Research in mathematics education and interdisciplinarity is varied and extensive, covering multiple approaches that reflect a growing interest in this type of perspective. The objective of this study is to systematize the findings of research on interdisciplinary mathematics education published between 2019 and 2024. The review was carried out following the guidelines of the PRISMA statement, allowing us to identify 49 articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases. Subsequently, a content analysis was carried out to identify methodological and theoretical aspects present in the studies reviewed, such as methodology employed, education level of participants, disciplines integrated with mathematics, and types of interdisciplinary tasks proposed. Additionally, four main research themes were identified: (a) understanding of interdisciplinarity; (b) pedagogical strategies for interdisciplinary development in mathematics education; (c) interdisciplinarity for the development of mathematical skills; and (d) professional development of mathematics teachers. The results reveal a sustained increase in the number of publications, which reflects a growing interest in the interdisciplinary approach in mathematics education. Finally, several challenges and opportunities are highlighted for future research, including the need to develop an interdisciplinary teacher training model, the creation of pedagogical strategies that promote greater interconnection between disciplines, and the need to carry out more studies focused on early childhood and primary education in this area.

This research exclusively aims to determine the type of digital media most often used in the teaching and learning process of history and the motivation to use digital media by teachers in teaching history based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). This study demonstrates that online learning platforms have become a widely used tool among Indonesian history teachers, with the highest adoption of online learning platform use in Junior and Senior High School, reflecting the high access to this platform across types of schools. The key driving factor for technology in history learning is that the technology must be user-friendly and have sufficient support for its use by educators. This research, using the technology acceptance model (TAM), contributes to teachers about motivational and environmental factors on technology adoption in teaching. Accessibility and proper support are the primary drivers for using technology in education and were the most impactful factors for teachers incorporating technology into history learning. Along with this supportive infrastructure, an effort must also be made to provide a conducive environment, such as teachers working together in this direction, and sufficient infrastructure for teachers so that it becomes easier for them to access and utilize technology. These methods can all help teachers gain confidence in their use of technology.

This study examined the impact of reading journals on the development of English as a foreign language (EFL) reading comprehension and engagement, while also analyzing participants' perceptions of the learning process. A mixed-method design was applied to a sample of 80 second-year senior high school students (aged 15–18) with A2 proficiency. Using a quasi-experimental approach, participants were divided into an experimental group that kept journals and a control group that followed traditional instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, student questionnaires, and thematic analysis of the journals. Results showed significant improvements in reading performance among students in the experimental group. Students also reported better vocabulary retention, improved ability to identify main ideas, and greater confidence. Reflections revealed increased engagement, critical thinking, and autonomy. However, learners faced challenges such as complex grammar, summarization, and time constraints. Overall, the findings suggest that reading journals can be an effective strategy to support EFL reading comprehension and foster deeper interaction with texts.

This study aims to develop and validate the Teachers' Spiritual Leadership Questionnaire (TSLQ) to assess teachers' spiritual leadership from students' perspectives. Grounded in the principles of spiritual leadership—Vision, Hope/Faith, and Altruistic Love—the TSLQ explores how teachers inspire, influence, and guide students toward both academic and holistic development. The study addresses the lack of assessment tools in educational settings and introduces a structured validation process to ensure the instrument's accuracy and reliability. The questionnaire was developed and refined through several stages using expert input, literature review, and statistical validation methods. A total of 402 students participated, and their responses were analyzed using factor analysis to examine the tool's structure and effectiveness. Findings confirmed that the TSLQ is valid and reliable, with strong alignment between items and the three key dimensions of spiritual leadership. The results supported the model's overall strength, indicating that the questionnaire effectively captures the intended constructs. The study concludes that the TSLQ is a sound instrument for understanding spiritual leadership in the classroom and can help educators and researchers better assess its impact on students' academic and personal growth. Further research is recommended to test the tool in different cultural and educational settings and to explore additional dimensions of spiritual leadership. This new tool offers valuable insights for enhancing teaching practices and promoting a supportive and values-driven learning environment.

The current study sought to evaluate the impact of programs used to enhance the self-regulation and social interaction for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), as perceived by their families. The descriptive approach was used to collect and analyze data and derive conclusions after developing the study instruments. The study sample consisted of 150 families of children with ASD enrolled in special education centers in Amman, Jordan. The study participants were purposefully selected to respond to the two provided measurement scales. To measure the impact of the intervention programs, the researchers developed the Self-Regulation Behavior Scale and the Social Interaction Scale, ensuring the validity and reliability of both scales. The results of the study indicated that from the families’ perspective, programs for children with ASD had a moderate impact on enhancing self-regulation and a high impact on social interaction. Additionally, the findings of the study revealed statistically significant differences in the degree of improvement in self-regulation and social interaction behaviors related to the child’s gender and the severity of their disorder. However, no statistically significant differences were found related to the child’s age and gender in their level of improvement in self-regulation and social interaction behaviors.

