Group awareness tools have garnered significant interest within the realm of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), as they foster collaborative learning behaviors. However, in the context of a CSCL environment devoid of rich technologies, supporting group awareness is challenging. Contextualized in a teacher professional development…

Although innovation is widely recognised as a cornerstone of contemporary engineering, empirical studies consistently show that undergraduate electrical-engineering students lag behind industry expectations in rapidly translating interdisciplinary concepts into functional prototypes. These findings underscore the need to comprehensively reform…

This study explores the impact of project-based learning (PBL) on enhancing core competencies in educational psychology courses, specifically learning motivation, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving skills among undergraduate students. The research sample comprised 42 undergraduate students enrolled in an educational psychology…

This study scrutinizes the influence of project-based learning (PBL) and inquiry-based learning (IBL) on fourth graders' teamwork skills and critical thinking in math classes. A historical review reveals that while they have positive effects in multiple fields, their sole use in elementary math teaching is yet to be explored. 55 fourth-grade…

This study investigates the impact of gamified project-based learning (GPBL) on the learning motivation of elementary students in rural China and investigates how they perceive GPBL. Using GPBL as an intervention, this study adopts a descriptive qualitative research design, where observation notes, interviews, and focus groups triangulate to…

This study aims to investigate the effect of the Project-based Learning (PjBL) Class Model on Chinese undergraduates' argumentative writing performance. A mixed-methods approach was employed to attain the main objective of the study. It included 50 non-English major students in the control group (25) and experimental group (25) from a Chinese…

The process of building a teaching platform for contemporary Chinese literature poses many challenges. Based on big data research, this study was conducted using diversified intelligent analysis technology and theory. Through a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method and relevant steps regarding intelligent parameter improvement, this study…

Previous research has demonstrated that stereotypes associated with the female gender can impact technology and engineering education results. However, it remains unclear whether these stereotypes affect other relevant factors in technology and engineering education performance. The research used quantitative methods to investigate the correlation…

STEM education is widely recognized as a powerful means of cultivating well-rounded future talent. However, challenges such as difficulties in observation, declining learning interests, and the lack of teaching resources present obstacles to the implementation of STEM education in China. Virtual Reality (VR), with its immersive, interactive, and…

This research aimed to explore the impacts of project-based learning on promoting preservice teachers' communicative capabilities. A survey research design was employed to collect data, using an online questionnaire consisting of seven closed-ended and four open-ended questions. There were two target groups of preservice teachers who were…

Continuous developments in the electronics industry have led to constantly changing career roles and graduate skills requirements. Students in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) have complained that numerous courses in electronic engineering are heavily focused on theoretical knowledge that is disconnected from…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of one online PD in PBL. Researchers want to investigate if a five-day international online PBL training will prepare teachers to implement PBL in their classrooms. Secondly, the researchers aim to determine if the training provides teachers with sufficient knowledge and support…

Higher education is beginning to focus on how to effectively cultivate IoT engineers who possess both hard skills and soft skills. Therefore, from the perspective of activity theory and combining it with project-based learning, this study constructed a project-based learning framework based on activity theory and applied this framework to an IoT…

This study developed and examined an integrated instructional framework that combines Situated Learning (SL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to enhance primary students' reading comprehension and analytical thinking skills in Chinese language education. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review of relevant studies from 2018 to 2024, the…

Collaborative writing is a pedagogical activity increasingly used in second language education. Despite the increased research on L2 students' participation in collaborative writing, scant attention has been paid to student engagement in project-based collaborative writing and the possible engagement changes. This article reports on a longitudinal…
