Literature reviews about pedagogical innovations are of importance to determine further interventions for learning refinement and future research directions. The present study describes existing pedagogical innovations, identifies learning problems underlie the innovations, and outlines development models used for developing elementary mathematics…

Contribution: This article presents a project-based learning (PBL) activity for use in the instruction of network attacks on cyber-physical systems. Student learning is analyzed to determine the project's contribution to learning outcome attainment. Background: The literature contains a significant amount of research on the benefits of PBL as a…

The goals of science education include providing students with real-world learning experiences that connect directly to learning objectives and deepen student interest in science. Learning experiences that occur outside of the science classroom can help science educators respond to these goals. To encourage the use of learning environments beyond…

This study aimed at developing an imagineering learning process model with logical solutions by using documentary research and relevant experts' viewpoints with regard to the process of Imagineering Learning--problem-based learning (PBL) involving logical and computational thinking. The data were then synthesized in order to find the relationship…

The article considers the role and influence of professional creativity on the professional activities as an expression of the teacher's creative abilities. The purpose of the article is a theoretical and empirical study of the influence of professional creativity on the effectiveness of a teacher's professional activity. Attention is paid to the…

What is the impact on student learning when Education is taught through the Arts in a diploma level bridging course? This paper describes and analyses the experiences of 350 students when the expectation of a first-semester, first-year unit in an Education course is to devise and perform an ethnodrama -- a drama based on the lives of the students…

This article presents a thorough review of the literature dedicated to learning more about mixed methods research design. Explanatory sequential mixed methods studies and exploratory sequential mixed methods studies are the two types of mixed methods research design models that this article presents in detail. To contextualize different ideas…

Dr. Barbara E. Jensen was a Former Editor of the Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (MPEES) journal. In this role and through her teaching, scholarship, and other professional services, she made enormous contributions to the field of physical education and exercise science, with a key and immutable focus on the advancement of…

Evidence in the conventional literature points to the prospects of children as active agents in decision-making processes. This has also been emphasised in the participatory neighbourhood and city planning discourse. However, literature connecting a pronounced methodology like the 'mosaic approach' to participatory planning with children in…

Changes in technology and reading habits over the last decade have ushered in a new informational landscape. The Internet has become the central means by which children and adults form understandings of the world. Since readers on the Internet choose from a nearly unlimited selection of websites, they play a more active role in determining which…

The Engagement Model was launched in January 2020, endeavouring to address the weaknesses of the P-scales assessment for students not yet involved in a subject-specific curriculum. This paper will discuss how and if the tensions between previously adopted assessment systems as discussed in teacher interviews can be reconciled through the…

The Klein bottle and hairy ball theorem are important concepts in advanced mathematics and they are both examples of the Poincaré-Hopf theorem. Complex theories such as these usually remain unrealized in the minds of mathematicians. In this collaborative work between a mathematician and a designer, we introduce the concept of the hairy Klein…

This article presents a pedagogical strategy that uses Chex Mix™ as a visual and physical means of helping students learn data analysis. The manipulative is used to guide students to a deeper level of analysis by looking "within" and "between" data sources. Specific steps are shared about using Chex Mix™ snacks to teach the…

Summary statistics and data visualizations are often used to explore data and draw preliminary conclusions. Although valuable, these tools do not always reveal the underlying patterns and trends in the data and can sometimes be misleading. We describe an approach for teaching the need for more advanced statistical analysis using multiple linear…

Textbooks on Dynamical Systems Theory usually present only three types of codimension-one bifurcations occurring in autonomous first-order nonlinear differential equations. These three types are called saddle-node, transcritical, and pitchfork. However, the number of bifurcations is virtually infinite. In this didactic work, the bifurcation…
