This practice report describes the development of a compensatory educational model to introduce first-year college students to resilient mindsets. The Teaching Resilient Mindsets Model emphasized (1) realistic expectations, (2) an "always learning" mindset, and (3) being prepared for challenges before they arise. After development, the…

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 aims to develop an integrated Project-Based Learning (PBL) model based on Values, Attitudes, Skills, and Knowledge (VASK), specifically designed for small-sized schools and mixed-grade classrooms. Employing a phenomenological study approach with a mixed-methods data structure, the research explores two key questions: What are effective…

Background/purpose. Innovative thinking and meta-skills are needed to solve difficult problems in the 21st century, but standard training techniques often fail. The fact that only 6% of pupils are innovative thinkers highlights a major educational gap. The GENICS learning approach (Grouping, Exploring, Discussion, Individual Activity, Combining,…

This study aims to determine the effect of inquiry-based learning using the 5E instructional model on students' attitudes toward learning history. A quantitative quasi-experimental design was employed, utilizing a pre-post attitude questionnaire. A total of 149 tenth-grade students from two different schools in Bonga town participated in the…

Promotion of students' scientific literacy has long been and continues to be a central goal for reform efforts in science education. Although there is a great number of research conducted to evaluate student's scientific literacy, less is known about how we can improve students' scientific literacy through variety of scientific practices. In this…

In synchronous online EFL classrooms, students often exhibit passive participation and boredom when learning grammar. This research study presents the development of an online active grammar learning instructional model, named LPCR, which incorporates Byrne's Presentation-Practice Production (PPP) approach and Fink's holistic view of active…

The recent push toward active learning -- engaging students in the learning process -- is meant to benefit students. Yet there is still much to learn about students' perceptions of this phenomenon. We share results from an interview study of students' perceptions of features of two active learning models institutionalized at a large…

This study introduces a pedagogical model: "the parallel co-inquiry cycles with performative inquiry for character related design" for higher education design studies that focus on characterization. The disciplines benefitting from cross-fertilization provided by the model include game design, fashion design, graphic design, theatre, and…

The purpose of this study was to find the differences and relationships between student responses, student character, and student attitudes towards the inquiry learning model for physics subjects. The contribution given in this study is useful if the student's response to learning is not good then there are problems in the learning taught by the…

High school research experience programs (HSREPs) provide opportunities for true science education and expose students to scientific investigations in laboratory settings. Various HSREPs models have been practiced to shape students' research understandings; however, a systematic comparison of the success, challenges, and opportunities of these…

Reviews of literature often summarize research within a given field to provide succinct information about state of the art as well as gaps for future research to address. In educational research, such information includes different positions within a field; for example, theoretical positions underpinning empirical studies. Such theoretical…

In contemporary society, students' analytical thinking and reasoning skills are crucial for their future development. The fourth grade (ages 9-10) is a critical stage for cultivating higher-level cognitive skills in students. Mathematics plays a significant role during this period, serving as a fundamental tool for fostering students' analytical…

This study investigated the effectiveness of the hybrid-flipped classroom model in improving English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) learners' argumentative writing skill. Also, it examined the students' perceptions on the effectiveness of the model as a means of learning argumentative writing skill. To these ends, a sample of 50 EFL learners from a…

The purpose of this action research was to improve mathematical problem-solving abilities using the virtual 5E instructional organization for undergraduate math students who required to pass the criteria of 70% of the full score. This study involved thirty undergraduate math students from one university who were enrolled in mathematical…
