A hallmark of effective teaching is that it grants learners not just a collection of facts about the world, but also a toolkit of abstractions that can be applied to solve new problems. How do humans teach abstractions from examples? Here, we applied Bayesian models of pedagogy to a necklace-building task where teachers create necklaces to teach a…

Many have investigated the effectiveness of teaching methods across different disciplines. In a previous study, we found the superior effectiveness of a two-part learning sequence consisting of self-study followed by discussion in humanities education. To examine the possibility of similar findings in science education, we compared that sequence…

A disadvantage that A&P classrooms using 3-D digital computer anatomical models experience is the disconnect between digital and physical models traditionally used. This project used 3-D digital models on smart tablets and traditional physical models for in-class A&P lab practical exam studying and preparation. We focused on the hands-on…

The learning model based on visual and auditory elements, which reflects the modern education process, plays an important role in taking students' readiness levels to the highest levels by directly penetrating their innovative and creative thinking skills. Therefore, the aim is to determine the effects of digital animation technology, an essential…

In the past few years, certain labels for how we frame literacy teaching have become triggers for heated debates in various venues, such as media, social media, journal articles, blogs, and professional organization conference sessions. In this article, we aim to find common ground between proponents of balanced literacy and proponents of a…

Fluorescence experiments hold great potential to develop and deepen student understanding of fundamental chemical concepts because the phenomenon is engaging and also illustrates many different chemical concepts and applications, including in quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, kinetics, equilibrium, and stoichiometry, through easily observable…

Serious games combine education and entertainment to create engaging and effective learning experiences, potentially contributing to science literacy and environmental awareness. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of a particular serious game, H2OeduK, in educating children aged 10 to 11 years on the urban water cycle.…

The multiple methods study was utilized to determine the following: (1) the relationship between reading/special education teachers' instruction of processes designed to engage readers in thinking about what they read, (2) students' use of the processes, and (3) comprehension development.

This mixed-methods study explored teaching strategies that teachers in Miami-Dade County schools found most effective in supporting multilingual learners (MLs). Studies have reported that in-service teachers who interact with multilingual learners lack the preparedness to support their linguistic and learning needs. This research gathered data…

This research examines how flipped classroom (FC) instruction affects the academic results of university students throughout the Middle East. FC teaching pedagogy is one of the relatively new innovative teaching pedagogies that have benefited from the latest technological advancements and emerged as a potential replacement for traditional…

The progress achieved in the models used by future Spanish primary school teachers on the phenomenon of tides is analysed after implementing a modelling-based didactic sequence. It was implemented throughout ten sessions in two classes (N = 88). An open-ended questionnaire was used as a data collecting instrument. Based on prior studies and the…
