Due to the nature of RME, which sees mathematics as a human activity, there is never a fixed and complete theory for mathematics education. Therefore, it is seen as an approach that still needs to be developed. The aim of this research is to analyze the RME (Realistic Mathematics Education) activities prepared by the pre-service primary school…

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between online instructors' pedagogical beliefs and their choices of online learning activities. Data were collected from 167 faculty members with the use of online instructors' pedagogical beliefs and student learning activities surveys at a medium-sized masters-level public university…

Constructive alignment (CA) has developed into one of the most significant concepts in higher education since its establishment in the late 1990s. CA is a powerful instrument for curriculum design that aligns learning outcomes with teaching and learning activities and assessments to enhance the quality of students' learning. In this conceptual…

The research sought to study potential efficiency in course design and execution using Constructive Alignment, and then classroom workflow grounded in eduScrum based on the Agile Project Framework of Scrum for graduate classes in managerial analytics. The research measured performance based on the Scrum concept of Velocity, defined as the rate of…

This quantitative, quasi-experimental study aimed to propose research-based AI constructivist learning activities by measuring students' self-perceptions of their critical thinking using the Motivational Strategies and Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The study utilized the input-experience-output framework to evaluate how these learning pursuits…

Students in higher education increasingly integrate emerging technologies to enrich their learning experiences. Universal tools such as virtual classrooms, multimedia presentations, and learning management systems are now widely employed in teaching and learning activities. However, Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are not yet commonly used…

Research, primarily from pre-service teachers' perspectives, has found that teacher education programmes are not providing adequate preparation for constructivist pedagogy using information technology. This subject is pronounced in Ghana's teacher education programmes, where local research that investigates knowledge patterns in technology…

This article aims to provide practical strategies and examples for pre-service early education programs and early education teachers to develop music- and movement-based curricula for teacher preparation programs and early childhood music classrooms. To address the inconsistencies in early childhood music programs, the authors developed the…

This study explored the impact of a thoughtfully designed activity that used manipulatives to represent student diversity and impact student engagement within a constructivist course for first-year education students at a small private liberal arts university. The activity encouraged students to represent their own diversity by building something…

Socio-cultural and social constructivist theories are crucial in learning and education. This article aims to inform readers about socio-cultural and social constructivist theories and to present their application in language classrooms. The body of knowledge in this article was synthesized from journal articles and books concentrating on the…

Students must develop higher order cognitive skills (HOCS) that allow them to think critically and use their learning in novel situations. However, little is known about how including HOCS in teaching and assessment affects students' perception of learning. We combine quantitative and qualitative data to determine whether the inclusion of HOCS and…

Design thinking is gaining momentum across the many fields of human endeavour, including education. Its use in education is predominantly to shape learning activities undertaken by students with the aim of nurturing the growth of desirable 21st century capabilities in students. There is relatively less attention given to the application of design…

The need for constructivist classroom environments in mathematics teaching cannot be ignored in order for sustainable development to continue. One of the most important applications of constructivist classroom environments in mathematics education all over the world is mathematical activities. The proficiency of pre-service mathematics teachers in…

The rise of technology and online approaches has challenged the traditional learning and teaching model for first year chemistry of formal face-to-face lectures and in-person laboratory sessions. The COVID-19 pandemic since 2020 has created a rapidly changing environment in assessment and learning experiences for students and led to rapid adoption…

Problem solving plays an essential role in all scientific disciplines, and solving problems can reveal essential concepts that underlie those disciplines. Thus, problem solving serves both as a common tool and desired outcome in many science classes. Research on teaching problem solving offers principles for instruction that are guided by learning…
