Predicting injury risk in young female volleyball players through movement and jump assessments
Background The increasing prevalence of sports injuries among young female volleyball players, driven by biomechanical and hormonal factors, necessitates effective prevention strategies. Screening tools like the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) often show inconsistent predictive validity for injury risk in this population. This study investigates associations between FMS, SEBT, agility, and muscle strength w…
Exploring the Relationship Between Teachers' AI Attitudes, AI Self‐Efficacy, and AI Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge

Supporting Girls' Engineering Habits of Mind With STEM Education
STEM is a field where gender stereotypes regarding men persist. Women are underrepresented compared to men in STEM fields. The social belief that engineering is only for men discourages young girls from pursuing such endeavors. Encouraging young girls to enter STEM fields is crucial to dispel these stereotypes. Therefore, one of the essential aspects of beginning STEM education in early childhood is dismantling the gendered perception of professi…
