By some estimates, over 1.2 billion tons of soil was blown across the Great Plains during the height of the Dust Bowl. The so-called "black blizzards" these massive dust storms caused suffocated cattle, sickened children, and destroyed thousands of family farms. Formerly prosperous farmers, unsure why they had such bad luck, wondered if…

Learning materials are tools necessary for carrying out educational activities. Preliminary studies showed that there is still a lack of development in learning materials. This study evaluated the development of an integrated project-based learning model based on CRT to enhance literacy skills, which has been tested for validity and effectiveness.…

This study investigates the impact of gamified project-based learning (GPBL) on the learning motivation of elementary students in rural China and investigates how they perceive GPBL. Using GPBL as an intervention, this study adopts a descriptive qualitative research design, where observation notes, interviews, and focus groups triangulate to…

Instructors often provide feedback to their class in multiple ways. One way is through their follow-up behaviors, which are the specific strategies instructors implement after active learning activities. These behaviors could play an important role in student learning as students receive feedback from the instructor. However, there is little…

The purpose of this study is to examine the design and implementation process of Project-Based Cooperative Learning (PBCL) teaching models. The research initially introduces the theoretical framework, encompassing cooperative learning theory, project-based learning theory, and the theory of PBCL. Subsequent sections elaborate on the construction…

Although active learning is deemed essential in education, research has shown that its implementation in teaching practice is limited, while its potential benefits are not used to their maximum. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the determinants of active learning in contemporary teaching from the perspective of students and teachers in…

Technological advancements and market pressures are driving the development of pedagogical course design approaches. By using organizational design research into structuring organizations and work processes to improve effectiveness and efficiency, we focus on two structural constructs from organizational design research: standardization (of…

Algorithm design is a vital skill developed in most undergraduate Computer Science (CS) programs, but few research studies focus on pedagogy related to algorithms coursework. To understand the work that has been done in the area, we present a systematic survey and literature review of CS Education studies. We search for research that is both…

This study investigated the effect of the science process skills-integrated inquiry-based approach (SPSIIBA) on grade 9 students' academic achievement in cell biology and their perception of SPSIIBA. The study used a mixed-method research approach with a quasi-experimental design. A total of 78 secondary school students participated in the study.…

Math learning in early childhood is critical for later success, as it is predictive of mathematical and academic achievement through adolescence. Therefore, developing engaging and effective methods for early math instruction are important. Math games are a common method for teaching math in a way that is motivating and engaging for young children…

Entrepreneurship project-based learning model on the problem-solving skills of Biology Education study. This study aims to describe the structural correlation construction of creative thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy among biology education students in East Java. The population in this study was…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is an active learning strategy which poses questions to students and supplies them with materials and resources to solve it at their own learning pace. This creates a self-driven atmosphere which promotes collaboration, creativity, cognitive processing, and a curiosity to learn. Three levels of IBL were implemented in…

Cognitive engagement is an essential component in student learning. With the increase of more asynchronous virtual educational tools in classrooms, there is a need to understand how students are engaging with classroom content in these formats. Several studies have examined student and teacher perceptions of cognitive engagement in virtual…

Online learning has become an essential part of mainstream higher education. With increasing enrollments in online anatomy courses, a better understanding of effective teaching techniques for the online learning environment is critical. Active learning has previously shown many benefits in face-to-face anatomy courses, including increases in…

This article reviews research that consistently, across borders and over time, reveals inertia in Higher Education institutions related to innovation in academic teaching. Despite frequent calls for more student-active learning, studies find that teaching remains predominantly traditional and teacher-centred. While research is recognised as…
