Implementing the Blended Learning model was identified as having a major influence on achieving learning objectives in the classroom. Blended learning facilitates different times and types of student learning so students can learn according to their needs. The purpose of this study is to define the blended learning effectiveness used at MTs…

This paper applies the well-known cognitive bias of loss aversion from behavioural economics to student decisions over engagement with mathematically demanding coursework. This bias is shown to predict behaviour that is consistent with mathematics anxiety in a dynamic model of student engagement. It is shown that these forces can imply…

Assessment is viewed as an important means to understand learners' performance in the learning process. A good assessment method is based on high-quality examination questions. However, generating high-quality examination questions manually by teachers is a time-consuming task, and it is not easy for students to obtain question banks. To solve…

This study examined the visual design processes and strategies used by design experts and non-design college students when composing an infographic. All participants created an infographic on a personal computer and were asked to think aloud as they performed the task. The goal was to identify differences in the strategies utilised to produce…

The development of metaknowledge about models (MKM) and metaknowledge about the modelling process (MKP) are important in pre-service science teachers (PSTs) education. MKM refers to knowledge about the model's entities and its purposes, while MKP refers to knowledge about the components and structure of the modelling process. Assessing MKM and MKP…

This paper presents a model of recurrent multinomial sequences. Though there exists a quite considerable literature on modeling autocorrelation in numerical data and sequences of categorical outcomes, there is currently no systematic method of modeling patterns of recurrence in categorical sequences. This paper develops a means of discovering…

In recent years, educators, administrators, policymakers, and measurement experts have called for assessments that support educators in making better instructional decisions. One promising approach to measurement to support instructional decision-making is diagnostic classification models (DCMs). DCMs are flexible psychometric models that…

Although the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) has been described as the signature pedagogy of educational development (a professional field focused on support for teaching and learning in higher education), there is little systematic evidence of the scale and scope of the SoTL support practices that centers for teaching and learning…

Understanding complex physiological processes is a cornerstone of medical education, and one such fundamental concept is the regulation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by Starling forces. Therefore, developing a physiologically sound educational model to demonstrate these forces can significantly enhance the learning experience for…

A practice that dates back centuries, apprenticeship is a workforce development model that has gained recent attention in the American higher education system. The researcher conducted a review of existing literature that included apprenticeships in higher education and other models of community college workforce development. Existing literature…

We explore ways in which statistics can be used to understand disease spread and support decision-making by governments. "Past performance does not guarantee future results"--we hope. We discuss and show examples from the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded COVID-Inspired Data Science Education through Epidemiology (CIDSEE) project.…

This study addressed the cognitive impacts of providing correct and incorrect machine learning (ML) outputs in support of an object detection task. The study consisted of five experiments that manipulated the accuracy and importance of mock ML outputs. In each of the experiments, participants were given the T and L task with T-shaped targets and…

Resident assistants who serve as peer leaders to other students are consistently considered crucial in creating a positive on-campus experience. Despite the demonstrated benefits these peer leaders bring to their communities and the significant monetary resources invested in them, there is a significant lack of research about their selection,…

Recent advances in the development of large language models (LLMs) have led to power innovative suites of generative AI tools that are capable of not only simulating human-like-dialogue but also composing more complex artifacts, such as social media posts, essays, and even research articles. While this abstract has been written entirely by a human…

The development of technology-based learning cannot replace the teacher's role as an educator, but the teacher who does not want to learn technology, the teacher will be replaced. During the COVID-19 pandemic and the digital era of technology, it provides opportunities for teachers to develop creative ideas in the use of online learning media.…
