Purpose: This study explores how lesson study (LS) can promote elementary Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teachers' professional development (TPD) in terms of new pedagogical practices, attitudes and beliefs in the maker education (ME) context. Design/methodology/approach: This is a case study of a LS conducted in China…

In the literature, research education is insufficiently addressed. Existing studies often document pre-/post-educational interventions.

This study describes the research experience of a faculty member in academic medicine and examines the values and…

Engaging master's counseling students in the research literature and facilitating an environment that strengthens their research identity development are necessities for counselor educators. This need is juxtaposed with over 20 years of research, which found that counseling students appeared to lack confidence and have low interest in this topic…

The accurate assessment of research self-efficacy may help identify a given self-identified strengths and weaknesses with respect to research, thereby facilitating research training and guidance. This study focused on the Master Teachers' (MTs) skills and attitudes towards research as basis for research capability building program for MTs in the…

The world's cultural heritage (customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions, and values that signify a legacy of the history of humanity) provides identity to communities.
