Studies on students' perceptions and expectations during physical education (PE) online learning remain scarce. Centered on self-determination theory, the present cross-sectional study aims to identify gender differences and predictors affecting motivation, psychological needs satisfaction (PNS), and academic achievement during PE online learning. Data were collected from Saudi students' (N = 308, 161 females and 147 males) responses to the PE autonomy, relatedness, competence, and motivation questionnaires. Welch's t-test for unequal sample sizes, multiple linear regression, and binary logistic regression were used to compare means and to predict the relationships between the independent and dependent variables. The results showed higher autonomy and competence perceptions in female than in male students, but no differences were observed in relatedness. Female students presented higher intrinsic motivations, lower amotivation perceptions than males. However, no gender differences were recorded in extrinsic motivation. Students with less experience in online learning and weak grade point averages (GPAs) are more susceptible to having a high level of amotivation. Gender, GPA, and prior experience with online learning are the common predictors for all PNS and amotivation, while GPA and prior experience with online learning are the determinants of intrinsic motivation. GPA is affected by prior experience with online learning, autonomy, competence, intrinsic motivation, and amotivation. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to adapt their didactic-pedagogical behaviors during PE online learning according to students' motivation and autonomy perceptions. Structuring teaching activities with more individualized support for autonomy, competence, intrinsic motivation, and students' online skills/competencies ensures better learning efficiency and academic achievements.

Empirical studies into meaning systems surrounding implicit theories of intelligence typically entail two stringent assumptions: that different implicit theories and different effort beliefs represent opposite poles on a single scale, and that implicit theories directly impact the constructs as achievement goals and academic motivations. Through an empirical study based on a large sample of university students, we aim to demonstrate that relaxing these stringent assumptions, and thereby using the meaning system framework to its full potential, will provide strong benefits: effort beliefs are crucial mediators of relationships between implicit theories and achievement goals and academic motivations, and the different poles of implicit theories and effort beliefs do expose different relationships with goal setting behaviour and academic motivations. A structural equation model, cross-validated by demonstrating gender-invariance of path coefficients, demonstrates that incremental and entity theory views have less predictive power than positive and negative effort beliefs in explaining achievement goals and motivations.

Lo scopo di questo lavoro è quello di presentare i primi risultati delle indagini sul corpus ALIAS, una vasta raccolta di testi istituzionali prodotti dalle università pubbliche italiane a proposito della carriera alias. Innanzitutto, il corpus è stato sottoposto a un’annotazione manuale machine-assisted per mappare e analizzare le strategie lessicali e morfosintattiche utilizzate per riferirsi alle persone richiedenti la carriera alias. Inoltre, si è analizzata la leggibilità del corpus grazie al tool READ-IT. Questa prima fase di ricognizione è servita per mappare lo status quæstionis della comunicazione istituzionale indirizzata a persone trans* e non binarie a oggi presente negli atenei italiani. In secondo luogo, è stato estratto il testo che presentava il valore medio di leggibilità globale tra tutti i testi esplicativi presenti sui siti web delle università e sono stati condotti due esperimenti qualitativi. Il primo è consistito in una riscrittura gender-fair commissionata a una platea di oltre 100 studentesse e studenti del primo anno di università al fine di testare il sentiment delle persone direttamente interessate da questi temi: si chiedeva loro di riconoscere span di testo eventualmente problematici dal punto di vista dell’inclusione e di riscriverli secondo la propria sensibilità. Un secondo esperimento ha visto avanzare una proposta di riscrittura dello stesso testo da parte di una mano esperta coniugando strategie inclusive standard non binarie con tecniche di chiarezza e semplificazione della comunicazione istituzionale, al fine di dimostrare che la scrittura burocratica può far dialogare queste due istanze in modo proficuo. Il fine ultimo del lavoro è quello di avviare il dialogo e la costituzione di un gruppo di lavoro che possa fornire linee guida nazionali per la scrittura gender-fair chiara in prospettiva di superamento del binarismo di genere, e che allo stesso tempo produca modelli testuali flessibili e accurati, adottabili nel maggior numero di atenei con il minor numero possibile di cambiamenti.

