Research on collaborative learning has revealed that peer-collaboration explanation activities facilitate reflection and metacognition and that establishing common ground and successful coordination are keys to realizing effective knowledge-sharing in collaborative learning tasks. Studies on computer-supported collaborative learning have…

The mechanism maps that guide student instruction in organic chemistry curricula are structural representations of bond-breaking and bond-making events that transform a reactant into a product. For students, these pathways represented by electron pushing formalism (EPF) can be challenging to navigate. For instructors, providing formative feedback…

This article explores the impact of German Jewish youth educational travel in Israel on changing attitudes toward Israel. The travelers are engaged in direct interaction with the host country, directly experiencing the environments and interacting with members of the host society while touring places with symbolic meaning. The encounters with…

The aim of this research is to determine the metaphoric perceptions of the teacher candidates regarding the concept of reinforcement, hint, feedback-correction, active participation and punishment used in the teaching-learning process. The study group of this research consisted of students of Education Faculty who studying at Kafkas University in…

In large lectures in education of dentists there is often less dialogue and communication between students and the instructors, and several studies have found that traditional lecturing in such lectures is ineffective in promoting student learning. This Design Based Research (DBR) and case presentation focus on how the use of Student Response…

Advanced Item Response Theory (IRT) practices serve well in understanding the nature of latent variables which have been subject to research in various disciplines. In the current study, 7-12 aged 2536 children's responses to 20- item Visual Sequential Processing Memory (VSPM) sub-test of Anadolu-Sak Intelligence Scale (ASIS) were analyzed with…

The rise of big data technology provides direction and support for the reform and development of education. Big data technology can realize the inventory management and effective dynamic monitoring of schools, students, and teachers. It is conducive to comprehensively and accurately controlling the development of teaching activities, injecting new…

Publication bias is the disproportionate representation of studies with large effects and statistically significant findings in the published research literature. If publication bias occurs in single-case research design studies on applied behavior-analytic (ABA) interventions, it can result in inflated estimates of ABA intervention effects. We…

Professional standards are increasingly being used internationally as the basis of teacher performance and as a mechanism to progress teacher quality. Concurrently, teacher assessment practices continue to be highlighted in many countries as an area in need of further professional development. In this paper, we analyse the assessment focus within…

This article presents findings from a study in which nine classroom teachers interacted with campus literacy coaches. Teachers were interviewed about qualities that they believe constituted an effective literacy coach. The themes that emerged were that literacy coaches have strong interpersonal skills, are knowledgeable, provide specific feedback,…

Worked-examples have been established as an effective instructional format in problem-solving practices. However, less is known about variations in the use of worked examples across individuals at different stages in their learning process in student-centred learning contexts. This study investigates different profiles of students' learning…

This study investigated and compared the effectiveness of both digital game-based learning (DGBL) and static e-learning material for Newton's laws of motion on students' learning attention, affective experiences, cognitive load and academic achievement. Physiological signals and affective techniques were adopted to measure students' learning…

The unequal distribution of natural resources is the direct result of past geologic processes. Once a promising region is located, geologists use a variety of techniques to find the materials and energy that society consumes. Their tools can be as simple as a hand lens or as sophisticated as a satellite. Along the way, exploration geologists and…

Purpose: When self and peer assessment methods become commonly used in the teaching process, the most important problem turns out to be the reliability of the ratings acquired from these sources. Increasing the rater reliability has great importance in the performance evaluation for the reliability of the measurement. This study aimed to determine…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine how well students' response to a morphological vocabulary intervention can be predicted before the start of the intervention from traditional static assessments and to determine whether a dynamic assessment with graduated prompts improves the prediction. Method: A planned secondary analysis of a…
