The aim of the current research is to develop a STEM-based digital classroom learning model based on the 21st-century skills and characteristics of elementary school students. To enable the dissemination of this learning model, further research is needed to determine the effect of the STEM-based digital classroom learning model on the 21st century skills of elementary school students. The lack of 21st-century skills among elementary school students and the necessity for a study of the influence of higher-order thinking skills as one of the capabilities that primary school students must develop are contributing factors to this research. This advancement would lead to an understanding of how STEM and HOTS affect student's skills. This was experimental research with 100 fourth-grade students. The data analysis methods employed by SPSS included two-way ANOVA tests, homogeneity tests, normality tests and descriptive tests. The study's findings revealed that: (1) students who are taught with STEM-based digital and conventional learning models have different 21st-century skills, (2) students with high and low higher- order thinking skills have different 21st-century skills, and (3) students with high and low higher- order thinking skills who are taught with STEM-based digital and conventional learning models have a connection to 21st-century skills. Education professionals can use the implications of this research as a guide to develop 21st-century skills for elementary school students.

The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of a self-concept-based Upanisad learning model integrated in mixed learning on the building of character and creative thinking skills. This study adopted a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control design. The population of the study consisted of 90 students. A random sampling technique was used to take the samples which consist of 60 students. Tests and questionnaires were used as data collection methods. The test instruments used were a description test with 10 items and a questionnaire with a total of 30 items. The analysis technique employs MANOVA in SPSS. The results showed that learning with the self-concept based Upanisad learning model simultaneously or partially impacts character and creative thinking skills. The results show that students who are taught using the self-concept based Upanisad learning model gain mean scores in character and creative thinking skills. Moreover, other results show that learning with the self-concept based Upanisad learning model is more influential on students' character than their ability to think creatively. Based on these conclusions, the researcher recommended that a self-concept-based Upanishad learning model be able to be used as an innovative learning model for improving character and creative thinking skills.

The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the contribution of Self-Assessment with Goal Setting (SAGS), which was implemented with the &quot;self-directed learning&quot; (SDL) method, to the improvement of academic performance in the context of language teaching to sixth-grade students in primary school. The research methodology followed is an experimental design with two groups, one experimental and one control. The research was implemented in public primary schools in Rhodes and lasted for six weeks (from the beginning of March 2022 to the middle of April 2022). The research sample is a convenience sample consisting of 163 students (the control group made up of 78 students and the experimental group consisting of 85 students). According to the findings of the study, the students in the experimental group improved their performance, and this improvement was statistically significant. Specifically, it was observed that after the implementation of SAGS, the mean score for academic achievement of the students in the experimental group was higher than the mean score of academic achievement during the pretest period. Furthermore, the vast majority of students in the experimental group improved their academic achievements, while a very small number of students experienced a decrease in performance and an even smaller number of students did not experience any change in their performance after the intervention. Finally, the students in the experimental group also performed better posttest and improved their performance, in contrast to the students in the control group for whom both lower performance and a deterioration in their performance were observed compared to the experimental group.

Promoting citizens' film literacy has become vital in enhancing public media literacy in today's ever-changing media environment. The public dissemination of film education has gradually become an established trend in China. At present, film education in mainland China focuses on the development of both film appreciation and creativity, involves a wide range of individuals and diverse educational methods, and spreads primarily across three areas: (1) university education; (2) primary and secondary education; and (3) public education. Despite this, teaching activities remain widely dispersed, regional development lacks balance, and there is a shortage of film and television production courses. This article argues that school-based film education in China should focus upon improving the curriculum system, improving the quality of teachers, and developing courses focused on creativity, while more socially focused film education outside of schools should focus upon establishing industry norms and encouraging healthy competition between institutions.

This article reports a local study of the presence of history as a subject in the kindergartens of Kristiansand, a municipality in southern Norway. There is no syllabus for history in the national curriculum; nevertheless, the research sought to find historical content in the kindergartens. The research method was informed by a precept of history didactics, namely that history is everywhere. Using this observation, tentative categories for content likely to feature history were formulated, and then searched for in the individual yearly plans of the kindergartens. This was supplemented by interviews. It is concluded that, in accordance with the national curriculum, history in the kindergartens is a local affair. It emerges especially through local history, visits to museums, and projects with historical features. This research was not designed to determine whether learning outcomes in history are achieved, nor to consider kindergartens outside Kristiansand. However, it references a corpus of literature on history in Norwegian kindergartens, and interacts with it. The conclusion about the presence of the subject is the same as was found for another city, Trondheim, in research by others. For international readers, the article also argues that in principle it is possible for young children to learn history orally and informally.

Higher education has been (re)shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic in ways which have left both indelible and invisible marks of that period. Drawing on relevant literature, and informed by an exchange catalysed through a visual narrative method, authors from four European universities engage with two reflective questions in this article: As academics, what were our experiences of our practice during the lockdown periods of the COVID-19 pandemic? What might we carry forward, resist or reimagine in landscapes of academic practice emerging in the post-COVID future? The article explores how academics experienced and demonstrated resilience and ingenuity in their academic practice during that turbulent time. Particular insights include entanglements of the personal and professional, and the importance, affordances and limitations of technology. In addition, the authors reflect on some of the ongoing challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, such as education inequalities. The article concludes by reprising the key points about what marks are left behind in the post-COVID present, and how these relate to the future in which relational pedagogy and reflexivity are entangled in the ways in which we cohabit virtual and physical academic spaces.

Teacher turnover is a long-standing and worsening problem for schools in England. Strategies to reduce turnover have been extensively researched; however, in England, fewer studies have engaged with how turnover affects students and staff, or how this impact can be mitigated. This article synthesises research suggesting that the negative impact of high turnover is linked to its corrosive impact on trust, student-centric and institutional knowledge, and collaboration and collegiality. It proposes that schools need to intentionally nurture relationships, establish routines and culture at an institutional level and create opportunities for informal professional development. It also argues that decisions about teacher allocation or assignment can drive within-school churn, undermining continuity of care. Teacher allocation decisions have a particularly negative impact on socio-economically disadvantaged and minority ethnic students, but 'looping' may reduce within-school churn and enhance continuity of care. Looping has been studied in several countries, but further research is needed in the English context, particularly given that teachers report being open to the strategy, if it is supported by evidence. However, as this article highlights, there are potential tensions between reducing teachers' influence over allocation and the impact this might have on teacher satisfaction and retention, as well as potential tradeoffs between grade-specific and student-specific expertise.
