This paper is the fourth in a series exploring the issue of curriculum coherence in the development and implementation of the three iterations of Maori-medium Technology curriculum from the 1990s to the present. For Indigenous schools, curriculum coherence is not just a structural design issue but also involves the place of their Indigenous…

Contribution: This article describes efforts to improve the teaching and learning process for the digital system design course using active learning (AL) approaches in the classroom and a parallel hands-on project designed based on constructive alignment (CA). Background: The digital systems design course is an important part of Undergraduate…

Technology has become commonplace in K-12 classrooms with students actively using digital technology to support learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is empirical support that implementing the ISTE Standards for Students can result in learning gains. A scoping review methodology was used to map extant literature to…

Protocol-guided teaching, a method of classroom instruction reform started by Donglu Middle School in Nanjing of China has developed into a student-centered teaching model in the context of the deepening reform of Chinese basic education. In this model, the teacher plays an essential guiding role, and the main objective is the development of the…

The purpose of this mixed-methods case study was to understand how current and former early childhood and elementary school teachers and administrators at a multiple intelligence (MI) school in St. Louis, Missouri, viewed the feasibility and impact of applying MI theory in lesson planning and their perceptions of the assistance of educational…

Molecular case studies (MCSs) are open educational resources that use a storytelling approach to engage students in biomolecular structure-function explorations, at the interface of biology and chemistry. Although MCSs are developed for a particular target audience with specific learning goals, they are suitable for implementation in multiple…

Multimedia has been a strategy in teaching processes, especially within the learning management system (LMS). However, multimedia tools have not delivered satisfaction towards the learning process. In addition, the lack of engagement within the LMS has been a real problem for e-learning. Therefore, this study aims to identify what the challenges…

Although digital personalized learning (DPL) is assumed to be beneficial for the student as well as the teacher, the implementation process of DPL tools can be challenging. Therefore, the aim of our study is to scrutinize teachers' perceptions towards the implementation of DPL in the classroom. A total of 370 teachers from primary and secondary…

This study examines and explores the challenges, issues, and problems with their solutions regarding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education along with the awareness enjoyed by science teachers. The selection of papers for this study was done through systematic literature review techniques. The 11 themes were generated…

An increased reliance on nanotechnology and recent developments in materials fabrication coincide with a greater prevalence of 3D printers in high schools. We developed this lesson to foster an exploration of interdisciplinary fields and to increase access to recent advances in materials chemistry through two different learning modules. The lab…

Information technology enhances the nature of mathematics as an empirical discipline, leading to an approach called "experimental mathematics" (EM). It fosters the use of technology-based interactive resources (IRs) in mathematics education, giving mathematics an experimental dimension and reflecting a tension between the…

If there was a bright side to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly related to education, it was the massive and rapid introduction of educational technologies to scaffold teaching and learning. Most notably, within teacher education, this included extended reality (XR) technologies to supplement or replace face-to-face field experiences. With the…

Computer science (CS) education has experienced rapid growth over the past decade with student demand leading to new courses or course pathways being offered in K-12 educational settings. Student demand has been matched by parent/community and technology industry support. Educators have quickly responded to the demand by expanding course…

The study's purpose is to reveal the implementer's opinions toward the use of the Station Rotation Model (SRM) of blended learning, in terms of features, challenges and effectiveness of the model including further implementation and suggestions for the station rotation model. A mixed research approach was conducted using qualitative data analysed…
