Although numerous studies have demonstrated different ways that augmented reality (AR) can assist students to understand the learning content via contextualised visualisation, less explored is its effect on collaborative problem-solving (CPS) in computer programming. This study aims to investigate how AR affects a CPS in a programming task. We…

In our technological age, many technologies and real-world objects communicate with each other or partly merge. However, this combination of technologies and real-world objects has not yet found its way into everyday teaching practices in schools to any great extent. To investigate the possibilities of combining technologies and real-world objects…

The quasi-experimental study examines the effect of the Problem-based Learning (PBL) teaching strategy on one higher secondary school student's academic achievement under Thimphu Thromde, Bhutan. The student participants were selected through non-probability convenient sampling techniques. All students of XI Arts (N=30) and XI Commerce (N=38)…

This study explores student perceptions of learning to code by evaluating AI-generated Python code. In an experimental exercise given to students in an introductory Python course at a business university, students wrote their own solutions to a Python program and then compared their solutions with AI-generated code. They evaluated both solutions…

Providing test questions after an initial study phase is a common instructional technique. In theory, questions that require higher-level (deep) processing should be more beneficial than those that require lower-level (shallow) processing. However, empirical evidence on the matter is inconsistent. To shed light on two potential reasons for these…

This case study aimed to investigate teachers' reflections on the transfer of makerspace activities into classrooms. Primary and secondary STEM teachers participated in a Continuous Professional Development programme about makerspaces. Data were collected in the form of written reflections and semi-structured interviews after the teachers…

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been the subject of controversy since it was introduced in 1992. However, it has yet to be critically examined as an alternative paradigm for medical education, which is how it was proposed. This commentary examines EBM on the terms on which it was originally advanced and within the context that gave rise to it,…

Purpose: This study aims to increase the understanding of the starting points and presuppositions of organizational learning (OL) processes in a hospital's surgical department based on the existing theory of OL and to make visible the practical possibilities of the theory in this context. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted as a…

Media and Information Literacy (MIL) education can combat online misinformation by enhancing users' fact-checking skills. This action research study designed and implemented a problem-based learning MIL project for journalism undergraduates. The objectives are (a) to design a MIL project by using a problem-based learning methodology; (b) to…

Recognizing the ethical implications of computing, leading computing organizations advise integrating ethics within traditional technical and theoretical courses. Yet, many instructors feel unprepared or unqualified to introduce ethical concepts, fail to see their relevance to technical topics, or lack the time to cover ethics without sacrificing…

Take your students on a learning journey to discover their personal intellectual interests and develop expertise. Using a research-based approach, the lessons in Quests and Quandaries are designed to teach students how to think and behave as a scholar. Along the way, students will write SMART goals, use the Depth and Complexity Icons to conduct…

While much work has been done to promote and advance convergence education over the past decade, a distinct and common framework is beneficial to the concept of convergence education being adopted and universally recognized. Therefore, based on extensive literature review and stakeholder engagement, the IWGC developed a definition and overarching…

More than 85% of federally funded research initiatives fail to produce significant positive results (Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy, 2013). Moreover, of the less than 15% that do yield positive results, none show replicability outside of their original setting (Pogrow, 2017; Kizilcec et al., 2020). Mixed results are present in even the most…

The purpose of this study is to determine the curriculum design approach preferences of pre-service teachers who have been receiving pedagogical training. The sample of the study consists of 138 pre-services teachers who took the curriculum development course in pedagogical formation education. In the study, "Teachers' Curriculum Design…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the importance of problem posing in learning mathematics at the compulsory education level. Despite acknowledging that children have a natural disposition to pose questions, no curricular provision currently exists for the conceptualisation and operationalisation of mathematical problem posing within…
