The distressing events of 2020 challenged the United States to reimagine how our social institutions can and should respond to demands for racial justice. These demands impacted higher education and debates arose about whether the classroom is an appropriate place for teaching abolition. I address this debate by introducing a senior-level elective…

Introduction: This paper merges two neglected components within the psychological sciences broadly and research methods courses specifically: Critical whiteness and qualitative methodologies. Statement of the Problem: In psychology programs, regardless of discipline, research courses remain one area where issues of race and racism, such as…

Integrating computational thinking (CT) into various disciplines via computer science (CS) methods such as unplugged, block-based, text-based, and physical programming is a trending topic in educational sciences. This study presents a perspective on implementing an unplugged computer science activity to integrate CT into mathematics education.…

The authentic teaching and learning approach introduces real-world scenarios into the classroom to better engage Generation Z students. Considering this, we introduced an authentic learning practical exercise (breakfast meal and glycemic variation) to undergraduate biology students at the University of La Reunion (France). Here, students were…

Self-directed learning is a critical competence for living and working in our increasingly complex and unpredictable world. The concept of self-directed learning grew out of the adult learning field and scholars highlight the need to examine how self-directed learning competence can be fostered during childhood. However, there are very few…

Students face various barriers in learning English via distance education. The purpose of this explanatory mixed methods study was to collect quantitative and qualitative data regarding students' emotional intelligence (EI) and the situational barriers (SB) they faced in learning English via distance education. In phase one, 238 students…

Twenty-first century problems have forced international policymakers to consider how education might be reimagined so that citizens have the knowledge and skills to respond to the known and unknown challenges ahead and take an active role in the creation of future societies. While it has been suggested that problem-oriented curricular and…

The notion that digital games can be effectively employed as tools for learning and teaching has steadily been gaining traction among educational theorists and researchers, with numerous empirical studies pointing to the potential benefits of games for skill and knowledge development. However, a solid understanding of learners' attitudes and…

In the first year of life, infants' speech perception becomes attuned to the sounds of their native language. This process of early phonetic learning has traditionally been framed as phonetic category acquisition. However, recent studies have hypothesized that the attunement may instead reflect a perceptual space learning process that does not…

Self-construal refers to the process by which individuals define the self in relation to others. It underpins cognition, motivation, and social behavior. While the importance of the self is well acknowledged in the field of second language (L2) learning motivation, how self-construal is associated with L2 learning motivation in project-based…

Homework completion is associated with learning achievement, but students' challenges revolve around meeting deadlines and preventing procrastination. Promoting students' self-regulated learning (SRL) can overcome these challenges. We explored the role of SRL (forethought and learning strategies) on the timeliness of homework submissions performed…

In this single case study, we explore how four preservice math teachers developed their self-efficacy through a peer tutoring experience in a college math lab. Using pre- post self-efficacy assessments, faculty observations, researcher observations, faculty interviews, and interviews with the preservice teachers themselves, our analysis describes…

This study aims to explore how to use an AI chatbot pedagogically in scientific inquiry by developing a guided-inquiry activity using an AI chatbot and applying it. The developed guided-inquiry activity consisted of designing and doing inquiry activities using the transmission of sound as the topic. In this activity, a chatbot, which was given the…

Many universities have wellness programs to promote overall health and well-being. Using students' own personal data as part of improving their own wellness would seem to be a natural fit given that most university students are already data and information literate. In this work, we aim to show how the interplay between health literacy and data…

This systematic review presents a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature examining training approaches and resources intended for workforce development in increasingly digital workplaces, a trend that has been expedited by the COVID-19 pandemic. The review adheres to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and…
