The kernel of this paper was to investigate the state of intergenerational knowledge-sharing practices in a principals' professional learning community (PLC) at a selected South African education circuit. The paper was nested in a qualitative approach and the interpretivist paradigm. Deliberate and snowball sampling techniques were employed to…

This study examines the feasibility and potential advantages of using large language models, in particular GPT-4o, to perform partial credit grading of large numbers of student written responses to introductory level physics problems. Students were instructed to write down verbal explanations of their reasoning process when solving one conceptual…

The level of arithmetic knowledge of a high school student was explored when solving additive word problems considering the semantic structure and syntactic component. The methodology was qualitative and developed in four stages: the first is the selection of the participant, the second is the design of a questionnaire with twenty additive…

Recent technologies, like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), have revolutionised education. Whereas AR brings the content to life in the real world, VR makes it completely digital, and MR is a blend of both the physical and virtual worlds. This paper discusses how virtual technology could be used in higher…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reflections that arise during the implementation of mathematical modeling activities with third-grade primary school students. To achieve this goal, a case study methodology was employed. The study consisted of 9 third-grade students (average age 8), selected through purposive sampling from a public…

In mathematics education, representations are used in place of mathematical structures, ideas, or relationships to concretize, transform, and represent them. When students interact with these representations, they engage in various cognitive activities such as thinking, reasoning, understanding, remembering, problem-solving, attention, and…

A campus-wide student-formed consulting community provides an interdisciplinary co-curriculum service-learning opportunity that connects students from various disciplines across a Midwest university to work on sustainability challenges in the local community. Projects include using waste glass in construction materials, cutting carbon footprint by…

This research paper investigates the influence of Generation Z (born approx. 2000 and 2015) on contemporary educational practices, focusing on their experiences in the classroom and their development of transferable skills for the workplace. As digital natives who have grown up with continual exposure to technology and digital information,…

Background: High working memory capacity is associated with improved mathematical problem-solving skills. A leading theory about why working memory enhances problem-solving suggests that capable problem solvers might offload information from their working memory for later use. Aims: This study examined whether the ability to offload information…

The Innovation Scholars Program (ISP) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) targets the issue of organizational capacity development in higher education institutions (HEIs). HEI's are susceptible to patterns of isomorphic mimicry, manifested where institutions often replicate behaviors perceived to be ideal without developing internal capacities for…
