This book provides research-based approaches and classroom strategies for frontline teachers and practitioners, to aid them in formulating actionable approaches to develop student assessment literacy (SAL) in school and higher education sectors. This book helps readers to: (1) Understand the concept of SAL and its significant role in assisting…

There is a wide variety of preservation techniques available, and anatomy departments can select an embalming method(s) that best suits their course outcomes. Thiel embalming is becoming popular due to the life-like color and flexibility it provides tissue. This study examined student-perceived impact of learning anatomy by dissecting…

In order to make informed instructional decisions, teachers need psychological knowledge about relational categories. We conducted two 2 x 2 experiments to examine effective designs for learning relational categories in the context of teacher education. In both experiments, a blocked compared to an interleaved example format was more beneficial…

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely acclaimed as an innovative pedagogical approach that nurtures students' problem-solving abilities, self-directed learning skills, and collaborative competencies. This systematic review examines the structure and implementation strategies of PBL courses in legal education. Through a comprehensive…

This article addresses the transformative potential of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize human potential by making education more efficient and effective. We describe a new teaching method called "Dynamic Personalized Learning." In this method, AI dynamically provides feedback and adjusts the level and pace of…

Technology and engineering education (TEE) corresponds to technical craft in Finnish primary and secondary school craft subject. However, there have not been in the specific descriptions of the technology and engineering content in the subject in the national core curricula for basic education since 1994. The research task here was to outline what…

This study provides the educational experience of an architectural design studio in a virtual environment. It aims to illuminate the complications of planning and implementing a VDS and find the balance between flexibility and structure in VDS design. Action research was used due to its ability to document the process and reflect on the methods…

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) presents challenges and opportunities for higher education. The challenge is to incorporate the benefits of AI while minimizing its potential for misuse and undermining of learning. The opportunity is that AI allows instructors to assess learning authentically by fostering creative, engaging, realistic,…

Collaborative learning in high-fidelity simulators is an important part of how master mariner students are preparing for their future career at sea by becoming part of a ship's bridge team. This study aims to inform the design of multimodal learning analytics to be used for providing automated feedback to master mariner students engaged in…

This study aims to develop a comprehensive competency framework for artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, delineating essential competencies and sub-competencies. This framework and its potential variations, tailored to different learner groups (by educational level and discipline), can serve as a crucial reference for designing and implementing…

The aim of this study is to find out what the effects of facilitated learning interventions in a simulation game (SG) are and what type of SG renders which type of learning. Therefore, we research the effects of facilitator interventions on learning in an analogue open SG (in which there are as few rules as possible) and an analogue rule based SG…

Clear learning goals are an integral part of instructional clarity and seen as a factor influencing students' motivation and learning processes. However, goal communication and the types of goals teachers set are rarely addressed in classroom studies. To further the understanding of these aspects, the purpose of this study was to investigate…
