The research surrounding elite adult athletes has shown that these athletes consistently experience mental health difficulties. The prevalence rates of mental health disorders among the adult elite athlete population are at much higher rates than the average adult population. This includes substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and eating…

The current study was carried out to examine the effectiveness of the use of direct instruction together with the digital dialogue cards in teaching English introductory phrases and mutual dialogue to students with intellectual disabilities was studied. The study started with four students with mild intellectual disability, however, one student…

The 2016 presidential election marked the beginning of a so-called "post-truth era" in which mis- and disinformation have contributed to political polarization and violence, the acceleration of global warming, and thousands of preventable deaths. In this paper, I draw on the results of a 2-week, practitioner inquiry-informed case study…

This study explored the relationship between domains of parental involvement and students' academic achievement in elementary, middle, and high schools. The participants were 121,635 students in China. Results from multilevel linear models indicated that the relationships between domains of parental involvement and students' academic achievement…

College planning has transformed into a complex digital dance, where Instagram stories matter as much as campus tours and AI chatbots answer midnight questions about application deadlines. Colleges and universities need to be aligned with the expectations of today's college-bound high school students in order to engage them where they are in their…

The abstract should be in Palatino Linotype as the font type, 9 pt., between 150-250 words. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the 7E instructional strategy on the achievement and retention of SS II (11th grade) Biology students in public secondary schools in Nigeria. Intact classes of 60 students were randomly selected and…

In this study, we investigated the validity of a stealth assessment of physics understanding in an educational game, as well as the effectiveness of different game-level delivery methods and various in-game supports on learning. Using a game called "Physics Playground," we randomly assigned 263 ninth- to eleventh-grade students into four…

Background: Engagement with school is a key predictor of students' academic outcomes, yet little is known about its association with personality. No research has considered this association using Cloninger's biopsychosocial model of personality. This model may be particularly informative because it posits the structure of human personality…

Learners' difficulties with proof have been ascribed to their lack of understanding of functions that proof performs in mathematics, namely, verification, explanation, communication, discovery, and systematization. However, the extant mathematics education literature on validation of instruments designed to measure learners' beliefs about the…

Learning progressions are theoretical models that describe learning of scientific ideas and practices over time. These hypothetical progressions need to be tested and refined in order to productively inform instruction and assessment. In this paper, we report our attempts to revise a learning progression in genetics. In particular, we focused on…

This study focuses on examining the mental models of 11th and 12th-grade students attending a science high school in Turkey regarding the concept of the electron cloud. The study involved 72 students and employed the case study method. The precondition for selecting the sample was that the students had covered the unit on modern atomic theory in…

In biology learning, the object of a virus cannot be seen directly. Augmented reality (AR) technology can help visualize the object of a virus in 3D, making it easier for students to learn about viruses. Therefore, this research aims to develop an AR-based learning media product called ARVi. ARVi was created using the ADDIE model, which consists…

In recent years, environmental problems have been increasing rapidly around the world and affecting a wide range of environments. Many campaigns are carried out to raise awareness about environmental problems. This study aims to determine the ideas of students at different education levels about environmental problems and to compare these ideas…

There is increasing recognition of the importance of learning contexts in science education. However, learning contexts are rarely articulated in terms of what they constitute and are often framed by educators and textbooks with limited inputs from students. Unless properly articulated, contexts become anything and everything, thereby losing their…

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly shaping our society. Among various AI tools, ChatGPT stands out for its user-friendly nature and wide accessibility to the public.
