A quantitative study was conducted to investigate the influence of a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) chemistry laboratory on students' understanding of the nature of science (NOS) at a Northwest liberal arts college. The CUREs activities were interspersed with NOS activities throughout the semester. The Views of nature of…

Given the rapid proliferation of mobile technologies and their potential to reshape science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, there is a pressing need to systematically examine how research in this domain has evolved over time. This study maps the intellectual structure and emerging trends of mobile learning (m-learning)…

The objective of this study is to analyze the present-day state of attitudes towards learning mathematics and to identify new lines of research being developed. For this purpose, first articles were elected in the Scopus database for the years 1970-2024 using the search criteria "mathematics" and "attitudes." 4160 articles were…

This review examined research trends in practical works on sustainability in peer-reviewed, empirical studies indexed in the Web of Science database from the first mention through the first half of 2025. This qualitative study used a content analysis approach to identify trends in the practical work in sustainability by using the PRISMA (Preferred…

This literature review explores the integration of Computational Thinking (CT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in high school mathematics education. CT -- which involves decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design -- provides a structured framework for solving complex problems. ChatGPT and Gemini function as…

This study examines how sustained conceptual instruction influences gender disparities in physics understanding among Swedish upper secondary students. Drawing on Ausubel's Meaningful Learning Theory and Vergnaud's Conceptual Field Theory, the research explores how instructional design interacts with students' cognitive development, prior…

Science giftedness exists at the intersection of intellectual academic ability in science and psychosocial characteristics of gifted individuals (Feist, 2013). However, the specific characteristics of science giftedness have not been fully investigated for identification purposes. This study seeks to fill this research gap by developing a…

This study investigates the interaction of a science teacher's pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components during the instruction of seventh-grade physics topics--work/energy and simple machines. It aims to explore how these components interconnect and influence instructional practices, particularly in the context of teaching gifted students.…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping academic writing in higher education faster than institutions can develop evidence-informed guidance, leaving practice ahead of proof. To clarify what is happening and where benefits and risks cluster, the researchers conducted a scoping review structured by a Population-Concept-Context (PCC)…

The present study explores the possibility of using ChatGPT as a tutor, to support the teacher's work in creating solid didactic and adidactic situations in the mathematics classroom, employing qualitative analysis methodologies. The study was based on a didactic experiment carried out in a 10th-grade class in Portugal, involving 26 students who…

This experimental study examined the impact of pre-service teachers' development of performance tasks utilizing differentiated generative artificial intelligence tools--textual, visual, and video-based--on their attitudes towards generative artificial intelligence (AI) and their acceptance levels of AI. A quasi-experimental approach was utilized…

This paper investigates how novice secondary-school mathematics teachers develop problem-posing skills through the design of game-based mathematical tasks. Conducted within a graduate-level teacher education course, the study engaged 14 early-career teachers working in pairs to explore mathematical games, analyze their underlying structures, and…

There is need for increased focus on geometric transformations and symmetry in primary and secondary education, as well as increased research to support learning and teaching of geometric transformations. To identify directions for future research and teaching, we set out to map the research that has already been conducted and to identify key…

Student success in introductory mathematics courses has been a topic of national concern due to the high failure rates associated with these courses and the impact on STEM degree retention and completion. At Florida International University (FIU), College Algebra underwent an extensive reform in 2012 leading to the implementation of the Mastery…

This study aimed to investigate early childhood teacher candidates' perceptions of teaching Science and Technology in Society (STS) through a project-based interdisciplinary model. The model comprised activities like STS field trips, roleplay contests, documentary movie projects, classroom tasks, and group discussions, to foster an understanding…
