But, so much of what we learned in "Wondrous Words" holds true today. In this new reimagined edition, Katie Wood Ray revisits some of…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been introduced into tools and technologies, such as chatbots, for language teaching, allowing educators to better meet the needs of individual students. Chatbots may act as virtual tutors in online learning environments, giving students the ability to access leaning support as needed. Chatbots can improve…

The present study is a short-term intervention program aimed at cultivating children's creativity based on the 'butterfly model' of nurturing creativity, adopting a 2 × 3 mixed experimental design with placebo and no-treatment groups. They also received the equal intervention after the experimental group finished for the sake of fairness to all…

The effects of massed versus distributed learning have been well studied in the verbal and motor learning literature, with findings suggesting enhanced outcomes from distributing learning over time. However, some studies have found limited evidence to support enhanced outcomes from distributed learning when applied to an entire academic course.…

Developing students' mathematical creativity constitutes a key objective in curricula worldwide. Although teachers recognize their key role in fostering mathematical creativity, research indicates a discrepancy between their beliefs and classroom practices--the "creativity gap". Professional development programs have enhanced teachers'…

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…

Purpose: This study investigated the ineffectiveness of public speaking competence (PSC) in fostering employability. By analyzing the competency-training gap, it offers insights into vocational education and training (VET) concerning market-related generic skills. Design/methodology/approach: An integrative review was conducted, qualitatively…

Integrating intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in educational frameworks has proven to be an essential strategy for enhancing teaching effectiveness and student learning across various disciplines. ILOs serve as precise statements outlining the knowledge and competencies that students should acquire by the end of a course or lesson, functioning as…

This study seeks to understand the experiences of a teacher who has participated in professional learning that focuses on the values, beliefs, and enjoyment that primary school teachers experience about mathematics teaching. Using a quantitative ethnography methodology, an epistemic network analysis was applied to understand these changes…

The U.S. must find ways to engage all of its population in advancing scientific and technological work. This must include efforts to admit and educate a more diverse array of students in terms of pre-college opportunity and preparation, as well as provide supportive environments and experiences to help these students succeed. For these efforts to…

Interventions to redress the apartheid education's negative impact on the education and training systems of the previously disadvantaged groups in South Africa include the implementation of recognition of prior learning (RPL). The paper attempts to qualitatively assess emerging farmers' individual perspectives by analysing their cognitive and…

This teaching brief highlights innovative adaptations of established pedagogical techniques to equip students with critical skills for success in Industry 4.0. More specifically, this brief focuses on two courses: an undergraduate Operations and Supply Chain Management course and an MBA Supply Chain Management course, both designed to foster…

Continuous revision policies provide sizable benefits to students, though one previously unexplored avenue of research is how such policies can help students develop a growth mindset. For the purposes of this article, a "continuous revision policy" is one in which students can revise their work on a rolling basis up until a predetermined…

This study investigated the role of co-teaching in the development of students' mathematics motivation and achievement. More specifically, we examined how sixth-grade students' (N = 146) mathematics self-concept and individual interest changed over one school year, how these changes were related to each other and to mathematics achievement, and,…

The aim of this study is to reveal the impact of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) on students' ability to come up with the rules of divisibility themselves and on their academic achievement in the 8th grade Mathematics course as well as to obtain students' views on the learning and teaching process, through the use of a mixed-methods sequential…
