Alt, Dorit; Kapshuk, Yoav – Learning Environments Research, 2022
We designed an educational activity for undergraduate students and assessed how this newly-constructed activity promoted students' argumentation skills, thereby fostering their epistemic beliefs. This argumentation-based learning activity involved digital concept mapping. A quasi-experimental design involved pretests and posttests that were…

Casanova, Diogo; Huet, Isabel; Garcia, Fabiane; Pessoa, Teresa – Learning Environments Research, 2020
The design of learning environments is being increasingly investigated, largely as a result of higher-education providers being challenged by both societal and technological developments. These providers are becoming more aware that the quality of learning environments affects students' approaches to learning and satisfaction. This paper presents…

Bautista Pérez, Guillermo; Rubio Hurtado, María José; Sánchez-Martí, Angelina – Learning Environments Research, 2022
Moving towards Smart Learning Spaces (SLS) requires reconsideration of the school environment using a multi-dimensional approach that considers pedagogical, environmental and technological aspects. However, learning spaces have not changed that much. New designs and remodelling of educational contexts rarely are evidence-based and rarely…

De Vita, Mauro; Verschaffel, Lieven; Elen, Jan – Learning Environments Research, 2018
This research explored the stimulation of mathematics understanding and learning in an Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) environment. IWB affordances appear to be best used when mathematical tasks engage students in mathematical reasoning and when all students are involved in the discussion. The intent of this project was to design and implement,…

Pramathevan, G. Sundari; Fraser, Barry J. – Learning Environments Research, 2020
Because there has been very little past research into gifted students' science learning environments, especially in Singapore, we selected from four established questionnaires six learning environment scales that are consistent with Van Tassel-Baska and Stambaugh's guidelines for gifted education. These scales were modified slightly to enhance…

Bain, John D.; McNaught, Carmel; Mills, Colleen; Lueckenhausen, Gillian – Learning Environments Research, 1998
Reports research on ways in which university academics design and incorporate computer-facilitated learning (CFL) environments into their courses. The study was based on archive material for 36 externally-funded technology-based projects. Projects were sorted into categories based on educational assumptions and practices, and use of educational…
