An essential part of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is the students' group work. What happens in students' group work when no tutor/facilitator is present is normally a hidden land. Thus, there is limited research on students' interactional way of doing PBL, this study tries to amend this by looking at how students conduct group work without any…

A wide variety of activities, instructional teaching styles and physical activity for health characterise PE practices today. However, for children, PE is about more than performing activities or being physically active for health. Children experience moving in the context of PE in varying and ambivalent ways, which indicates that qualitative…

This pilot study analysed the learning strategies of advanced students and professional electroacoustic composers engaged in creating new musical pieces through online collaboration. The participants were divided into three groups and interacted in a virtual setting using synchronous (chat and Skype) and asynchronous tools (forum, compositional…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare strength-endurance handgrip performance and muscle coactivation between judo athletes and untrained young males. Method: The sample was 38 judo athletes and 38 untrained young males, between 12 and 15 years-old. Maturational status was evaluated by age at peak height velocity. A maximal isometric…

The purpose of this study was to explore the implications of students' and teacher's creative configuration in the physical and virtual world. This analysis will be performed in a secondary school. Adopting a socio-material perspective, this paper focuses on embodiment configuration features for sense-making via new technology mediation. The…

In her original article, "Identity, Agency and the Internal Conversations of Science and Math Teachers Implementing instructional reforms in High-Need Urban Schools", Stacy Olitsky (2021) takes us on an exploration of the identity development and agencies exerted by two teachers working to implement science instructional reforms in…

This article presents the results of two pilot studies focused on examining social work students' ability to interview two clients at once to provide evidence supporting the use of new dyadic subscales. Students participated in a simulation scenario with either a parent and bisexual child or a parent and transgender child. Licensed social workers…

This study explored the Turkish language teaching curriculum (TLTC, Grades 1-8) outcomes through an interactionist framework. Two points framed the analysis of the outcomes: learning demand and social discussions of the meanings. This study concluded that particularly for the learning areas such as reading, speaking, and writing, sixth- to…

Science teaching and learning are discursive practices, yet analysis of these practices has frequently been grounded in theorizations that place language at the forefront of interaction and meaning-making. Such language-centric analytic approaches risk overlooking key embodied, enacted aspects of students' engagement in science practices. This…

Reciprocal eye contact is a significant part of human interaction, but its role in classroom interaction has remained unexplored, mostly due to methodological issues. A novel approach in educational science, multiple-person mobile gaze-tracking, allows us to gather data on these momentary processes of nonverbal interaction. The current…

Interactions between staff and individuals with intellectual disability have been shown to influence the development or maintenance of challenging behaviours among the latter. Given the implications of these observations, the present study sought to describe special education teachers' responses to challenging behaviours displayed by their pupils.…

The purpose of the study is to investigate the students' attitudes towards using interactive whiteboard in mathematics classrooms in the middle and high school. The IWB survey was used to measure students' attitudes. The research sampling consisted of 112 students in middle schools and 231 students in high schools in Balikesir in Turkey. The…

As collaborative problem-solving skills are increasing in importance, Project-Based Learning (PBL) is being implemented in various ways, but the results differ depending on the participants. This study shows that the results of PBL depend on student interaction type and learning motivation. The difference in the levels of interaction and learning…

In this paper, we analyse the role of the student's digital reputation as a motivational factor for successfully completing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). After a review of the academic literature on the role that the student's reputation plays in community learning and to understand the role of involving the student that new techniques of…

Background: Several studies demonstrate the benefits of understanding explicit and tacit embodied interactions in physical education (PE). However, there is little research that explores the embodied interactions that occur in early primary PE classes (years 1 and 2), where children (are socialized to) embody various body values, attitudes and…
