This study investigates the use of picturebooks as a pedagogical tool to teach drawing skills for preschoolers. Conducted in a public preschool in China, this study is part of a larger project aimed at implementing a learner-centred approach by utilising picturebooks in preschool lessons. Through classroom observations and interviews with…

Students often struggle in calculating the Real Thermodynamic Properties (RTP) of pure substances, including enthalpy (H), entropy (S), specific volume (V), and internal energy (U). Project-Based Learning (PBL) offers an alternative instructional approach that integrates computational tools with inductive teaching methods. This study evaluates the…

Employers increasingly prioritize candidates who can solve real-world Structured Query Language (SQL) problems, particularly during technical interviews. However, many undergraduate students feel underprepared for these interviews because they have not engaged in the deep learning needed to apply SQL concepts confidently. Additionally, students…

This book aims to broaden the teaching repertoires of pre-service and in-service early childhood teachers so they can better meet the needs of the children they teach. Covering 16 early childhood teaching strategies--ranging from traditional play-based approaches through direct teaching and technology-assisted instruction to postmodern…

Flashcard interventions are commonly used to increase sight-word acquisition and reading ability among students. However, most research on flashcard interventions is implemented in person and not using virtual instruction. The current study compared two flash card interventions, incremental rehearsal (IR) and strategic incremental rehearsal (SIR),…

Peer feedback activities in higher education stimulate critical thinking and reflective learning. However, both research and practice show that students may be concerned about the quality of the peer feedback they receive. To address this, we developed an inductive teaching intervention aimed at enhancing students' feedback literacy while…

Background: The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) presents both opportunities and challenges for rehabilitation counselor education, particularly in preparing students for complex clinical practice. Objective: This study examined the use of GenAI to support simulated client role-play training in a graduate-level…

Background: STEM is an interdisciplinary holistic approach that combines the fields of technology and engineering in science and mathematics disciplines. STEM contributes to students' academic success, 21st century skills, and perspectives towards science. The scarcity of international studies focusing on the implementation of STEM in primary…

Although online courses have been a part of academia for nearly 30 years, they are still perceived as "different" than face-to-face instruction. Through in-depth interviews with four instructors, we explored how STEM faculty approach teaching asynchronous online undergraduate STEM courses. The faculty interviewed for this study viewed…

Design-Based Learning (DBL) is a pedagogical approach where learning is situated in the context of design activities that are typically carried out in groups. During collaborative design inquiry, reflection is of vital importance for learning from design experience. The paper presents a research-through-design study with the intention to generate…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how elementary school teachers in Germany described their experience with movement method with respect to students' mental health and stress levels. The theoretical framework was Ryan and Deci's self-determination theory. The two research questions were: How did elementary school…

This study was conducted to meta-analytically investigate the influence of teaching vs. no teaching expectancy on the learning effects of teaching after preparatory learning. A meta-analysis of 39 studies revealed that a weighted mean effect size for the effect of teaching after studying with or without teaching expectancy vs. merely studying…

This review is an update to previous reviews and research in the area of family involvement in at-home learning. This update was needed to include additional relevant research, investigate potential moderators, and better understand when caregiver-implemented literacy interventions are most effective. This review and meta-analysis included 25…

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, online collaborative problem solving (online CPS) has become one of the most crucial learning methods to develop students' learning performance. However, it remains unclear of the effectiveness of the online CPS method on students' learning performance. Objectives: To explore the overall effect of online…

First-year engineering students show difficulties in connecting basic vector algebra with manipulations using the graphical representation. Experiencing vectors in real applications can improve the process of learning vectors. Thus, we introduce a unique approach for using digital technologies, namely augmented reality. We utilized a video…
