The study investigated the effects of applying the BOPPPS-based collaborative online international learning (COIL) model, i.e., COIL-BOPPPS model, in a summer online course for international students. BOPPPS refers to six steps in lesson planning: Bridge, Objective, Pre-assessment, Participatory learning, Post-assessment, and Summary. The study…

During their careers, teachers experience change in education policy, societal trends, and cultural shifts in pedagogical thought, requiring continual adaptation and innovation of their practices. Coupled with this is an assumed intrinsic desire to progress, whether as part of their own subject expertise, or with a view to taking on a role as…

In the context of rapid globalization and digitalization, the development of students' critical and analytical thinking skills is increasingly prioritized in education. This study aims to address the gap in instructional models by designing an eight-step instructional model that integrates collaborative and reflective learning strategies to…

The integration of web-based discussion tools in education has expanded rapidly, yet their pedagogical use remains largely unstructured, often resulting in fragmented discussions and limited learners' engagement. This gap reflects the absence of empirically grounded instructional models that align digital discourse with principles of collaborative…

In contemporary society, students' analytical thinking and reasoning skills are crucial for their future development. The fourth grade (ages 9-10) is a critical stage for cultivating higher-level cognitive skills in students. Mathematics plays a significant role during this period, serving as a fundamental tool for fostering students' analytical…

The growing use of video technologies has revealed the need for pedagogical models to support collaborative learning as part of teacher professionalization processes. We conducted a state-of-the-art review of 120 empirical studies from 2003 to 2019 to identify pedagogical models for the facilitation of teachers' professional development via…

The FCE (field-based chemistry experiment) model was developed to cultivate pre-service science teachers' ability to teach chemistry experiments in secondary classrooms. We describe the process of developing the FCE model and student activities via feedback from experts and analysis of the implemented program. This study evaluated the…

In response to the persistent challenges students face in mastering complex scientific concepts, innovative instructional approaches are needed to improve learning outcomes and engagement. Thus, this study presents the newly designed 6Ps-based instructional model aimed at enhancing organic chemistry education through a multimedia-supported flipped…

Universities are facing many challenges with growing student numbers and a need to modify the traditional lecture and tutorial-based face-to-face pedagogical style both for students who work full-time while studying and for international students who may have language difficulties. To address these challenges, a flipped classroom pedagogical model…

Quality physical education can play a critical role in helping students become more active, physically literate, and develop the skills and interests to remain physically active throughout their lives. The healthy, physically active student is more likely to be academically motivated, alert, and successful in school. Unfortunately, findings from…

This article proposes that libraries reimagine their information literacy instructional programs using a broader conceptualization and implementation of information literacy that promotes collaborative and personalized learning experiences for students, faculty, and staff, while embracing scalable instruction and reference strategies to maximize…

Low-achieving adolescents are known to have difficulties with reading comprehension. This article discusses how reciprocal teaching can improve low-achieving adolescents' reading comprehension in whole-classroom settings (as opposed to small-group settings) and to what extent intervention effects are dependent on teacher behaviour. Over the course…

A great deal of theory and research, not to mention students' and teachers' practical experience, supports the use of group activities in education. Collaborative learning and cooperative learning are two terms commonly used in discussions of how and why to use group activities. This article looks at the issue of whether the two…

New Zealand tertiary classrooms are a mix of New Zealand's ethnically diverse domestic students and predominantly Asian international students. This multicultural diversity, while having potential to enhance educational experience, brings challenges for teachers in the use of cooperative learning. A major challenge is status inequality in diverse…

This article discusses the use of collaborative online technology in the teaching of international relations and politics. Using a case study from Australia, it finds low levels of online innovation in these discipline areas that correlate with broader examinations of technology use in higher education teaching. Themes of time poverty, technical…
