The purpose of this study was to compare the differential effects of mobile assistive technology (AT) loaded with visual activity schedules (VAS; pictures alone) compared to video activity schedules (VidAS; pictures linked to video models) to promote vocational independence and decreased reliance on adult supports for adolescents and adults with…

Atomic-level visualizations serve as pivotal instructional tools in chemistry education, providing insights into the particulate level of matter, a dimension fundamental, yet typically invisible, in the study of chemistry. This research investigates how students' engagement with these visualizations influences their conceptual understanding of…

Background: Instructors' facial expressions in instructional videos can greatly influence how learners perceive their emotions, thereby affecting students' attention to the learning content and their overall performance. While the short-term effects of instructors' specific facial expressions in instructional videos have been well documented, less…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the flipped classroom model on the academic success and 21st century skills of middle school students in the unit of systems in our body. The study was conducted with 6th grade students studying in a state school in Istanbul. In the study, an applied study was conducted with two experimental…

Taking the "practice turn" in K-12 science classrooms requires students to engage in processes of knowledge building, constructing explanatory accounts of natural phenomena. To support students in these sensemaking opportunities, a significant departure is needed from how science is typically taught in many classrooms. Teachers will need…

Background: The Social Information Processing (SIP) model has helped to identify specificities in the stages preceding the execution of social behaviour in people with mild intellectual developmental disorder or borderline intellectual functioning. However, uncertainties remain about the involvement of the underlying processes and their…

Research on using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots in learning environments continues to underpin research in and out of academia. However, GenAI text-to-video (T2V) models have not been adequately investigated in academia, mostly due to their novelty. That means their potential to improve learning remains to be determined. This…

Multiple studies have demonstrated the linkage between sedentary lifestyles and adverse health outcomes, emphasizing the need to prioritize student movement and health as a part of the medical school curriculum. This qualitative study assessed the relationship between movement-centered teaching and students' perceptions of learned content through…

Background: In the UK, infant mortality rates are highest among families living in the most socio-economically deprived neighbourhoods. The Midlands region is among the areas with the highest rates in the country. Key modifiable risk factors, such as teenage pregnancy, smoking during pregnancy and not breastfeeding contribute significantly to…

Many professional health programs have transitioned from regional anatomy courses to integrated curricula, in which anatomy is taught longitudinally within a series of systems-based courses. With this shift, systems-based prosections have become increasingly valuable for anatomy education. However, most dissection guides are regionally focused,…

Background: Due to disruptive student behavior, a K-5 urban school developed a problem of practice that focused on creating a classroom management plan and a social-emotional plan for students to regulate their emotions effectively, allowing teachers to execute engaging lessons that increase student engagement. Informal observations conducted by a…

Role models are critical for broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); however, little is known about STEM role model characteristics most likely to promote identification. This study focused on adolescents' preferences and identification with diverse STEM role models featured in online videos. Findings…

We presented participants with lecture videos at different speeds and tested immediate and delayed (1 week) comprehension. Results revealed minimal costs incurred by increasing video speed from 1x to 1.5x, or 2x speed, but performance declined beyond 2x speed. We also compared learning outcomes after watching videos once at 1x or twice at 2x…

Environmental problems still require a lot of solutions that need to involve various groups including universities. Through effective environmental education learning, it can have an impact on awareness and achievement of student competencies in Environmental Science courses. The application of learning media by utilizing digital technology is…

In this article, we explore space, time, and mattering in relation to empathy and nature by examining videos created by 10 undergraduate education majors attending university in Helsinki. Completed as part of a cross-curricular project between art and music students, the video artworks were inspired by a garden theme. Using arts-based,…
