Intergenerational science education programs provide many opportunities to enhance content connection-making, foster classroom community, and cultivate science identity for participants. The Early Adventures Program (EAP) at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) serves as a model for adult-child co-learning programs for children (ages…

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) has become an essential pedagogical approach in mathematics education, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving and student engagement. As its implementation continues to expand, a bibliometric analysis is necessary to examine the prevailing landscape, emerging trends, leading contributors and core research themes…

This paper reviews the literature on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as an experiential pedagogical methodology in general education. Using VOSviewer, a bibliometric analysis tool, the review explores the evolution, key themes, and prominent research trends within the PjBL field. The analysis identifies influential publications, authors, and…

Background/purpose: Practical work is a key component of science education that can contribute to comprehensive learning and scientific literacy. This study presents the results of an Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) approach using a DNA extraction practice with 4th-year secondary education Spanish students. The findings highlight significant…

A pedagogy of vision and seeing has a long history. Teachers' professional vision, seeing and noticing are today regarded as important factors that affect the quality of their teaching and are considered important to develop. The article argues that there is a need to gain a deeper understanding of teachers' professional vision, seeing and…

Incorporating design thinking in project-based learning (PjBL) can generate a new praxis to epitomise an ecology of active-learner approaches and embrace the authenticity of collaborative problem-based learning (PBL). Design-oriented disciplines in higher education are expanding their teaching and research objectives to prepare future designers to…

The ideas of project-based language learning (PBLL) align well with the action-oriented approach, which is considered a promising approach in language education (Piccardo & North, 2019). In this study, we carried out the scoping review of empirical research articles describing the implementation of PBLL in higher education during the period…

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to design and validate an evaluation instrument for a didactic strategy based on gamification, specifically adapted to e-learning contexts in higher education. It addresses the ongoing challenge of enhancing student motivation, engagement, and retention in virtual learning environments. Background: With the sustained…

In the postgraduate fire safety engineering programme, students come from diverse educational backgrounds, leading to varying levels of familiarity with the fundamental principles essential for understanding fire engineering concepts. As a result, a significant amount of new knowledge must be delivered, which often increases the cognitive load on…

This study explores the integration of immersive virtual reality (IVR) in teaching carbon-neutral development, focusing on experiential learning. Utilizing a case study approach with the Hafencity project in Hamburg, Germany, the research evaluates IVR as an educational tool to deliver an immersive learning experience in carbon-neutral development…

The 21st-century competencies--particularly creative thinking and collaborative skills--among junior high school students in Indonesia was underdevelopment. Science-Biology learning is still dominated by conventional, teacher-centered methods that limit student engagement and higher-order thinking. Although the Kurikulum Merdeka promotes the use…

Well-being plays a critical role in student performance and engagement. The purpose of this pilot study is to describe an active and experiential learning activity and examine its effect on promoting well-being in a convenience sample of graduate students. The results of this study demonstrated that the active and experiential learning…

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between knowledge absorptive capacity, listening, and multiple intelligences. Data were collected and analyzed from 79 students at Tainan First Boys' School and Anping Junior High School. An experimental design was implemented, dividing participants into two groups: a didactic instruction group and…

Background/purpose. Innovative thinking and meta-skills are needed to solve difficult problems in the 21st century, but standard training techniques often fail. The fact that only 6% of pupils are innovative thinkers highlights a major educational gap. The GENICS learning approach (Grouping, Exploring, Discussion, Individual Activity, Combining,…

This study examines how task instruction and task appraisals predict engagement and disaffection in classroom moments. We assessed 2,560 momentary survey responses from 124 Finnish 7th grade students using a within-person analytical approach. The results showed that students were more engaged during active instruction and when they had choice in…
