Many studies have examined the effect of argumentation-based instruction methods on student achievement in the literature. However, there was no mixed-research synthesis study providing a holistic overview of quantitative and qualitative research findings of primary studies. To fill this gap in the literature, the study investigated the effects of…

One flashcard teaching method used to teach discrete academic skills is strategic incremental rehearsal (SIR). Although the evidence for SIR is strong, no studies have evaluated the effectiveness and efficiency of SIR when used in a small-group format. The current study used a combinatorial design using a multiple baseline with an embedded adapted…

The problem that was addressed through this study is the declining student degree completion rate for a public state baccalaureate institution in a northwestern state over the six-year period of 2014 to 2020. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if completion of an undergraduate degree within six years could be predicted by the…

Background Study: Several meta-analysis studies have investigated the effects of mobile learning on learning performance. However, limited attention has been paid to pedagogy in mobile learning, making quantitative evidence of the effects of pedagogical approaches on learning performance in mobile learning scarce. Filling this gap can therefore…

The problem addressed in this study was the lack of quantitative evidence regarding the effectiveness of standards-based grading. The purpose of this study was to compare college students' GPAs and their perception of college preparedness to determine if there was a significant difference between students graduating from traditional grading high…

While many student leadership educators facilitate trainings, research has shown most never actually learn how to design and deliver impactful experiences. This article provides a proven framework for consistently designing and delivering high-impact, high-engagement, and high-enjoyment trainings that leverage experiential learning and reflective…

The metaverse has the potential to revolutionise education in several ways. It can provide students with immersive learning experiences, allowing them to explore and interact with virtual worlds and objects that are difficult or impossible to replicate in the real world. Yet, studies investigating the impact of the metaverse on students' skills…

In this article, the authors analyze data accumulated over 10+ years of teaching market interaction using a simple classroom experiment. The experiment is designed to teach first-year undergraduate students the basics of supply and demand and market efficiency. In total, they analyze data from 85 teaching sessions and 243 individual markets. They…

The generative learning strategy of learning by drawing has received increased attention in recent years. Although this strategy is regularly used by educators, the literature suggests that the effectiveness of the method depends on several factors. In this review, we highlight recent research trends and methodological progress within the field.…

Differentiated instruction stands as a cornerstone in modern pedagogical practices, aiming to cater to students' diverse needs and learning preferences. This systematic review delves into the vast landscape of differentiated instruction, aiming to illuminate its affordances and effectiveness across various educational settings. By synthesizing…

What is the potential of arts-based works to help learners grasp complex theoretical insights? In this paper, we discuss the integration of an artistically inspired course in a university curriculum. Social science students created arts-based works to explain the essence of complex social theories. These works were used to communicate theoretical…

Many previous studies have indicated that teachers often hold a blend of conceptions of teaching, combining both teacher-oriented and student-oriented perspectives. This research extends the existing literature by investigating whether these mixed conceptions lead to dissonant combinations, and by examining how teachers perceive and manage these…

This article examines individualising processes in the context of Municipal Adult Education in Swedish for Immigrants (SFI). Demands to adapt education to individual students' needs are increasingly evident in adult education policies, requiring accountable authorities' active engagement in enacting effective organisational frameworks while…

The purpose of this study is to develop understanding of the relation between instructional practices and students' reading amount. As part of a larger mixed-methods study of reading practices across the curriculum in Swedish compulsory school, a selection of 14 classes from Grades 6 and 9 were observed over a total of 59 lessons. The data…

Background: Both eye movement modelling examples (EMMEs) and cues guide attention and improve learning in multimedia learning environments. EMME can act as a special form of cue. However, no studies have directly examined whether EMME would be superior to visual cues. Objective: The study was to investigate whether there were advantages of EMME…
