This study examines the key concepts of elements-and-principles art instruction, as defined in the publications by "Vorkurs" (preliminary course) instructors at the Bauhaus. Elements-and-principles instruction was for decades central to formalist art training, and continues to play a role, albeit limited, today. Preceding accounts of the…

This article deals with serious game design methods. More specifically, it focuses on the following question: is there any universal series of steps to design a serious game?

Based on Lipman's Philosophy for Children, Hashim developed the Hikmah model. This model contributes to cognitive, social, and affective…

The common purpose of models is to provide simplified representations of other phenomena. Depending on type, they are suitable for communication, documentation, prognostication, problem solving, and more. Various types of models, such as drawings, mock-ups, flow charts, and mathematical formulae, are important tools in engineering work. An…

In response to the evolving landscape of language education, the "Dynamic Language Learning Framework" is conceived as a progressive pedagogical approach informed by key principles from notable works in the field. Inspired by the communicative language teaching philosophy proposed by Hymes (1971) and expanded upon by Canale and Swain…

ChatGPT, as an example of generative artificial intelligence, possesses high-level conversational and problem-solving capabilities supported by powerful computational models and big data.
