This article presents a year-long, multisited study in which children were recruited from three coastal communities--Boston, San Diego, and Toronto--to establish the Coastal Climate Kids Collective. Guided by a critical literacies orientation with an eye toward child-centered approaches to teaching and learning, the research team collaboratively…

This article presents a historical inquiry designed to teach fourth-grade students how to develop counternarratives that challenge prevailing, and often-simplified, accounts of the 1960 Greensboro Sit-Ins, a pivotal civil rights event. Inspired by college-level classes, an elementary social studies teacher educator and two university archivists…

Homeschooling sparks controversy regarding the quality of education when compared to the traditional schooling system. However, homeschooling rates have doubled nationwide since the pandemic, especially among minorities. Funding and curricular material resources may be limited for homeschooling families, especially those from diverse backgrounds.…

This study aims to identify the characteristics of implementation and integration strategies of computational thinking (CT) and scientific approaches in programming education, viewed from the lens of educational levels, subject Matter, and research focus. The method employed is a systematic literature review following the PRISMA framework. A total…

This study investigated the impact of Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) approach in the proficiency level of Grade 9 students along quadratic functions. It employed a quasi-experimental design with a qualitative approach. Two groups with 40 students each from Saint John Berchmans High School Incorporated were considered as the…

Taking the perspective of a language program director (LPD), this practitioner research (PR) study describes how analysis of learners' reflections written for an advanced undergraduate German course in the United States helped an LPD see how students had experienced learning grammar in lower-level instruction. The study analyses a semester-long…

The relationship between learner and curriculum is foundational in education. In this study the purpose is to investigate how Swedish middle-school RE teachers balance children's existential concerns and the curriculum content in their teaching, as well as how they describe current curricular goals and pupils' questions, and to explore how these…

Supporting primary school teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) development for modeling-based instruction (MBI) remains a key challenge in science teacher education. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) offer a promising context for this professional growth. This study examined the PCK development processes of three primary school…

Problem framing is an essential yet under-explored aspect of problem-based historical inquiry. This study investigated how tenth-grade students in one AP US History class framed an ill-structured historical causal reasoning problem. Data included students' written brainstorms, students' responses to open-ended interview questions, and…

The current research implemented the Predict Observe and Explain (POE) instructional approach in mathematics and examined its efficacy in enhancing students' understanding of functions in terms of their ability to connect algebraic and graphical representations in optimization problems. Two grade 11 classes (40 students in total) and two grade 10…

Several studies demonstrate the importance of science education in early childhood. By using scientific practices in class, children can better comprehend the world around them, test hypotheses and develop positive attitudes towards science. These early experiences not only build a solid foundation for understanding abstract and concepts but also…

Learning post-qualitative inquiry emerged as a new activity in education. The aim of this article is to reveal the learning peculiarities of post-qualitative inquiry among education researchers, adapting PRISMA 2020 (Page et al., 2021a, 2021b, 2021c), the main principles and thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The scientific articles…

The laboratory plays a crucial role in science education. However, teacher education for pre-service teachers' design performance in the laboratory is still challenging. This study paved the way for redesigning traditional laboratory teaching into a student-centered approach: inquiry-based design thinking (IBDT). To investigate the impact of the…

Purpose: School climate strikes are opening spaces of appearance, becoming differently active forms of public pedagogy where new and previously unthought collective climate action is possible. This inquiry contributes to understanding school climate strikes as important forms of climate justice activism by exploring how they work as public…

The objective of the current study was to identify an effective learning environment for kindergarten students as they acquire an initial understanding of scientific inquiry activities (SIA) and a simple (idealized) scientific inquiry cycle (SIC). The study aimed to examine (a) the effects of instructional support and (b) the role of similarity…
