This study addresses the challenges of effectively teaching communication theories to undergraduate students by highlighting the gap between the need for developing higher-order, transferrable knowledge and the learning needs of novice learners. To bridge this gap, it introduces a novel five-step model integrating motivation, direct instruction,…

Multimodal learning analysis emphasizes using diverse data from various sources and forms for precise examination of learning patterns. Despite recent rapid advancements in this field, conventional learning analysis remains predominantly cross-sectional and group-focused, which is insufficient for understanding continuous and personalized learning…

A new, strategic approach to professional development for academic developers is presented in this paper. The new model integrates recognition, sharing good practices, reflection, capability-building, professional dialogues, and community-building. After explaining the drivers, research methods, influences, and design principles that underpin this…

This scholarly essay explores the challenges that teachers face in implementing the Nueva Escuela Mexicana (NEM) [new Mexican school] educational model, which prioritizes project-based and interdisciplinary learning over subject-based instruction. The NEM's flexible approach requires teachers to independently structure lessons, ensuring continuity…

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has led to a surge in research on teachers' adoption of these technologies. However, there is a noticeable lack of comprehensive reviews synthesizing the current state of research on this topic. This study addresses this gap by systematically reviewing 33 studies published since…

Background/purpose: This article presents partial results of a document review that constitutes a key input for the doctoral thesis in Didactics of Science entitled "Model of teacher professional development for the inclusive teaching of chemistry in the academic middle school, mediated by artificial intelligence", developed at the…

Microcredentials (shorter-term credentials) are integrating into traditional degree pathways, and trustees of public colleges and universities should examine the role of these credentials in the baccalaureate programs of their institutions. Shorter-term credentials can provide substantial benefits for public four-year institutions, including…

With the rapid development of information technology, telecommunication network fraud poses a serious threat to college students.

A deep understanding of pelvic floor anatomy requires a three-dimensional visualization of the spatial relationships among pelvic neurovasculature, soft tissue structures, and bony landmarks, which are highly complex and difficult to comprehend solely through traditional teaching methods such as didactic lectures and anatomical dissection. This…

Cognitive-informed reading education research utilises models that are underpinned by the notion that reading is a mental process of word recognition multiplied by language comprehension. Examples of these models include the Simple View of Reading, the Cognitive Foundations Framework, the Reading Rope and the Active Model of Reading. These models…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to identify the impact of teaching science based on John Zahorek's model on the acquisition of scientific concepts among seventh-grade female students. Materials/methods. It was based on the quasi-experimental method. The study participants, comprising 58 seventh-grade students, were intentionally selected from…

Should math educators care about what is happening in numeracy education research? Is the addition of a numeracy course something that mathematics departments should consider in their course offerings? Numeracy is often conflated with math-lite and dismissed as not useful to mathematicians and math educators. The term is used interchangeably with…