This qualitative article explores a Swedish teachers’ rebellion group (TRG) on Facebook with the aim of exploring teachers’ stories about violence in school. Facebook groups for teachers, such as the TRG, are common sites where teachers discuss and share professional matters and both public stories and subjective experiences. In this article, we focus on narratives about children who are perceived by the teachers as dangerous in various ways. The concept of the formula story, together with child and teacher agency, helps us to explore the symbolic and emotional aspects at stake when the teachers discuss the dangerous child in the TRG. In the analysis, an ambivalent image of the dangerous child emerges where child and teacher agency intersect with each other and with other human and non-human actors. This image challenges contemporary ideas and ideals about children and childhood as well as the teaching profession. The conclusion broadens our notions of the child and reflects upon the outcomes of applying agency to the context of school violence.

This preliminary study examines how three generative AI tools, ChatGPT-4, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, support B+ level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in opinion essay writing. Conducted at a preparatory school in Türkiye, the study explored student use of the tools for brainstorming, outlining, and feedback across three essay tasks. A mixed methods design combined rubric-based evaluations, surveys, and reflections. Quantitative results showed no significant differences between tools for most criteria, indicating comparable performance in idea generation, essay structuring, and feedback. The only significant effect was in the feedback stage, where ChatGPT-4 scored higher than both Gemini and Copilot for actionability. In the brainstorming stage, a difference in argument relevance was observed across tools, but this was not statistically significant after post-hoc analysis. Qualitative findings revealed task-specific preferences: Gemini was favored for clarity and variety in brainstorming and outlining, ChatGPT-4 for detailed, clear, and actionable feedback, and Copilot for certain organizational strengths. While the tools performed similarly overall, perceptions varied by task and tool, highlighting the value of allowing flexible tool choice in EFL writing instruction.

Home economics education connects multidisciplinary knowledge and is crucial in addressing the challenges of changing society at the individual and family levels. For quality home economics education, pupils need to acquire knowledge and skills based on the fundamentals of home economics literacy, content, and goals defined in the curriculum for this subject. Our research aimed to establish the needs and perspectives of teachers, pupils, and parents regarding the importance and utility of home economics education. Areas of home economics to be included in the subject’s curriculum were identified, based on the perceived needs of pupils, parents, and teachers. The Delphi methodological approach was used. The first round of the Delphi study involved 30 teachers, 34 9th-grade pupils, and 34 parents of 9th-grade pupils, and its second round involved 16 teachers, 33 9th-grade pupils, and 29 parents of 9th-grade pupils. Survey results showed that by the end of elementary school, pupils in their home economics classes had acquired knowledge and skills in the economic and financial area, as well as in environmental and consumption, textiles, nutrition, health and well-being, social skills, and family and home. Although individual groups of respondents differed in the perceived importance of particular home economics areas, the respondents considered it important that pupils acquire home economics knowledge and skills in all identified areas. The Delphi research method proved to be an adequate method to identify the areas of home economics education that are important for a quality of life in modern society and need to be included in the home economics curriculum.

...

This study examines the emotional labor of early childhood educators and its relationship with interactions involving children and parents, with a focus on emotional regulation and demographic influences. This study aimed to investigate the impact of emotional regulation strategies and demographic variables on educators’ emotional well-being during professional interactions. A quantitative approach was adopted, with data collected through structured questionnaires. The analysis concentrated on emotion suppression and surface acting in relation to well-being. Results indicated that teachers experienced considerable emotional burden, with emotion suppression being more prevalent than surface acting, particularly in interactions with parents. Fifty-three percent of educators reported a high emotional burden in parent-related suppression, compared to 38% in interactions with children. Additionally, 38% reported high suppression in self-regulation, while 29% experienced no burden from surface acting. Emotion suppression in parent interactions had the most significant impact on well-being (standardized coefficient = 0.4044, p < .001), followed by education level (coefficient = 0.1646, p < .001). Factors such as generation, teaching experience, salary, and certification were not statistically significant. The model explained 18.7% of the variance in emotional well-being. These findings align with existing literature that highlights the emotional burden of teaching and the psychological toll of unaddressed regulation challenges. Therefore, culturally and contextually appropriate suppression-management training, together with enhanced institutional support, is essential to reduce the emotional burden on Indonesian early childhood educators.

Text readability assessment stands as a fundamental component of foreign language education because it directly determines students' ability to understand their course materials. The ability of current tools, including ChatGPT, to precisely measure text readability remains uncertain. Readability describes the ease with which readers can understand written material, while vocabulary complexity and sentence structure, along with syllable numbers and sentence length, determine its level. The traditional readability formulas rely on data from native speakers yet fail to address the specific requirements of language learners. The absence of appropriate readability assessment methods for foreign language instruction demonstrates the need for specialized approaches in this field. This research investigates the potential use of ChatGPT to evaluate text readability for foreign language students. The examination included selected textbooks through text analysis with ChatGPT to determine their readability level. The obtained results were evaluated against traditional readability assessment approaches and established formulas. The research aims to establish whether ChatGPT provides an effective method to evaluate educational texts for foreign language instruction. The research evaluates ChatGPT's capabilities beyond technical aspects. The study examines how this technology may influence students' learning experiences and outcomes. The text clarity evaluation capabilities of ChatGPT might lead to innovative approaches for developing educational tools. The implementation of this approach would generate lasting benefits for educational practices in schools. For example, ChatGPT’s readability classifications correlated strongly with Flesch-Kincaid scores (r = .75, p < .01), and its mean readability rating (M = 2.17, SD = 1.00) confirmed its sensitivity to text complexity.
