This Data Byte uses data from a previous study to analyze whether indicators of having taken advanced coursework in specific subjects (i.e., English, math, science, and social studies) can reduce the negative impact of grade inflation.

This study explores conceptualisations of global citizenship education expressed by teachers and students in international schools. Using qualitative research, three schools were investigated in the Netherlands, Finland, and Australia. Data for this study was drawn from phenomenological interviews with secondary school students, teachers, and…

This article describes the Teaching4Learning Program for new faculty at the University of Padova, Italy. The program places a strong emphasis on learner-centered teaching, transformative learning, self-directed learning and community of practice, promoting active learning while cultivating critical and creative thinking skills. This innovative…

Set against the backdrop of anti-Blackness and the COVID-19 pandemic, this study explored the context and emergence of Black Joy as a group of Black elders and youth co-designed and implemented a social studies curriculum rooted in the exploration of Black history in their local community. The co-authors utilized kitchen table talk methodologies…

Traditional education often relies on passive learning approaches, whereas modern medical students increasingly seek interactive, technology-enhanced experiences. Despite the growing use of digital tools in anatomy education, there remains a lack of structured, student-centered 3D modeling courses embedded within the undergraduate medical…

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' perceptions of their learning experience through engagement in an active learning strategy termed "deliberative activity," designed to foster the development of moral reasoning. This strategy was implemented in an elective ethics course within a higher education setting. To evaluate…

Collaborative writing is a pedagogical activity increasingly used in second language education. Despite the increased research on L2 students' participation in collaborative writing, scant attention has been paid to student engagement in project-based collaborative writing and the possible engagement changes. This article reports on a longitudinal…

This study explores how high school computer science (CS) course enrollment differs by student background through an intersectional lens. I use statewide data from North Carolina that contains longitudinal student-level background and course-taking information from 2005-2006 to the 2018-2019 school year and estimate linear probability models…

This empirical study aimed to identify strategies for improving the effectiveness of hybrid learning within the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programme in accounting. The PGCE is offered through two modes, full-time and part-time, to accommodate the varying needs and circumstances of students. Full-time students are required to…

In this study, we conduct a longitudinal experiment to explore the effects of adaptive phonetic training on the identification of the English vowels /i/ and /I/ by learners in China. The vowel /i/ in English has a low F1 value, a high F2 value, and a long duration. In contrast, the vowel /i/ has a high F1 value, a low F2 value, and a short…

AI-based bots (ChatGPT) are capable of solving mathematics problems, and students often use them for homework preparation, self-learning, etc. This raises a number of didactical and technical questions: How can students submit assignments containing complex mathematical expressions using only a keyboard? How should mathematics errors in ChatGPT's…

Learning Analytics tools are employed to assess student engagement with the Virtual Campus in an undergraduate Fluid Mechanics course at university level in Spain. This is aimed at obtaining a diagnosis of the course problematics which include low attendance rates, poor performance on activity tests and exams and a high number of re-enrolments. A…

The introduction of computing education into curricula worldwide requires multi-year assessments to evaluate the long-term impact on learning. However, no single Computational Thinking (CT) assessment spans primary school, and no group of CT assessments provides a means of transitioning between instruments. This study therefore investigated…

This study investigates the effectiveness of a modified flipped classroom that integrated with a technology-enhanced Predict-Observe-Explain strategy to improve students' self-regulated learning abilities, learning performance and science process skills in a secondary school in Hong Kong. An experimental group of modified flipped classroom (n =…

Drawing on multiple case study methods, this article examines how two elementary teachers in differing classroom contexts (English as a second language and English medium) enacted and adapted literacy instruction for their multilingual learner (ML) students. We analyze their practice in relation to approaches to teaching reading informed by the…
