Ensuring effective texts for student reading acquisition is a shared goal. This paper addresses the efficacy of decodable and leveled texts, their word features, and outcomes of reorganizing texts by vowel patterns and topics. Sparse evidence supports one text type's superiority in building a strong reading foundation. Further, the decoding…

This study examines the effectiveness of digital simulation-based training (DSBT) for acquiring complex knowledge and skills. After identifying key aspects of DSBT, it explains how they were used to design a new DSBT activity with Minecraft Education® for teaching agile project management to dispersed students. It then presents a theoretically…

Background: Robot programming can simultaneously cultivate learners' computational thinking (CT) and spatial thinking (ST). However, there is a noticeable gap in research focusing on the micro-level development patterns of learners' CT and ST and their interconnections. Objectives: This study aims to uncover the intricate development patterns and…

Learning gain in higher education, specifically the development of subject-adjacent skills, abilities and competencies, is of key scholarly and policy relevance. However, little research focuses on students' broad understandings of learning gain. This paper takes a phenomenographic approach to explore students' conceptions of learning gain, and…

Analyzing which skills students develop in introductory programming education is an important question for the computer science education community. These key skills and concepts have been formalized as knowledge components, which are units of knowledge that can be measured by performance on a set of tasks. While knowledge components in other…

Critical thinking is one of the core twenty-first century skills. This study designs the strategy of peer assessment based on the theory of knowledge building to improve a class of 33 undergraduate students' critical thinking skills in one semester. The context of knowledge building has four phases--idea generation, idea connection, idea…

Beekeeping in Nepal has a rich history, and training programs have emerged as transformative agents in the industry's development. This study assesses the effectiveness of quality queen production training offered by the Beekeeping Development Program in Chitwan, Nepal held in March/April 2023. The research design employed a quantitative approach…

As Internet technology evolves, distance learning emerges as a pivotal mode of education. In music education, vocal teaching faces limitations in traditional face-to-face methods. This paper explores the advantages of Internet-based remote vocal music teaching and proposes a new mode leveraging an online platform, multimedia technology, and…

The paper presents findings from a study that examined, through the lens of the Image Having layer of the Pirie-Kieren model, the qualitative characteristics of the images that different children formed when engaging with eight, novel partitive quotient tasks. The Image Having layer is the first point of abstraction within the Pirie-Kieren model.…

This study examined the impact of an educational intervention on graduate students' knowledge acquisition and understanding of corporate planning and management concepts. The intervention consisted of content-based instruction, hands-on exercises, and real-life case studies. The findings revealed that the intervention had a mixed impact on…

The adult service system does not adequately meet the needs of autistic adults, prompting families to continue their supportive roles. Siblings frequently assume these roles when parents are no longer able to do so, often without preparation or planning. We received feedback on the proposed Siblings FORWARD (Focusing on Relationships, Well-being,…

Discovery-based learning is characterized by a learning environment where students are not passive observers but actively construct new knowledge, which is expected to contribute to their cognitive development. Since it is desirable for students to reflect on their physical actions during this process and considering the positive effects of using…

This research is aimed at examining the effects of developing research competencies to enhance the current learning of student teachers at Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University. This study focuses on participants before, during, and after the implementation of the proposed model. The sample consists of 35 fourth-year students enrolled in the Bachelor…

This study investigates the development of students' problem-solving skills in technology-enhanced learning (TEL) environments, focusing on the interplay between domain knowledge, metacognitive strategies, and fading scaffolding. Through a design-based research approach, we engaged three eighth-grade classes (N=75) in a physics-based…

A new mode of knowledge production, known as the 'organic growth pattern', has emerged within the online learning environment. It exhibits several unique features, such as iterative growth, fuelled by collective intelligence, fuzzy complexity, etc. It is more valuable and adaptable to support knowledge innovation within rapidly changing fields. To…
