These policies, which suppress discussions of race, power, and systemic inequality, pose challenges to educators committed to fostering critical inquiry and social consciousness. This study examines how…

This document analyzes the knowledge of teachers who use digital technologies for mathematics instruction through an instrument called Technological Pedagogical Content Specialized Knowledge (TPCSK) combining open-ended questions and a self-perception scale. The results are based on a case study involving ten teachers from different educational…

Across the United States, White Christian Nationalism (WCN) has emerged in public discourse, policy, and practice around literacy education. Examining varied localized enactments of censorship further nuances accounts of how WCN asserts its vision for public literacy education.

This study examined the direct and indirect effects of foundational language (vocabulary and syntactic knowledge) and literacy (orthographic knowledge) skills, transcription (spelling and handwriting fluency), and higher-order cognitive skills (comprehension monitoring and inferencing making) on writing among Chinese children. Participants were…

Given the emphasis on critical thinking across the undergraduate curricula, research on argument visualization has significant implications for designing learning activities in higher education. This systematic review examines research on the use of argument maps or diagrams by postsecondary students. The goals were to identify the themes,…

With the rise of quantum computing, interest has grown in using two-state quantum systems (qubits) at the secondary level to foster students' conceptual understanding. Quantum measurement, in particular, is central to quantum theory and its accurate conceptualization by students is crucial for grasping fundamental quantum principles. However,…

This study examines the relationship between college educators' psychological adaptability and their work engagement within a Smart teaching environment, highlighting the novel role of digital information literacy self-efficacy as a partial mediator. Drawing on a sample of 373 university teachers, structural equation modelling reveals that all…

Drawing on research that informs effective literacy practices, this book pushes back on singular ideologies, programs, and divisive rhetoric and, instead, embraces an inclusive perspective for supporting literacy development and learning. Readers are encouraged to move beyond debates that divide us and look toward the hard but necessary work of…
