As a high-impact practice, peer mentoring programs are used in a variety of contexts, with a variety of outcomes for mentees. Peer mentoring programs present a unique experience for mentors to develop leadership skills. However, gaps in the literature expose the need for a greater understanding of peer mentor leadership practice and more…

Background/purpose: The application of learning models is expected to significantly promote the enhancement of students' problem-solving abilities through the development of interactive learning models. This study aims to (1) determine whether the Development of the Component Display Theory (CDT) Model is categorized as valid, practical, and…

The level of digital literacy development has been explored internationally. As a part of a larger doctoral thesis, the levels of digital literacy in health care academics was collected (n=52) from universities across England. The framework selected was A Health and Care Digital Capabilities Framework, and a model of development was created using…

Each year, nursing schools spend more on classroom supplies at the nursing lab to help nursing students develop their practical skills before clinical internships. To teach nursing students how to prepare for their experience in the clinic, the nursing school needs to purchase a variety of teaching tools. The objective of this study was to create…

Our technological, information-rich society thrives because of scientific thinking. However, a comprehensive theory of the development of scientific thinking remains elusive. Building on previous theoretical and empirical work in conceptual change, the role of credibility and plausibility in evaluating scientific evidence and claims, science…

This article seeks to contribute to the reflection around the training of future designers regarding teamwork. Collaboration, teamwork and negotiations are common everyday interactions that are now known to contribute positively to the design process. This article builds on a theoretical model that was initially proposed as a Ph.D. thesis…

Example-generation tasks have been suggested as an effective way to both promote students' learning of mathematics and assess students' understanding of concepts. E-assessment offers the potential to use example-generation tasks with large groups of students, but there has been little research on this approach so far. Across two studies, we…

Modern medical training consists largely of lecture-based instruction and in vivo or video modeling of specific skills. Other instructional methods, such as teaching with acoustical guidance (TAGteach), have rarely been evaluated. In this study, we compared teaching with tactile guidance, or tactile TAGteach in which a vibratory stimulus is…

The debate about whether the capacity of working memory (WM) varies with the complexity of memory items continues. This study employed novel experimental materials to investigate the role of complexity in WM capacity. Across seven experiments, we explored the relationship between complexity and WM capacity. The results indicated that the…

Purpose: Generativity, defined as care for the next generation, is a hallmark of developmental theory (Erikson, 1950). Mentoring is an antecedent to generativity (Doerwald "et al.," 2021), with college students who mentor demonstrating higher generativity than their peers (Hastings "et al.," 2015). Yet no research has studied…

The reasons for teaching programming in school are indeed manifold. Programming can for example be utilized as a vehicle for understanding and learning particular mathematical subject matter, or as a tool for solving mathematical problems. In this paper, however, we propose to utilize programming as a vehicle for developing mathematical…

In Austria, binding training objectives are defined for the company-based part of dual training (approximately 70-80 per cent of total training time), but there are scarcely any normative specifications on how these are to be achieved and there is no systematic quality assurance of the practice. The conditions under which vocational training…

Leadership is often conceptualized and taught through famous, world-changing individuals; however, leadership spans levels of influence, from small-group projects to global initiatives. While student leaders are present at every level, existing leadership research and programs center adults. Within this article, Lisa DaVia Rubenstein, Sydney…

This paper presents a systematic review of the application models, affects, and performance outcomes of VR/AR in vocational education. The analysis is based on journal articles retrieved from renowned databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO, spanning from January 2000 to January 2022. It highlights the pedagogical value of VR/AR in…

The Tactical Games Model (TGM) is summarized as a physical education model where the emphasis is on developing the underlying core components of games and sports to develop the tactical and performance skills of participants, known as game performance (Metzler, 2011). The Sport Education Model (SEM) is a physical education model structured and…
