Over a period of eight years, undergraduate students were surveyed to describe instructional strategies, routines, or techniques they perceived to be effective. A content analysis of the 1,471 collected surveys yielded nine themes that faculty may find helpful when designing instructional environments. Students expressed appreciation for…

This research identified significant misconceptions and a lack of practical, real-life understanding due to the strict teacher-centric approach and unavailability of teaching materials in the science teaching and learning process. This action research was conducted with five science teachers, focusing on using locally available teaching materials…

This study was conducted to examine the effects of feedback provided by a generative AI chatbot trained by the researcher and feedback given by a teacher on students' achievement and retention in informative text writing.In this context, a convergent parallel mixed-methods approach was adopted. The research was conducted with two groups at the…

The use of technologies in mathematics education at all levels has been discussed extensively for a number of years. It is one of the few themes that was the object of two ICMI studies, the most recent being published in 2010. Two new approaches, emerging lately in the teaching and learning of Mathematics at all levels, will be discussed:…

The review systematically analyzes AI-disruptive change in language education by considering multilingual settings, large language models, and new implications. After integrating the findings of 161 studies from 2015 to 2024, the review relies on the PRISMA framework to analyze progress and gaps regarding AI use tools, ethical considerations, and…

This quasi-experimental study investigates the comparative effectiveness of inquiry-based learning, STEAM, and Guided Inquiry-STEAM (GI-STEAM) in fostering elementary students' creative thinking skills and scientific attitudes.

UNESCO (2023) has called for educators to use pedagogical approaches that prioritize human agency and a responsible interaction between humans and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). The present study, therefore, sought to design and implement an innovative 5-stage GenAI-based project with Sports Science English for Specific Purposes (ESP)…

Considerable effort has been exerted to identify effective instructional methods to teach reading in the early grades. Ideally, these practices would be provided to students by knowledgeable educators. However, many educators lack linguistic knowledge of the English language and essential concepts about early literacy acquisition that predict…

The use of technology in higher education science classrooms rose significantly in the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. In many universities, academic programs including introductory physics classes were taken online. Some institutions adopted online learning but also maintained face-to-face (F2F) laboratories when COVID-19 restrictions began to…

An important challenge for the geoscience community is developing engaging, accessible, and effective experiences within introductory courses, which are often gateways to geoscience majors.
