Computer Science (CS) Unplugged activities are designed to engage students with CS concepts. It is an active learning approach combining physical interaction with visual representation. This research article investigates the impact of CS Unplugged on students' understanding of the bubble sort algorithm. Algorithm visualization, traditionally…

The study examines the effectiveness of microlearning in developing the capacity to address climate change and adapt to environmental challenges. Conducted as an online field experiment with 140 participants, the study focused on the impacts of smartphone use as an illustrative learning domain for education in climate change-related areas. Using a…

In this five-year co-curricular-making project, participants individually and collectively engage in the messiness of ongoing meaning-making. Such curricular terrain acknowledges the particulars of individuals and place to provide the needed context as 100+ practicing and 140+ prospective educators seek un/decolonized and Indigenized co-curricular…

This paper presents the development of a participatory digital platform designed to promote nature-based experiences for children aged 0 to 3 years. The project responds to the growing reduction of young children's opportunities to engage with nature in their daily lives, despite the critical role such experiences play in early development.…

Background: This study examined students' perceptions of STEM camp experience to gauge whether their participation in an industry-focused STEM camp fostered their familiarity with post-secondary education and facilitated an interest in pursuing STEM-related careers. Related literature points to a lack of experiential learning opportunities with…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies can offer vast professional resources for teachers, empowering them to differentiate their practice, create curricular materials, and generate lesson plans for any topic. But should these novel tools to generate classroom activities and learning experiences be trusted? This study investigates…

This case study investigated the development of AI literacy among novice educational researchers through an AI literacy course. AI literacy requires a high level of competence involving the ability to understand AI, use it effectively for specific tasks, evaluate and create AI, and exhibit ethical behavior in its use. The AI literacy course was…

This research aims to examine the competencies of pre-service science teachers in designing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) activities and the challenges they encounter in this process. The study was carried out using phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs. A total of 23 second-year pre-service science teachers…

Blended learning strategies that employ online resources and face-to-face classes are widely utilised within higher education. Although research suggests that online learning resources can enhance engagement and improve student outcomes, debate continues regarding how best to design the online component of a blended learning strategy. This study…

In computer-assisted language learning (CALL), a variety of studies have explored the use of Virtual Exchange (VE) for shaping learners' cultural competence from the perspective of sociolinguistics. However, few studies have examined learners' psycholinguistic factors in this context. Since based on the dynamic complex system, students'…

Students' participation in schools is a legal obligation in Norway and has received increased attention due to its prevalence in updates to the national curriculum and Act of Education. This paper presents findings from mixed methods research on student participation in seven Norwegian schools in which students, teachers and leaders were asked…

Integrating cultural contexts into mathematics education, mainly through Ethno-Realistic Mathematics Education (Ethno-RME), presents a significant opportunity to enhance students' numeracy skills in geometry. However, challenges persist in effectively incorporating cultural elements into curricula while maintaining rigorous and modern mathematical…

The rise of "big data" within the biological sciences has resulted in an urgent demand for coding skills in the next generation of scientists. To address this issue, several institutions and departments across the country have incorporated coding into their curricula. I describe a coding module developed and deployed in an undergraduate…

This article outlines a structured writing community activity originally created to assist communication majors complete their capstone projects. This activity draws upon the Writing Accountability Group (WAG) strategy that has been utilized to facilitate graduate student and early career faculty writing. The current article provides an overview…

Students engage in a pedagogy that fosters deliberation on civic issues that elicit different perspectives relevant to a community through a semester-long project that culminates in the execution of public dialogue forum. This project facilitates three learning objectives: dialogic praxis, communication as design, and facilitative leadership.…
