There is a widespread agenda of improving teaching and learning in higher education by engaging students with educational technology. Based on a large-scale literature review, the article presents 61 specific, research-based recommendations for realising the engagement potential of eight types of educational technologies in higher education. These…

This research analyzed the effect of learning management on learning activities both directly and through moderating learning readiness variables. This research was an ex-post facto type of quantitative research carried out at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. The research variables consist of exogenous variables, namely learning management,…

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…

To enhance the student experience and improve student outcomes -- continuation, attainment, and employment -- higher education providers often implement curriculum changes and evaluate their effectiveness. But as interventions often only work directly with staff, rather than students, impact evaluation is challenging. This paper explores the…

The COVID-19 pandemic caused nearly ubiquitous emergency remote teaching in both secondary and post-secondary education. While there has been a plethora of work examining how instructors adjusted classes to incorporate active learning during emergency remote teaching, there has only been minimal work examining how such emergency remote teaching…

Argumentation skills are important for students to analyze and evaluate critical information, especially in complex science issues. Socio-Scientific Real-world Inquiry [SSRI] learning helps students develop deep scientific understanding and the ability to build evidence-based arguments in a real context. This study aimed to examine the…

Purpose: Hands-on training in tissue engineering is often associated with specialized labs and expensive equipment, such as CO[subscript 2] incubators. To minimize the use of costly commercial incubators and provide a more vivid engineering experience in a biology lab, we present a hands-on project that introduces medium to large groups of…

Learning materials are tools necessary for carrying out educational activities. Preliminary studies showed that there is still a lack of development in learning materials. This study evaluated the development of an integrated project-based learning model based on CRT to enhance literacy skills, which has been tested for validity and effectiveness.…

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid, reliable, and brief measure of active learning in college classrooms that is cheap and easy to complete and yields results that faculty can easily use to inform their development as instructors. Initial construct and face validity was achieved by modifying existing instruments and creating a draft…

This study proposes a new learning strategy for teaching biblical texts using visual design strategies. Traditionally, biblical texts have been taught using a teacher-centered transmission approach, which does not engage digital students, who are accustomed to visually accessing information. The proposed learning strategy introduces an…

This study aimed to describe students' ability to arrange proof of abstract algebra problems (Subgroups) after receiving Information Technology (IT)-assisted scaffolding materials. To achieve this objective, we conducted exploratory qualitative research with students of Mathematics Education, Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban, participating in the…

The core purpose of integrating inquiry-based learning strategies into STEM activities is to create a challenging learning environment that stimulates students' active learning, thereby effectively enhancing their interest in learning, thinking skills, and practical application abilities. To achieve these goals, developing more technology-assisted…

Intergenerational (IG) practices foster understanding among diverse age groups, enhancing active ageing and social cohesion. Universities, as key stakeholders in lifelong learning, are pivotal in IG initiatives. Hence, this study investigates IG practices, rooted in project-based learning and co-management, in an international collaboration of…

Institutional approaches to co-creation are shifting away from directive methods to more active and participatory design approaches. New tools for problem solving such as design thinking are becoming increasingly popular in universities. Leveraged incorrectly, they often risk excluding parts of the community. Effective implementation requires more…

Previous research has shown that in prehigher education stages, inquiry-based teaching is not sufficient for forming a mature understanding of the nature of science (NOS). However, there is relatively little research conducted on colleges. Inquiry-based teaching should not overlook cognitive frameworks, as students' limited scientific reasoning…
