Blockchain is a newly emerging technology in the past decade that has significantly impacted various aspects. "Scientific popularization" among IT practitioners on this technology and its use cases become a pressing need. However, constructing an effective blockchain teaching approach for this purpose is a challenging task. A training…

Most primary school students, although they grasp the scientific concepts of heat convection at the macroscopic level, commonly fail to visualize those concepts. Therefore, our research aims to enact a constructivist teaching sequence (CTS) to restructure students' visualization changes, ultimately enabling them to synergize macroscopic and…

Purpose: Drawing on current theoretical perspectives on teaching methods (i.e., constructivism, cognitivism, or behaviorism), the present research developed a scale to assess students' perceptions of teaching methods in physical education. Method: Four studies were conducted to design and analyze the psychometric properties of this scale: (a) to…

The effective teaching and learning of mathematics through mathematical modeling and connecting mathematics to the real world has gained rapid growth at various educational levels all over the world. The growth in modeling practices in the United States of America (US) and the international community is the result of the development and…

The educational technology designer should know about the learning theories to analyze the needs and design the contents in terms of the target that aimed to reach from learning operations. Educational technology is known as a process that includes many factors, which will provide a good simulation for the students. This research study used a…

The aim of this study was to compare the 5E learning model with traditional learning methods in terms of their effect on students' conceptual understanding of water subtopics. The participants of the study were grade 8 students of 2021 academic year. While 27 of them were randomly assigned to the experimental group, the other 27 were assigned to…

Whilst Productive Failure (Kapur, "Cognition and Instruction," 26:379-424, 2008, "Instructional Science," 38:523-550, 2010; Kapur & Bielaczyc, "Journal of the Learning Sciences" 21:45-83, 2012) has been shown to be efficacious in deepening students' learning of mathematics in Singapore classrooms, an action…

The Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025 has increased emphasis on learning using projects and group work to support 21st century education goals in Malaysian secondary schools. In response to that, the current lower secondary science textbooks following the Integrated Curriculum for Secondary School (KSSM) have been revamped to include a…

Science education theory and reform call on elementary educators to provide authentic science learning experiences in a constructivist learning environment. The natural surroundings of the schoolyard offer an often undeveloped and/or undiscovered pedagogical tool that can help teachers meet these reform-based goals in science teaching. There is…

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is an experiential research methodology that aims to rigorously investigate personal meaning and lived experience. Informed by phenomenological philosophy, hermeneutics and idiography, IPA allows researchers to conduct a detailed exploration of how participants construct meaning from their personal…

A growing number of children with intellectual disabilities attend inclusive schools in Indonesia. Previous research has suggested that teachers' type of school and experience influences their beliefs about inclusive education. This research collected questionnaire data from 267 Indonesian teachers and compared the responses from those working in…

Business schools could be more effective in teaching students how to create new business models. Skills for "de novo" business model generation and exploration are now commonly taught in undergraduate business programs. Innovation, however, is often presented as a theoretical topic leaving the fuzzy front-end of this process to the…

Historically, storytelling has been a way to pass knowledge between generations and to facilitate an understanding of beliefs. The aim of this current research was to explore the value of storytelling in the higher education classroom, to address the question "how can sharing stories assist students in constructing new knowledge in the…

Purpose: Informed by the constructivist learning theory, the purpose of this study was to determine the impact of three continuing professional development (CPD) approaches on student learning in a healthful living physical education curriculum. Methods: Physical education teachers (n = 19) received one of the following CPD trainings: (1)…

As an emerging learning method, mobile technologies allow students to gain knowledge via both formal and informal learning. In spite of the advantages mobile technologies bring to education, its adoption for learning purposes has not been encouraging. Existing research on mobile learning acceptance has been mainly focused on technological and use…
