Humans' participation positively impacts society and individuals, suggesting that children's participation in activities carried out in supportive environments promotes positive health and the development of key capacities. COVID-19 abruptly changed the daily lives of children and their caregivers due to the general duty of home confinement with…

This article considers innovative research in neuroscience and psychology showing that we need to transform environmental storytelling, moving away from stories focused on awareness raising, to ones which develop people's capacity for action. We investigate how this knowledge might be applied in an environmental education context, developing a…

Dashboards have become a crucial element of contemporary business operation and management; therefore, it is desirable for business students to acquire knowledge of them. This article investigates the effectiveness of designing learning activities around investment dashboards in the context of introductory business analytics (IBA) courses. We…

Traditional methods of teaching differentiation calculus usually involve lectures. Nevertheless, this process impedes students' thorough comprehension of concepts and their practical application by promoting dependence on memorisation and procedural learning. Numerous studies have also denoted that teaching experiments and technology can enhance…

Given the great potential of integrating Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Language Learning (AIALL) to enhance language learning outcomes, there is a growing interest in exploring their combined effects. In this vein, the present study aimed to develop and test an interactive pedagogical model of…

"Leveraging AI for Human-Centered Learning" provides intentional approaches to the integration of artificial intelligence tools into middle and high school classrooms, specifically to foster equity and social-emotional wellbeing. The overlap of AI with today's schools poses pivotal questions about ethics, morality, inclusion, and human…

This study investigates the differences in attitudes and awareness among science teachers regarding the design of instructional activities and their influence on students' environmental awareness and conservation. It compares large provincial secondary schools with medium-sized secondary schools, collecting data from 41 teachers and 88 students…

This research aimed to (1) investigate changes in attitudes towards learning STEM and coding, innovativeness, and entrepreneurial attitudes, and (2) synthesize characteristics and evaluate innovations to address problems after participating in an innovation camp for 180 early high school students. Activities included learning platforms to foster…

The aim of this study is to examine the learning and teaching processes of primary school pre-service teachers with high and low 21st century teaching skills. The study group of the study, in which the qualitative research method was used, consists of eight primary school pre-service teachers studying in the last year of a XXX University Education…

The authors argue that playable fictions and analog game design can be an effective way to engage students in discussions about climate change and related scientific areas of exploration. They offer the example of a middle school climate science education unit grounded in the design, analysis, and play of board games and card games based on a…

In order to be effective mathematics educators, teachers need more than content knowledge: they need to be able to make mathematics comprehensible and accessible to their students. Teaching Key Concepts in the Australian Mathematics Curriculum Years 7 to 10 ensures that pre-service and practising teachers in Australia have the tools and resources…

Purpose: This study aimed to understand how parents and librarians describe their lived experiences in a modern children's library that aims to create a triad bond through the organization of multiliteracy events and activities. Design/methodology/approach: The study used a phenomenological case study approach using two semistructured interviews,…

Reading motivation can greatly impact reading comprehension, but it tends to diminish in and beyond elementary school. This study employs knowledge building pedagogy to advance reading motivation and comprehension in an elementary Chinese language arts class. Participants were twenty-four third graders who spent one class period (ie, 40 minutes)…

There is growing interest among educational researchers in using heart rate variability (HRV) as an index of children's capacity to regulate their physiological arousal. Links between HRV and young children's self-regulation have, however, been inconsistent, and there is limited research on children's HRV in learning-related contexts. HRV was…

Embodied Cognition approaches suggest that movements influence the understanding of abstract concepts such as time. It follows that moving the arms as watch hands should boost children's learning to read the clock. In a school setting, we compared three learning conditions: an embodied (movement) condition, an interactive App condition, and a text…
