During the digital age, self-directed learning has emerged as an effective teaching strategy in designing class activities within the educational sphere, prompting an investigation into its impact on the effectiveness of instruction in the K-12 context. This article presents a meta-analysis aimed at examining the efficacy of self-directed learning…

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,…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures globally, leading to significant learning regression in academic performance, skills, and ethical development. This study aims to: 1) synthesize and develop an adaptive micro-learning model based on Dhamma principles using mixed reality (MR), 2) compare pre- and post-test results, and 3) assess the…

In this conceptual article, we propose a new approach to investigating changeable factors in teaching. Using a constructivist approach as a conceptual framework, we argue for investigating changeable factors recognizing their malleability and suggest studying teaching as a set of natural experiments. Methodologically, we propose an abductive…

The purpose of this research was to explain why many people do not like mathematics and find it difficult because it is difficult to understand or because a teacher they had did not give the appropriate weight. The methodology used in this research was the quantitative method. The sample was collected through electronic questionnaires involving…

This research aimed to find a strategy to integrate web-based learning based on authentic learning by identifying the dominant factors regarding teachers' authentic activities. The research method was a teacher survey that used web-based learning. Questionnaires were given to 100 teachers regarding the use of authentic activities. The…

Originating in adult education, the approach of task-based language teaching (TBLT) has been promoted in young language learner (YLL) education. However, its application often encounters challenges due to varying interpretations of what constitutes a "task." Previous research has repeatedly highlighted gaps in teachers' understanding of…

This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate the feasibility of an activity titled "Space Adventure for Little Explorers", integrating the engineering and entrepreneurship design model within the STEM education framework into preschool education. The activity was structured in four stages: (1) Discovery with the Family, (2)…

Due to the pandemic, many students have been forced to study remotely. This study aims to investigate the impact of online collaboration scripts on learning outcomes in virtual reality (VR) co-creation learning activities during distance learning. The collaboration scripts were designed to foster students' remote teamwork. The participants…

"Introducing Engineering to K-8 Students" will provide you with the tools you need to incorporate engineering design into your classroom. Rather than prescribing a specific curriculum to follow, this book will help you engage your students with hands-on, open-ended engineering design problems that can be easily integrated into your…

The present study employed virtual reality technology to develop online learning environments that facilitated student cultural and self-directed learning. Junior high school participants engaged in creating virtual tours, sharing them with peers online, and implementing self-directed learning strategies. A one-group posttest-only design was…
