This paper analyzes Comenius's theoretical and methodological proposals on how human beings acquire knowledge in relation to educational purposes. Comenius emphasizes the harmony between the microcosm and the macrocosm, as well as the doctrine of the "imago Dei," which can also be traced in his didactics. However, this concern is not…

Knowledge tracing (KT) plays a key role in adaptive learning, yet traditional recurrent neural network-based methods often struggle with sparse data and overlook relationships between knowledge points. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel knowledge tracing model (KGS-KT) that integrates knowledge graphs, graph convolutional…

Feedback is essential for learning and a key component of career-long growth. Tailoring feedback formats is important to meet educators' unique needs and stages of development. Drawing on the authors' professional practice, three categories of feedback are defined and illustrated: (1) rapid response formats; (2) moderate engagement formats; and…

Calculus is perhaps the most widely taught and researched upper-secondary/post-secondary mathematics subject the world over. The research literature is amassing greater clarity around students' understandings of calculus, yet calculus instruction tends to be at odds with this literature, maintaining a focus on procedural aspects of the subject.…

Survey organizations aiming to improve response rates in the later stages of fieldwork often attempt refusal conversions. However, reestablishing contact with units that have refused participation at prior stages of fieldwork may prove costly and time consuming. In this article, the potential of using a refusal conversion procedure in a single…

Previous research has shown that low procedural fidelity can lead to decreased effectiveness and efficiency of skill acquisition during discrete-trial instruction. Previous research has also found that procedural fidelity may be substantially lower when a supervisor is not present to observe the session. Finding a socially acceptable, effective,…

In today's competitive higher education landscape, colleges and universities must adopt innovative marketing and recruitment strategies to attract top talent. This report unveils the most effective tactics for the four-year private, four-year public, and two-year institutions based on a recent survey of 114 institutions across the US. The findings…

Traditional college advising, whereby advisors provide course assignments according to standardized placement test scores, has undergone major transformation in recent years. New placement models, like "informed self-placement" based on multiple measures of documented student achievement, are growing in popularity but remain…

Caregivers are critical partners in early intervention service delivery; therefore, it is essential to ensure that early intervention practitioners (EIPs) have sufficient training in family-centered strategies to assist families with reaching targeted family and child outcomes. The triadic strategies from the Parents Interacting With Infants…

Nowadays, physics learning in the classroom should no longer only focus on achieving academics. It must prepare students to face challenges in the future. One of the abilities that are important for learners is problem solving, and the problem-solving ability that is becoming increasingly important in today's digital era is computational thinking…
