Expanding information related to environmental degradation is one potential approach to enhance students' environmental literacy and awareness (ecoliterate). This research investigates the relationship between students' skills in writing popular text-based articles and their ecological literacy. A quasi-experimental research design was employed…

Poor academic performance remains among the most concerning educational issues, especially in higher education and online learning. To address the concern, institutions like the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) leverage educational data mining (EDM) techniques to generate relevant information from learning management systems (LMS)…

While studies show the value of "playing" games for exploring complex geographical concepts, much less research considers the value of game "construction." Here we present the rationale, methodology and pedagogical affordances of an "intergenerational climate change game" creation assignment that formed part of a 2nd…

The students' dominant language might influence how they use and process a rubric and its subsequent effect on task performance. However, our knowledge about these effects is limited. This study investigates how the dominant language of students is associated with their rubric reading patterns and their task performance in a written landscape…
