Scholars report that the students’ interest in STEM declines and suggest to approach them earlier. This case study with the convenient sample of seven primary school students investigates the students’ view of science and scientists and examine the following research questions in the Dutch lower secondary school context: (1) What are young students' images and perceptions of scientists and their work? (2) How do young students conceptualize science and scientist? (3) What are young students' attitudes toward science, STEM careers and science involvements? To find an answer to these questions, four different measurements were employed in the study. First, the students joined a photo-elicitation interview (PIE) exploring their values and perceptions, second, a Word Association Test (WAT) searching the cognitive structures, third, responded an attitude questionnaire and lastly, they completed the Draw-a-Scientist Test (DAST) and joined a follow-up semi structured interview individually. The analysis showed that there are stereotypical image of science and scientists among the students in this study. The environmental context and the pandemic period have influence on their perceptions. The students conceptualized science and scientists realistically and showed the higher positive attitude towards science than the STEM career and science involvement in the future. The multiple measurements provided a broader perspective on the students’ view. The discussion extended to the methodological aspects and suggestions were given.

In this bibliometric analysis study, it was aimed to systematically review and analyze the existing CT literature and provide an overall outlook and current status of research on CT using the publication and citation data extracted from the WoS database. For this purpose, 5064 articles and reviews on CT published in journals indexed in the WoS database were included in the bibliometric analysis. It was found that research on CT is an emerging area of inquiry and the interest in CT has grown exponentially in the last two decades. Also, publications are mostly published in higher education journals and the journals related to psychology, sociology, and philosophy as well as education technology journals. The USA absolutely leads the production and dissemination of scientific research on CT with other predominantly English-speaking countries as well as some other countries in Asia. Besides, the authors who work on higher education, psychology, and educational technology come to the fore in productivity and number of citations. Although scientific collaboration exists among the institutions and countries in the field of CT, this scientific collaboration occurs mostly among the institutions or countries which are close to each other either geographically or culturally. Five major clusters emerged in the co-word analysis: higher education, 21st century literacy skills, educational psychology and assessment and evaluation, educational technology, the effect of student-centered teaching/learning strategies on the CT, and work life, civic responsibility and social life of individuals.

This research investigates the level of work autonomy and work burnout perceived by EFL teachers. It also examines the relationship between autonomy and burnout in the context of EFL teaching. The study participants were 158 EFL teachers from four Saudi universities. To measure teachers’ perceived autonomy and work burnout, two questionnaires were administered to the teachers. The results indicate that EFL teachers’ perceived method autonomy is high, while both scheduling and criteria autonomy are medium. In addition, EFL teachers’ emotional exhaustion and depersonalization are found to be low, whereas personal accomplishment is high. A negative relationship between autonomy and burnout is also found according to the results of the study. The perception of having high or moderate levels of autonomy is connected to lower rates of burnout. According to the results, the autonomy of teachers can be seen as a particular personality trait of EFL teachers that helps mitigate burnout. The findings of this research may be beneficial for language teachers as it can increase their understanding of their own autonomy, burnout at work, and how to enhance these areas based on the suggestions provided.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions adopted several technology-driven platforms (such as Google Meet) as an alternative to traditional in-person classrooms. Researchers have been concerned about the evaluation of learning satisfaction and continuous learning intentions. As such, the purpose of this research was to investigate how the implementation of Google Meet affected the learning flow experience of Taiwan students amid the pandemic. The hedonic (perceived enjoyment, perceived vividness, perceived interactivity) and utilitarian (system quality, service quality, information quality) factors were integrated into the perspective of learning flow. Furthermore, this study also examined how flow experiences influence satisfaction and continuous learning intention. The structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data gathered from a sample of 213 students. According to the findings, hedonic and utilitarian factors all significantly influenced flow experiences. As learning flow increased in remote learning, satisfaction and continuous learning intention were also increased. The results can provide significant implications for flow and learning theory, and offer concrete suggestions for teaching practices and education learning platforms.

With an increasing number of English Language Learners (ELLs), the landscape of public schools in the United States has been rapidly changing. However, ELLs’ academic performance is consistently lower than their native English-speaking peers’ and many in-service teachers feel ill-prepared to teach ELLs in a culturally and linguistically responsive way. This is especially true for mainstream teachers who teach STEM-related subjects. This study explores how pre-service elementary school teachers perceive culturally and linguistically responsive mathematics and science teaching practices for ELLs. A qualitative research design with interviews and constant comparative analysis was employed. Pre-service teachers’ lively voices that unpack their beliefs on the characteristics of culturally and linguistically responsive math and science teaching are illustrated around teachers’ scaffolding strategies, ELLs’ learning experiences, and environments. Suggestions for teacher educators, education scholars, and practitioners are provided to advance the discourse of how to better prepare teachers to teach mathematics and science to ELLs.