INTRODUCTION The basic goals of the physical education teaching is to planned and meaningfully achieve the positive influence on the psychosomatic status, i.e. to provide the incentives for normal growth and development of students, as well as their training for self control and examination of their health and physical abilities (Aleksic, 2010). If it is wanted to significantly influence the anthropological dimensions of younger children of school age, it is necessary to choose the means of physical exercise of general character and apply them with significantly bigger intensity than it is now in practice. In other words, most of the principles and methods of a sports training should be built in the physical education and adapt them to the younger school age, affecting the general motorics, i.e. their motor behavior, and thus, the other anthropological dimensions (Bala, 1981). Such opinions were the starting point for this research which aim is to significantly intensify the effects...

This study investigates the impact of gamification on student motivation and engagement in STEM education among middle school students. A total of 300 students (aged 11–14) from six public and private schools in Srinagar District, Jammu & Kashmir, India, were surveyed, alongside 30 STEM teachers, to explore the practical challenges of integrating gamification. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative survey data and qualitative focus group discussions to assess how gamification elements—such as challenges, leaderboards, and real-time feedback—influence student behaviour. Thematic analysis of focus group discussions revealed key themes related to motivation, engagement, technology access, and challenges. Diverse perspectives were ensured by selecting participants based on gender, socio-economic background, and technological access. Quantitative analysis, including t-tests, pre-test and post-test comparisons, and ANOVA, showed significant improvements in student motivation and engagement, with strong positive correlations between gamification elements and behavioural outcomes. The findings demonstrate that gamification enhances motivation and engagement, particularly through competitive and collaborative mechanics, while identifying barriers such as technology access, teacher time constraints, and sustaining long-term interest. The study emphasizes the need for well-designed gamification strategies, equitable access to technology, and teacher training to optimize gamified learning in STEM education.

BackgroundA growing empirical base suggests that there is a positive relationship between teacher social interaction and student achievement. However, much of this research is based on standardized summative assessments, which, while important, may have limited applicability to timely instructional decision making. As such, in this work, we examine the relationship between teacher social interaction and interim benchmark formative assessments, which have been argued to play a more useful role in instructional decision making.PurposeIn this study we used a human and social capital framework to explore the relationship between teacher social interaction and student achievement on an interim benchmark formative assessment. We hypothesized that teacher social capital would be positively related with student achievement as measured by an interim assessment, even after controlling for student and teacher demographics as well as proxies for teacher human capital.PopulationA sample of 63 te...

Technology integration into education has traditionally been a gradual process, particularly in Japan where many English education programs at universities have historically relied on paper-based materials and face-to-face interactions. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technological tools in these programs was minimal, and classes were predominantly conducted without leveraging modern digital technologies. However, the pandemic necessitated a rapid shift towards digital solutions, highlighting the crucial role of Information and Communication

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way students learn by making education more
personalized and focused on individual needs. This research paper looks at how AI is being used
in schools, especially for students from kindergarten to grade 12 (K–12). One key part of this
study compares AI tutors and human teachers. While AI tutors can give instant help and adjust
lessons based on a student’s progress, human teachers provide emotional support,
encouragement, and personal connection that technology cannot fully replace. The paper
explores how both are seen by students and teachers, and how effective they are in real
classrooms. Another important area discussed is the use of generative AI tools like ChatGPT in
daily learning. These tools help students with writing, problem-solving, and answering questions,
but they also raise concerns about misuse, over-reliance, and the accuracy of information. The
study also explores new technologies like eye-tracking, which can check if students are paying
attention during online tests. This helps teachers understand how focused a student is and
improve online teaching methods. Lastly, the paper looks at how AI is being used to detect
learning disabilities in children early on. AI systems can look at patterns in how students behave
or perform and give early warnings, helping parents and teachers give the right support sooner.

