IntroductionContemporary teacher education increasingly conceptualizes professional readiness as an integrated system rather than a sum of discrete knowledge, skills, and dispositions. In Kazakhstan, however, the formal adoption of competency-based standards has not fully resolved the gap between methodological declarations and practice-oriented bachelor training. This study aims to theoretically…

Driven by Industry 4.0, fermentation engineering is rapidly evolving from traditional empirical experimentation toward data-driven intelligent bio-manufacturing. This transition has created an urgent need for engineers who are fluent in both biological sciences and artificial intelligence (AI), yet many undergraduate programs remain compartmentalized, leaving graduates without the computational l…

BackgroundThe rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education (HE) demands clarity on its impact on teachers' professional functions, bringing opportunities and challenges that reshape traditional pedagogical roles.ObjectiveTo identify anticipated shifts in HE teachers' roles driven by growing AI integration.MethodsUsing PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a scoping review of 13 recent p…

The present study investigates how Content-based Instruction (CBI) fosters multidimensional engagement: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral, among non-English majors at a Chinese tier-2 university. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, it tracked 200 second-year engineering students across five CBI classes via longitudinal questionnaires. Follow-up semi-structured interviews with …

IntroductionIntercultural Bilingual Education (IBE) in Peru aims to provide culturally and linguistically relevant instruction for Indigenous students; however, its implementation continues to face structural, linguistic, and resource-related challenges. This study identified latent patterns in IBE implementation using machine learning techniques and compared the predictive performance of differe…

The employability of graduates is of great importance in educational institutions, the government, and industries, and is a growing interest among scholars and researchers, as graduates are expected to hold a strategic importance in nation-building. This study examined graduates’ employability at ISCED levels 5 and 6 by collecting primary data from 561 graduates using multistage cluster sampling.…

Medical education is challenged by the exponential growth of biomedical knowledge and associated information overload, which places significant cognitive strain on students. This pressure, alongside the ubiquity of lecture capture, has fundamentally altered student engagement: students are no longer passive recipients in live settings but active curators of asynchronous content, relying on lectur…

IntroductionAmidst the continued expansion of higher education in China, this study investigates the correlational trends and urban-rural disparities in the returns to higher education from 2012 to 2021.MethodsUsing data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS) for the years 2012 and 2021, this correlation study employed three analytical approaches: ordinary least squares (OLS) regression for …

BackgroundAgainst the backdrop of the global digital transformation of education, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly reshaping the instructional ecology of primary school Chinese language education, creating an urgent need to cultivate AI literacy among teachers. Existing research predominantly focuses on generic AI literacy frameworks for educators, lacking a specialized model tailored t…

IntroductionThe accelerated development of artificial intelligence and machine learning has transformed postgraduate education by incorporating predictive analytics and data-driven decision-making processes. In this context, digital competencies are a key factor for the effective use of artificial intelligence tools in academic environments. Therefore, this study aims to determine to what extent …

BackgroundGenerative artificial intelligence is reshaping K-12 education, yet teachers' adoption remains unbalanced and under-researched. This study integrates TAM, UTAUT, and Perceived Trust Theory to construct an adoption model for K-12 teachers' GAI adoption intention.MethodsA survey of 443 K-12 teachers from 16 prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province was conducted. PLS-SEM with bootstrap…

IntroductionUniversities play a central role in preparing students with the essential skills they need to thrive in their future careers and broader life experiences. As society and the labour market continues to evolve, the expectations placed on graduates also change. Consequently, higher education institutions must ensure students develop broad and diverse capabilities required for long-term e…

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are pivotal in transforming pedagogical practices and enhancing teaching-learning processes in higher education. However, effective integration requires a systemic alignment to foster academic quality. This article analyzes the factors influencing ICT incorporation into university teaching and identifies their impact on student learning outcomes. …

IntroductionThis study investigates the implementation of the School Teaching Assistant/Internship Program (TAP) for Business Education students under the Indonesian Ministry of Education's current policy. It aims to evaluate program effectiveness, identify student critiques and suggestions, and analyze how established theoretical frameworks inform professional teaching practices.MethodologyA par…

IntroductionThe present study aimed to investigate the impact of animation-supported instruction on the development of students' mathematical connection skills. To this end, a conceptual framework was established comprising two main dimensions—internal and external connections—and four sub-dimensions: connections among concepts, among representations, with life contexts, and across disciplines.Me…

IntroductionThis study examines how teachers perceive the role of digital technologies in learning about interpersonal and intergroup empathy within an online Teachers' Professional Development (TPD) program. Despite increasing attention to social-emotional learning (SEL), limited research has explored how online professional development environments may support teachers' learning about empathy-r…

Generative artificial 1ntelligence has quickly become a governance problem 1n higher education, yet much of the debate remains centered on cheating, plagiarism, detection, and academic 1ntegrity. This study shifts the focus from whether GenAI should be allowed to how course-level GenAI governance defines legitimate 1ntellectual labor and shapes graduate students’ emerging scholarly 1dentities. Dr…

IntroductionThis study evaluates a digital innovation initiative within the Iraqi correctional system, designed as a scalable framework for international correctional pedagogy. It assesses the effectiveness of e-learning for university inmate students at Al-Karkh Central Prison, aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) regarding equitable education.MethodsThe research ex…

IntroductionProblem-based learning (PBL) is an educational method in which the starting point is a problem being the most common format a written text; alternative formats such as audiovisuals remain underexplored.
