The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) employ a global indicator framework to detail each Goal and monitor its implementation. This article focuses on three targets from the indicator framework, which call for mainstreaming education for "global citizenship," "sustainable development," and "climate…

The definition of storytelling and how it is being used has changed. This is also true when using storytelling in the classroom. What should remain central is how narrative is used in the classroom. The National Council of Teachers of English's Committee on Storytelling advocates that storytelling and the use of story needs to be a key…

Argumentation skills are important for students to analyze and evaluate critical information, especially in complex science issues. Socio-Scientific Real-world Inquiry [SSRI] learning helps students develop deep scientific understanding and the ability to build evidence-based arguments in a real context. This study aimed to examine the…

The purpose of the study was to explore the definition of fidelity in the delivery of the Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE). The conceptual framework utilized in this study was the key domains affecting curriculum fidelity. This framework has four parts focusing on (1) school context, (2) curriculum implementation systems, (3)…

Describing and analyzing teaching practice has been a focus of researchers interested in the interaction and connections between teachers' content knowledge and their pedagogical knowledge. This study described the role of a teacher's mathematical content and pedagogical content knowledge in involving students in learning and solving Science,…

Information problem solving (IPS) is an important twenty-first century skill, but it is lacking at all age levels. One type of information problem, those of an ill-structured nature that require multiple iterations of (re)defining problems and formulating emerging solutions, can be particularly challenging but have received less attention in the…

This article explores the use of the circle as a shape metaphor in qualitative and education research and particularly in research designs. Circles dominate the shape metaphors found in the literature and the paper argues that this is because circles have key features that align well with designing and conducting qualitative research. Circles…

The current study used sequential analysis to examine dual-language learners' (DLLs) questions and their relations to teacher responses in the context of small-group shared reading in preschool. Participants were 235 DLLs aged 3-5 years and 60 lead teachers from multiethnic preschool classrooms in Norway. Results showed that across four different…

This study comprehensively investigates the factors influencing university choice among Vietnamese high school students in the context of digitalization. By employing structural equation modelling with partial least squares, the research analyzes survey data from 1,049 students to reveal the significant direct and indirect effects of effort…

Following the launch of the generative AI Web application, Ask.SMILE, designed to evaluate the cognitive levels of questions asked, 2559 educators generated 25,973 question-feedback sets over a three-month period, with an average of over 10 questions per participant. Analyses revealed a significant improvement in question quality from initial…

Technology education aims to enhance students' technological literacy. Strengthening students' technological literacy through deliberations on technology can promote their engagement as citizens and encourage them to consider socio-scientific and sustainability issues related to technology in society. However, students tend to regard technology as…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a practice-oriented approach where students pose questions, conduct investigations, and interpret data to develop scientific knowledge and exploratory skills. Learning analytics (LA) holds great potential to capture these dynamic processes, which provides valuable insights to understand student inquiry behaviours…

This study was conducted to further explore the possible mechanism behind the finding that rural teachers are disadvantaged for participation in inquiry-based working compared to their urban counterparts. School organisation factors are the most obvious mediating variables since they can be easily connected with wider school regional features and…

This study delves into the realm of student conceptual change, examining shifting understandings as important steppingstones on the path to sensemaking and canonical understanding in science education. It explores the potential of a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) curriculum, aiming to provide equitable learning…
