Lori Czerwionka; Siddhant S. Joshi; Gabriel O. Rios-Rojas; Kirsten A. Davis – Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Background: Engineering problems are open-ended and complex, involving technical and social aspects, yet engineering education focuses on technical training and closed-ended problems. To prepare engineering students, curricula should foster sociotechnical thinking--the ability to consider the interplay of technical and social factors during…

Shu-Chen Cheng; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Chih-Hung Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Developing students' scientific literacy is the most important educational goal and challenge of the 21st century. Many studies have confirmed that flipped learning has significantly impacted learning science. Researchers indicate that the lack of an appropriate learning guidance strategy in the pre-class stage for flipped learning will influence…

Cam, Emre; Kiyici, Mubin – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2022
Because of their traditional programming structures that have user-hostile interfaces and complicated syntax, programming languages education doesn't catch students' attention and most of them find programming difficult and consider it as a job that only professionals can do. In order to minimalize the difficulty and drawback and help students…

Chumak, Mykhailo; Nekrasov, Serhii; Hrychanyk, Nataliia; Prylypko, Viktoriia; Mykhalchuk, Vasyl – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2022
Making a brighter presentation and improving assimilation of educational material with the help of the case method allows activating the mental, exploratory and creative abilities of students to optimize the process of assimilation of information. The combination of this method with others allows making future specialists to independently find…

Monica L. De Tuya – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The aims of university System Dynamics (SD) programs include the mastery of systems thinking skills, modeling skills, and/or application to solving real-world, dynamic, complex problems. Existing research has articulated learning sequences of what learners should know and be able to do, and when. It is called the competence development framework…

Daniele Maccio`; Massimo Ottonelli; Marina Alloisio – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Redox reactions and their balancing are one of the basic chemistry subjects in which students may experience remarkable learning difficulties at the beginning of their university career. This topic represents an evolution of stoichiometry concepts related to the balancing of chemical reactions and can be taught with different approaches as a…

Kylie S. Aikey – Journal of Legal Studies Education, 2024
This teaching note illustrates how escape rooms can be utilized as a tool to teach or review business law concepts, encourage student collaboration, and provide an opportunity for gameplay. Escape rooms can be adapted to any topic, made asynchronous, and scaled up to accommodate larger groups. This note also describes the value of incorporating…

Obaya-Valdivia, Adolfo Eduardo; Osorio, Carlos Montaño; Rodríguez, Yolanda Marina Vargas – Online Submission, 2022
This paper seeks to evaluate learning based on the competency approach, taking a didactic experience to evaluate a possible improvement in the ability to solve problems and for autonomous learning in general. For the didactic development, the theme "gases" was taken, which is generally enunciated: Corpuscular kinetic theory of matter;…

Learning loss due to online learning has caused students to experience a decrease in their ability to solve mathematical problems. One of the declines in students' mathematical problem-solving skills occurred in the statistics course. Statistics as a branch of mathematics has an important role in training students' skills in processing and…

Schalk, Lennart; Roelle, Julian; Saalbach, Henrik; Berthold, Kirsten; Stern, Elsbeth; Renkl, Alexander – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Worked examples support learning. However, if they introduce easy-to-confuse concepts or principles, specific ways of providing worked examples may influence their effectiveness. Multiple worked examples can be introduced blocked (i.e., several for the same principle) or interleaved (i.e., switching between principles), and can be sequentially or…

Sinha, Tanmay; Kapur, Manu; West, Robert; Catasta, Michele; Hauswirth, Matthias; Trninic, Dragan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Unscaffolded problem-solving before receiving instruction can give students opportunities to entertain their exploratory hypotheses at the expense of experiencing initial failures. Prior literature has argued for the efficacy of such preparatory activities in preparing students to learn from instruction. Despite growing understanding of the…

Pee, L. G. – Studies in Higher Education, 2020
Ill-structured problem solving is widely believed to promote learning in higher education but its multiplicity (i.e. multiple solutions and evaluation criteria) is often seen as a challenge to manage. This study shows that the multiplicity can be managed as well as leveraged to enhance learning effectiveness through online co-creation. Three…
