This Perspective argues that teaching technology to agricultural science students in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who face persistent constraints in access to devices, electricity, connectivity, prior digital preparation, and mentorship should be organized around building durable capabilities for agricultural problem-solving rather than short-lived training in specific tools. We argue…

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…

As communication increasingly becomes a cross-disciplinary focus; there is a need for additional research on the comprehensive mapping of the research, teaching approaches and gaps within the field of communication education. This scoping review maps the scholarship in the field of communication education for the period 1985–2024, corresponding to when the field was institutionalized and the late…

IntroductionThe professional identity of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers is increasingly shaped by evolving educational reforms, institutional expectations, and professional development opportunities. Despite growing scholarly interest, the interrelationship between teacher attitudes, professional growth, and institutional support remains conceptually fragmented.MethodsThis systemati…

To understand the experience of secondary science co-teachers implementing new science standards, the roles they assume in the classroom, and the degree of parity they exhibit in their work, we examined one pair of co-teachers in a case study via questionnaires, video and audio recorded lessons, and teacher interviews. Specifically, this research addresses the following questions: (1) What roles …

IntroductionDigital transformation is reshaping academic work, governance, and professional identities in higher education in profound and often contradictory ways. This paper examines how these processes unfold across different phases of digitalization, with particular attention to the tension between emergency-driven change and its longer-term institutionalization.MethodsThe study draws on find…

This study is aimed at identifying the scientific and pedagogical foundations of the integration of augmented reality, AR technologies into the system of dual vocational education and assessing their impact on the production practical and professional competencies of students. The results of a systematic analysis showed that AR technologies are an effective tool for combining theory and practice,…

Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) has increasingly been adopted as a quality determinant of education that affects learning and health outcomes. This study reviews literature on the conceptual synthesis, theory integration, Indicator clarification of the impact of WASH on quality education. A narrative review method was adopted for this study. Desk-based review of literature was used…

Higher education institutions are facing a growing challenge: to train professionals who are not only technically competent, but also aware of their responsibility towards environmental sustainability. Despite the urgency of the global climate crisis and the commitments set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda, sustainability education in universities remains fragmented and rarely integrated as …

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in physics education has shown remarkable potential, particularly in learning analytics and personalized feedback for interpreting graphical problems in kinematics and dynamics. Although models such as ChatGPT-4 show promising capabilities in problem-solving, they still face significant challenges in accurately interpreting complex graphical represe…

IntroductionDigital platforms are increasingly used in higher education to deliver content, assess learning, and measure complex cognitive processes such as executive functions. Although the DeLone and McLean information systems success framework has been widely applied to e-learning platforms, empirical evidence on user-centered evaluation of digital cognitive assessment tools in higher educatio…

This qualitative study seeks to examine how value-based supervision can be integrated into educational leadership at the institutional level in Oman by exploring value-based supervisory practices, associated challenges, and leadership innovations within Omani educational settings. The research employed an interpretive qualitative approach using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) m…

IntroductionCourse evaluation data provide important information for understanding teaching and learning quality. This study aimed to develop an interpretable machine-learning framework for predicting course-evaluation outcomes and identifying influential evaluation indicators.MethodsTwo semesters of institutional educational evaluation data were used to construct two related prediction tasks: se…

IntroductionDigital competence is a critical component of 21st-century skills and a key enabler of effective teaching and learning. Despite the widespread use of the DigComp framework for evaluating digital competence, empirical validation of instruments aligned with the updated DigComp 2.2 remains limited, particularly in African teacher education contexts. This study aimed to adapt and validate…

Repeated teaching assignments are common in higher education, yet their psychological implications for university teachers remain underexplored. Guided by self-determination theory, this sequential mixed-methods study examined how repeated teaching was associated with teachers' experiences of autonomy, competence, relatedness, and mental health-related challenges in the Chinese university context…
