The multiple synchronous smart classroom learning environment (MSSC) is an alternative educational context that describes several active learning classrooms, connected through synchronous broadcasting technology. MSSC provides conceptually new capabilities to maximise both student learning and instructor efficiency. However, MSSC lacks an…

Rather than providing all the required information as classroom exercises typically do, this international purchase and intermodal transportation competitive in-class exercise intentionally holds back selected supply chain details. This inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach simulates a real-world Distribution Requirements Planning scenario by…

The introduction of digital tools in response to instructional needs require the development of accompanying teaching approaches guiding their application. This study aimed to identify one such approach in upper-secondary education language teaching with response technology (RT), and situate it within the existing field of research on applied RT.…

Student perceived engagement and student perceived learning are important concepts in today's higher education classroom environment. Examining engagement from the students' perspective is an important aspect to understand more about this multidimensional construct as a tool for active learning. A survey was administered to undergraduate business…

It is important for students in the built environment related disciplines to acquire subject-based knowledge and skills from reflecting on their experience. In return, the learning-by-doing approach has been widely adopted in the academic cluster of built environment. To further strengthen this, this paper proposes a Virtual Reality (VR) based…

This article presents an in-class exercise that teaches students how to call elected officials about a course-related issue of their choice. The goals are to connect classroom learning with real-life action, to show that contacting elected officials need not be difficult or intimidating, and to help students develop a sense of efficacy that can…

This research focuses on how teachers' self-efficacy changes as a result of a project consultancy training and their views on project-based learning. The study group of the research consists of 47 teachers working in Ministry of National Education who participated in "2237 coded Project Consultancy Trainer Training" program organized in…

Global software engineering has changed the way software is developed today. To address the new challenges, many universities have launched specially tailored courses to train young professionals to work in globally distributed projects. However, a mere acknowledgment of the geographic, temporal, and cultural differences does not necessarily lead…

A proven and popular teaching method, the Project Approach engages the natural curiosity of children through in-depth investigations of topics that capture their interest. Now there's a guidebook that helps you use this child-centered approach to reach and teach all learners in your early childhood classroom--regardless of background or ability.…

This qualitative study provides baseline data on young learner attitudes towards the use of technology in primary schools. Through individual interviews, the students highlighted the importance of its application and acknowledged its potential in the education process. The benefits that they put forward are grouped into four categories:…

The Learning Assistant (LA) model is a successful peer support model for increasing student learning gains, LA's content understanding, and recruitment of well-prepared K-12 science teachers. LAs are undergraduates who facilitate active learning in a classroom while simultaneously taking a course in pedagogy and working with the faculty instructor…

Research in the past ten years has shown that there has been a lack of professionals to fill the jobs available in science. One possible reason for the lack of participation in science fields lies in students' beliefs in their ability to do science, or science self-efficacy, which is linked to interest and achievement. Their perceptions of science…

Participation in the science workforce is low, and this can be partially attributed to low retention rates of undergraduate students who initially declare a science major. Low retention rates are further exacerbated for under-represented minority (URM) and first-generation (FG) college students pursuing science, and the existence of achievement…

Peer feedback is essential for learning in project-based disciplines. However, students often need guidance when acting as either a feedback provider or a feedback receiver, both to gain from peer feedback and to criticize their peers' work. This paper explores how to more effectively scaffold this exchange such that peers more deeply engage in…

Purpose: This study aims to present theory, practice and original research findings to support the proposition that broad enquiry and problem-based learning (EPBL) approaches provide an appropriate pedagogical lens for sustainability educators to develop the knowledge and skills needed to work effectively within mission-oriented innovation policy…
