Sancar-Tokmak, Hatice; Dogusoy, Berrin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This qualitative case study aimed to explore how novice instructional designers solved a real-world problem by proposing an instructional design model in Second Life. Twenty-one novice instructional designers who enrolled in a Distance Education course were tasked with proposing an instructional design model to solve the high drop-out rate problem…

Bostic, Jonathan D.; Clark, Quintana M.; Vo, Tina; Esters, Levon T.; Knoblach, Neil A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
Agricultural life science topics include but are not limited to (1) agriculture and the environment, (2) culture, society, and economy, and (3) energy. These topics have potential to come up during mathematics and science instruction and offer learning opportunities. One way for agricultural life science topics to be part of such instruction is…

Weng, Xiaojing; Ng, Oi-Lam; Cui, Zhihao; Leung, Suzannie – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Creativity, one of the cornerstones of students' 21st-century skills, is regarded as an important learning outcome of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education. Meanwhile, problem-based digital making (DM), which combines the child-friendly programming activities of DM with problem-solving elements, is an emerging…

Natarajan, Sukumar; McCullen, Nick; Lo, Steve; Coley, David; Arja, Omaimah Ali; Moran, Francis – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Engineering is a practical discipline, dedicated to the solution of problems through the sound application of principles derived from the natural sciences and mathematics. Engineering pedagogy has therefore to balance the need for learners to gain a deep understanding of the theoretical basis of the problem domain whilst grasping its practical…

José Luis Lupiáñez; Daniela Olivares; Isidoro Segovia – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
The decisions that teachers make in transforming the curriculum into specific lesson plans determine the real enactment or otherwise of curricular ideals. These decisions are shaped by the resources available and by each teacher's goals and orientations. This exploratory study employs Schoenfeld's decision-making model to examine how resources,…

Kim, Ji-Yun; Seo, Jae Seon; Kim, Kwihoon – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Attaining equitable education for all is one of the sustainable development goals. Not only the gap of education between urban and rural students but also the gap of access to information and communications technology also exists. Thus, an effort to resolve this gap is necessary. This study combines novel engineering, which is the fusion of…

Chung, Cheng-Yu; Awad, Nayif; Hsiao, I-Han – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Although numerous studies have demonstrated different ways that augmented reality (AR) can assist students to understand the learning content via contextualised visualisation, less explored is its effect on collaborative problem-solving (CPS) in computer programming. This study aims to investigate how AR affects a CPS in a programming task. We…

van Harsel, Milou; Hoogerheide, Vincent; Janssen, Eva; Verkoeijen, Peter; van Gog, Tamara – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Presenting novices with examples and problems is an effective and efficient way to acquire new problem-solving skills. Nowadays, examples and problems are increasingly presented in computer-based learning environments, in which learners often have to self-regulate their learning (i.e., choose what type of task to work on and when). Yet, it is…

Sbaraglia, Marco; Lodi, Michael; Martini, Simone – Informatics in Education, 2021
Introductory programming courses (CS1) are difficult for novices. Inspired by "Problem solving followed by instruction" and "Productive Failure" approaches, we define an original "necessity-driven" learning design. Students are put in an apparently well-known situation, but this time they miss an essential ingredient…

Koehler, Adrie A.; Ertmer, Peggy A.; Newby, Timothy J. – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2021
Case-based instruction (CBI) provides a way to vicariously engage preservice teachers in their future teaching realities. However, little research has considered how different discussion facilitation strategies relate to the development of preservice teachers' instructional design (ID) skills. We used an embedded mixed methods case study research…

Tawfik, Andrew A.; Gish-Lieberman, Jaclyn J.; Gatewood, Jessica; Arrington, T. Logan – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2021
Teachers adapt their instructional strategies over time based on a variety of contextual constraints. In response to these challenges, teachers often have to make changes to their PBL approaches. While the literature has documented generally positive results of initial PBL implementations, less is known about the degree to which teachers adapt…

Koumara, Anna; Plakitsi, Katerina; Lederman, Norman – Science Teacher, 2022
How do scientists make inferences for something they cannot directly observe? The Black Box approach seems ideal to help students understand how scientists work. Black Boxes are sealed units; their interior is not accessible. The effort to determine their possible content (internal structure) demands successive modifications in hypothesis,…

Schwarts, Gil; Stevens, Irma E.; Herbst, Patricio; Brown, Amanda – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper we examine how facilitators' prior experiences as mathematics teachers frame their work when facilitating a practice-based professional development (PD) for the first time. We focus on the experiences of a novice facilitator of StoryCircles, a professional learning process in which teachers collectively script and visualize a…

Singh, Nikhilesh; Gupta, Richa; Mahalakshmi, V. N. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2018
To introduce active learning session for a large group of 250 students, we combined the strengths of problem-based learning and team-based learning to promote a structured active learning strategy with less faculty involvement. For the implementation of this strategy, a case on anemia was selected based on the module already covered in classes.…

Erickson, H. Lynn; Lanning, Lois A.; French, Rachel – Corwin, 2017
Knowing the facts is not enough. If we want students to develop intellectually, creatively problem-solve, and grapple with complexity, the key is in "conceptual understanding." A Concept-Based curriculum recaptures students' innate curiosity about the world and provides the thrilling feeling of engaging one's mind. This updated edition…
