Mathematics courses should prepare students to use mathematics in a range of contexts, including science. However, students often struggle in applying mathematics in physics courses, even when they understand the mathematical content (Rebello et al., 2007). Often the root of this struggle is attributed to the "student" or the…

The textbook is a pedagogical tool that provides students and professionals with scientific information. As exercise is an important strategy for the prevention and treatment of noncommunicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and arterial hypertension, the presence of correct and up-to-date scientific information in exercise…

This study aims to investigate textbooks used to teach Turkish as a foreign language according to Turkish lecturers' perspectives.

Many college teachers have a required textbook(s) for their courses, yet textbooks often misrepresent facts both directly and indirectly -- through both the perspective and possible bias of the author(s) and/or the omission of information and events. As textbooks are primary sources of knowledge, and students believe the information to be true, it…

The philosophy of science (POS) has gained recognition for its contributions to science education, particularly in integrating the history and philosophy of science (HPS). However, the existing literature lacks a comprehensive review that systematically investigates the implications and limitations of POS in science education research. This study…

Textbooks have several important functions in science education. By interviewing six teachers, this study shows how secondary school science teachers perceive and use textbooks as resources, especially in inquiry teaching. The results show that textbooks aid inquiry teaching by offering teachers easily accessible suggestions for practical and…

For students in the digital era, the development of digital soft skills is necessary for them to face the new situations of digital transformation and evolution.

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Investigating and Improving Quantum Education through Research.] Instructors teaching upper-division quantum mechanics have had two primary options when it comes to textbook choice and thus curriculum sequence: starting with wave functions and the Schrödinger equation, referred to as "wave…

Globalisation has increasingly exposed citizens in religious-majority countries to diverse beliefs, opinions and practices. Teaching Islamic religious tolerance, particularly in the Middle East, is regarded as a viable approach to promoting tolerance. This study examines the extent to which Islamic religious tolerance concepts exist in Saudi…

This book enhances awareness of the legal issues surrounding public funding of faith-based schools in representative nations around the world. In this edited volume, contributors explore whether tax monies should support religious institutions in advancing their beliefs, and if such support inadvertently favors certain religions over others.…

This study investigates how pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) develop the capacity to plan mathematics lessons regarding reasoning and proving (R&P) at a time of curriculum change in Norway. Lesson planning poses challenges for both pre-service and experienced mathematics teachers. In this EU-funded intervention study, PMTs were led…
