Natural language is known to play a crucial and specific role for children's learning in school mathematics. Not only does it carry special vocabulary, but subtle differences between natural languages may lead to surprising challenges, for instance, for learners who are not taught mathematics in their mother tongue. In this paper, the…

Although innovation is widely recognised as a cornerstone of contemporary engineering, empirical studies consistently show that undergraduate electrical-engineering students lag behind industry expectations in rapidly translating interdisciplinary concepts into functional prototypes. These findings underscore the need to comprehensively reform…

Structure-function relationships are a core concept in many STEM disciplines. Most biology curricula introduce students to macromolecules, their building blocks, and other small molecules that play key roles in biological processes. However, the shapes, interactions, and functions of these molecules are often discussed using schematic diagrams,…

This book offers a concise and comprehensive review of theories and practical guidelines on how to adopt a task-based approach to second language (L2) reading instruction. The various chapters within and across the book bridge the boundaries between L2 reading research and classroom practices. Each chapter provides concrete teaching suggestions…

Relations of reading and math skills are well-documented. Using open randomized reading intervention data, we examined a reading intervention's impact on math fluency and problem-solving as well as the mechanisms of reading intervention's relation to math fluency. Twenty-eight teachers and 511 first-grade students (82% White, 6% Hispanic, 53%…

This article explores the role writing teachers play as access-makers. Invoking theories of embodiment, relationality, disability, social justice, and making, the article offers a "techne" of access as rhetorical framework for developing and implementing accessible writing pedagogies. "Techne" is often associated with processes…

With three groups of first-grade French children, we tested different spelling teaching strategies, and notably the effectiveness of individualized teaching approach adapted to each child's pace of learning and words already known, compared with traditional strategies identical for all children. An experimental group was offered individualized…

Engagement with research has long been recognized as a key driver of improved language teaching practices and teachers' professional growth. Yet, language teaching practitioners often remain distanced from research activities, thus perpetuating a well-documented gap between research and practice. While much of the existing scholarship has centered…

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…

This study explores how interactive classroom games can improve Grade 12 students' performance in Physical Science at Sibagat National High School, Agusan del Sur. The implementation of gamification in science education has been an intriguing area for many researchers as it is something familiar to students, and at the same time, it draws their…

The number of single adult households has increased over the previous decades, and few health education interventions address these unique living situations, which come with various economic challenges. The "Cooking for One" curriculum is a cooking-based intervention designed to improve nutrition, food safety, food resource management,…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays an increasingly important role in language education; however, the trends, research issues, and applications of AI in language learning remain largely under-investigated. Accordingly, the present paper, using bibliometric analysis, investigates these issues via a review of 516 papers published between 2000 and…

This article focuses on describing a systematic model for constructing, describing, and interpreting logarithmic diagrams as a graphical method for representing redox chemical equilibria. This model considers concepts such as electron potential (p[subscript e]), the chemical equilibrium constant (K[subscript d]), and the standard reduction…

Purpose: Ultimately, the study contributes to theoretical and empirical inquiry by offering a pedagogically grounded framework for understanding educational leadership. Design/methodology/approach: Grounded in pedagogical theory, it highlights two key aspects of educational leadership. First, it underscores the inherently pedagogical nature of…

In recent years, learners worldwide have expressed increasing interest in mobile learning and the utilization of mobile devices for language learning purposes. However, few research synthesis studies have focused on pronunciation development in relation to employing MALL (mobile-assisted language learning). This review article contributes to the…
