This study contributes to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning by expanding the investigative areas on the role of social capital in collaborative learning environments. This is done by examining aspired and experienced social capital in student reflections on team dynamics in online project teams and aligning student narratives to expected…

This paper presents a reflective analysis of a novel approach to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to teach abstract concepts in a large-class setting, specifically tailored for a third-year required undergraduate course, "Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering." The primary objective is to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes…

A central goal of lesson-centered professional development programs (PD) for mathematics teachers is to learn by constructing an artifact, for example, by designing and improving a lesson plan together. That leads to the questions, what does it mean, for mathematics teachers, to improve a lesson? And how can improvements be accounted for in the…

Background/purpose: Although mathematical representation ability is a significant ability and an interesting topic to study, quite a few researchers have studied this ability, and even fewer have examined it through the implementation of epistemic learning patterns based on problem-solving. In fact, this learning pattern is epistemic and makes…

Problem-posing has been regarded as a potential method to engage students in deeper thinking; however, without sufficient supports, most students could encounter difficulties in posing quality problems. In this study, a concept mapping-based online cooperative problem-posing (CM-OCPP) approach is proposed to guide students to complete…

The 21st century represents a time of worldwide interconnectedness that demands every individual to have digital knowledge and literacy. Science learning activities are important to help students learn and understand science and students' digital literacy. Learning that actively involves students will encourage students to find ideas. This study…

Globalization, the rise of the digital economy, and the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (Dean & Campbell, 2020; Sutherland & Symmons, 2013; Zegwaard et al., 2020) have contributed to the emergence of several modalities of work-integrated learning (WIL) in higher education. The result of all this activity has been a rise in the…

Teachers play a vital role in promoting societal change and guiding students toward a sustainable future. This research aims to develop and validate a scale, namely 'Teaching Styles for Sustainability Education (TSSE)' to assess teaching styles in sustainability education in Pakistan. The scale was developed and tested with students from nine…

In the post-pandemic era, distance education and training modes without space constraints are gradually becoming a new trend in training. Game-based training combined with situational simulations is a potential approach. This study used a simulation company scenario and a decision-making analysis task of promotion assessment as the game context,…

Problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability to in-person and virtual environments are critical for success today. Therefore, brick-and-mortar and online instructional models have shifted to ensure that K-12 students are prepared with these skills for 21st-century challenges. Grounded in systems theory, the study examined the inputs,…

One of the points of science learning is to extend students' competence, counting problem-solving and analytical thinking. Conditions within the field appear that most students encounter trouble in fathoming relevant issues including the application of science concepts in real-world circumstances. This condition appears the require for compelling…

Education in the 21st century has experienced many advances that are adjusted to the demands of the times. Thinking skills are in high demand in the 21st century, especially critical thinking and creative thinking skills for students. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of POPBL model learning in improving critical and creative thinking…

Inquiry-based learning is not common in secondary geography classrooms in the United States. The goal of this initial foray into design-based research was to maximize the potential of online video-case technology to disrupt this trend and support geography teachers in enacting high-quality problem-based geographic inquiry (PBGI). Informed by…

This present study aims to elaborate on the use of the problem-based method as an instructional strategy to produce an engaging online program that can facilitate the student's learning achievement. Since the students must interact actively with lecturers, other students, and course content, it is necessary that online learning involves the use of…

Supervision in higher education (HE) often balances the tension between fostering student autonomy and providing sufficient guidance, especially within undergraduate programs. This paper explores an under-researched area: the dynamics of group supervision in undergraduate education, specifically how students challenge their supervisor's expertise.…