Motivation, in the context of family vacations is the force which drives the family members to go on such vacations, with different needs to be met from the vacation. In ‘families with teenagers’ the motivation of the teenagers for a family vacation might be different from that of the parents. This paper aims to identify the latent factors which constitute the dimension of motivation for teenagers for family vacations. A study was conducted on Indian teenagers in the age group 13 to 17 years, in Mumbai. An exploratory factor analysis was done and four factors emerged for the teenagers’ motivation for family vacations. The four factors reported were ‘exploring cultural and natural heritage’, ‘status and indulgence’, ‘excitement’ and ‘relaxation’. This paper can give vital inputs to marketers in the hospitality industry about the motivation of Indian teenagers for family vacations and help to target the specific factors through appropriate strategies.

Writing is often regarded as the most challenging skill. Writing anxiety often hinders the improvement of learners' writing quality and achievement. Many studies have focused on writing anxiety related to learning a foreign language. However, limited research has been done on the use of self-regulation strategies to overcome anxiety. As an essential emotional factor, anxiety is of great signif icance in language learning. Hence, this study aims to investigate the extent of writing anxiety and the use of selfregulation strategies to understand college students' writing anxiety and selfregulation strategies to reduce writing anxiety and improve writ ing performance. A quantitative method was employed to investigate medical English students' writing anxiety and self-regulation strategies in China. A total of 156 students from a medical university in Ningxia, China, was randomly selected to participate in the survey. The research find ings revealed that medical English students' writing anxiety is widespread, and the majority of students experience high writing anxiety, while the use of selfregulation strategies is at an average level. It was found that students' use of selfregulation strategies generally decreased with increasing anxiety levels. This study sheds light on writing anxiety among medical English university students, raise s awareness among instructors, and improves learners' writing ability. Contribution/Originality: Limited research has been carried out on anxiety related to medical English writing and its relationship with self-regulation strategies. In this study, medical Engl ish students' writing anxiety and the use of self-regulation strategies have been investigated, which fills the research gap and enriches the scope of related research.

It's time to reconsider liberal arts education-especially in general education. The stakes are high, and our current model may not always deliver on its promise. Too often, liberal arts courses focus on disciplinary content as if that alone suffices. Students may learn theories and frameworks but rarely practice applying them. They leave knowing what something is, not how to use it. That's a serious issue if our goal is to prepare students for life and work. This isn't about abandoning the liberal arts-it's about making them relevant to the world students are entering.

The present study was designed to examine the effects of ARCS motivational model (Keller, 2010) on university prep class students’ motivation. For this purpose, ARCS motivational model strategies were inserted to the instructional design via detailed lesson plans which were applied throughout ten weeks. To find out the effects of ARSC model Course Interest Survey (CIS) and Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) were administered at the beginning and end of the study. The results of CIS indicated a significant increase since students showed higher course motivation based on the overall CIS results at the end of the study. CIS was evaluated in terms of each ARCS category and a significant difference was observed in all scales. The results showed that the ARCS model inserted language instruction had positive influence on students’ course motivation in all categories. As for IMMS results a significant difference in students’ instructional motivation scores was found. For a dee...

In this paper, we report a longitudinal study of the effects of procedural task repetition on learners' task performance (i.e., syntactic complexity in relation to lexical complexity). We investigated how task repetition results in differences at the group and individual level across each task interval (T = 7). Intermediate-level Saudi learners of English (N = 93) performed a written task biweekly over the course of a whole semester. To control for text type, mode and tenor were fixed at each data elicitation moment, but field was varied in these writing tasks to keep learners engaged. Using Bayesian generalized additive mixed models and mixed location-scale models, we analyzed specific ways that groups and individuals changed across time over the course of each task iteration and in relation to previous points. Our results showed that learners' task performance demonstrated nonlinearity, stability, and variability with meaningfully different effects on individual and group-level development over time.

