To address the gap in research, this study focused on the central question, "what is the experience of participants that have…

The question of grouping students into homogeneous and heterogeneous groups is not new, but it does not find an unambiguous answer in the literature, especially in mathematics. In this paper, we address the question of whether grouping students into homogeneous and heterogeneous groups in mathematics improves their knowledge. The quasi-experiment…

In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards advocate for the integration of computational thinking (CT) as a science and engineering practice. Additionally, there is agreement among some educational researchers that increasing opportunities for engaging in computational thinking can lend authenticity to classroom activities. This…

The purpose of the study was to investigate teachers' use of open-ended questions in classrooms. The study was conducted by using a mixed-methods design.

The indispensable relationship between Research and Statistics makes the teaching of both courses crucial in all postgraduate programmes. However, over the years, postgraduate students have displayed a high level of anxiety in studying Statistics. Therefore, exploiting the descriptive case study strategy knitted within the sequential explanatory…

This study aims to determine the correlational effect sizes between teacher relationships and student academic achievement. Teacher relationships were categorized as intrapersonal and interpersonal relationship types. Intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships are directed at different individuals. Intrapersonal relations refer to the inner…

The world relies on authentic research that guides legislation, policy formulations, and governmental and corporate actions. Therefore, researchers globally should be aware of academic integrity and publication ethics. This research delved into plagiarism that severely undermines any scientific study. It explores the relationship between adverse…

Recent research has reported that prospective teachers fail to acquire sufficient content knowledge and develop strong teaching self-efficacy. According to a large and growing body of literature, instructional behaviours that result in "autonomy support, structure, and involvement" significantly contribute to student outcomes at all…

First-generation college students comprise a sizable number of the student population in colleges and universities across the nation. As faculty are tasked with teaching and supporting these students in their courses, it is important to consider the alignment of faculty perspectives and the needs of first-generation students. This study explored…

Building on the framework presented in the best-selling "Creating Cultures of Thinking," Ron Ritchhart's new book, "Cultures of Thinking in Action," takes the next step in helping readers not only understand how a culture of thinking looks and feels, but also how to create it for themselves and their learners. Arguing that no…

Although behavior-specific praise (BSP) is a recommended practice for early childhood populations, early childhood educators often deliver variable rates of BSP. To support educators, face-to-face, school-based consultation may be provided; however, this may not always be feasible. To address this, emerging research is beginning to investigate the…

It is important to note that the development of pre-service teachers' noticing abilities does not happen spontaneously; hence, assistance programs are crucial. This qualitative study aimed to examine pre-service teachers' noticing of student thinking within the context of lesson study. Three pre-service teachers conducted three lesson study…

This research examined how a Digital Escape Room (DER) about accessibility contributed to the potential change of faculty behavioral intentions toward developing accessible online course content. This paper describes the design of the DER and a pilot study of its initial implementation that consisted of two phases, (1 a usability test with 3…
