Background: Engineering students will be responsible for building new technologies that either mitigate or exacerbate future sustainability problems. Engineering educators are thus tasked with educating engineering students on the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that will make them change makers of the future. Purpose: The purpose of this…

Design thinking has become an important process in many fields to encourage innovation toward problem solving skills in various fields. In the field of education, design thinking has been incorporated into curriculums as it contributes both to higher order thinking skills and to the learning process with its flexible and dynamic nature. However,…

Non-interactive teaching, in which students explain previously learned content to a non-present peer, is a generative learning activity that has gained increasing attention in recent years. While meta-analyses indicate small-to-moderate benefits, findings have been inconsistent, suggesting that its effectiveness depends on contextual factors.…

The purpose of this study is to analyze in depth the relevance of Vygotsky's constructivism learning theory in differentiated learning in elementary schools. Differentiated learning is an effort to adapt the learning process in the classroom to meet the learning needs of each individual. This adjustment is made by considering the interests,…

Construction planning is vital to civil engineering projects, involving task coordination, resource estimation, and risk assessment. Traditional educational methods in Engineering management courses frequently lack real-world feedback, hindering understanding of students. To bridge this gap, this study aims to propose an educational approach…

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) large language model system, has taken the world by storm. Fearful that students would use ChatGPT to circumvent the learning process, multiple school districts in the U.S. have outright banned its use. Despite this, there are some who suggest that ChatGPT has the potential to reshape the field of education…

The 'schoolification' of early childhood education and care programs, seen as readying children for formalised schooling, has had an impact on the education of younger and younger age groups. While the focus of past research has mainly focused on 4-5-year-old children, this study shifts the focus to 2-3-year-old children and the literacy focus of…

In computer-assisted language learning (CALL), a variety of studies have explored the use of Virtual Exchange (VE) for shaping learners' cultural competence from the perspective of sociolinguistics. However, few studies have examined learners' psycholinguistic factors in this context. Since based on the dynamic complex system, students'…

Distance learning has become a necessity and a common practice, using electronic devices and the Internet to facilitate online classes and exams. One course in undergraduate electrical engineering is the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) course, which requires exposure to theoretical concepts as well as simulations. In this paper, we propose a…

A video lesson with generative learning activities has the potential to improve learning by engaging learners. However, existing literature regarding designing and implementing an interactive video lesson is insufficient. In the present study, we aimed to investigate: a) whether the use of the summarizing strategy would benefit learning via video…

In any educational setting, stigmatisation and implicit biases can stifle growth and reduce the quality of the learning experience of students from low socio-economic status by creating invisible barriers to opportunity and achievement. Furthermore, due to the lack of monitoring and mentoring, these invisible barriers become harder to detect and…

Purpose: This short article takes the play and passion of children's literacy as its focal point. Rather than orienting reading and writing around what should be taught or how children should respond and understand written text, in this short reflective essay we aim to explore the play and passion inherent in children's literacy practices. We do…

Many approaches to teaching Newman projections and conformational manipulation rely on lecturing using only two-dimensional representations. While molecular models are recognized as useful learning tools, students are often left to figure out how to use them during the initial learning process. The availability of basic online molecular models…

The study examines the development of 24 students' intercultural awareness and their attitudes towards intercultural activities based on Baker's (2022) model of Intercultural Awareness (ICA) in a course on English for Intercultural Communication. In addition to the university's course evaluation, pre- and post-test questionnaires, classroom…

Writing explanations is widely recognized as an effective strategy to promote meaningful learning outcomes. However, most research focused on writing explanations for fictitious peers, with limited investigation into the benefits of writing for actual peers, particularly considering the influence of peer relationship closeness. To address this…
