Teaching practices used by teachers influence students' achievement of learning outcomes. These practices may be explored from students' perspectives. Because gender may influence students' perceptions of learning environments, this study explored gender differences in students' perceptions of teaching practices employed in their biology…

Research has shown video modeling to be effective for training adult service providers to administer evidence-based practices to children with autism. This study examined the effects of video modeling training (VMT) on neurotypical adolescents' performance of peer mediated social interaction (PMSI), a 10-step procedure of simplified behavioral…

In this paper, we discuss our experience in collaborating with mathematicians to increase their use of active learning pedagogy in a proof-based linear algebra course. The mathematicians we worked with valued using active learning pedagogy to increase student engagement but were reluctant to use active learning pedagogy due to time constraints.…

This study identified the number of natural environment picturebooks read by young children in Chinese and Korean picturebook libraries and analyzed their content from an ecocritical perspective. The findings indicate that, first, although the number of natural environment picturebooks read by children is higher in Korea than in China, in both…

We discuss how research on student difficulties was used as a guide to develop, validate, and evaluate a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) to help students learn how to determine the completely symmetric bosonic or completely antisymmetric fermionic wave function and be able to compare and contrast them from the case when the particles…

Teachers are vital for the integration of immigrant, refugee and asylum-seeking students; however, they are not often prepared or supported to meet the needs of these students. Teacher training programs rarely focus on strategies and interventions for immigrant students' needs, and even less on the special situations of refugee and asylum-seeking…

This study investigates the effectiveness of a culturo-techno-contextual approach (CTCA) in teaching flowcharts and algorithms to junior secondary school students. Despite their importance in programming, these concepts are often difficult for students to grasp. The study involved 196 students (average age 12) who were divided into experimental…

Developing an inclusive learning environment in early childhood education (ECE) is vital because it prepares children for future success in school and society by recognising and responding to their differences. The objective of the present study was to explore the mediational effect of student engagement (SE) between the relationship of inclusive…

This study examines the effectiveness of ICT training programmes for academics at selected universities in Africa, specifically in Cameroon, Nigeria, and South Africa. Using a qualitative approach, we conducted semi-structured interviews with five ICT trainers and three trainees to better understand their experiences. The findings highlight both…

With mounting polarization in the political arena and media sources, trust of one's neighbors and of teachers are facing increasing strain in the United States. Furthermore, teachers continue to struggle with how to teach high-quality, nuanced, social studies, especially in the elementary setting, where time and resources for social studies has…

Introduction: Recent advancements in generative AI (GAI) platforms appear to mark an abrupt shift in higher education. Statement of the Problem: Instructors have a responsibility to teach students to use GAI, which is a promising tool for promoting personalized, student-centered, process-focused learning environments. Literature Review: Drawing on…

In recent years, there has been an increase in the integration of socioscientific issues (SSI) into educational practices, which are recognized for enhancing higher-order thinking, scientific literacy, ethical considerations, and civic engagement. SSI teaching equips students to tackle global challenges, although they are complex challenges for…

Tibetan folk songs, as vital components of China's intangible cultural heritage, are under increasing threat from modernization, educational standardization, and cultural homogenization. This study investigates effective educational strategies for the transmission of Tibetan folk songs within the context of multicultural China. Conducted in six…
