Background: There is a well-known gender disparity in the engineering field. Three of the most important factors related to the participation of women in engineering are differences in perceived societal relevance, technical self-efficacy, and tinkering self-efficacy. Purpose/Hypothesis: Soft robotics is a relatively new engineering application…

This paper investigates how Japanese mathematics teachers produce and share didactic knowledge together. It is a case study of a post-lesson reflection meeting so-called "open lesson." The crucial idea of this study is the dialectic between the "specific" and "generic" level of "foci" of the participants'…

In this guided-inquiry lesson, students were tasked with determining the efficacy of an at-home drinking water filter at removing lead (Pb) from tap water using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy by determining the concentration of lead before and after filtration. The lesson was structured to allow students to choose and perform…

This study explored the effects of teachers' individual reflection (IR) and group reflection (GR) on critical incidents (CIs). A group of preservice teachers (N = 7) were presented with real instances of CIs to consider during 12 teacher training sessions. In each session, the trainees read the first part of a CI, describing what happened, when it…

This article explores a long-standing criticism of the task-based language teaching (TBLT) approach regarding the applicability of TBLT to curricula in English as a foreign language (EFL) settings and, specifically, whether authentic tasks can be designed for EFL learners.

Unexpected developments in an environment often drive the evolutionary process. This is as true for the evolution of societies as it is for species. The effective evolution of education will involve knowing what the key adaptation factors are and making them central to how educators respond to shifts in socio-pedagogical environments on local,…

This research is generally conducted to solve the difficulties of students in understanding courses in mathematics education especially in the real analysis course, in addition, this research specifically aims to examine, describe and compare differences in the ability to think mathematically critically between students who obtain learning concept…

The study aims to explore the difference between static infographics (SIs) and animated infographics (AIs) for developing e-learning and computer skills as well as increasing achievement motivation in students enrolled in e-learning and computer skills course in the second term of 2018/2019 at the Preparatory Year Program at the University of…

The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of EMBE-R and verification strategies in eliminating the rate of reaction (RR) misconceptions on different scientific reasoning capabilities (SRC) and improving students' understanding of concepts in chemical equilibrium (CE). This quasi-experimental design involved two homogeneous…

Narrow reading has the potential to reduce vocabulary load and to provide rich opportunities for developing collocation knowledge, but these benefits rely on narrow reading increasing lexical repetition within a text. Hence, interest in narrow reading has been limited by the relatively small lexical effect of narrowing reading by topic (Nation,…
