Purpose: Even though the pandemic years resulted in a significant increase in massive open online courses (MOOCs), there are still countries where penetration is low. The rejection of MOOCs can inhibit individual and societal advancements. The purpose of this study is to explore what is behind the resistance to MOOCs in these regions. Using the…

The traditional educational approaches in art classrooms have increasingly fallen short of addressing the needs of learners in an era marked by rapid technological advancements. Augmented reality (AR), as a leading representative of these emerging technologies, has recently been integrated into traditional educational methods, repeatedly…

This article investigates whether experiences of the PhD trajectory during the first year of enrolment predict dropout during a later stage. More specifically, we studied how supervisor support, time pressure and passion for research relate to dropout among PhD students and assessed the role of discipline in this process. We used longitudinal data…

Many references to coaching, feedback and reflection, collaboration, and monitoring can be found as an essential component of effective teacher continuing professional development (CPD) in various contexts (Desimone 2009, Avalos 2011, Orr etal. 2012, Psychoyos 2012, Kourany 2017, Darling-Hammond et al. 2017, De León 2017); however, the results of…

Transitions between educational levels have been identified as posing potential barriers for students' sense of belonging in science. In this paper, we focus on the transition from lower secondary to upper secondary school while foregrounding physics as a subject. We approach transitions as an ongoing negotiation-process of identities embedded…

Previous research has indicated that parents' awareness of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) directly affects children's interests and attitudes. Based on this discovery, this study sought to dig deeper into the relationship between parents' awareness of STEM and how that plays a role in their children's thinking when…

This study intended to explore the relations between 259 Turkish EFL students' L2 grit (i.e. the persistence of effort and consistency of interest) and boredom coping strategies (i.e. cognitive approach, behavioural approach, cognitive avoidance, and behavioural avoidance) as well as the moderating role of their emotion regulation strategies,…

Previous research has linked student participation in Career and Technical Education (CTE) to a variety of factors, including student and family demographic characteristics. Less attention has been paid to how students' attitudes -- including their perceptions of the value of CTE courses -- impact interest in CTE course-taking. Results of the…

Creative spaces and experimental practices being used by teachers can create intrinsic motivation in students. Previous research has shown that intrinsic motivation in students can be cultivated using student interests while also finding a balance for creating challenges for the students while also not making something so challenging that the…

The objective of the study was to explore STEAM disciplines through robotics within the Future Classroom Lab (FCL) spaces, which challenge the learning of mathematical knowledge in Primary Education. The method used was quantitative and descriptive, based on data obtained from the mean and standard deviation through pre-test and post-test…

Programs to broaden female STEM participation, especially in pre-adolescent girls have had mixed success. We present results from an empirical study aimed at promoting positive science identity and nature connection in middle-school girls through engagement in citizen/participatory science activities at national parks. Our science identity…
