The current environmental situation is in a state of crisis, marked by the phenomenon of global warming, which reveals a worsening scenario that is gradually encroaching closer to us. There is a pressing need for global collaboration to address these issues through environmental education and to ensure long-term sustainability. Environmental…

This study examines the effectiveness of digital simulation-based training (DSBT) for acquiring complex knowledge and skills. After identifying key aspects of DSBT, it explains how they were used to design a new DSBT activity with Minecraft Education® for teaching agile project management to dispersed students. It then presents a theoretically…

Background: Robot programming can simultaneously cultivate learners' computational thinking (CT) and spatial thinking (ST). However, there is a noticeable gap in research focusing on the micro-level development patterns of learners' CT and ST and their interconnections. Objectives: This study aims to uncover the intricate development patterns and…

Learning gain in higher education, specifically the development of subject-adjacent skills, abilities and competencies, is of key scholarly and policy relevance. However, little research focuses on students' broad understandings of learning gain. This paper takes a phenomenographic approach to explore students' conceptions of learning gain, and…

Beekeeping in Nepal has a rich history, and training programs have emerged as transformative agents in the industry's development. This study assesses the effectiveness of quality queen production training offered by the Beekeeping Development Program in Chitwan, Nepal held in March/April 2023. The research design employed a quantitative approach…

Experiential learning, which emphasizes gaining new skills, knowledge, and perspectives through experiences, has become one of the most influential models for transforming students' learning and development in a variety of contexts from academic settings to workplace training programs. The current body of research on the assessment of experiential…

The adult service system does not adequately meet the needs of autistic adults, prompting families to continue their supportive roles. Siblings frequently assume these roles when parents are no longer able to do so, often without preparation or planning. We received feedback on the proposed Siblings FORWARD (Focusing on Relationships, Well-being,…

Discovery-based learning is characterized by a learning environment where students are not passive observers but actively construct new knowledge, which is expected to contribute to their cognitive development. Since it is desirable for students to reflect on their physical actions during this process and considering the positive effects of using…

This research is aimed at examining the effects of developing research competencies to enhance the current learning of student teachers at Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University. This study focuses on participants before, during, and after the implementation of the proposed model. The sample consists of 35 fourth-year students enrolled in the Bachelor…

This study investigates the development of students' problem-solving skills in technology-enhanced learning (TEL) environments, focusing on the interplay between domain knowledge, metacognitive strategies, and fading scaffolding. Through a design-based research approach, we engaged three eighth-grade classes (N=75) in a physics-based…

This volume examines critically the acquisition of religious knowledge and skills, arguing that religious literacy--like other foundational competencies--should be developed within public education. Despite its importance, this subject has been largely overlooked in educational research and policy. Bringing together 18 contributions from leading…

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of the model-lead-test (MLT) and video modeling (VM) methods in teaching individuals with ID how to access and use the services provided by the Turkish state in digital environments. Four individuals participated in the study, in which the adapted alternating treatments design, one of…

This study examined the data science career preference, data science skills, and core competencies of 416 students from fourteen Nigerian universities using a Google Forms-created structured online questionnaire. A convenience sampling technique was adopted to select the participants. Data were analysed using both descriptive and inferential…

Hands-on activities promote interest in engineering, but their use in primary education is under pressure due to doubts about their effect on learning. Based on the Challenge Point Framework, we hypothesized that an adaptive approach in which a pupil starts with tasks at its level of prior knowledge would raise the learning results of hands-on…

Learning of motor skills in physical education classes occurs through different instructional approaches: via instructional explanations from the teacher (I), and via self-determined practice (problem-solving; PS). In our study, we explored whether the sequence of PS and I impacts performance enhancement among primary school children learning…
