A comparison of student performance in an introductory biology class that used a lecture-based approach (N = 15 classes; 462 students) with those that had a no-lecture approach (N = 9 classes; 238 students). All classes were taught by the principal researcher. In the no- lecture environment, shifts in student perceptions of science were…

This study describes the teaching style behaviors that differentiate between learner-centered and teacher-centered approaches to teaching. The Teaching Style Assessment Scale, which measures teaching style, was completed by 1,261 nursing faculty in Japan. Discriminant analysis and cluster analysis revealed that the distinctive characteristic…

In this article I make the case that in order to understand what is special and distinctive about education, we ought to approach education from the angle of the teacher. I show that this suggestion goes against a current trend in educational discourse, which is to put learners and their learning in the centre of attention. I argue why such a turn…

This study explores the contribution of serious game teaching technology, such as FLIGBY, to the development of entrepreneurial learning outcomes in the context of an entrepreneurship course in higher education. The sample is composed of 551 students through the construction of a randomized pretest-posttest control group. A quantitative…

The purpose of this study is to determine whether increasing the use of project-based learning (PBL) by madrasa aliyah teachers in Indonesia enhances their capacity in leadership competences. This study employed a quasi-experimental approach to investigate how project-based learning (PBL) is connected with teachers' leadership competency and…

This study aims to determine the effect of the jigsaw type collaborative learning model vs discovery learning model and learning discipline on learning outcomes, Message Design courses for students. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a 2 x 2 factorial design. The data in testing this hypothesis used Descriptive Statistical…

A new teaching format, the LecturePlus, was formulated as a lecture followed by small-group learning activities. This study assessed the effectiveness of LecturePlus in medical education. An interventional study was conducted among final-year medical students, with 74 students in the experimental group and 96 students in the control group. Each…

Students need critical thinking skills to develop their ideas in mathematics learning situations at school, and they can apply mathematical concepts in solving contextual problems. Junior high school students have unique characteristics and are highly curious about new knowledge. Therefore, it is crucial to apply the learning models that support…

Two middle school educators earned a Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching fellowship. A Fulbright Finland Foundation inter-country travel grant provided the grantees with a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate at the University of Helsinki. Within this research, they described their inquiry experiences. The research included…

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the "sorogan" method in history learning to improve students' historical understanding and historical awareness. The research method used a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design, and the sampling technique used a cluster sampling with a sample size of 96 students.…

In some European countries inquiry-based learning (IBL) has become popular in primary and secondary mathematics education, especially for scienceconnected content. On the other hand, problem-based learning (PBL) and project-based learning (PjBL) have a longer history in mathematics, science, technology, engineering (STEM) and in some other fields…

Flipped classroom in pharmacy education has been widely explored with a major focus on its effectiveness but little emphasis is given to assess the different in-class activities. Therefore, this work compares two in-class activities in an overall flipped classroom: analogical learning and team-based learning (TBL) for a pharmacy course. The…

A paradigm shift in education has led to implementing learner-centered pedagogy (LCP) which considers learners as the central element of the learning process, and it is progressively being encouraged in higher education. Examining the implementation of learner-centered pedagogy in English language teaching (ELT) context is important. While this…

The Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS) model provides a basis for integrating motivational dynamics and technological affordances into the design and implementation of instructions to maintain learner motivation and interest. Little attention has been paid to this potential in teaching the complex and often demotivating…

Recent reform efforts in postsecondary science teaching have called for shifts in instructional methods to include more evidence-based instructional practices. However, a myriad of factors play a role in whether an instructor adopts these more student-centered methods. One such factor is teaching perspective. In this study, we explored the…
