The flipped classroom has gained widespread popularity as a form of blended learning. In this form, students engage in active learning in the classroom while completing their readings at home. The article presents the results of a longitudinal mixed-methods study on student satisfaction in a flipped classroom undergraduate course at a Taiwanese…

University Technical Colleges (UTCs) are newly established (since 2010-11) technical and vocational secondary schools in England, catering for young people aged 14-19. The schools focus strongly on delivering vocational, alongside Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)-focused academic, qualifications. The colleges have been…

Picturebooks offer powerful supports for teaching diverse content across different curriculum areas. Research and curriculum resources document their use in inquiry-based education practices, particularly in relation to science and philosophy. There is, however, little theoretical analysis of this use or cross-curricular comparisons. Applying a…

Contribution: Online learning during the pandemic led to reports of learning losses, with physical isolation as one contributing factor. Education on the African continent faced additional challenges due to weaker supply chains and connectivity. Here, it is shown that even if students participate in a project-based design course online, from their…

There is a paucity of empirical research on teaching mixed methods. To fill this gap in literature, this convergent mixed methods study explores the effectiveness of using active learning approaches in teaching a mixed methods course. The qualitative data, including 10 individual interviews, 29 students' reflections, and 26 teaching evaluation…

This study aimed to investigating the impact of project-based learning strategy on action research skills of Jordanian basic school students in light of some variables while teaching the unite of "Water". Semi-experimental design was used on a sample of 9th grade female students distributed in experimental group of (40) and a control…

The way flipped classrooms are perceived and even practiced by teachers is sometimes approximate. For instance, while the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed many universities to adopt distance learning, flipped classrooms have often been mentioned as a solution in that context. This inducement maintains a confusion between flipped classrooms and…

The major is a standard undergraduate degree structure in which learners follow largely predetermined course paths with the primary goal of developing content knowledge and skills. Developing the more sophisticated ability to author inquiry is typically deferred to graduate training but can, we believe, be successfully cultivated in undergraduates…

An introductory phonetics course provides foundational content for future clinical practice and may serve as a student's first experience within the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders. The Students as Partners framework (Cook-Sather et al., 2014) offers a model for valuing student assets and experiences in co-creating learning materials…

There is a great need for applied studies at the K-12 level on how creative problem solving skills can be developed in out-of-school environments and what kind of learning activities can be used. Therefore, in this study, the effects of inquiry-based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities on students' STEM awareness and…

In this article, we have examined the effectiveness of teaching economics through project-based learning. For this purpose, we carried out an experiment at secondary schools in the Slovak Republic. We divided 123 students into control and experimental groups. In both groups, teaching was carried out on the same topic by the same teacher in the…

Creative thinking skills are recognised 21 century skills. This study aimed to determine whether students' creative thinking skills in biochemistry courses are improved through scaffolding-based problem-based learning. The study employed a mixed methods approach with a sample of 113 chemistry education programme students at Jambi University. An…

Scientific argumentation is a higher-order thinking skill that is a major focus in education in the 21st century. This is a skill that plays an important role in knowledge construction which in reality is rarely implemented in science learning. The facts show that most students have low scientific argumentation skills and still need to be…

Active learning strategies are purported to be effective in enhancing students' understanding of concepts that would otherwise be difficult to master through other strategies of mediating learning. This study forms part of a bigger study where pre-service teachers' errors and misconceptions in transformation geometry were identified, analyzed and…

The study evaluated the Personalized, Relevant, Engaged for Postsecondary (PREP) intervention implemented by Portland Public Schools (PPS) to promote student engagement in alternative high schools. The PREP intervention integrated three key components: project-based learning (PBL); career technical education (CTE), including certified CTE programs…
