This paper introduces the COM-B model (Capabilities-Opportunities-Motivation:Behaviour) and its use in combination with the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) in developing an intervention which aims to promote the adoption of learning design methodologies by academic staff working with learning technologists in Higher Education (HE). Qualitative…

Student modeling is one of the most important processes in adaptive systems. Although learning is individual, a model can be created based on patterns in student behavior. Since a student model can be created for more than one student, the use of machine learning techniques in student modeling is increasing. Artificial neural networks (ANNs),…

The present study attempts to examine the effects of group awareness on knowledge construction and further surveys in what ways the different group awareness types support the collaboration in CSCL. In this quasi-experimental study, we adopted a self-developed group awareness tool that could display cognitive, social and behavioral group awareness…

With the acceleration of the digitalization process in education, distance education has been common. There has been a significant increase in students receiving distance education, especially in recent years. When a situation assessment is conducted regarding the future, it is predictable that this increase will continue. Especially in the…

This paper discusses recent updates and developments of computing-based courses in the civil engineering discipline. Competency in computing is one of the most important capabilities for university graduates to obtain given the rapid development of computer technology in professional work. Civil engineering is no exception. In fact, many…

Primary schools have always embraced visitors and visits covering a wide range of contexts. In his 14 years of teaching the author cannot remember a year without two or three topic-linked trips and numerous visitors carrying out a wide variety of activities with classes.

Many powerful teaching techniques have not yet fully transitioned from face-to-face use to the new remote instructional paradigm forced on teacher educators and teacher candidates during the pandemic. Experiences by candidates and by instructors in this new environment need to be compiled and shared as we head forward into structures and…

Teaching and understanding evolution is challenging because students must synthesize several biological processes that are traditionally taught separately. We developed a set of free online lessons and activities centered on a single evolutionary phenomenon -- why deer mice have different fur colors in different subpopulations -- to help high…

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged medical educators internationally to confront the challenges of adapting their present educational activities to a rapidly evolving digital world. In this article, the authors use anatomy education as proxy to reflect on and remap the past, present, and future of medical education in the face of these…

Introduction: Online learning increased rapidly during the 2020 school year due to COVID-19. While online learning was perhaps the only realistic response to the health crisis, students differ in terms of their success with online learning. One particular group which may be vulnerable to problems with online learning is transfer students. Transfer…

Project-based learning (PBL) is considered an engaging and promising pedagogy across diverse disciplines and student populations in the United States in the digital age. Research on PBL in online environments and in the field of art has, however, been limited. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to examine the theoretical grounds of PBL and…

This paper endeavors to propose a clear framework to show how the Lebanese traditional schools will be transformed to digital schools to benefit from digital technology. Digitalization is prompting education at a very fast pace. Educational institutions are in vital need of technology implementations to stay digitally relevant to Net-generation…

Developing online educators can be enhanced by applying models of skill acquisition and online learning practices with mentoring for skill development. These practices and processes are rooted in understanding the foundational role of self-direction in online professional development.

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between Turkish teaching and e-learning, m-learning and u-learning in the program dimension. The research was carried out according to the interpretative paradigm. In this study, which was designed according to the qualitative research method, document analysis was used as a data collection…
