'Success' is a frequently cited yet ambiguously defined term in mathematics education, often carrying contradictory meanings and messages. We surveyed 139 Australian teachers of mathematics to determine their conceptions of 'success'. This paper documents teachers' responses to an alternate word or phrase for 'success'. Thematic analysis…

The concept of a free body diagram is central to Mechanical Engineering. Beyond its correct layout, a series of analysis concepts in the development of this skill allows one to visualise, understand, and analyse mechanisms and other complex applications. The correct assessment of the skill goes beyond the simple application of a test because it is…

Health Science fields have unique needs, resources, priorities, and barriers when considering how to integrate research into the undergraduate experience. Many undergraduate research experiences (UREs) in science disciplines are course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) or apprenticeship experiences, but these may not be suitable for…

When students first encounter variables in algebra, they often develop the Letter-as-Object misconception, interpreting letters as labels for objects rather than references to numerical values. This study analysed the response patterns of 2220 German Year 7 and 8 students (aged 12-14) using the SMART test 'Meaning of Letters', designed to assess…

Several studies demonstrate the importance of science education in early childhood. By using scientific practices in class, children can better comprehend the world around them, test hypotheses and develop positive attitudes towards science. These early experiences not only build a solid foundation for understanding abstract and concepts but also…

Objective: This review aims to identify and summarize the key characteristics of critical thinking (CT) education for children aged 5 to 12. Method: A systematic review was conducted using four databases, covering publications from 2010 to December 2021. Sixteen studies were selected and synthesized following the Preferred Reporting Items for…

Narrative is an important communication skill for sharing personal experiences and connecting with others. Narrative skills are often impacted in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and have important consequences for social interactions and relationships. Subtle differences in narrative have also been reported among first-degree relatives of autistic…

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) integrates technology into plant systems to optimize crop performance. This case study outlines the initial strides in developing a CEA curriculum through an integrative approach. This involved consulting stakeholders at international, national, and local levels, including targeted industry professionals,…

In rater-mediated assessment, annotating refers to a process in which raters note, comment, and/or mark on scripts while assessing. While annotations are studied as written corrective feedback that enhances learners' performance, their impact on raters' assessment processes and outcomes remains unclear. We conducted a quasi-experiment to explore…

Most refugees in countries of permanent resettlement arrive from first-asylum countries -- countries where refugees initially move to escape crisis in their homelands. Their pre-resettlement educational experiences have largely been undocumented. This qualitative ethnographic study describes the literacy practices of four elementary-aged Afghan…

This study explores the perceptions and experiences related to agricultural educators in Minnesota who have used digital media production tools and concepts as learning activities in the classroom. As the cost associated with digital media production equipment and software continues to decrease, this technology is becoming more accessible and…

Introduction: This article covers the technical development and usability testing of "4to24," a mobile application (app) for students with visual impairments and their parents. The app includes information and resources on numerous topics to support and encourage preparation for employment from an early age. Methods: We partnered with…

Throughout their careers in education, the authors of this article have had opportunities to listen to the stories of their students. Their students have shared experiences and the impact of these experiences on their beliefs, identities, and confidence in doing mathematics. These stories have inspired them to reflect on their own practices and…
