Science and drawing have been paired for hundreds of years, and this synergy is still prevalent in research investigating the role of drawing for developing and assessing understanding. However, despite research at the primary and secondary levels of education, there is limited research on whether drawing facilitates learning at the undergraduate…

The aims of the study were to investigate secondary school technology teachers' conceptions of technology teaching (COTT) in Beijing, China. Data were collected through individual interviews with 13 technology teachers at 10 secondary (including both middle and upper) schools of Beijing. The methodological framework for the study was based on…

This paper presents a novel design for an upper-level undergraduate statistics course structured around data rather than methods. The course is designed around curated datasets to reflect real-world data science practice and engages students in experiential and peer learning using the data science competition platform Kaggle. Peer learning is…

This study reports on EFL teachers' self-reported teaching practices aimed at stimulating students' language awareness.

Many physical education teacher education (PETE) programs have adopted FITNESSGRAM® as the preferred method to assess teacher candidate fitness levels. The rationale, however, is unclear. This article presents fitness testing results of PETE candidates using FITNESSGRAM® with the aim to evaluate its appropriateness. 86 PETE students participated…

Recently, machine learning (ML) has evolved and finds its application in higher education (HE) for various data analysis.
