Kim, Ji-Yun; Seo, Jae Seon; Kim, Kwihoon – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Attaining equitable education for all is one of the sustainable development goals. Not only the gap of education between urban and rural students but also the gap of access to information and communications technology also exists. Thus, an effort to resolve this gap is necessary. This study combines novel engineering, which is the fusion of…

Zeid, Abe – Athens Journal of Education, 2020
Teaching STEM concepts to today's high school students has been challenging. Span of attention is short. Students are glued to their electronic devices. They cannot appreciate the abstract method of teaching, meaning covering concepts followed by solving problems from a textbook. Research has shown that students become excited and motivated to…

Chen, Ching-Huei; Hung, Hsiu-Ting; Yeh, Hui-Chin – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Learning a foreign language requires interaction with language input while involved in a task. Given that problem-based learning (PBL) offers hands-on application in realistic contexts, and that virtual reality (VR) enables learners to interact with multiple modalities of information, this study examines how the integration of VR technology into…

James Long; Evan Dragich; Ann Saterbak – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2022
Recent advances in teaching, many of which incorporate elements of active learning, seek to provide students with learning experiences indicative of real-world problem solving. Problem-based learning (PBL) is one form of active learning that challenges students to address open-ended problems. In this work, we evaluate the efficacy of PBL in…

Bartolomé, Elena; Florensa, Ignasi; Bosch, Marianna; Gascón, Josep – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Study and research path (SRP) is an inquiry-based teaching format grounded in the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic. One of the specific characteristics of SRP is its task-design basis, which includes explicitly questioning the knowledge at stake in study processes. In this work, we propose general guidelines for the design of SRPs for…

Pulgar, Javier; Candia, Cristian; Leonardi, Paul M. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
For several decades, scholars have studied the role of cooperation and its outcomes in educational contexts. Yet we lack a complete understanding of how different instructional strategies impact the relationship between cooperation and learning. In this paper we present results from a field experiment with 82 first-year students in an introductory…

Liso, Vincenzo – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2020
The organization of knowledge influences how effectively students learn, so that if the information is well structured and the knowledge acquisition process is carried out in a systemic way, one can more effectively retrieve pieces of knowledge. To tackle this problem a common document format used in academia, IMRaD (Introduction, Method, Results,…
