This paper explores the digital literacy practices of youth of Color on social media within the context of teacher education. Despite being critical stakeholders in education, youth of Color are often overlooked in teacher education. Digital spaces, particularly social media and youth literacies on platforms, have the potential to facilitate…

School physical education (PE) is influenced by different discourses that play a crucial role not only in the (re)production of PE practices but also in shaping teacher subjectivities. This paper aims to explore how a PE teacher responds to, lives, and negotiates his embodied professional subjectivity over time. To achieve this, we employ an…

As a result of more recent events connected to the ongoing and lasting legacy of systemic racism in our society and the sparsity of research focused on both disciplinary teacher leadership (TL) and centering social justice and equity in teacher leadership literature reviews, this research investigated the ways in which science teacher leadership…

Taking the "practice turn" in K-12 science classrooms requires students to engage in processes of knowledge building, constructing explanatory accounts of natural phenomena. To support students in these sensemaking opportunities, a significant departure is needed from how science is typically taught in many classrooms. Teachers will need…

This investigation was performed to determine the impacts of the STEM approach in environmental education (EE) on environmental attitudes and knowledge levels and to examine student opinions on the STEM approach in EE. The investigation was implemented in a government school in Turkey in 12 weeks using a mixed method. A Quasi-experimental design…

Tasks used in the Biology Olympiad (BiO) appear to be promising alternatives to traditional teaching tasks in biology education, as they frequently incorporate inquiry-based elements. This makes them a valuable resource for increasing students' exposure to inquiry activities during classroom instruction. However, for teachers to effectively…

Disparities in school discipline based on student race and disability status remain a major barrier to achieving educational equity. In addition to systemic factors, research suggests that educators' racial and labeling biases may also be partially responsible for exacerbating these inequities. This article presents a novel mindfulness-based…

This book investigates the effect of multisensory instruction on self-efficacy among students with developmental dyslexia learning English as a foreign language. The first three chapters of the book delve into theoretical aspects of developmental dyslexia, multisensory instruction, and self-efficacy, providing an overview of existing research in…

We examined the ways that faculty members developed as inclusive instructors as a result of participating in the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project (ISTP). The ISTP is a free, Massive Open Online Course designed to train STEM faculty members in inclusive teaching. Semi-structured interviews (n = 80) with course participants from multiple disciplines…

Kidding remarks in Thai social contexts are often perceived as trivial. However, frequent occurrences may lead to verbal bullying, particularly when the communicator does not consider the feelings of others. This study aims to develop a process framework to enhance awareness of creative communication and empathy in Thai social contexts.…

Academic institutions are increasingly adopting active learning methods to enhance educational outcomes. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated neurobiological differences between active learning and traditional lecture-based approaches in university physics education. Undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory…

The lack of utilization of the local environment in science learning causes low environmental and science literacy among students. In fact, integrating the surrounding environment, such as mangrove forests in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) based learning is very important to foster scientific awareness and understanding from an early…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, the clarity, measurability, and alignment of course objectives are more critical than ever. Effective course design hinges on well-defined learning objectives that guide both instruction and assessment. However, creating these objectives can be a daunting task for faculty, especially when…

Academic journals are valuable sources of scholarly information. Although journal articles are sometimes used to assist medical education, it is uncertain whether journal articles related to lecture content increase students' learning motivation. In the present study, we found that learning activities supported by lecture-related journal articles…

The purpose of this study was to test the use of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) in the secondary school setting. There were two main goals: (a) to evaluate secondary education providers' ability to implement PRT with fidelity following a PRT training program; and (b) to evaluate the effects of school-implemented PRT on the social communication…
