In this article, we chronicle the development and implementation of a multilingual drama workshop for teacher candidates within the framework of a course titled "Supporting English Language Learners," as part of the Master of Teaching Program at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. This course takes a decidedly critical…

This article explores the implications of Generative AI in higher education institutions, focusing on its impact on academic integrity and educational policy. The study utilises qualitative methods and desk-based research to investigate the adoption of Generative Pre-Trained Transformer and similar programs within academic settings. While some…

Location Based Games (LBGs) can support various learning activities in both formal and informal settings. Furthermore, the fact that they can utilize players' physical movement for players' advancement in the game world makes them an appealing alternative for promoting physical activity in students. However, LBGs are not sufficiently used in…

Fostering young learners' computational thinking in AI-based robots is a crucial issue in educational settings. However, there was the complexity of technology in supporting learning activities and the gender gap issue, so an appropriate strategy is needed to guide students to achieve the learning goals. In this study, an AI (Artificial…

In this paper, I propose a model of plurimethodological approach in ELT textbook design, in which one unit is based on the communicative PPP unit model, where the unit ends with a final communicative task, and the following unit is based on the action-oriented unit model, where the unit is a mini-project unit as a whole. Such a textbook model is…

Background: Some studies have researched the correlation between flipped learning and cognitive learning outcomes; however, there is a paucity of research elaborating on the effects of flipped language learning on cognitive load (CL). Objectives: This study investigates the effects of using flipped learning designs (student-led, teacher-led and…

This study examined K-12 public school teachers' classroom technology integration practices during the COVID-19 pandemic emergency remote teaching began. Survey data were collected from 76 K-12 teachers in public schools in a Southcentral U.S. state. The data include teachers' general beliefs about technology, their self-efficacy about technology…

Children with mathematical difficulties need to spend more time than typically achieving children on solving even simple equations. Since these tasks already require a larger share of their cognitive resources, additional demands imposed by the need to switch between tasks may lead to a greater decline of performance in children with mathematical…

In-class group work activities are found to promote the interpersonal skills of learners. To support the teachers in facilitating such activities, we designed a learning analytics-enhanced technology framework, Group Learning Orchestration Based on Evidence (GLOBE) using data-driven approaches. In this study, we implemented the algorithmic group…

Considering the need for pedagogically effective learning activities and materials to support language learning, particularly within teacher-led instruction, it is curious that at present there is no overarching, research-based framework available to educators to draw from when designing and implementing such activities and materials. To address…

This article features 29 "Teaching Moments" from the 2018 "Society for Marketing Advances" ("SMA") Annual Conference. The publication of this article is a critical part of a multi-channel distribution system designed to help speed the diffusion of teaching ideas to marketing educators. The "Teaching Moments"…

Computer Science Unplugged (CS-Unplugged) has been evolving in computer science education. It is a promising approach especially for introductory programming skills and computer science concepts. The skills of the computer science instructors/teachers, who convert the approach into practice, can be crucial during the preparation of CS-Unplugged…

The "big bad wolf" chased the squealing children around the playground as they looked for a place to hide. Because Mr. Lòpez and Ms. Kim had introduced the work of engineers and the engineering design process into their unit on The Three Little Pigs, they knew their preschool students would choose a structure that could withstand any…

This article examines factors that are limiting the effectiveness of science education among Indigenous learners. The science classroom requires a fundamental change in its structure. There needs to be an increased focus on defining and examining Indigenous knowledge, on incorporating activities that meet relational needs by using traditional…

In this, the first installment in a series, I present a list of approximately 10[superscript 2] questions that can be addressed in an introductory astronomy course using ubiquitous farmer's almanacs. Some of these questions take the reader into the world of astrology and perhaps other pseudosciences, but that is okay with me because at one time…