This pioneering article aims to understand hybrid tutoring strategies, which combine human and artificial tutor interventions. In this regard, an approach of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) was developed, involving the intervention of human tutors to mediate student engagement in e-learning. To evaluate the effectiveness of the approach, testing guidelines were adopted involving human tutors from the stages of system preparation, activity script creation and interview, test application, data collection, analysis, and communication of iteration results and proposals for improving the ITS approach. The results suggest effectiveness in increasing productivity and facilitating tutoring activities. Additionally, there was a lower perception of complexity, burden, and consistency when continuously iterating the system with the involvement of human tutors. Therefore, strategies such as "active search" for students with low engagement levels were facilitated by algorithms from the ITS approach, with the contribution and involvement of interpersonal interactions of human tutors to provide students with attractive and personalized tutoring experiences.

The research is a continuation of a whole range of existing ones dealing with the outcomes of music education for the gifted. Results obtained up to now have pointed to weak “ecological validity“ of professional competencies acquired at the level of higher education in music arts and their limitation within the demands of labour market and working conditions in contemporary social circumstances. Using qualitative methodology our intention was to examine in more details the attitudes of those musically gifted towards the outcomes of music higher education and their professional perspective. Research aims: 1) to establish the assessment of students of music on the types and the level of (not)acquired competencies for work within six professional orientations existing in the labour market in Serbia (musical pedagogy, performance, creative work, work in the media, music production, work in popular music genres) and 2) to establish which jobs are considered (un)desirable by students of m...

On the sample of 10 selected swimmers, members of national swimming team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was conducted the research with the aim of finding those anthropological characteristics that are responsible for success in swimming. The paper presented the results of analysis of the influence of some anthropological components, which directly influences the result of swimming. It is tested the hypothesis that the significant correlation between anthropological dimension set in latent form and the results of success in swimming is expected. Conducted a regression analysis, but in a way that the previously isolated factors as the latent dimension, brought in connection with a sports result in swimming. This was due to determine the maximum possible model from existing data. Sixteen of the latent dimensions or factors are included, of which: 3 morphological factors, 5 isokinetics factors, 2 functional factors, 2 factors analysing blood composition and 4 motor factors.

The motivational style that teachers adopt during their interactions with their students in class can have a significant influence on the search for optimal and balanced development. Knowing the role of motivation in generating positive change, the key is to define the strategies that constitute an adaptive motivational style of teaching. The aim of this study was to design and validate the set of motivational strategies to support autonomy that are framed within the Self-Determination Theory in the context of physical education classes. For this purpose, a five-phase process was designed and carried out in one study involving different samples of experts, teachers and students. On the one hand, 25 autonomy-supportive motivational strategies were obtained and organized according to their perceived difficulty. We also analyzed the importance attributed by teachers and the difficulty of implementing them, as well as the autonomy support perceived by students through these strategies. ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is breaking into Physical Education (PE) at an accelerated pace. Although the studies carried out are very recent, we present in this article a first exploration of the initial impact that AI is having on PE. Through a systematic review according to PRISMA standards, we examined the scientific literature on recently published studies between 2019 and 2024 that analysed how AI can contribute to improving learning in PE. For this purpose, a search was carried out in the specialised databases ERIC, ProQuest, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), in which a total of 241 articles were found. After applying the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 10 studies were included and analysed according to three categories: scientific evidence on the use of AI in PE, areas of implementation of AI in PE, and educational use of AI in PE. The results showed a lack of research on the application of AI in PE, especially at primary and secondary eduation stages in Europe, suggesting that its integration is still embryonic. They also highlighted the potential of AI, such as video and voice analytics, Intelligent Computer Assisted Instruction (ICAI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to personalise learning in PE, improve student satisfaction, physical performance and teaching effectiveness. However, it emphasises the need for further studies to explore the real impact of AI on the learning and development of PE competences.

