Peace education has long been integrated into the higher education curriculum to equip students from diverse cultural backgrounds, languages, religions, regions, and lifestyles with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to foster a culture of harmony and prevent future conflicts. This systematic research examines the peace education concept…

The enrollment of English language learners (ELLs) in American public schools continues to increase each year. The substantial growth in this population of learners makes it imperative for future educators to understand how to effectively support ELLs' acquisition of academic content and English language proficiency. In past studies, preservice…

Purpose: The ever-changing educational landscape, exacerbated by recent events surrounding COVID, political and cultural unrest, necessitates educators who are antifragile, able to withstand pressures and thrive amidst uncertainty. To this end, the pilot study reported here aims to examine mathematics educators' initial reflections on what it…

It may appear commonsensical that undergraduate dance majors, sharing a programmatic experience within a bounded space and time, might feel connected to others involved in that experience. However, the multi-faceted and dynamic considerations of who and what comprise this learning environment are often not holistically explored. To better identify…

Teaching styles that satisfy students' needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness have been found to influence various types of learning outcomes in school and college contexts. However, little is known about how these teaching styles are associated with pre-service teachers' learning motivation and academic engagement. This study examined…

Deficiencies in students' interaction and motivation to learn are among the most reported challenges in medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need to find new methods to overcome these challenges. We implemented a virtual learning station (VLS) approach in pathology lectures about locomotor diseases carried out over 2 weeks.…

The Dutch perpetrated in both the Holocaust and chattel slavery. However, Dutch cultural memory does not significantly recognize Dutch perpetration in these sensitive histories. This article explores the interplay between cultural memory and history education as a potential explanation for this oversight, by specifically focusing on the…

Human geographers engage students in learning about a world characterized by environmental and social disarray. It follows that our students are exposed to deeply confronting topics: climate change, global inequality, food insecurity, and racism, to name a few. Prompted by scholarly debate on the effects of painful emotions elicited by public…

At the end of a seven-week period, researchers distributed an online survey inclusive of qualitative questions to two groups of female collegiate students enrolled in separate beginner-level ballet courses taught by the same…

By providing explicit instruction, teacher educators can play an essential role in helping teacher candidates develop as reflective antiracist educators. Using critical ethnography and case study, we examined the role of explicit instruction in helping teacher candidates develop skills in critical reflection. Findings revealed that explicit…

The development of statistical literacy has become a key outcome of mathematics curricula in various countries. The purpose of the study was to explore primary pre-service teachers' (PSTs') knowledge of aspects of measures of central tendency, which is a central concept in statistical literacy. The 183 PSTs' written responses to four tasks were…

PS-I learning approaches with an initial problem-solving phase (PS) followed by an instruction phase (I) can be optimised by providing adaptive (individualised) instruction that builds on students' problem-solving products. A computer-based implementation of both phases offers the possibility of adaptivity at the transition from the…

This study was aimed to reveal what types of questions were asked by pre- service teachers and what kind of interactions they established with the 5th-8th grade students. The extent to which the questions the pre-service teachers asked are related to the interactions they established with the students was also investigated. Case study, one of the…

The present study was conducted to investigate and confirm the efficacy of educational technologies that could facilitate reading and writing development (affordances). It also investigates and reports on problems with these educational technologies that could limit reading and writing development (challenges) in a technology-assisted language…

This study aimed to investigate the effect of teaching vocabulary through asynchronous social media on EFL learners' vocabulary learning and retention. To fulfill the objective of this study, the researcher selected 57 EFL learners through convenience sampling method. The participants were assigned randomly into two groups of the experimental…
