Students' learning environments often change during school career, due to school transitions and the introduction of educational innovations, causing discontinuity in teaching and learning. Success of students entering a new learning environment depends in part on their prior expectations of education, as these influence later perceptions.…

The research aimed to describe the development of solar electric cars as a prop in energy conversion learning using the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model and to ascertain the effectiveness of an electric car as a prop in energy conversion learning. Utilization of prop in the learning process is one way to support the…

The relationship between technology and educational processes is a complex one. At this moment, increased digitization as well as efforts to limit the use of digital tools can be observed. In view of (a) deepening our understanding of the relationship between technology and educational processes and (b) strengthening the productive educational use…

In May 2021, College Pulse asked undergraduate students about their educational experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey's last question asked students, "What does being successful mean to you?" One student's response was, "FINALLY - THIS was the question that should have been asked decades ago." This student's…

In two experiments with German secondary school students (N[subscript 1] = 43; N[subscript 2] = 41), we aimed to analyze and optimize an effective learning environment. We sought further active ingredients and crucial factors for deep processing during an example-based training intervention, which consisted mainly of video examples and…

This study explores postgraduate students' perceptions of the effectiveness of collaborative learning within computer-based environments. The research investigates the distinctions between collaborative learning and group work, examining how students' attitudes and behaviours differ, and the subsequent impact on learning outcomes. Findings reveal…

Visible learning is an imperative of the current instructional process. Visible learning is a concept that refers to the fact that students have a clear understanding of the learning objectives, learning processes, and success criteria, so they can assess their own progress (Hattie & Anderman, 2013). Through active involvement, students become…

There are various misconceptions students have when studied quadrilateral which encourages efforts needed to overcome these misconceptions. This study aims at overcoming misconceptions by designing learning trajectories in the topic of Quadrilateral applying the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). Design research carried out at one of junior…

Advances in data analytics and intelligent technologies are enabling smart learning environments that promote personalized learning. Personalized learning systems where learners engage with information in a manner tailored to their unique needs, goals, and abilities have garnered significant academic research attention. If students can achieve…

The STEAM-GAAR Field Learning Model to Enhance Grit is a learning model using STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) integrated with gamification (G), animation (A), augmented reality (AR) and space utilization (Field) to promote the factors that enhance a learner's grit. The purpose of this research is to: (1)…

This qualitative case study focused on homework as an instructional tool employed by teachers throughout primary schools. A number of stakeholders are affected by homework every day. Those impacted by homework are students and parents in particular, as the people who carry out instructional requests of teachers, but also teachers themselves, who…

Decisions about instructional methods are becoming more complex, with options ranging from problem sets to experiential service-learning projects. However, instructors not trained in instructional design may make these important decisions based on convenience, comfort, or trends. Instead, this article draws on the knowledge management literature…

As a fundamental strategy for all science curriculum, inquiry is of prime importance. In order to facilitate inquiry during science education in middle school, 5E learning model was applied in this study. Following 5E learning model during a lesson, students can engage in a topic after being served to mitigate cognitive disequilibrium or familiar…

In this article we present a didactic proposal for teaching linear algebra based on two compatible theoretical models: emergent models and mathematical modelling. This proposal begins with a problematic situation related to the creation and use of secure passwords, which leads students toward the construction of the concepts of spanning set and…

There has been an increased interest in personality traits (especially the five-factor model) in relation to education and learning over the last decade. Previous studies have shown a relation between personality traits and learning, and between personality traits and academic achievement. The latter is typically described in terms of Grade Point…
