The role of teachers is an important element of online project-based learning courses. Based on the Community of Inquiry framework, this study examined how students' perceptions of teaching presence, through social presence and cognitive presence, were related to their evaluations of online project-based learning. A 16-week online project-based…

This study explores the impact of an action-oriented environmental education course on students' environmental awareness, with 53 college students divided into experimental (N = 27) and control (N = 26) groups. Both groups participated in similar learning activities; however, the experimental group further recorded the amount of waste discharged…

This paper introduces lessons designed to incorporate applications to teaching high school mathematics in an undergraduate Discrete Mathematics course. Because many prospective high school teachers do not take courses that are specifically designed for teachers, providing materials aimed at teacher preparation that can be easily integrated into…

Inquiry-based science education (IBSE) has made a massive entry in science education classes. Students work with their competence development through inquiry. Such an approach calls for new strategies from the teachers to help students learn through inquiry. This study takes a descriptive approach to teachers' understanding and usage of such…

Purpose: In today's global business environment, business learners and employees must adapt to ever-changing challenges.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of active learning on students' achievement in the unit of magnetism. It is important to create proper teaching environments in order to ensure the active participation of students in learning processes. Many different methods and techniques may be used for active participation. Detailed…

The normal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) captures fundamental concepts covered in the principles of cardiac electrophysiology. First year osteopathic medical students recorded their own 12-lead ECG tracings in a laboratory session that also included completing a guided worksheet where they interpreted their 12-lead ECG results. Student feedback…

This descriptive case study explored the presence of a community of inquiry among 4492 secondary learners enrolled in four asynchronous online discussion forums over a full year. The forums (Ethics and Philosophy, Reading, Astronomy and Space, and General Debates, among others not studied) were external to the students' schools across England. The…

When asked about school mathematics, students rarely describe it as meaningful or relevant. Research shows that students are more engaged when they are challenged to think critically, and can connect the content to their lived experiences. This "Equity Tool" is designed to assist educators in reviewing curricula to determine if it…
