This paper presents a teacher dashboard intervention study in secondary school practice involving teachers (n = 16) with their classes (n = 22) and students (n = 403). A quasi-experimental treatment-control group design was implemented to compare student learning outcomes between classrooms where teachers did not have access to the dashboard and…

Teachers' mental representations significantly shape their attitudes and guide their professional behavior. This study focuses on identifying prospective teachers' mental representations of gifted students and their education, using the AGA technique. In a cross-sectional study, 480 prospective teachers (M[subscript age] = 20.73 years) listed the…

Graph data, especially large graph data, come up in many domains, such as social networks, the map of science, biological data, and even knitting! This presents a problem when we consider visualizing these structures. Layouts must be chosen carefully so that the structure of the graph is visible. Some graphs are large enough and connected enough…

Geological skills such as interpreting outcrops are often taught during fieldwork. However, recent advancements in digital technologies and the demand for more inclusive and accessible learning has provided an opportunity to teach these skills in virtual field trips (VFT). The Iceland VFT was developed to teach students about volcanic features and…

Titration is an important experimental skill that every chemistry educator and learner must master. Titration is often the method of choice in the science laboratory courses in secondary and postsecondary schools. During acid-base titration, chemistry learners are always told about salt formation. However, a practical visualization of the salt…

The phenomenological research study explores the lived experience of Black first-generation college students navigating the financial aid process to understand how they experience the process of using financial aid to pay for college through degree attainment. Higher education is aligned with social and occupational mobility. Financial aid has its…

Meta-analysis results are usually presented in forest plots, which show the individual study results and the summary effect along with their confidence intervals. In this paper, we propose a system of linear springs as a mechanical analogue of meta-analysis that enables visualization and enhances intuition. The length of a spring corresponds to a…

Students are well aware that when an electric current flows through a light bulb, it glows. As their grade increases, they have understood that electric current flows because electric charges move. Since the transfer of electric charges is not visible, students have many cognitive difficulties in understanding this process, and teaching materials…

Circuit simulation, together with practical sessions, is considered a fundamental tool to assist in the teaching of electronics. Robotics offers rich real-world applications that foster student interest in developing engineering projects. Despite the potential benefits of uniting these two realities, software tools that combine circuits and…

Involuntary musical imagery (INMI; more commonly known as "earworms" or having a song "stuck in your head") is a common musical phenomenon and one of the most salient examples of spontaneous cognition. Despite the ubiquitous nature of INMI in the general population, functional roles of INMI remain to be fully established and…

The goal of this chapter is to propose a cyclical process of how teachers can use multimodal multichannel data of cognitive, affective, metacognitive, motivational, and social processes to assist with the understanding of their own and their students' self-regulated learning (SRL), and their subsequent instructional decision making. What…

This study used the verbal protocol method to examine differences in perceptions of spatial mental imagery between students and studio lecturers and between clients and designers/architects, which lead to interpretational bias between groups of respondents regarding interior spaces. Individual perceptions of virtual space dimensions were captured…

This randomised controlled trial experimental study compared the effectiveness of using two different types of visualisation -- "self-constructed visualisation" (SCV) and "passively received visualisation" (PRV) -- to help children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) solve mathematical word problems. While SCV…

A concept map is a visualisation of a group of related concepts with their relationships identified by directed arrows, which can be viewed as an externalisation of a schema encoded in a learner's long-term memory. Concept maps have become popular learning tools in various educational settings. However, the existing research has not fully explored…

The use of electronic media in the classroom was prevalent during the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic because it afforded the health and safety of students in blended course modalities. This project aimed to quantify the effectiveness of a three-dimensional computer-based human anatomical online platform in a blended synchronous course…
