Workers in many vocations rely on a wide range of information to solve problems, including Dutch municipal enforcement officials (MEOs) who require this skill when planning surveillance routes. The present study focused on the development of a digital simulation game intended for assessing domain-specific information problem solving (IPS) in…

This study assesses the performance of ChatGPT in comparison with that of undergraduate students in 60 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) of Corporate Finance exams that sought to measure students' abilities to solve different types of questions (descriptive and numerical) and of varying difficulty levels (basic and intermediate). Our results…

This mixed-method study introduced an adaptive scaffolding system to support middle school science problem-based learning (PBL) activities. 298 6th-graders were grouped into three conditions, which are the adaptive scaffolding group, the non-adaptive scaffolding group, and a control group that did not receive any scaffoldings. Results showed that…

While access to digital innovations for creative learning in the Digital Age is pivotal, the preparedness of educational systems to meet children's learning digitally should there be a reemergence of a pandemic on the scale witnessed in 2019 remains unanswered by Learning Scientists. Using constructionist theory, the study examined the…

Open Educational Resources (OER) have been adopted by growing numbers in higher education during the last two decades. Online repositories contain a myriad of OER content, learning objects, and activities. This article presents six case studies from both new and experienced instructors across multiple disciplines at a single institution. It…

Simulations provide a unique opportunity to practice newly acquired skills in a low risk environment. For this reason, simulations have historically been used in preservice teacher education programs to enable student teachers to apply generalized pedagogical practices. This pilot study examined how simulations could be integrated with inservice…

The discrepancy between students' understanding of domain knowledge and their actual competencies to use tacit knowledge for a given task has been an issue to consider when instruction is designed, implemented, and revised. In this study, the researcher examines teaching and learning processes in which a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) design model…
