The electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is a critical step in many green chemistry processes. The key to the efficiency of water electrolysis is the synthesis of an appropriate electrocatalyst. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an increasingly important part of many industrial processes. In this study, we propose an efficient laboratory…

Background: In fourth grade, students must solve single- and multi-step word problems during classroom instruction and on standardized tests. The majority of mathematics items on high-stakes assessments are word problems; thus, word-problem proficiency is necessary to demonstrate successful mathematics performance. However, many students are…

The purpose of this study was to explore participants' value ratings of specific methods course topics in the choral teaching preparedness of non-choral music education majors. Forty-four university/college level choral methods instructors, identified through the College Music Society membership list, participated in the survey. Participants rated…

In this article, we analyze contradictions, complexities, limits, and potentialities of internationalization of higher education (IHE) from Latin American decolonial perspectives. We argue that even when scholars may be holding decolonial critiques and aspirations towards IHE, the structures of universities are heavily influenced by colonial…

With the pivot back to on-campus teaching, many students find themselves in an unfamiliar learning environment: the lecture theatre. This can result in low rates of participation in lectures, especially with a diverse student demographic, including English as an Additional Language students. This can result in exclusion from learning for these…

As these LGBTQ+ student populations grow in higher education institutions, it is important to understand not only the on-campus experiences of LGBTQ+ students but also the experiences of these student populations when they study abroad. The results of a 2015 study suggest that LGBTQ+ students are more likely than heterosexual and cisgender…

A reflexive thematic analysis is applied to focus group data to understand how students experienced working in partnership with university staff and clinical professionals to co-design aspects of the curriculum. A qualitative descriptive approach is used to examine power dynamics, hierarchies, and student voice. Four themes are identified:…

We previously (Gantt et al., 2023; Paoletti et al., 2021) identified items from the publicly released TIMSS 2011 assessments that had potential for students to employ covariational reasoning as a solution strategy. In this report, we explore the extent to which fourth-grade students' performance on such items in mathematics differed among 26…

In recent decades, a growing interest in studies of teacher identity in the field of English as a second language (ESL) teacher education research has developed. In order to better understand issues in teacher education, researchers need to explore how teacher identities are developed through the negotiations of their experiences. This study…

Since at least 2001, an emphasis has been placed on the use of evidence-based practices in schools to close achievement gaps. Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) emerged during this time as a framework of evidence-based practices adopted by nearly all U.S. states including Georgia. When implemented with fidelity, MTSS has the potential to close…

The low student enrollment in respiratory care programs nationwide has led to a pipeline shortage of respiratory care practitioners. The deficit of essential health care workers, such as respiratory care practitioners, has resulted in staffing shortages and resource strains in hospitals nationwide. The purpose of this study was to research the…

Although substantive research examines the issues surrounding the lack of Black Male Teachers (BMTs) nationally, limited studies involve their experiences in international schools. This is troubling when juxtaposed with their experiences researched and documented during teacher training, hiring practices, and on the job in the U.S. Although the…

Purpose: In a technological era driven by coding, programming and artificial intelligence (AI), there is more need than ever to develop computing skills and knowledge for non-specialist students. Nonetheless, the literature on computer science teaching methods of non-scientific majors is not as comprehensive as that of scientific ones.…

This study aims to compare two different learning environments designed online in terms of their contributions to the development of mathematical modelling competencies. In the research, which was designed with the triangulation method, among the mixed research methods in which the qualitative and quantitative research methods are used together.…

Sourcing is the ability to evaluate information by analysing source parameters such as author's expertise on a given topic. Past research, mostly based on school-related materials and tasks, shows that adolescents do not pay attention to source parameters when evaluating online scientific information. However, recent research has suggested that…
