Limited literature addresses how elementary preservice teachers (PSTs) can advance their thinking about hierarchical geometric relationships. Informed by a commognitive perspective, we investigated this phenomenon as a matter of discursive change, focusing on word use, visual mediators, and narratives. We report on a teaching experiment involving…

Drawing is a teaching tool that provides numerous benefits to student learning, including enhanced knowledge retention, improved observation skills, and increased engagement with course content. However, these exercises also place high cognitive demands on students and require a considerable time commitment. To acknowledge and celebrate the effort…

The aim of this study was to test the notion of ecological citizenship empirically in the English language classroom in an underrepresented region, Latin America. A pedagogic project aimed at the development of students as ecological citizens was designed and implemented in 2019 in four English language classrooms in a public secondary school in…

A "map" is presented to describe the different stereochemical relationships among carbohydrates, in both the hexose and pentose series. When implemented, it allows chemistry students, teachers, and researchers to readily identify different sugars' stereochemical interconnections. It may also help orient chemists toward retrosyntheses, in…

This study was designed to micro-analyze the role of the design of interactive diagrams in learning-teaching the concept of the indefinite integral. The presented case study focuses on the engagement of one pair of 17-year-old students with an interactive diagram for graphically learning-teaching the indefinite integral concept. The authors…

Introduction: This study aimed to develop and establish psychometric properties of the Pictorial Vocational Interest Inventory (PVII), a vocational interest inventory for Indonesian adolescents presented in the form of picture pairs, specially developed to represent Holland's theoretical constructs. Method: To obtain the evidence of test content,…

Research synthesis is the practice of systematically distilling and integrating data from many studies in order to draw more reliable conclusions about a given research issue. When the first edition of "The Handbook of Research Synthesis and Meta-Analysis" was published in 1994, it quickly became the definitive reference for conducting…

In what appears to be a strategy of gaining visual salience and saturation, many schools have embarked on marketing campaigns using banners to display various school achievements. Important for visual cultural studies and the dispersal of neoliberal values, the proliferation and urban phenomenon of school banner advertisements beckon scholarly…

In order to learn the mappings from words to referents, children must integrate co-occurrence information across individually ambiguous pairs of scenes and utterances, a challenge known as cross-situational word learning. In machine learning, recent multimodal neural networks have been shown to learn meaningful visual-linguistic mappings from…

In response to healthcare reform, nursing education needs to expand beyond linear thinking and towards conceptual thinking as patients' needs become more complex. Concept mapping is an interactive visual tool that may encourage many cognitive and emotive processing tasks. The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of concept mapping in…

Recently, there has been a substantial amount of research on smart classrooms, encompassing a number of areas, including Information and Communication Technology, Machine Learning, Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing, and Hardware. Smart classroom research has been quickly implemented to enhance education systems, resulting in higher engagement and…

Classroom dynamics including interactions among peers and with teachers is a key component of students' STEM experiences, strongly influencing students' motivation to engage in the learning activities. Classroom dynamics and dialogue have been predominantly studied through longitudinal ethnographic observations of the classroom while the…

Quantum mechanics (QM) has become part of many secondary school curricula. These curricula often do not include the mathematical tools for a formal, mathematical introduction of QM. QM therefore needs to be taught at a more conceptual level, but making secondary school students understand counterintuitive QM concepts without introducing…

The correct use of micropipettes has been investigated in an undergraduate, introductory lab experiment intended for chemistry and biology majors. This lab experiment involves the use of micropipettes for accurately mixing, transferring, and applying a specific amount of dye to a cotton bandana. The data resulting from this experiment is a color…

This theoretical reflection implies the main proposal that the activities of planning and teaching are linked; it is the main ingredient to cognition and metacognition. Two main parts make up this article: a theoretical discussion of the linkage, detailing a descriptive letter and content to be taught in the classroom. Within this part, a…
