Loop-based intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) support the learning process using a step-by-step problem-solving approach. A limitation of ITSs is that few contents are compatible with this approach.

A growing number of countries has a strong interest in assessing the quality of their talent-support systems. We propose combining two relevant conceptual frameworks -- hemerotopes and the learning and educational capital approach -- to better achieve this end. Hemerotopes provide qualitative categories for assessing the degree to which countries…

In classic visual search, observers typically search for the presence of a target in a scene or display. In foraging tasks, there may be multiple targets in the same display (or "patch"). Observers typically search for and collect these target items in one patch until they decide to leave that patch and move to the next one. This is a…

There is tension about teachers' professional use of social media platforms, such as Pinterest, to access instructional resources for teaching science.

Characterizing who participates in and contributes to science communication efforts can extend our understanding of the science education ecosystem, including giving insight into what kinds of communication works for whom and under what conditions. We describe methods for characterizing an online, scientific affinity space using @TimeScavengers as…

This article explores the critical need for improved Mathematics, Science, Engineering and Technology (STEM) education in South African townships and rural areas, where persistent challenges in teaching methods and resource accessibility have hindered the development of these crucial subjects. The perception of Mathematics and Science as complex…