The theory-practice gap in nursing education confuses students and decreases the quality of their training. This study aims to examine the gap between theoretical teaching and clinical training for students at AAUP. A cross-sectional survey of 192 nursing students at AAUP. Questions measuring aspects of the theory-practice gap were developed based on the literature review. Socio-demographic variables included sex, age, residence, and school year. Simple frequencies and multivariate linear regression were used to analyze the data. The p-value was set at 0.05 for statistical significance. The practical trainer was the most important factor in bridging students’ theory-practice gap. Practical trainers who explain to the students the theoretical protocols of the nursing procedures produced students with better abilities to link theory and practice (B = 1.53, P = 0.000). The university teacher was less important in the theory-practice link. The simulation training was significantly related to students’ abilities to link practice with theory (B = 0.28, P = 0.036). Investing in nursing clinical practice and supporting the clinical instructors is recommended. Communication between the university teachers and the practical instructors can improve their training skills and their abilities to link theory with practice.
护理教育中理论与实践的脱节使学生困惑，降低了培训质量。本研究旨在探讨美国医学科学院学生的理论教学与临床训练之间的差距。对美国大学护理学院192名护理专业学生的横断面调查。在文献综述的基础上，提出了测量理论与实践差距方面的问题。社会人口变量包括性别、年龄、居住地和学年。采用简单频率和多元线性回归对数据进行分析。p值设为0.05，具有统计学意义。实践培训师是弥合学生理论与实践差距的最重要因素。实习培训师向学生讲解护理程序的理论协议，使学生有更好的理论与实践联系的能力(B = 1.53, P = 0.000)。大学教师在理论与实践的联系中不那么重要。模拟训练与学生理论联系实际的能力显著相关(B = 0.28, P = 0.036)。建议投资于护理临床实践并支持临床讲师。高校教师与实践指导员之间的交流可以提高他们的培训技能和理论联系实际的能力。

Research in mentoring has shown that students may at times be more willing and able to absorb information that is delivered to them by their near-peers, rather than by traditional figures of authority, like teachers and professors. In this study, underrepresented minority high school students participated in an informal learning experience that was led by college students who were "near-peers" to the high schoolers. Students were engaged by participating in interactive MathShows, following a Math Social Media Campaign, and attending a summer Math Internship. Participants in the quantitative component of the study included N = 559 U.S. high schoolers who were from predominantly (99%) Hispanic ethnic backgrounds. The qualitative component of the study involved another 19 students from the same school. The mixed methods study addresses associations between high schoolers’ attitudes toward mathematics and their identity alignment, as well as classes of reasons that students gave for their identity alignment. Interactions with the college near-peers that occurred during the experiential learning intervention are also discussed. Results of this study address the goal of broadening participation of underrepresented student groups in STEM careers.

This study aims to determine the current problems related to social studies education from the perspective of social studies teachers. The research was designed with content analysis technique, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group of the research consisted of 50 social studies teachers working in secondary schools in the center of Mardin province. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview form. The data obtained were first subjected to a descriptive analysis in accordance with the content analysis technique. Codes and categories were created. According to the results obtained from the research, it is seen that the school directly affects the student's readiness and intrinsic motivation. In addition, the genetic and mental state of the child, how the parents guide the child, the financial conditions in which the child lives are directly proportional to his/her education, and the environment in which the student grows up are directly effective in the success of the student. When the opinions of the teachers about the social studies textbooks are analyzed, the majority of them stated that the textbooks are not printed in high quality. In addition, teachers who were satisfied with the textbooks stated that the book contains basic information, that the visuals in the book are in a way to guide the students, that the coloring is good, that it is the best book on the market, especially for the sixth grade, that the texts and topics in the book complement each other, that it is suitable for the age level of the students, and most importantly, that it makes a great contribution to the developmental process of the students in a positive sense. The research was concluded with suggestions such as organizing all stakeholders in education, strengthening the infrastructure of schools according to the curriculum and making all schools equal in this sense, providing financial support to schools and opening study classes in schools.

This study presents a systematic review of the literature on STEM education. We investigated the trends of STEM education, as well as its main advantages and challenges in K-12 settings. A total of 118 empirical studies published between 2013 and 2021 in refereed journals were included in the analysis. The findings indicate a steady increase in the number of STEM studies over the past nine years. The dominant discipline on the studies is science, while the most common level of education is upper secondary education. Most STEM interventions take place in formal settings and uses mixed research methods. The most popular educational material is simple tools, and the most measured variable is learner achievement. The most reported advantage is that STEM education helps develop of 21st century skills. On the other hand, the most reported challenge is that STEM activities are difficult to design. Further, the study discusses other advantages and challenges in detail, to map the opportunities and difficulties for students, teachers, and researchers. Finally, the study highlights some research gaps, as well as some suggestions for future research.

We investigated the trends of STEM education, as well as its main advantages and challenges in K-12 settings. A total of 118 empirical studies published between 2013 and 2021 in refereed journals were included in the analysis. The findings indicate a steady increase in the number of STEM studies over the past nine years. The dominant discipline on the studies is science, while the most common level of education is upper secondary education. Most STEM interventions take place in formal settings and uses mixed research methods. The most popular educational material is simple tools, and the most measured variable is learner achievement.
