Traditionally, discussions about experimental reproducibility have focused on statistics, sample sizes and publication bias. However, procedural quality and training also play an important role in reducing variability.  JoVE, a video platform for scientific content, is aiming to improve the reproducibility of research by providing detailed visual demonstrations of experimental procedures. This is…

_Discover Education_ 1. 2026The objective of this study is, first, to analyze the main trends in scientific publications on the meaning of life and, second, to identify the impact of this focus on educational research. Conceptually, it is understood that the subject has historically been addressed primarily by fields of knowledge such as philosophy, theology, and psychology. Therefore, this bibli…

In the context of pursuing quality education empirical evidence for Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in foundational mathematics is limited, particularly regarding the psychological mechanisms through which it affects learning. This gap is acute within China's New Liberal Arts initiative, a national higher-education reform integrating quantitative reasoning with humanistic and interdisciplinary comp…

A Mississippi State University faculty member and undergraduate researcher are using eye-tracking technology at MSU-Meridian to study how students see, process and respond in high-pressure training scenarios, helping reshape how future healthcare professionals are educated.

To better understand how young children experiencing trauma are supported in early learning settings, Adelaide University researchers examined the role of teacher self-efficacy – the confidence teachers have in their knowledge and abilities – in creating safe, responsive learning environments.

Children are struggling to master skills related to memory, attention, and self-control.

Banning cell phones in schools has been touted as a silver bullet for poor test scores and low student well-being and attendance, but new research suggests the results are more mixed

The convergence of educational technologies, ergonomics, and active learning frameworks offers a multidimensional approach to improving educational outcomes. This study examines the role of Learning Analytics (LA) in optimizing ergonomic educational spaces to support active learning within the higher education context of Kazakhstan, however the outcomes may equally be applied to neighboring count…

BackgroundStudents with disabilities in South African higher education continue to encounter persistent institutional, structural and attitudinal barriers, despite a progressive policy landscape. These challenges are particularly visible within Comprehensive, Open, Distance and e-Learning (CODeL) institutions, where accessibility and retention intersect with the demands of remote learning environ…

Over the past several decades, the higher education community has become increasingly interested in assessing noncognitive factors. Most tools still rely on self-report (e.g., Likert-type) items to measure these skills and behaviors, yet there are many concerns that arise from anecdotal or hypothetical behaviors—patterns of student responding to surveys that may threaten the validity of the resul…

Technology-based learning is increasingly integrated into school environments, yet its role in students' moral and psychosocial development remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between technology-based learning and students' religious character in Islamic boarding schools, while examining the moderating roles of wellbeing, critical thinking skills, and social skills. A …

This study presents the development of a structured and contextually grounded industry internship model—PRIGEL—designed to align with Indonesia's Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy. The PRIGEL model comprises three key stages: pre-internship training, workplace integration with dual supervision, and post-internship evaluation. It supports two academic credit schemes (12 credits for 3 mo…

Mathematics in the Modern World (MMW) is a core general education course that develops quantitative reasoning and applied problem solving, yet many first-year students struggle with its concepts and applications. Such challenges call for support designs that extend beyond remediation and function in blended learning environments. This study profiled students perceived challenges in MMW and examin…

Some students hesitate before they put their thoughts into words. Not because they have nothing to say, but because they’re afraid what they think won’t be “right.”  In my introductory music course, students write about unfamiliar pieces on day one, and for many, that unfamiliarity creates a kind of self-silencing. They listen, form impressions, even have language for what […] The post Bridging t…

Readers respond to an article by Emma Beddington on how PE lessons can shape lifelong beliefs around physical activity Emma Beddington is spot-on ( There are two kinds of people: those who enjoyed school PE lessons – and the rest of us, 27 April ). PE at school in the 1980s was a mix of sadism and masochism, with the majority forced to endure the cold, rain and physical discomfort. Occasionally, …

Teaching math through inquiry can be excellent. It's a goal to aspire to. But for many struggling students, jumping straight into pure inquiry without any explicit instruction first can be paralyzing. Juliana Tapper's Math Wars model helps teachers find the happy (gray) medium. The post Be a Shade of Gray in the Either/Or Math War first appeared on MiddleWeb .

_Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary_ 25 (9):1103-1110. 2024This study investigates the effects of integrating native languages into English reading instruction for 100 primary learners in grades 3, 4, and 5. Quantitative analysis using ANOVA revealed significant improvements in reading comprehension and fluency, while vocabulary gains were statistically insignificant. Regression analys…
