Agency is a core pedagogical goal of the maker education movement. However, there are still many unknowns about how agency is identified in maker settings. To document maker educator professional visions of agency, we conducted video-cued interviews with eleven U.S-based maker educators using video clips of families making in a drop-in…

To address the problem of poor efficacy in hybrid learning in higher education, this study conducted a mix-method explanatory case study with structural equation modelling to examine a new construct, "perceived pedagogical value" (PPV), and its relationship with the core constructs of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of…

This study aimed to analyze articles published in the Web of Science database from 2012 to 2021 to examine the educational goals and instructional designs for STEM education. We selected articles based on the following criteria: (a) empirical research; (b) incorporating instructional design and strategies into STEM teaching; (c) including…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how high school teachers describe problem-based learning as an instructional model for student learning in various academic disciplines in the United States. The research was grounded in constructivist learning theory and Problem-based learning (PBL). The study addressed two research…

While much work has been done to promote and advance convergence education over the past decade, a distinct and common framework is beneficial to the concept of convergence education being adopted and universally recognized. Therefore, based on extensive literature review and stakeholder engagement, the IWGC developed a definition and overarching…

This study, is aimed at 1) synthesizing the conceptual framework of the problem-based learning process with a cloud learning environment (PBL-CLE process), 2) developing the PBL-CLE process, and 3) studying the result of the development of the PBL-CLE process. The research instruments include 1) the conceptual framework, 2) the PBL-CLE process to…

Recent advances in teaching, many of which incorporate elements of active learning, seek to provide students with learning experiences indicative of real-world problem solving. Problem-based learning (PBL) is one form of active learning that challenges students to address open-ended problems. In this work, we evaluate the efficacy of PBL in…

STEM is becoming widespread as an education model in many countries today, and it has been included in the curriculum in our country, and the need for teachers trained in this field has emerged. The purpose of this study, in which the case study method, one of the qualitative research methods, is used, is to examine the skills of Physics-Chemistry…

We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed scenario-based learning (SBL) module considering students' academic achievement, in-class engagement, and learner/teacher satisfaction. Third-year students in a 6-year medical education program, who had preexperience in problem-based learning, studied in small groups with facilitators…

This article describes an empirical study to evaluate how the flipped learning (FL) approach has impacted a learner's perception in attaining the graduate attributes (GAs) of five capstone project units offered at Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, where the authors are affiliated. The subjects include one undergraduate and one…
