This article discusses Deep Mapping in Geography teaching and learning by drawing on a case study of a summer school organised during the COVID-19 pandemic. Deep Mapping was used to foster deep learning among the students and teach them about a distant place and people. The exercise tasked the students to work on the creation of layered maps…

This article conceptually explores different practice theoretical vantage points in empirical studies of professional and organisational learning processes. Through an ethnographic study of a management development program in Denmark, possibilities and limitations of three different practice-theoretical approaches are considered. Firstly, learning…

This conceptual article presents a challenge to the dominant view and practice of teacher professional learning and its focus on preparing "experts in teaching" and proposes instead an emphasis on preparing "experts in learning." Drawing on contemporary knowledge on the nature of human learning and development, and in…

Background: Although it is well established that students' adaptive reactions towards errors promote learning outcomes, little is still known about the role of error feedback in promoting these reactions. Aim: Through a targeted intervention based on an online teaching unit, this study aimed at testing whether supportive error feedback promotes…

Introduction: The science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) approach is currently representing a new teaching and learning process, trying to make an interconnection between these disciplines and their transversalization with the arts to potentiate the thematic scope in students and create new pedagogical and didactic…

The solar energy sector plays a critical role in South Africa's energy transition, especially as it is one of the country's fastest-growing renewable energy sectors. It is envisaged that this growing sector will create numerous jobs in the short-, medium-, and long-term for intermediate-level skills development and will serve as an important…

Purpose: This study aims to examine how learners manage their self-directed learning (SDL) in different SDL contexts through the lens of structuration theorizing. Design/methodology/approach: In this comparative case study, data were collected primarily from in-depth semi-structured interviews with three self-directed learners aged between 15 and…

The debate about the nature and role of teacher professionalism in teacher education contexts has a long history but little research has been conducted in small island states of the Caribbean, especially focused on the understanding of prospective teachers. Therefore, this interpretive descriptive study engaged 16 prospective teachers from a…

In recent years, the Vietnamese Government has endeavoured to modernise its higher education sector. While there have been polarised claims made over teaching and learning approaches in Vietnamese higher education (VHE), exploring the students' and teachers' perceptions, in a bottom-up approach, is important. Using a mixed method approach, this…

The article discusses the organization of the educational process of railway university students in the target programs. A successful educational process will be effective if the training provided to students of the transport university is of an acceptable quality, which will lead to a high demand for a specialist. When participating in targeted…

The aim of this study is to investigate students' meaning-making of multiple visual representations of epigenetics at different levels of biological organisation, and to discern what visual aspects of the multiple visual representations might influence students' reasoning. Adopting an exploratory approach, we analysed how students made meaning of…

People often rely on the covariation between events to infer causality. However, covariation between cues and outcomes may change over time. In the associative learning literature, extinction provides a model to study updating of causal beliefs when a previously established relationship no longer holds. Prediction error theories can explain both…

The work reported in this article explores stone knapping learning processes through the study of a Late Upper Palaeolithic workshop in the Italian Alps, so as to contribute to the framework of today's debate on social learning. Social learning is an essential process for human evolution as it fosters the development of brain districts, the…

Teachers who work in school-age educare (SAEC) in Sweden possess a variety of educational qualifications. They hold a dual role working as teachers both within the compulsory program and school-age educare. This dual competence requirement means that their professional needs are unique and often different from that of their colleagues who only…

This study aims to provide recommendations for interaction design to enhance students' task interpretation, as one of the crucial aspects of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) in online learning environments. Utilizing the Engineering Design Metacognitive Questionnaire (EDMQ), open-ended questions, and in-depth interviews, this study examines the…
