This paper reports on one teacher's adoption and adaption of pre-packaged teaching plans when teaching early years literacy. We hone in on Ms Jordan's (pseudonym) work as an adaptive professional who personalises curriculum enactment for her highly diverse student cohort through continual changes to resource selection, pedagogy and assessment.…

Constant Time Delay (CTD) is a structured, error-reducing teaching strategy with promising applications for students with mathematical learning difficulties (MLD). In this study, we systematically replicated CTD in a German inclusive classroom to evaluate its effects on multiplication fact fluency. Two fourth-grade boys with persistent…

This study aims to assess the efficacy of active learning strategies within the context of open and distance learning (ODL), considering that most participants are adults. To investigate the practical implementation of active learning in the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) setting, two research questions have been formulated regarding the…

This study examines how academics experience the adoption of project-based learning (PBL) in maritime higher education, analyzed through Engeström's Activity Theory. While PBL has shown effectiveness in higher education, little research addresses the contradictions that arise in specific teaching and learning contexts. Using a qualitative…

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…

This study evaluated the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods in developing students' practical skills in the Laboratory Practice in Indirect Restorations (LPIR) course at the School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (FAO-UFMG). A qualitative before-and-after study was conducted with 25 fifth-semester undergraduate dental…

This study examined the moment-by-moment reciprocal relationships between teachers' instructional moves and students' social reasoning during collaborative small-group discussions.

Many professional health programs have transitioned from regional anatomy courses to integrated curricula, in which anatomy is taught longitudinally within a series of systems-based courses. With this shift, systems-based prosections have become increasingly valuable for anatomy education. However, most dissection guides are regionally focused,…

Scrum is a framework that supports the development of various student skills, yet its application in chemistry learning within the Manado local cultural context remains rare. This study aimed to examine the effect of the scrum method, combined with ethnochemistry, on students' creative thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes in green…

This volume examines critically the acquisition of religious knowledge and skills, arguing that religious literacy--like other foundational competencies--should be developed within public education. Despite its importance, this subject has been largely overlooked in educational research and policy. Bringing together 18 contributions from leading…

Over the past few decades, research has been conducted on the nature of science (NOS), which is considered a critical component for achieving scientific literacy. This study aims to explore university science professors' views of NOS using a recent theoretical framework, which is the family resemblance approach (FRA). FRA is a comprehensive…

Research has been pointing out for decades that the use of History of Science (HoS) in Physics Education has a positive impact on cognitive, metacognitive, and emotional aspects. Also, it has been proposed as a possible path for promoting a political and decolonial turn in science education. However, literature also points out that this approach…