The focus of the study was to explore the roles of the visual resources in the teaching and learning at the Kyebi Presbyterian Basic School. The study adopted the qualitative method of research design. The population of the study consisted of the learners and teachers in the school, who were randomly and purposively sampled respectively. Data was collected using questionnaire, interview as well as observation. The data was analyzed using thematic content analysis approach. It was revealed that, visual resources are the tangible objects that could be seen and touched. The study made it clear that, visual resources help learners to relate abstract objects to reality during teaching and learning situation. Also, the visual resources help to arouse the interest of the learners. It was therefore recommended that, the Sekyere Central District Assembly should encourage the study of visual Arts in their schools so as to harness the full potentials of the learners in the Visual Arts. Furthermore, the use of teaching learning resources should be strengthen in Kyebi Presbyterian Primary school to help teaching and learning to be more friendly and interesting.

This qualitative research study was intended to find the thoughts, feelings and actions of school principals of secondary schools in the town of Selebi Phikwe about the leadership styles they use in their high-performing schools and how their educational leadership practices align to the 21 leadership responsibilities coined by Marzano et al. (2005). The study used a phenomenological research design. Semi-structured interviews were used for collecting data from six school principals purposefully selected, who maintained high student achievement in the high-performing secondary schools. The evidence presented in this study established that to be successful in high-performing schools, principals must develop a school culture of high expectations with a focus on student achievement. Principals must be good managers who are compassionate. Effective principals build the collective efficacy of their teams by building strong relationships through effective means of communication. The participants of the study highlighted building school culture and having a clear and concise vision as the most prevalent characteristics principals must possess. In high-performing schools, the development of a strong culture is intentional and aligned to strong student achievement. Effective principals develop teacher instructional capacity through mentorship and coaching programs to assuage the challenges of inexperienced teachers and also value relationships with students, parents and the community. Effective principals retain experienced teachers in their schools by building strong relationships. Focus and being data-driven were also identified as leadership responsibilities that an effective principal must practice in an environment of their high-performance.

Bu araştırmada amaç "problem çözme stratejilerinin ortaokul matematik öğretmenleri tarafından kullanılıp kullanılmadığı, kullanılıyorsa hangilerinin kullanıldığı ve öğretmenlerin bu stratejilerle ilgili farkındalığının ne düzeyde olduğu" sorularına cevap aramaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama amacıyla Ankara'nın merkez ilçelerinden olan Çankaya ve Altındağ'dan toplam beş okul seçilmiş ve her okuldan iki öğretmen olmak üzere toplam 10 öğretmen ile görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin problem çözme stratejilerine ilişkin görüşleri alınan bu çalışmada, giriş ve sonuç sorularının olduğu iki bölümün yanı sıra her bir stratejiye ait dokuz bölümden oluşan bir yarı yapılandırılmış form kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, genel bulgular ve her bir stratejiye ilişkin özel bulgular şeklinde sınıflandırılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda öğretmenlerin derslerinde problem çözme stratejilerini genellikle plânsız ve farkında olmadan kullandıkları ancak, çoğu öğretmenin stratejilerin kuramsal altyapısına sahip olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenler bazı stratejileri daha sık kullandıklarını, bazılarını ise ders konularının özelliklerinden dolayı daha az kullandıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca, genç öğretmenlerin lisans eğitiminden elde ettikleri bilgileri hatırlayarak stratejilerin bir kısmını kullandıkları; kıdemli öğretmenlerin ise stratejileri sahada edindikleri tecrübelerine dayanarak kullandıkları değerlendirilmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: İlköğretim matematik eğitimi, problem çözme stratejileri, ortaokul matematik öğretmenleri, öğretim yöntem ve teknikleri.

