There is a paucity of empirical research on teaching mixed methods. To fill this gap in literature, this convergent mixed methods study explores the effectiveness of using active learning approaches in teaching a mixed methods course. The qualitative data, including 10 individual interviews, 29 students' reflections, and 26 teaching evaluation…

Anatomy plays a key role in veterinary training, and alternatives to traditional teaching methods, such as game-based learning and escape rooms, are emerging as innovative and effective methods. However, the effectiveness of these approaches, particularly in areas such as veterinary anatomy, remains under-researched. The aim of this study was to…

This study aimed to contribute to the substantial body of research on critical thinking (CT) interventions by determining whether the effectiveness of two CT interventions (generic and infusion) varied according to students' baseline CT levels. Using a quasi-experimental design, we collected data from two universities, with 167 participants from…

In recent years, there has been a rise in recognition of the need for computing education to bridge the gap between academia and industry. In addition, educational researchers are also interested in increasing student engagement by grounding learning experiences in real-life concerns, community issues, or personal interests. Unfortunately,…

It is essential for modern medical students to continuously enhance their clinical thinking abilities. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the combined World Café discussion and case-based learning (CBL) approach within the clinical thinking training course. The clinical thinking training course incorporated the combined World Café…

Contribution: This article presents a systematic literature review of research concerning cyber security education for children (under 18s) on a global scale. Background: While the Internet brings great convenience to children, it can potentially cause harms due to lack of knowledge about online risks. Research Questions: 1. What cyber security…

The Colleague AI platform introduces a groundbreaking Rubric Generation function designed to streamline how educators create and use rubrics for instructional and assessment purposes. This feature uses artificial intelligence (AI) to produce standards-based rubrics tailored to course content for formative and summative evaluations. By automating…

This study investigated the effect of using socioscientific issues (SSI)-based learning modules in enhancing physics knowledge. Three SSI-based learning modules were developed in this study and obtained a "Very Satisfactory" rating after the expert's evaluation, electromagnetic (EM) waves module (M = 3.82, standard deviation [SD] =…

Although research methodology is a staple and essential requirement of many undergraduate political science programmes worldwide, there are still many intense and ongoing debates among teachers and students on the series of effective learning and teaching approaches and strategies for this subject matter that involve theoretical understanding,…

Creativity in biology education is a crucial aspect that enhances students' understanding of the subject. It consists of several indicators (fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration), which can also be used as measuring tools for creativity. This study aimed to determine the influence of the Problem-Oriented Project-Based Learning…

Business is the largest undergraduate major in the United States and continues to grow (National Center for Education Statistics, 2020). As a result, the mandate for universities to produce graduates who can operate effectively in globalized societies is clear and critical for future U.S. success (Bok, 2015; de Wit & Urias, 2012; Deardorff…

Research, primarily from pre-service teachers' perspectives, has found that teacher education programmes are not providing adequate preparation for constructivist pedagogy using information technology. This subject is pronounced in Ghana's teacher education programmes, where local research that investigates knowledge patterns in technology…

We perform a large-scale randomized controlled trial to evaluate the potential of machine learning-based instruction sequencing to improve memorization while allowing the learners the freedom to choose their review times. After controlling for the length and frequency of study, we find that learners for whom a machine learning algorithm determines…

Digital storytelling is a pedagogical strategy that relies on constructing digital artefacts, such as videos, to develop skills like critical thinking. However, clear actions that students need to engage in to develop these skills are often lacking. Therefore, in this qualitative study, we aimed to explore pre-service teachers' perceptions of the…

Emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on pedagogical challenges that require the immediate attention of teacher education programs. This paper focuses on teacher candidates' preparation to teach online in a STEM curriculum and pedagogy course in a teacher education program at a Canadian university. The authors…
