interventions focus on adolescents and emerging adults. Yet, middle childhood might be a highly effective period for changing gender stereotypes because children are still learning about…

School-leaving and higher education admission assessments in South Africa are typically summative and normative, comparing students for admission into university. However, we argue that these assessments need to be transformative, impacting the curriculum and empowering students to explore their own agency. This study is a reflective contribution…

Collaborative lesson planning (CLP) is deemed a sustainable professional development for teachers that can improve pedagogy and instruction in the classroom. This study examined how CLP influences teachers' self-regulated learning (SRL) instruction to students. Using data from 313 primary and secondary school teachers in Hong Kong, we conducted a…

This article explores oral exams in four Norwegian secondary schools. These oral exams are high-stakes assessments, however, knowledge about practice and implications for validity and fairness is scarce. Data for the study consist of video recordings of 36 authentic oral exams in the school subject Norwegian language and literature. Applying…

Understanding how mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) inspire prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) is essential for advancing mathematics pedagogy and developing future mathematics. This study explored the qualities of inspiring MTEs, the nature of their classroom environments and teaching practices, and the impact of their teaching on PMTs'…

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has the potential to change how we teach and how students learn. While genAI can support learning by offering personalised assistance, improving efficiency, and providing feedback, there are concerns that students may become overly dependent on it, potentially offloading their cognitive and metacognitive…

Background: Much of the research into the use of drama in science education has been qualitative, with its primary focus being on its "affective" value amongst students aged 6-14 years, with a smaller fraction on effectiveness in terms of academic achievement and understanding of chemistry amongst older school students (16-18 years).…

This paper examines the intersection of Confucian philosophy and communist ideology within China's contemporary educational system. Confucianism, a millennia-old tradition, has played a significant role in shaping Chinese society and continues to influence moral and educational frameworks. Under communist rule, Confucianism has been selectively…

Research in physics education has revealed that students often have incomplete and incoherent ways to use the concept of photon. Most researchers in science education recommend photons to be taken in a realistic sense as existing entities of quantum objects. Furthermore, in science education literature it is often claimed that realistic stance to…
