The aim of this article is to buid a Guide to the Analysis of Probability Textbook Lessons for secondary education (students aged 12-14), using the framework of Didactic Suitability. The facets, components and indicators of the didactic suitability construct are applied to categorize and organize didactic-mathematical knowledge on teaching and…

Flipped classrooms (FCs) in K-12 schools are growing in popularity. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings on the effects of FCs, and the conditions under which FCs are effective remain unclear. This three-level meta-analysis synthesized the effects of FCs versus traditional classrooms (TCs) on various learning domains among…

The internship is a crucial component of principal preparation. This systematic research review aims to build on two prior syntheses of existing research on principal internships. We employed an exhaustive review of five search engines for empirical studies on principal internships in the United States between 2010 and 2023. Our search yielded 92…

Background/purpose: This research aimed to study the basic information and needs for the development of an instructional model based on meaningful learning theory to improve lesson design ability for early childhood Pre-Service teachers, develop the model, and study the results of implementation. Materials/methods: The sample group consists of two…

Professional competence and career adaptability are essential for preparing students to meet modern healthcare demands. However, there is a paucity of evidence to guide teaching and learning of these constructs in the context of Level I fieldwork (FW). This paper details a Level I FW program re-design using a professional competence framework to…

First-Year Experience (FYE) courses are found in colleges across the United States to support students' transition to college (McBride et al., 2021, "Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition" 33:99-119, Young & Keup, 2016, "New Directions for Community Colleges" 2016:57-69). This study explored how…

An elective course on chemical process separations has been developed to provide upper-level undergraduate students the opportunity to develop expertise in evaluating and potentially improving energy consumption in distillation operations. This paper presents examples of the work submitted to illustrate the pedagogy of the class. These examples…

One of the most important goals for vocational agriculture education in Burundi (ITAB) is to develop the sustainable agriculture competencies of students. Competence-based education (CBE) is the current official approach for ITAB curriculum design. The present study aimed to examine to what extent the ITAB curriculum addresses sustainable…

There has been ongoing research into qualitative differentiation of university student learning outcomes but limited attempts to explain the extent to which material elements such as learning technologies contribute to these differences. A theory of materiality for the university student experience is essential if teachers are to design and teach…

The increasing disconnection of children from nature is a growing concern for both sustainability education and child development. Green grounds of schools and kindergartens offer a promising way to counteract this trend by expanding opportunities for outdoor learning. This pilot study aims (1) to examine the natural and infrastructural…

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare is reshaping clinical practice and redefining the competencies required of healthcare professionals. Despite growing recognition of AI literacy as an educational priority, current efforts to assess this competency remain fragmented, lacking theoretical coherence and…

This meta-analysis synthesized 18 qualified studies, resulting in 29 effect sizes. This study involved a total sample of 1,280 students to evaluate the effectiveness of Engineering Design Process (EDP)-based instructional approaches in STEM education. Eligible studies were systematically selected through inclusion and exclusion criteria following…

This toolkit offers guidance on how to implement efficient, engaging, and effective enhanced outreach to students. It includes both messaging strategies and ways to analyze the results of outreach messaging to determine what is working and what is not. The guidance in this toolkit explains how to craft messages and analyze engagement data to…

An ethical and compliant research ecosystem is essential for progress in STEM research. Educators play a crucial role in fostering this environment by raising students' awareness of critical topics, such as research and publication ethics, as outlined in their curriculum. Cultivating an ethical culture among all stakeholders at higher education…

This reflective inquiry reports on the experiences of a working group at Arizona State University (ASU) that, over the course of four months, built, integrated, and iterated artificial intelligence (AI) solutions into their daily work as research administrators. During this process, the group focused on creating AI solutions for the complex,…
