Mohammad Reza Keramati; Robyn M. Gillies – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cooperative learning (CL) on the academic achievement of student teachers. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was implemented in which quantitative data were collected first, followed by qualitative data to clarify the results of the experimental study. Achievement test,…

Winters, Scarlett; Farnsworth, Kimberly; Berry, Douglas; Ellard, Susan; Glazewski, Krista; Brush, Thomas – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study used an explanatory mixed methods research design to examine the scaffolding strategies of middle school teachers during a design problem-based learning (PBL) unit. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were used in data collection and analysis, and the findings were integrated for interpretation. Our analysis of classroom…

Bing Yang; Chongqing Xie; Tingting Liu; Jing Xu; Weihua Li – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
It is still a challenge for students to engage in classroom dialogue actively and realize effective dialogue-based learning, as classroom dialogue are influenced by a multitude of factors. It is reasonable to believe that by delving into a specific variable (perceived care) to gain insights into its potential impact on dialogue engagement, which…

Liu, Yan; Deng, Lisa; Lin, Lin; Gu, Xiaoqing – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
With the rapid development of mobile devices and web-based technologies, it becomes common for students to switch between different tasks during study time. However, it remains unclear how the transition between on-task and off-task states happens and how digital devices affect the process. This study examines college students' independent study…

Zhang, Hai; Yu, Luyao; Cui, Yulu; Ji, Mengxue; Wang, Yining – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
The study of teacher development and teaching interaction in physical classrooms has presented research problems, but with the development of classroom observation and video analysis, quantitative and visual analysis of the teaching process has been realized. In order to better understand the teaching models of teachers, this study is devoted to…

Chen, Jyun-Chen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
"Learning by doing" involves completing a practice activity through the method of inquiry. This study combined the predict-observe-explain (POE) inquiry method and hands-on doing processes to develop a cycle-mode POED (predict-observe-explain-do) model with an e-learning system to help students complete a practice activity using…

Ghaem Sigarchian, Hajar; Logghe, Sara; Verborgh, Ruben; de Neve, Wesley; Salliau, Frank; Mannens, Erik; Van de Walle, Rik; Schuurman, Dimitri – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
An e-TextBook can serve as an interactive learning environment (ILE), facilitating more effective teaching and learning processes. In this paper, we propose the novel concept of an EPUB 3-based Hybrid e-TextBook, which allows for interaction between the digital and the physical world. In that regard, we first investigated the gap between the…

Kim, Yanghee; Smith, Diantha – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
The ubiquity and educational potential of mobile applications are well acknowledged. This paper proposes six theory-based, pedagogical strategies to guide interaction design of mobile apps for young children. Also, to augment the capabilities of mobile devices, we used a humanoid robot integrated with a smartphone and developed an English-learning…

Sun, Peijian; Yuan, Rui – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
This study explored the congruence and disparities among three groups of foreign language (Chinese, French, and German) students' and teachers' perceptions of collaborative/cooperative language learning (CLL) strategies in novice-level classroom contexts. A total of 168 participants from a university in the USA took part in this mixed-method…

Aflalo, Ester; Zana, Lizet; Huri, Tehila – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
The findings of the research literature about the necessity and contribution of Interactive Whiteboards (IWB) are not unequivocal and are sometimes contradictory. The study aimed to examine the interactive attributes in lessons with an IWB and the students' attitudes. Methodical structured observations of 26 science lessons were conducted in…

Chang, Hsin-Yi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
Two investigations were conducted in this study. In the first experiment, the effects of two types of interactivity with a computer simulation were compared: experimentation versus observation interactivity. Experimentation interactivity allows students to use simulations to conduct virtual experiments, whereas observation interactivity allows…

Sahlin, Johannes S.; Tsertsidis, Antony; Islam, M. Sirajul – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
During recent years, many schools have started to implement information and communication technologies (ICTs)-based learning devices (such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and active boards) in the classroom settings in order to increase learning outcomes. The aim of this study is to find which activities and outcomes are evident in the usages…
