Negative attitudes toward mathematics can adversely impact student achievement in the subject area. Successful development and implementation of blended learning in high school mathematics has the potential to positively impact student attitudes towards mathematics and towards their ability to do mathematics and student mathematics achievement.…

The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to explore the perspectives of school leaders who have supported teachers' transition through the implementation and sustained use of blended learning in middle school and high school settings in New York State. The theory that guided this study was Bridges's (2016) transition theory. The…

The FCE (field-based chemistry experiment) model was developed to cultivate pre-service science teachers' ability to teach chemistry experiments in secondary classrooms. We describe the process of developing the FCE model and student activities via feedback from experts and analysis of the implemented program. This study evaluated the…

Organizing a coherent PBL semester where courses and project work are integrated and supporting the development of both disciplinary and generic competences is difficult. In this study we investigate how integration can be supported by different IT initiatives. Applying a practice theoretical approach, inspired by Stephen Kemmis, this article…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a blended teaching-learning approach on academic achievement and twenty-first century skills of preservice teachers who took the teaching principles and methods course. The implementation was carried out over a period of ten weeks with preservice teachers who were enrolled in pedagogical…

This research development is motivated by low learning outcomes Art Culture students of class XI software engineering 1 SMK Negeri 14 Medan. This study aims to (1) describe the design of blended learning development, (2) to describe the validity of the blended learning development result, and (3) to know the effectiveness of the use of blended…

Learners' autonomous learning is at the heart of modern education, and the convenient network brings new opportunities for it. We notice that learners mainly use the combination of online and offline learning methods to complete the entire autonomous learning process, but most of the existing models cannot effectively describe the complex process…

Our study addresses a systemic issue facing higher education -- a lack of rigorous educational research alongside new technology-assisted ways of teaching and learning. The issue highlights the disciplinary disconnect as many academics do not research outside their discipline, yet are tasked with educational modernisation through trying out new…

For performing arts education, Sage on the stage and Learn from the Masters were halted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and so did everything else. All lectures, tutorials and other face-to-face skill-based training sections were cancelled and were replaced by the online model. Such a model was only seen as one of the supplementary components for…

Recent advancements in technology and increased globalization due to the internet have led to the development and popularization of asynchronous teaching formats. One of these is blended learning (BL), which combines online and physically in-person learning. While it is widely agreed that BL formats lead to measurable increases in student…

Surprisingly little has been written about the notion of virtual teams in schooling contexts and less on the role of virtual teams in the professional learning and development (PLD) of teachers. Virtual teams are groups that use technologies to collaborate to address common goals. Members may work at in different locations, in different…

The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a host of personal and professional complications for faculty across academia, as well as the students they teach. While the severity of these complications vary at the individual level and look different for everyone, one area COVID-19 has presented enormous challenges in academia is…

One of the major objectives of precision education is to improve prediction of educational outcome. This study combined theory-driven and data-driven approaches to address the limitations of current practice of predicting learning outcomes only using a single approach. The study identified the online learning patterns by using students'…

The purpose of the current research was to investigate the perceptions and experiences of university students regarding three different teaching and learning approaches constructed as a face-to-face approach, a technology-supported traditional approach, and an e-learning approach. The researchers attempted to report the preliminary findings of…

A full year after the COVID-19 crisis began, most schools are still offering instruction completely online or via hybrid models. As educators were forced to quickly adjust to the new digital environment of education, the nation faced an unprecedented series of social crises, including rising unemployment and economic disparities, racial…
