Academic librarians invest significant time and effort in developing and maintaining research guides, yet the extent to which these tools effectively support college students' information literacy development remains uncertain. This scoping review aimed to comprehensively examine the existing literature on the effectiveness of academic library…

Although interteaching has been shown to improve students' understanding of course material in a multitude of classroom studies, only one laboratory study investigating it has been published. In that study, interteaching led to significantly higher scores on a quiz compared to other teaching methods. The goal of the present study was to add to the…

Many professional health programs have transitioned from regional anatomy courses to integrated curricula, in which anatomy is taught longitudinally within a series of systems-based courses.

In a flipped classroom model, learning of basic content is shifted before class while in-class time is used for concept application. Empirical and controlled research studies are lacking on the best strategies to provide the necessary pre-class content instruction. In this study, we tested three methods of pre-class content learning--interactive…

The teaching and learning of quantum physics has recently become a topic of increasing interest in physics education research. In particular, the study of two-state systems is gaining importance as a means of teaching quantum physics at various educational levels. Meanwhile, a number of approaches have been developed that are also suitable for…

This study examined the effectiveness of a new empathy-oriented prototyping toolkit that was carefully developed to aid empathy gaining in students who find it difficult to express their ideas using only traditional paper-based prototyping materials.

The Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities (ABLA) is a tool that is used to assess the learning ability of individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and children with autism. The ABLA was recently revised and is now referred to as the ABLA-Revised (ABLA-R). A self-instructional manual was prepared to teach individuals how to administer the…

The German National Education Standards (NES) for biology were introduced in 2005. The content part of the NES emphasizes fostering conceptual knowledge. However, there are hardly any indications of what such an instructional implementation could look like. We introduce a theoretical framework of an instructional approach to foster students'…
