This review examines the evolution of tertiary undergraduate chemistry teaching from 2019 to 2023, including in response to the global pandemic's impact on teaching and learning methods and whether those adaptations have persisted. The authors assessed the current educational landscape against standards set by leading accreditation bodies, the…

This study examines the design, implementation, and evaluation of a Digital Educational Escape Room (DEER) titled "Escape from the Doctor's Office," developed to enhance artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) literacy. Grounded in constructivist pedagogy and behaviorist principles, the DEER was designed using the ADDIE…

Physical education is the only school subject that provides access to psychomotor learning opportunity for all students, and, thus, should be the primary content identified in physical education standards. Half of the recently released 2024 SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards now focus specifically on social and personal…

Computer programming is regarded as an important skill for the future. However, many K-12 students face challenges and difficulties in learning traditional text-based programming. Block-based visual programming (BVP) can reduce the difficulty of learning programming and is seen as a potential programming education tool. Nevertheless, the effects…

In this study, we aimed to develop an active play learning model to enhance cognitive thinking skills in elementary school students. We employed a qualitative research methodology, targeting health and physical education teachers from schools in Suphan Buri Province in Thailand. We collected data through individual surveys and indepth interviews…

Today's adolescents actively engage with media, not only as consumers but also as creators. Their media creation activities range from graphic design and video production to digital storytelling and game programming. These experiences enable youth to express their voices and promote individual and community development. However, media production…

Speakers may resort to different inferences and expectations in intercultural encounters. These expectations are influenced by speakers' socialization processes in speech communities and networks, as well as by the local interactional demands and power dynamics in the communicative situation. While interactional sociolinguistic studies have…

Amid climate change, digital transformation, global warming, economic recessions, and rising geopolitical tensions, K-12 and higher education are undergoing a profound transformation. All these remarkable and unsettling changes, along with groundbreaking advancements over the past decade, will undoubtedly impact students' learning trajectories and…

The aim of this book is to convey to teachers the potential of out-of-school environments for mathematics education. This book is primarily intended to inform teachers about the potential of out-of-school learning environments for mathematics learning/teaching. First of all, these environments will be introduced to teachers. It will be explained…

This article explores using game theory in social studies classrooms as a heuristic to aid students in understanding strategic decision making. The authors provide examples of several simple games teachers can use. Next, we address how to help students design their own simple (2 × 2) games.

One of the highest ambitions in educational technology is the move towards personalized learning. To this end, computerized adaptive learning (CAL) systems are developed. A popular method to track the development of student ability and item difficulty, in CAL systems, is the Elo Rating System (ERS). The ERS allows for dynamic model parameters by…

The authors developed a digital spelling game to promote children's early literacy skills. Based on the dual-coding theory, the authors studied the benefits of auditory support alone versus auditory+visual support. Children played the game in three conditions: no support, hearing the whole word; auditory-only support, hearing a word segmented; and…

New instructional models for learning are emerging as alternatives to traditional education. Gamified instruction is touted as a motivational alternative for learning that increases learner autonomy, but research is lacking into its educational merit beyond those claims. This study measured the extent to which a gamified English as a foreign…

Working outside can be harder than inside; one may be physically more active, regularly battling against the elements and often more alert -- watchful for potential dangers. Overall education out of doors is physically and mentally taxing. We have to be convinced all the effort is for a good reason (Bilton, 2010, p. 12). The researchers applied…

The success of films such as "Avengers: Endgame," "Black Panther," and "Captain Marvel" has established the superhero genre in modern popular culture. Many students will have seen these films, or at the very least they are familiar with a number of the superhero characters. In the physics classroom, content based on…