Profound educational transformations occur due to Emotional Artificial Intelligence, which recognizes emotions in real time while developing personalized learning strategies. The paper systematically evaluates how Emotional AI systems foster student motivation while helping improve their retention levels. AI tools, including intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) and chatbots, utilize personalized learning methods while enhancing student engagement and detecting at-risk students through early intervention measures. Various privacy-related issues, algorithmic prejudice, and moral obstacles continue to impede progress. The lack of long-term study results limits research on AI's lasting effects on education. The research findings indicate the use of privacy-conscious frameworks, bias reduction methods, and appropriate human oversight of AI systems in educational environments. Future studies need to be conducted in the form of long-term studies combined with ethical research on AI deployment. The research helps educational institutions establish ethically sound standards for implementing Emotional AI while maintaining its effectiveness.

Melalui penerapan Grit Theory dan Interest Theory, bimbingan dan konselor (BK) di pesantren memainkan peran penting dalam menumbuhkan ketekunan dan minat belajar santri. Grit Theory menekankan pentingnya kegigihan dalam menghadapi tantangan, sementara Interest Theory menunjukkan bahwa memiliki minat yang terfasilitasi dapat meningkatkan keinginan untuk belajar. Kekuatan BK di pesantren terletak pada pendekatan yang dekat dengan santri, mendorong ketekunan dalam belajar, dan mendukung pengembangan minat dan bakat. BK membantu santri dalam menetapkan tujuan, mengatasi rasa minder, dan mengembangkan potensi mereka melalui berbagai kegiatan ekstrakurikuler melalui pendekatan yang personal dan berkelanjutan. Namun, ada beberapa masalah. Ini termasuk jumlah guru yang terbatas, fasilitas yang tidak memadai, dan kesulitan untuk menyeimbangkan pendidikan dan kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Untuk meningkatkan kinerja BK, diperlukan perbaikan sistem evaluasi, penambahan tenaga pendidik, dan dukungan yang lebih baik bagi santri, baik selama di pesantren maupun setelah lulus.

This study explores the factors contributing to student dropout in Sokoto metropolis, Nigeria. It investigates the influence of parental factors (occupation, socioeconomic status, residential location, and religious belief) and school climate factors (school culture, classroom ecology, school physical plant, and school administration). Using a qualitative approach, the study interviewed six principals and six education zonal officers. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed to identify key subthemes and themes. The study emphasizes the crucial importance of establishing validity and reliability in qualitative research. To ensure validity, the researchers employed triangulation, member checking, peer examination, submersion, and external validation. Reliability was addressed through dependability, triangulation, audit trails, peer review, trustworthiness, and appraisal (generalization). The study recommends that schools create a more inclusive environment for all students, regardless of their background, and that parents demonstrate greater commitment to their children's education. Furthermore, the study recommends that researchers using qualitative methods prioritize establishing validity and reliability at every stage of the research process.

BackgroundA growing empirical base suggests that there is a positive relationship between teacher social interaction and student achievement. However, much of this research is based on standardized summative assessments, which, while important, may have limited applicability to timely instructional decision making. As such, in this work, we examine the relationship between teacher social interaction and interim benchmark formative assessments, which have been argued to play a more useful role in instructional decision making.PurposeIn this study we used a human and social capital framework to explore the relationship between teacher social interaction and student achievement on an interim benchmark formative assessment. We hypothesized that teacher social capital would be positively related with student achievement as measured by an interim assessment, even after controlling for student and teacher demographics as well as proxies for teacher human capital.PopulationA sample of 63 te...

This research explores the place of cognitive flexibility in
strengthening adaptive thinking and problem-solving skills in
response to climate change problems, and specifically
highlights AI-powered education as an intervention tool to
enhance such capabilities. Through a quantitative design,
information was gathered from 180 Pakistani trainers and
teachers using a self-administered questionnaire. The research
applied correlation, multiple regression, and post hoc
statistical tests to examine variable relationships. Results
indicated a strong positive correlation between cognitive
flexibility and decision-making (r = 0.652, p < 0.01) and
problem-solving capacity (r = 0.689, p < 0.01). Furthermore,
AI-based education positively predicted adaptive thinking
skills acquisition (β = 0.721, p < 0.01, R² = 0.612), affirming
its efficacy. However, post hoc analysis highlighted challenges
in AI adoption, with less experienced educators perceiving
greater barriers (MD = 0.934, p < 0.001). The study
underscores the need for ethical AI integration, educator
training, and policy support to enhance the effectiveness of AI
in climate education. Future research should explore
sustainable AI adoption models and interdisciplinary
collaboration to maximize AI’s role in fostering climate
resilience.

