The use of artificial intelligence is growing, but it's unclear how much it is expanding human knowledge. Peter W. Cookson Jr. discusses the potential of AI use for learning. He suggests that humans learn by making connections in ways that AI cannot replicate. The kinds of experiences that promote these connections require students to experiment…

The Hybrid Project-Based Learning Model on Metaverse to Enhance Collaboration. The concept is based on the integration of hybrid learning, project-based learning, and metaverse. This research has the objective: (1) To study and synthesize the conceptual framework of the hybrid project-based learning model on metaverse to enhance collaboration. (2)…

This paper investigates the effects of project-based teaching on students' learning. The aim of this study is to examine if incorporating mini projects in mathematics teaching can enhance students' understanding of mathematics and stimulate students' interest in mathematics. To achieve the research purpose, three pairs (or six sets) of data were…

Contribution: This article presents an engineering outreach activity that aims to teach K-12 students how to develop a tendon-based soft robotic finger. The primary objectives of this STEM activity are to introduce students to the fundamentals of soft robotics, its interdisciplinary nature, and to offer them a hands-on and engaging learning…

This study aims to examine the potential differences between teacher evaluations and artificial intelligence (AI) tool-based assessment systems in university examinations. The research has evaluated a wide spectrum of exams including numerical and verbal course exams, exams with different assessment styles (project, test exam, traditional exam),…

Amid the shift to virtual teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, educators across disciplines were faced with developing new teaching strategies for active learning and significant learning experiences. This paper discusses findings from a case study of integrating ArcGIS Online and StoryMaps for assignments and semester projects in…

The purpose of this single case study was to determine how a project-based learning approach to instructional design supported education doctorate students' acquisition of new knowledge and practical application of skills in their current and future professions. Participants included 58 students in an online EdD instructional design course. We…

Educators are tasked with preparing students for college and beyond (Gómez-Pablos et al., 2017). Project-based learning can help achieve this goal (Gómez -Pablos et al., 2017). PBL engages students in real-world problem-solving activities that allow them to take ownership of their own learning and create real products (Zafirov, 2013). The problem…

Initial teacher education provide learning opportunities that allow future teachers to develop digital skills and self- and co-regulation learning (SCRL). However, there is need for research on how to prepare students teachers to use Information and Communication Technologies (ITC) on SCRL. This qualitative exploratory study took place in ICT and…

Collaboration skills are essential skills that students must have in the era of higher education, where they must work together to complete complex tasks. This study intends to examine the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) supported by artificial intelligence-driven mind mapping in enhancing the collaboration skills of pre-service…

Higher Education Institutions are introducing Virtual-Reality (VR) development courses and divisions focussing on the development of Virtual Environments which are in high demand. Students without a programming background are not familiar with the processes of developing Virtual Assembly Training Systems (VATS), consequently, they learn through…

Community-based Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a promising practice to improve secondary STEM education. In these projects, students design and conduct authentic investigations with community stakeholders and technical experts. The work culminates with a public display of authentic artifacts like evidence-based advocacy reports or engineering…

This viewpoint article argues that there is an urgent need to reform the project-based EdTech approach in order to allow EdTech to contribute to the resilience of education systems in the aftermath of COVID-19. Looking at the contrast between the multiplication of EdTech pilot projects presented as a necessary step in a process that will…

Purpose: Globalization underscores the importance of developing language learners' intercultural communication competence (ICC). English language teacher education nowadays thus necessitates pedagogy training on not only linguistic, but also intercultural dimensions. However, the development of PSETs' home-country cultural knowledge (HCK) and…

Employers want graduates who excel in communication, collaboration, and teamwork. But implementing activities and assessments to support this skill development can be challenging in higher education large-enrollment classes where the balance between the extra work it creates for faculty and perceived value for students must be carefully…
