During the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions around the world were forced to close and the academic process continued online. Online teaching can support students' learning, but little research exists in the foundational early primary years (children aged 4-8). The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers' practices and…

Integrating computational thinking into K-12 Education has been a widely explored topic in recent years. Particularly, effective assessment of computational thinking can support the understanding of how learners develop computational concepts and practices. Aiming to help advance research on this topic, we propose a data-driven approach to assess…

There have been significant advances in science and technology in recent years. Therefore, all countries need qualified people who can take on the challenges of life today and compete in the international arena. This has led countries to adopt new approaches to education. STEM education is one of the latest examples of those approaches. This study…

Model-based inquiry (MBI) is an instructional framework designed around the construction, revision, and testing of models by students to make sense of and explain a phenomenon (Windschitl et al. 2008). Focusing on explaining natural phenomena provides a specific context for students to learn and apply scientific understandings to and can help…

Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) carry a substantial instructional role in introductory courses for many mathematics and statistics departments. As a result, many GTAs have first-hand influence on the initial statistical impressions of students from a range of disciplines. But as simultaneous learners of the discipline themselves, GTAs in…

With the development of mobile communication technology and the widespread popularization of mobile devices, mobile learning (m-learning) as a new learning model has achieved rapid development in many fields. Therefore, it is essential to clearly describe the knowledge development trajectory and research topics in the field of m-learning. This…

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) are educational systems that reflect knowledge using artificial intelligence implements. In this paper, we give an outline of the Programming-Tutor architectural design with the core implements on user interaction. This pilot proposal is for designing a model domain of a subset in the computer programming…

The central importance of evolution to all biological sciences is recognised by many authors. Despite this scientific consensus, the theory of evolution is commonly presented as one discrete topic among many in the biology curriculum. Possible reasons for this scenario include discomfort with the content, ideological opposition and teachers'…

LEGO® stop-motion animations were developed to engage first-year university students in the topics of matrices, vectors, linear geometry and linear transformations. LEGO® provided a versatile medium through which a wide range of concrete and abstract concepts could be physically demonstrated in both two and three dimensions. It was also familiar…

Collaborative learning has been advocated for the last several decades. However, classroom practice has indicated that this method often comes with challenges and low efficiency, suggesting the need for better support for teachers. The aim of this study is to explore teachers' learning about collaborative learning in a professional development…

New reforms in science education call for three-dimensional learning by integrating disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and "crosscutting concepts" (CCCs). These reforms defined the new term, crosscutting concept (CCC), as a lens that has explanatory power across disciplines. To describe how researchers are…

Currently, masses of studies on mathematics learning getting to know have been discovered in numerous literatures supported by the use of blended learning model. This meta-analysis study aims at determining the overall effect of using blended learning. This study analyses 36 effect sizes from ERIC documents, Google scholar, and repositories from…

Background: This paper examines ensemble learning in the context of ballet. We use more-than-representational theory to account for the "invisible" dimensions of ensemble learning, such as sensations, energy, or intensity that bodies sense, circulate, and evoke in others. We illuminate the mobile architectures that emerge in ensemble…

Background: Physics is often presented as disembodied, separating learners from opportunities to utilize their bodies as sense-making resources. By ignoring issues of body, ethnicity and culture, these framings limit access to physics for many, including Black girls, who struggle to gain access to physics. Studying the situated, embodied cultural…

In organizational behavior, management, and leadership courses, the topic of power is often a focal point. However, as with many theories and concepts, students sometimes struggle to see the management and leadership applications until examples are used to highlight the theories and concepts in practice. In this article, we outline how a classic…