Education has evolved over the years from the traditional classroom setting (Education 1.0) to today's highly customized, learner-driven model focused on collaboration and critical thinking (Education 5.0). This research provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of education across five stages (1.0 to 5.0), from the teacher-centered classroom to Education 5.0's emphasis on developing skills for an uncertain future. The objectives are to: (1) outline the key features of each education stage, (2) analyze the drivers catalyzing advancement from one model to the next, and (3) discuss the strengths and weaknesses of our current Education 5.0 model. The methodology entails an extensive literature review synthesizing scholarship on educational shifts over the past century. In terms of evolution, key features defining each education stage are explored, including the role of teacher vs. student, classroom setup , primary learning activities, and integration of technology. Findings suggest several core factors precipitating evolution from one education era to the next, such as societal and economic changes, technological innovations, emerging learning theories and psychological research, and critique of existing education models. While Education 5.0 fosters creativity, collaboration, and resilience, potential drawbacks include technological dependence, student disengagement, and inequality issues. Suggestions are provided for relentlessly improving Education 5.0 to prepare students with human-centered skills vital for the uncertain future.

Esta pesquisa buscou investigar os motivos que levam crianças de 8 a 10 anos, da rede particular de ensino, de Santa Maria-RS, à prática de atividades motoras na escola. Participaram deste estudo 88 crianças de ambos os sexos (45 meninas e 43 meninos), pertencentes ao ensino fundamental. Como instrumento, utilizou-se um questionário baseado em Roberts, . Para fins de coleta de dados, o questionário foi aplicado em grupo, em sala de aula. Para análise dos dados, utilizaram-se a estatística descritiva e as categorias internas (tarefa e ego) e externas (aprovação social e recompensa extrínseca). Com base nos resultados, chegou-se às seguintes conclusões: em relação aos motivos das crianças do sexo feminino para a prática de atividades motoras na escola, os motivos internos, relacionados ao ego, foram mais freqüentes, parecendo ser o divertimento e a distração as razões mais relevantes para este grupo; quanto aos motivos das crianças do sexo masculino para a prática de atividades motoras na escola, os mais evidenciados foram de ordem interna, relacionados com a tarefa, em que o prazer pela realização do movimento, o gosto pelo esporte e a aprendizagem nas aulas de Educação Física foram as razões mais importantes. Comparando os motivos internos e externos para a realização da prática motora, percebese que os de maior freqüência foram os de origem interna. Dessa forma, há evidências de que as crianças possuem os interesses voltados para a tarefa e o ego, demonstrando, assim, que o ambiente escolar, em sua estrutura física e humana, parece estar oportunizando condições para a realização das atividades motoras, bem como o encorajamento e a instrução.

Recent research suggests that peer-to-peer argumentation supports conceptual change in students' knowledge structures in science and mathematics, provided that students actually juxtapose and evaluate different ideas in a critical, yet coconstructive manner. However, it is well known that this type of peer-to-peer dialogue is not easily elicited and sustained, especially on scientific topics. In this paper, we report on findings from research that investigates how the pursuing of different goals may result in more or less productive types of peer interaction and peer argumentation, and how this, in turn affects conceptual learning from these interactions. In study 1, we focused on the relation between students' individual achievement goal orientations and four different types of peer interaction behavior, with the help of self-report questionnaires. In study 2, the effect of different interaction goal instructions (co-constructive vs. competitive) is tested on peer dialogue and on subsequent individual learning gains.
