This paper discusses the challenges of defining coherence in the context of oral language assessment literacy and proposes that better understanding of the construct can be achieved through a systemic-functional linguistic lens. Coherence is taken to be a foundational quality of written and spoken discourse and is a standard feature in the…

This book aims to fully demonstrate the burnout of learners in online learning processes. The authors propose a series of feasible and reliable solutions to sufficiently obtain and analyze massive instances of online learning behavior. In order to flexibly perceive and intervene in the "burnout state" and improve online learning…

A wealth of professional development programming exists for agricultural educators, but which experiences provide knowledge, skills, and tools most sought by early career agricultural educators? The purpose of this study was to isolate specific desired professional development outcomes for early career agricultural educators, as well as…

Gaining access to early childhood education can be challenging for some families, but summer programs may provide more opportunities for children of all backgrounds. In the USA, some of these expanded opportunities have come by way of an increased number of nature-based preschool programs. This study investigated a short-term, nature-based summer…

Undergraduate science students face difficulties using mathematics in their physics courses. Choosing an institutional perspective, we consider that these students experience a permanent transition between mathematics in their mathematics courses and mathematics in their physics courses. We refer to the anthropological theory of the didactic and…

Opportunities and challenges in the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education require thorough exploration, particularly in the context of Open and Distance Learning (ODL). This study examines faculty members' perceptions of AI's role, opportunities, and the challenges faced in its implementation to develop policy recommendations.…

Background/purpose: This study aims to analyze students' ability to solve differential calculus problems in relation to their prior mathematical knowledge (PMK). Materials/methods: A qualitative research design method was employed. Participants in this study were 103 third-semester students at the university enrolled in the Differential Calculus…

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) can support more personalised learning in K-12 education, reshaping the educational experience for all students. However, little is known about how AI is being designed and implemented to support accessible and equitable learning experiences for all students, including those with disabilities and academic…

We studied learning environments using the instrument "Educational learning environments for students in Compulsory Secondary Education" (García-Rodríguez et al. 2023). A sample of 4683 students from 23 secondary schools in Andalusia (Spain). We analysed secondary school pupils' perceptions of learning environments and motivation, based…

The frequency of home spatial activities (e.g., puzzles and blocks) correlates with young children's spatial skills, but causal evidence is limited. We addressed this issue by comparing the effects of a parent-led intervention aimed at increasing spatial activities to an active control targeting narrative activities (preregistered:…

The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of UNESCO places a focus on quality education for all learners. However, meeting the requirements for quality education seems far-fetched for some developing countries, such as South Africa. The reason being that mathematics performance in South Africa is still an area of concern. The assumption is that this…

Higher education study has become more accessible to rural places through the development of stronger technologies, interfaces and pedagogy for online study. However, while these have made higher education more accessible, they also overlook the substantial impact that social circumstances and resources have on the means to meaningfully…

This systematic review is a consolidation and organization of literature pertaining to the cognitive load theory and its applicability in a classroom setting. Theories such as the flipped classroom, the spacing effect, and learning by teaching have been staples in the classroom for decades, but the literature connecting these theories to cognitive…

There is growing recognition that when students' values (i.e. the things they consider important) are acknowledged, relationships are strengthened, academic engagement and achievement improve, and student wellbeing is enhanced. However, surprisingly, limited studies have examined the values espoused by students in science education. This review…

Transdisciplinary research is increasingly important for solving complex societal problems. Institutions aim to train graduate students to engage in transdisciplinary research. However, limited evidence exists regarding the process by which students learn transdisciplinary thinking. This qualitative study explored graduate students' pathways of…
