Scheduled adaptive recalibration for sustainable and accurate demand forecasting in urban building energy management
Making sense of student STEM identity: An ontological approach
Students’ STEM identity has received considerable attention in STEM education in recent years. However, the diversity in how it is operationalized and measured in quantitative studies has led to conceptual confusion and difficulties in comparing findings across studies. This study aims to organize and represent operationalized components of student STEM identity from quantitative measurement studies by applying standards and techniques from ontol…

Measurement of student STEM identity: A systematic literature review
Investigating students’ scientific thinking process during online inquiry learning: A process mining approach
Scientific thinking is a critical mental process in education, one that relies on investigation, hypothesis development, and critical evaluation. This study explores how scientific thinking evolves during online scientific inquiry, specifically examining students’ use of logic and systematic inquiry strategies to ask questions, gather data, analyse data, and draw conclusions. Using process mining, the research identified effective patterns in sci…
Students’ STEM career expectations: Effects of science and mathematics abilities and attitudes relative to language abilities and attitudes
In response to growing concerns about low participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers, there is a need for more understanding of the underlying cognitive and motivational mechanisms affecting students’ STEM career expectations. This study examined whether relative strengths of abilities and attitudes in science, mathematics, and Chinese language could predict STEM career expectations among junior secondary sc…
AI-driven discovery of an allosteric thrombin-targeting anticoagulant peptide from traditional Chinese medicine Dilong (Pheretima aspergillum)
A hybrid governance framework for adaptive and sustainable urban energy management
Rapid urbanization and escalating energy demands necessitate innovative solutions for sustainable and efficient energy management in smart cities. This paper presents a novel hybrid urban energy governance framework, distinguished by its unique architectural design that orchestrates a synergistic interplay of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, and Federated Learning. The framework’s core technical novelty lies i…
A novel entropy-based method for quantifying urban energy demand aggregation: Implications for urban planning and policy
Urban energy demand aggregation (UEDA) is a key aspect of urban sustainability, as it can help to improve the energy efficiency of urban systems and reduce their environmental impacts. However, UEDA is a challenging task, as it involves aggregating heterogeneous and diverse energy demands of individual buildings into a collective demand at a given spatial scale. This paper proposes a novel entropy-based method for UEDA that quantifies the informa…
Science career expectation and science-related motivation: A latent profile analysis using Pisa 2015 data
In response to growing concerns about students' low aspiration for science-related careers, more understanding on how student science motivation is related to science career aspiration is needed. This study utilised a person-centred approach to investigating the association between students' science-related motivation profiles and their science career expectation using the 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data set. Analy…
Moderating effects of teacher feedback on the associations among inquiry-based science practices and students’ science-related attitudes and beliefs
This study aims to examine the moderating effect of teacher feedback on the associations among inquiry-based science teaching and learning practices and students’ science-related attitudes and beliefs. The data set included 9, 841 15-year-old students from four Chinese provinces (Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Guangdong) who took part in the sixth cycle of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Multiple regression analyses re…
Development and validation of an observation protocol for measuring science teachers' modeling‐based teaching performance
To achieve the goal of cultivating students' scientific modeling competence, it is crucial to improve teachers' epistemic knowledge and skills with respect to modeling‐based teaching. Taking into consideration existing studies on enhancing teaching competence and teachers' professional development on modeling, and the importance of classroom teaching quality for effective and meaningful teaching and learning, we proposed a framework for the asses…
Comparing student science performance between hands-on and traditional item types: A many-facet Rasch analysis
Active components in Ephedra sinica stapf disrupt the interaction between ACE2 and Sars-CoV-2 RBD: Potent Covid-19 therapeutic agents
Effects of a professional development program on science teacher knowledge and practice, and student understanding of interdisciplinary science concepts
Situated in the context of an in‐service professional development (PD) program focused on Interdisciplinary Science Inquiry, this quantitative study tests the validity of and further explores the theoretical model adapted from Desimone's (2009), Educational Researcher , 38 , 181–199 conceptual framework on effectiveness of PD. The participants include 204 teachers and 5,581 students within 12 local public schools from 2012 to 2016. The multilevel…
Confucianism Reconsidered: Insights for American and Chinese Education in the Twenty-First Century
Explores the rich potential of Confucianism in American and Chinese classrooms of the twenty-first century. This is one of the first books to explicitly address twenty-first-century education from a Confucian perspective. The contributors focus on why Confucianism is relevant to both American and Chinese education, how Confucian pedagogical principles can be applied to diverse sociocultural settings, and what the social and moral functions of a C…
Development of a measure of early mathematics achievement using the Rasch model: The Research‐Based Early Maths Assessment
There are only a few instruments to assess mathematics knowledge and skills in children as young as three to four years of age, and these instruments are limited in scope of content. We describe the development of a theoretically based, empirically tested instrument designed to measure the mathematical knowledge and skills of children from three to seven years of age, emphasising its submission to the Rasch model. After using the data to refine t…
