This article shows conditions for how an educational digital tool can open doors to an increasingly playful world -- and address some of the issues with introducing digital maths in early childhood education. Guided by a design-based research approach, the multimodal design of the educational app-based game DigiMat was iteratively created by a…

Immersive virtual reality (VR) is a technology that can be effective for procedural skills training through game-based simulations such as serious games. The current study describes the instructional design, development, and evaluation of the FSCHOOL fire preparedness serious game in a cave automatic virtual environment (CAVE-VR) for elementary…

Students' engagement with feedback is a major determinant of feedback effectiveness. There is evidence, however, that not all students engage with feedback well because the transmission, teacher-centred approach overlooks students' role in feedback processes. This study explores how learner-centred feedback processes could be designed to enhance…

This paper describes a student-faculty partnership that took place in a context of curricular co-creation. Through qualitative analysis of reflections written by both instructors and students, the authors track participants' perceptions throughout the course of a curriculum design module. This process is characterised by the emergence of ownership…

Sustainable literacy in language learning and teaching is a relatively new area of research. The majority of volumes and articles have been published since 2010. This bibliographical review traces the main factors influencing the development of sustainable literacy in foreign language (FL) learning and teaching: ecolinguistics, the ecology…

Damage to the natural environment (floods, pollution) and social (decreased manners) becomes the focus of education to reduce its bad impact. Prevention of damage to the natural environment through learning biology, but the application of environmental education through religious subjects, so that the two curricula are expected to synergize with…

Small teaching approaches are well-structured, incremental teaching improvement techniques supported by research in cognitive science, memory, and learning. I systematically implement a series of small teaching activities in an introductory programming course to tackle the teaching and learning challenges faced by instructors and students. The…

Educational technologies have the potential to expand access to education to a wider range of people, including those currently without access to high-quality learning opportunities. However, this promise is largely unfulfilled (see S. Protopsaltis and S. Baum, "Does online education live up to its promise? A look at the evidence and…

The study of secondary mathematics involves many ideas, but too often high school mathematics curriculum materials and instruction begin by giving students the vocabulary first, along with definitions, before students have been able to explore the ideas. Particularly for students bureaucratically designated as English Learners, preteaching…

The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum recognizes approaches to learning skills (ATLS) as an integral part of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) framework.

This study explores how South Korean teachers' beliefs about social justice teaching intersect with their intergroup contact experiences when teaching migrant students under expanded curriculum autonomy. A comparative qualitative case study approach was used, drawing on interviews, classroom observations, and stimulated recalls. The findings…

We estimate how much the average grade of students enrolled in introductory macroeconomics changes when the professor sends a reminder email. We utilize observational data to implement a difference-in-differences strategy and identify the plausibly causal effect of email nudges on the student's grade. The professor's reminder email boosts…
