STEM education is gaining more attention due to its significant contribution to educational development. The authors employed bibliometric analysis to determine how STEM education research was developing. The study aims to present an up-to-date overview of the STEM education research landscape in the context of higher education from 2002 to 2022.…

A small-scale qualitative case study of students at a post-1992 university in England sought to understand the nuanced experiences of returning to face-to-face study following the pandemic. Whilst much has been written about the effects of studying online, much less is known about how students adapted once they returned to campus-based delivery.…

While existing research has extensively explored the theoretical dimensions of translanguaging, there is a notable gap in empirical studies on its pedagogical applications. Specifically, the combined impact of translanguaging and collaborative techniques like the jigsaw technique on language competencies remains under-researched. This study aimed…

The introductory programming disciplines, which include the teaching of algorithms and computational logic, have high failure and dropout rates. Developing Computational Thinking in students can contribute to learning programming fundamentals by building algorithmic and problem-solving skills. However, keeping students engaged in training such…

Traditionally, teacher preparation programs have been designed to prepare teacher candidates to teach in face-to-face learning environments. Due to the heightened demand for online learning, amplified by the emergency shift to remote teaching during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and continuous technological advancements, teacher…

This meta-analysis comprehensively examined the effects of English language interventions on struggling elementary school learners in South Korea learning English as a foreign language. A total of 22 studies of experimental and quasi-experimental studies were separately analyzed by the study design using a random-effects model, and the mean effect…

Biochemistry lab classes help students connect theory to real-world applications and develop practical, collaborative, and higher-order thinking skills. However, many students are unprepared, spending class time on protocols and equipment instead of higher-order learning. To improve preparation, digital gamified modules were created to replace…

This article discusses findings from semi-structured interviews with writing consultants about their affective experiences working across three different consulting modalities: in person, asynchronous, and synchronous. This study offers affect as a lens for understanding consultants' responses to and strategies for consulting in multiple…

Four educators from Nepal engaged in a collaborative autoethnographic inquiry to examine how community engagement can transform higher education through interdisciplinary, reflective, and contextually grounded approaches. Drawing on data from a two-month pilot residential program in Panchkhal Municipality, Nepal, we explored how students…

While there has been a growing interest in teachers' empathy within TESOL, the various dimensions of empathy remain less explored compared to other fields such as anthropology, medicine, and psychology. Guided by the theoretical framing of "teacher knowledge" (TK), this paper reports on one key theme from a doctoral study concerning how…

This open access book describes and explains a fifty-year-old woman's process of developing trade competences. Drawing from daily journal entries, photographs, interviews from 10 fabrication shops, and online forums about trades, this autoethnography details the author's learning process at Howe's Welding and Metal Fabrication, where she has…

In this paper, we are interested in the learning outcomes from undergraduate students' digital experiences of conducting multiple pure and applied mathematics investigations supported by programming technology. Our case study encompasses a sequence of three project-based mathematics courses implemented for over 20 years at Brock University. We…

Background: This mixed-method, controlled quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effects of metaverse-based English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction on high school students' listening skills and self-determination levels. The lessons, which were designed based on social constructivist theory, were implemented for a total of 8 weeks…

Background: The integration of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) into second language (L2) education has opened new possibilities for personalized and adaptive instruction. While Gen-AI has shown promise in supporting language production skills, its application in reading, particularly in pre-reading scaffolding, remains underexplored.…

Authenticity is critical to meaningful civic learning, from understanding history and exploring current issues to discovering how government works and engaging with diverse forms of civic participation. This article explores authenticity in student-led civics through three dimensions: (1) being authentically connected to the self (culturally…
