The Efficacy of a Mathematics Intervention Program Based on Projects Developed by StudentsEinav LONDON, Iuliana ZSOLDOS-MARCHIȘ

Abstract This study investigates the effectiveness of a project-based mathematics intervention program developed through student-generated projects. Conducted in Israel in 2023, the study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test measures. The sample consisted of 57 tenth-grade students, divided into an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 27). The […]

Using GAI for Lesson Planning in Teacher Education. Connecting Content Knowledge to Psycho-pedagogical Theories, Roxana GHIAȚĂU

Abstract Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is a recent technology with valuable contributions to many educational fields, including initial and continuing teacher education. An essential component of teacher training is related to lesson planning, namely, the step-by-step anticipation of the stages of educational actions, integrating strategic decisions about what students will learn and how they will […]

Using Stepped Wedge in Educational Research: Methodological Considerations, Oana ONCIU, Flavia PRISACARU

Abstract The stepped-wedge clustered randomized design (SW-CRT) is an increasingly recognized research design, as it is particularly valuable when ethical or logistical constraints preclude conventional randomization. However, due to several limitations, it is underutilized in educational research. The study involved 80 children (ages 5 and 9), balanced by gender, distributed across 12 educational clusters. Data […]
