This study explores integrating inquiry-based learning (IBL) and task-based learning (TBL) in music education to enhance student engagement, creativity, and critical thinking. The study emphasizes the complementary roles of IBL and TBL in promoting active learning and real-world application by looking at their respective theoretical foundations.…

Children's inquiry is a pedagogical approach that positions young learners as active investigators who co-construct understandings through sustained exploration with materials, peers, kaiako, whanau, and local communities. It nurtures creativity and critical thinking while inviting children to engage deeply with people, places, and ideas. Grounded…

This paper explores the effective development and use of interactive simulations as a learning tool, integrating didactic and active approaches with complex laboratory and lecture content in undergraduate biochemistry and immunology courses. University science courses require students to master vast quantities of foundational knowledge that is…

Philosophical inquiry and creative arts have been developed in schools to support students' development of critical thinking skills and empathy, both linked to greater well-being. In such practices, students are often assessed on a final production and not enough on their learning process, leading them to adapt their responses to produce the…

Background/purpose: Learning chemistry is often considered challenging due to its abstract nature. To address this, the application of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) emphasizes learning through real-world projects to enhance conceptual understanding. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach enriches this process by…

The implementation of project-based learning programs that are in line with the concept of 21st century learning is very important in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 for vocational schools.

Introduction: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education ushers in a new era of teaching and learning possibilities for both educators and students. Statement of the Problem: These technologies not only offer unparalleled opportunities for personalized learning and instructional support, but also introduce challenges…

One way to preserve culture in education is through ethnoscience-based learning, especially in chemical materials linked to various fields of science in life, including social and cultural. Ethnoscience is a process of reconstructing indigenous science knowledge with scientific science. This research aims to explore trends in ethnoscience-based…

Background: Project-based collaborative learning (PBCL) is a technique that supports knowledge and skill development through complex, real-world projects. Understanding factors that influence group performance in PBCL, such as gender composition, is crucial. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of gender composition on group performance…

The present study aimed to evaluate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of an integrated project-based learning model and 4C scaffolding techniques in addressing students' misconceptions in biology. In this research and development (R&D) study, the learning model was validated by five experts. A limited product trial was conducted…

Research confirms that critical thinking plays a fundamental role in decision making and problem solving, skills that are essential to function as successful adults in a complex world. Consequently, it has been a focus of educational research for decades. Faculty meetings and teacher training sessions repeatedly run sessions on ways that teachers…

Purpose: With the evolving demands of the global and Chinese economies, cultivating critical thinking and creativity has become imperative for social and economic development. However, contemporary educational practices have not kept pace with this essential need. This study examines the effects of project-based learning and project-based flipped…

This study examines how student-led game creation can serve as a transformative pedagogical model for integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into vocational education. Drawing on a semester-long, project-based course in a Chinese vocational university, the research investigates how designing educational games shaped students'…

Since the 1950s, educational literature has explored the potential of translating art criticism into classroom practices. This eventually led to the emergence of educational criticism as a distinctive form of inquiry in the 1970s. However, despite its potential for exploring educational experiences and evaluating educational programs, educational…

This study aims to determine the basic skills that 21st century teachers should have. The study is based on the opinions of 79 teachers working in different disciplines on four different campuses in Izmir. The qualitative study used storage technique and content analysis. The opinions of the participants were evaluated to clarify the skill…
