The green transition is reshaping labour markets, creating demand for a workforce able to support low-carbon economies. Vocational education and training (VET) plays a key role in preparing workers for green jobs, especially in sectors like construction, transport, and energy. Nearly one-quarter of young VET graduates work in…

Nowadays, it is widely accepted that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can promote positive changes in the teaching and learning process. This study explores how ICTs can be used in teaching and learning to enhance students' conceptual understanding and reasoning skills in mathematics. A mixed method case study (convergent parallel)…

In elementary school classrooms, Computational Thinking (CT) teaching often is embedded in problem- or project-based pedagogies and involves programming using Educational Robotics. Little is known, however, about how children solve problems in these contexts, and how task designs influence which CT and problem-solving processes they apply. In this…

This systematic review synthesizes the effects of mathematics vocabulary interventions on the mathematics outcomes of students with mathematics difficulty (MD) in Grades K through 12. We evaluated methodological rigor using three indicators: research design, implementation fidelity, and instruction in the counterfactual. Six peer-reviewed studies…

This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design to investigate the effects of the Online Flipped Peer Dynamic Assessment (OFPDA) approach on the academic writing skills of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. 48 EFL learners at an Iranian university participated in the study through convenience sampling. Learners were…

This study explores how Google Assistant can enhance the speaking skills of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners with an emphasis on involvement, pronunciation, accuracy, and fluency. The study addresses the main question of whether Google Assistant helps EFL students become more proficient speakers through various approaches. A total of…

Employability skills are continually changing, and the workforce provides the transparency needed for the success of business employment. Workplace readiness skills and human capital theory form the backbone for organizational success and sustainability. This study examined employers' perceptions of workplace readiness skills at the expected…

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) fosters student engagement and enhances the learning process through active problem-solving. However, limited research has explored its specific impact on the speaking skills of students with varying personality traits. This study investigates the influence of PBL on the speaking proficiency of introverted and…

This paper describes teachers' practices and their perceptions regarding the teaching and learning of oral language in Catalan schools. We used the Assessment Scale for Oral Language Teaching in School Settings (EVALOE) instrument, created and validated with the aim of assessing teachers' practices for promoting the development of language skills…

We examined longitudinal relations between 1st-grade cognitive predictors (early nonverbal reasoning, processing speed, listening comprehension, working memory, calculation skill, word-problem solving, word-reading fluency, attentive behavior, and numerical cognition) and 2nd-grade academic outcomes (calculations, word-problem solving, and word…

In this research, pre-service science teachers' writings written in a biology laboratory course were examined and the development of writings skills was monitored from the critical thinking skills perspective. In this context, the preservice teachers were asked to design and build a fully enclosed ecosystem model (bottle ecosystem), collect data…

Knowledge, skills, and attitudes of teachers in developing critical thinking skills are very much needed to train students' basic thinking skills. This descriptive quantitative study described the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of teachers in developing critical thinking skills in elementary school students. The data collection employed a…

Civil engineering is rapidly evolving as research discoveries, technological evolution, and changing regulations alter the state of practice. To adapt to the advancement of the field, engineers must have the ability to be lifelong learners. While a number of studies have focused on developing lifelong learning skills among undergraduates, far…

Simple mean differences summarized in meta-analyses do not always adequately describe sex similarities and differences. We investigated sex similarities and differences in academic achievement test scores during childhood and adolescence multiple ways based on composite and subtest scores from the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (Third…
