Nature Physics, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03289-1 As physics departments continue to grapple with how growing interdisciplinarity fits the disciplinary departmental model, we argue for the mutual benefits that incorporating physics education researchers within physics departments can bring.

IntroductionMathematics self-efficacy and mathematics self-concept are well-established predictors of student engagement and performance. However, their relative contributions, alongside mathematics anxiety, are rarely examined within a single model. This study investigates how generalized mathematics self-efficacy, mathematics self-concept, and mathematics anxiety are associated with multiple di…

IntroductionThe formal incorporation of artificial intelligence courses into basic education has raised a key issue for the effective implementation of the curriculum: whether teachers can withstand the continuously rising teaching pressure in the early phase of reform and prevent such pressure from further developing into teaching anxiety. Limited attention has been paid to the persistent influe…

IntroductionThe development of artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities for AI-supported foreign language teaching and applications. This study investigates the interrelationships among foreign language enjoyment (FLE), writing self-efficacy, self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies, and learner engagement within the context of AI-assisted English as a foreign language (EFL) wri…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly entering professional practice, raising questions about how professionals interpret algorithmic authority, protect judgment autonomy, and negotiate human–AI boundaries. This systematic review uses music teachers as an instrumental case to examine AI-related psychological responses, cognitive appraisals, and professional decisions in a judgment-intensiv…

The teacher-child interaction in a preschool educational institution largely determines the child’s success in further school adaptation and education. This research focused on examining the contribution of such factors as a teacher's years of experience and the children's number in a group to the children's interaction quality with teachers. The sample included teachers from 97 groups, in which …

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth belong to culturally rich and resilient communities, yet they continue to experience significant health and wellbeing disparities. Despite these challenges, there is a critical gap in culturally appropriate tools to assess and support the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth in school settings. The Wellbeing Ways project addresses th…

This study investigates the role of generative artificial intelligence AI as an ethical and pedagogical mediator in the initial training of primary education teachers, particularly in strengthening the family-school relationship. A quasi-experimental intervention was conducted with a single group of 103 students from two Spanish universities, structured into four phases: theoretical instruction, …

IntroductionThis study examined how students with varying levels of English achievement apply self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies. It investigated the use of eight SRL strategy categories for language achievement and explored the relationships among language achievement, intrinsic motivation, and SRL strategies.MethodsThe participants (n = 317) were students from two Vietnamese universities …

IntroductionThe technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive virtual reality (VR) are increasingly entering mathematics classrooms, yet their pedagogical role remains largely confined to enhancing visualization and feedback. This study addresses this limitation by reconceptualizing technology integration through an ecological–embodied perspective, examining how different techno…

Cases reported in 83 countries, with at least 10,600 students and staff killed, injured, abducted or arrested, GCPEA says Attacks on education globally have surged by 40% with more than 8,556 recorded incidents and 10,600 students and staff killed, injured, abducted, arrested or otherwise harmed in 2024 and 2025, according to new research. Attacks were reported in 83 countries, with the highest i…

Every educator, whether in a physical classroom or online environment, has faced the uncomfortable reality of encountering difficult students. The term “difficult” can feel heavy, but in truth, most students don’t set out to cause disruption. Instead, challenges often emerge when students bring mismatched communication habits or expectations into the learning space. By reframing how we view these…

The Google.org commitment will fund training experts supporting 14 labor unions and four trade associations across more than 20 states. Google.org is committing $50 million to expand skilled trades training support for more than 300,000 American workers across more than 20 states Google is expanding its skilled trades training support through a $50 million Google.org commitment aimed at preparing…

The call covers global standards, STEM policy, workforce development, inclusion, learning ecosystems, and digital and AI transformation. The UNESCO International Institute for STEM Education is seeking experts to support work across STEM education, policy, inclusion, workforce development, and digital and AI transformation. The UNESCO International Institute for STEM Education is calling for inte…

Starting a developer bootcamp is both exciting and a bit overwhelming. On my first day, I didn’t expect to understand everything—but I was ready to learn how real developers think and work. Even though I couldn’t fully follow all the sessions later in the week, my first day still gave me a strong introduction to the journey I’m stepping into. What stood out for me The biggest realization was that…

When direct instruction runs past a seventh grader's minutes-long attention span, more explanation rarely produces more learning. Gail Boushey and Allison Behne offer five research-based strategies to hold the attention of middle schoolers, even with a scripted curriculum. The post Your 7th Grader Can Focus for 12 Minutes first appeared on MiddleWeb .

Word scrambling is a deceptively simple mechanic. Rearrange the letters of a word, ask someone to restore the original — that's the entire game loop. But underneath that simplicity is a cognitive process that language researchers find genuinely interesting, and that developers building educational tools keep returning to. The Cognitive Mechanics of Unscrambling When a learner attempts to unscramb…

Svetlana (Lana) Jitomirskaya is a mathematics professor at Berkeley (Wikipedia, which puts her at two other schools, is out of date), and is one of 29 authors (I’m in there, too) on a paper in the Journal of Controversial Ideas, “In Defense of Merit in Science“. Lana is also a winner of the American Academy … Continue reading Berkeley math professor argues that we need to bring back SATs and othe…

Hey Dev.to community! 👋 I'm Yashwardhan Sharma, a 17-year-old tech builder from Jamshedpur, India, and the founder of Idea To Action Technologies . I wanted my first post here to address a massive elephant in the room regarding how tech is being taught to the next generation of creators. Right now, tech education is broken. Students are being forced to memorize archaic syntax and definitions of s…

Published on June 14, 2026 2:15 PM GMT Assume this is talking about majoring in Computer Science. Do you think getting high GPA (in CS major) is highly, moderately or only slightly aligned with improving AI risks research(both conceptual and emprirical) abilities? Some said they think a lot of college courses are not so useful[1], and getting good grades on tests requires practcing irrelevant ski…
