Science Olympiad is a K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competition that engages approximately 7,000 teams across the U.S. in individual and team challenges at regional, state, and national levels. Science Olympiad began expanding to include elementary students in 2008. Yet, little is known about the adults who…

Digitalization is an unavoidable benefits of modern life Digital transformation and change continue to be experienced in every field. Adolescents have accessed many apps, including those related to their academic life, online in the past year. It is vital for the health of adolescents that researchers identify their Internet addictions and come up…

This Perspectives on Practice manuscript focuses on an innovation associated with "Engaging Teachers in the Powerful Combination of Mathematical Modeling and Social Justice: The Flint Water Task" from Volume 7, Issue 2 of "MTE". The Flint Water Task has shown great promise in achieving the dual goals of exploring mathematical…

In the information age, the acquisition of data literacy skills has become increasingly important for undergraduate student success, yet these skills are not emphasized in the lecture setting. Here we present a study to inspire educators to scaffold graph knowledge and interpretation into their classrooms. Specifically, we sought to understand how…

The purpose of this manuscript is to explore how students perceive that online practices have enabled their participation in university physics programmes. In order to conceptualise how students bridge their science participation across physical and online spaces, we make use of the learning ecology perspective. This perspective is complemented…

Early learning agendas are currently being introduced in early childhood education and care (ECEC) by transnational organizations such as the EU and OECD. In this paper, we focus on Denmark, where such agendas interweave with a pedagogical tradition emphasizing a child-centered approach and children's play. Based on ethnographic research, we…

Background: How to improve learning with online multimedia lessons has attracted widespread concern. Prior studies have attempted to help students learn by breaking a video lesson into several segments. However, there has been a debate about whether learners can use pause time effectively and whether prompting them to engage in different types of…

Students' mental health and well-being are increasingly recognized as urgent and important needs in engineering education. Mindfulness-based interventions, in which students learn and practice present-focused techniques such as meditation and deep breathing, have been demonstrated to positively affect college students' well-being. The use of such…

When working with beginning instrumentalists, many music educators emphasize executive skills specific to the mechanics of playing an instrument. However, beginning students can also benefit from focused vocal instruction as a complement to their musical growth in the instrumental setting. Because instrumental music educators may feel ill equipped…

A universal approach to characterizing sport-related physical activity (PA) types in sport settings does not yet exist. Young adults (n = 30), 19-33 years, engaged in a 15-min activity session, performing warm-ups, 3-on-3 soccer, and 3-on-3 basketball. Videos were recorded and manually coded as criterion PA types (walking, running, jumping, rapid…

Experienced provers employ a host of skills when assessing the validity of a justification, often without names for those skills. This paper offers an introduction to a lens called Toulmin analysis that can help make sense of this process. Then this paper describes both an in-class module to help students learn to apply Toulmin analysis and…

Determining the factors that influence implementation of school-based wellbeing and health programs is essential for achieving desired program effects. Using a convergent mixed-methods, multiple informant design, this study considered factors that influence implementation of health programs for ninth grade students and in what ways implementation…

This paper presents an educational program for children with disabilities implemented in conjunction with a temporary exhibition of visual artists with disabilities in a museum in Greece. Through the description of the exhibition, the design and implementation of the educational program, and the creative activities offered, the authors identify…

Habermas' construct of rationality is a tool adapted from social sciences into mathematics education to identify the difficulties in the proving process and to plan the teaching of proof for reducing these difficulties. According to Habermas, people engaged in an activity/action are considered to "act rationally" if they choose and use…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies offer the potential to support digital content creation and media production, providing opportunities for individuals from diverse sociodemographic backgrounds to engage in creative activities and enhance their multimedia video content. However, less attention has been paid to…
