This study investigates the efficiency of "segmented ludicization" in language learning, i.e., the method considering learners' cognitive processing in ludicized learning experiences. This method transforms traditional didactic environments into playable procedures involving intervals for learners' knowledge digestions and retrievals.…

Problem posing is a promising teaching method for enhancing motivation and performance in mathematics and more specifically in mathematical modelling. Hence, the goals of our study were twofold: (1) to examine the effects of problem posing on modelling performance, self-efficacy, and task values in solving modelling problems, and (2) to analyze…

Purpose: In the knowledge management (KM) literature, there are umpteen discussions on knowledge sharing; however, the scholarly community still faces a dearth of literature on knowledge hiding behavior (KHB) and its determinants. The current study aims to examine the direct effect of dark triad (DT) personality dimensions (machiavellianism,…

Health issues present significant and complex challenges to society. This study aimed to investigate research trends related to health issues as socioscientific issues (SSI). The SSI articles analysed were from three prominent data sources: Scopus, Google Scholar, and Pubmed. Articles were retrieved via Harzing's Publish or Perish application…

An off-campus practical course is one in which students receive practical training in a vocational workplace outside of their educational institution. These courses focus on practical skills rather than academic knowledge and are essential for students to gain real-world experience and develop skills needed in the modern workforce. The research…

Little is known about how culturally and linguistically diverse caregivers perceive their child's challenging behaviors. To gain an understanding of how caregivers' perceptions are influenced by their cultural backgrounds, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 Korean caregivers (Korean American = 10 caregivers; Korean caregivers in Korea…

This study aims to develop a comprehensive competency framework for artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, delineating essential competencies and sub-competencies. This framework and its potential variations, tailored to different learner groups (by educational level and discipline), can serve as a crucial reference for designing and implementing…

Background/purpose: This study aims to explore the research trends, influential contributors, and thematic developments in PBL within the context of school-level mathematics education over the period 2015-2024. Materials/methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on 430 documents indexed in the Scopus database. The analysis employed…

Background/purpose: Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in higher education serves as a foundation for shaping students' spiritual insight, moral reasoning, and critical reflection. However, conventional instructional approaches often lack contextual relevance and fail to engage learners deeply. This study explores the transformative potential of…

Background/purpose: The study examines the perceptions of teachers, school principals, and parents regarding the implementation of a tiered classification for students with learning difficulties (LD), categorizing them into mild, moderate, and severe levels. Materials/methods: Mixed-methods, quantitative, descriptive, and qualitative methodologies…

Models that illustrate renal fluid dynamics are scarce within the secondary and postsecondary landscape. This work summarizes the efforts to build a rudimentary model renal corpuscle (MRC) that can be employed in a problem-based learning exercise or demonstration to teach basic principles of renal physiology to secondary students or…

This paper examines the educational thought of Martianus Capella, a fifth-century Carthaginian writer, through his only surviving work "The Marriage of Mercury and Philology." The didactic handbook is an ode to learning, adorning a faltering introduction to the liberal arts with baroque mythological ornamentation. The paper highlights…

While previous work has highlighted the possible impacts of undertaking emotionally challenging research, it is only recently, particularly within the UK with the 2028 Research Excellence Framework focus on research culture, that this subject is starting to gain senior leadership attention. Funded by the UK Research and Innovation, Researcher…

Learners' challenging behaviour is a growing concern in primary schools. Reports reveal that many learners in South African primary schools are presenting with challenging behaviour - disrupting lessons, causing chaos, putting learners' and teachers' safety at risk, and interrupting school functionality. To understand this phenomenon, a systematic…

In this study, Q methodology was employed to explore instructional designers' perceptions of integrating ChatGPT in their design practices. Compared with traditional survey-based instruments that rely heavily on Likert-scale items, open-ended questions, interviews, or focus groups, Q methodology has the potential to systematically reveal and study…
