Murdiyah, Siti; Suratno, S.; Ardhan, Arina Firdausi Nur – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2020
Teachers often encountered difficulties or even failure in conducting the classroom due to the students' inability to understand the learning materials. Most students find it's challenging to associate their existing knowledge with the new one because of the learning setting that they generally have. Teachers do not consider it important to set…

Nair, Sindhu Shantha; Smritika, S. P.; Thomas, Kennedy Andrew – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2020
Teaching and learning practices need to be revisited to revitalize education. The mundane rote learning due to excessive standardization, pedagogical red tape and routinization often become surfeited and such experiences are discussed by students and teachers alike across the globe. The focus has to shift from content and transmission to problem,…

Mebert, Laura; Barnes, Roy; Dalley, Jacqueline; Gawarecki, Leszek; Ghazi-Nezami, Farnaz; Shafer, Gregory; Slater, Jill; Yezbick, Erin – Higher Education Pedagogies, 2020
Ample research has identified several features of a learning experience likely to enhance student learning, including collaboration, open-ended exploration, and problem-based learning in real-life scenarios. Missing is a model of how instructors might combine these elements into a single project that works flexibly across disciplines and…

Musgrove, Hannah B.; Ward, William M.; Hiatt, Leslie A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A Quantitative Analysis Lab class was developed that began with 9 weeks of student preparation for the Quant Escape Game (QEG) where the students learned the fundamentals of quantitative analysis. The preparation was followed by the four-week QEG, an active-learning, cooperative-learning, and problem-based learning experience in which the students…
