Informed by Kolb's experiential learning theory and Baxter Magolda's holistic theory of student development, this qualitative study explores the experiences of graduate students in a supervised internship. From an analysis of written assignments completed during the internship experience, our findings reveal abundant meaning-making opportunities…

In this meta-analysis, we examined the effects on students' motivation of student-centered, problem-driven learning methods compared to teacher-centered/lecture-based learning. Specifically, we considered problem-based (PBL), project-based (PjBL), and case-based learning (CBL). We viewed motivation as a multifaceted construct consisting of…

An integrated and projected-based laboratory course was described, integrating interconnected knowledge points and biochemistry and molecular biology techniques on a research project-based system. The program, which served as an essential extension of theoretical courses to practice, was conducted with a sophomore of basic medical science who had…

Teachers are gatekeepers of technology integration in the classroom. Pre-service teachers' attitudes, confidence, and competence in exploring emerging technologies play a critical role in teachers' adoption of technology in teaching. This study examined the effects of a gamified technology course on pre-service teachers' confidence, intention, and…

Non-formal learning settings like out-of-school labs provide students with insights into authentic learning situations. For example, in physics, students are engaged in experimenting as an authentic method. However, increasing the authenticity in experimentation can lead to overwhelming demands and hinder concept development and does not even need…

Collaboration skills are closely related to cognitive learning outcomes. Learning made by collaborating can improve students' understanding of the material, so that student learning outcomes are maximized. Cognitive learning outcomes of students in class X-I SMA Negeri 1 Turen on Virus material show low results with an average score of 56 and…

We investigated the impact that teachers' participation in a short compulsory course on active learning had on their teaching practice. The course was offered at all departments of a STEM faculty with a total of 516 participants. Evaluations showed that teachers especially appreciated collegial discussions and examples of teaching practices in the…

Spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) offers teachers an accessible means to use virtual reality. However, research into the effects of learning materials in teacher-developed SVVR activities on student learning remains limited. This study recruited 33 elementary school teachers and the 841 students in their classes. This study classified…

Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is known to develop advanced cognitive skills, particularly in complex subjects like geography. However, integrating Spherical Video-Based Virtual Reality (SVVR) with IBL remains underexplored. This study proposed an SVVR-based IBL approach to enhance geography education for high school students in Thailand. A…

Purpose: Creating suitable learning conditions in university classrooms continues to be a topical issue in higher education. The above means that a continued search for innovative teaching and learning strategies in universities remains a priority issue. The study therefore investigated conditions that facilitate the effective implementation of…

What is the impact of active learning techniques on student excitement, interest, and self-efficacy in a course? An American Foreign Policy and National Security course was designed around the utilization of a number of active learning techniques, including simulations, a debate, and counterfactual analysis. Students in the course were surveyed…

University students of all disciplines are expected to display critical thinking. Critical thinking may, however, be impeded by psychological and sociological factors such as: belief and confirmation biases, framing, social pressure to conform and poor assessment of probability and risk. These factors are rarely, if ever, thoroughly examined in…

Advancements in internet technology have fundamentally changed how companies conduct their business activities, leading us into a business analytics (BA) era. In this article, the authors aim to investigate factors that could shape students' career choice considerations toward BA jobs after they have been exposed to BA course content in an…

Purpose: The ultimate objective of this study is to compare the impact of face-to-face and online flipped learning on students' academic achievements and their perspectives on learning and teaching, offering valuable insights to the field. Design/methodology/approach: The study utilized a quasi-experimental research method that involves pre-test…

Low levels of students' critical reasoning and environmental literacy can negatively influence their attitudes toward environmental issues in their surroundings. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a Socio-Scientific Issue (SSI)-based electronic module on the topic of environmental change to enhance critical reasoning and…
