This paper presents methodology aimed at developing a rich understanding of the interplay of mathematical progress in the different social settings in which learning in inquiry-oriented classrooms occurs: individually; in small groups; and as a whole class. For this purpose, we enhance a theoretical-methodological approach of coordinating…

The concepts of bacteriology are still poorly understood by students of the Department of Biology Education, Mulawarman University. Certain ethnic characteristics influence student learning processes and outcomes. A quasi-experiment was carried out at the Department of Biology Education, Mulawarman University in the even semester of the 2022/2023…

This study presents the Terele-model (TEaching, REsearch, LEarning) -- an easy-to-use model that distinguishes different levels of connection between teaching, research and learning. To do this the study uses Johari windows to show clearly and intuitively the five different levels of action and interaction between the teacher and the student. At…

We are interested in the transformative potentials of intersubjectivity as it is enacted through second-person contemplative approaches. Our work here focuses on contemplative practice as a pedagogy that reveals and enacts intersubjectivity within postsecondary education. How might contemplative higher education practice as a pedagogy enable…

This article builds upon current research to understand the value and limitations of teaching and learning design thinking (DT) in higher education. We implemented a mixed-methods study with faculty and students across 23 diverse courses in four higher education institutions in the United States. Findings showed that following structured learning…

Constructive alignment is often promoted as a principle to enhance the quality of learning but the student perspective has often been neglected when exploring its influence on student learning. There is therefore a need to further explore how students' experiences of the different elements of constructive alignment influence the approach to…

Active learning strategies are being increasingly valued by instructors and implemented in higher education. However, mixed outcomes exist regarding learning, exam results, and student preferences for active learning compared to traditional lectures. A convenience sample of 26 first-year graduate students participated in a study that examined the…

Small group interactions and interactions with near-peer instructors such as learning assistants serve as fertile opportunities for student learning in undergraduate active learning classrooms. To understand what students take away from these interactions, we need to understand how and what they learn during the moment of their interaction. This…

This study aimed to learn the subjective experiences of higher education business students pursuing intercultural development goals. As part of their academic programs students completed the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) assessment and received intercultural competency scores. Subsequently, they created personal goals to further…

Student engagement is an impactful component of student experience in mathematics classrooms and can shape academic and affective outcomes. The measurement of engagement in classroom settings has been limited to self-report measures or observational frameworks which privilege verbal participation. By conducting a microanalysis of two students'…

The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework has gained widespread recognition as a theoretical model for understanding student learning in online environments. Despite its prevalence, CoI has been critiqued for its limited emphasis on learners' proactive roles in self-regulating their own learning. To address this, researchers have suggested…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) is a vital 21st-century skill. Ill-structured problems demand effective shared regulation from teams to enhance CPS success. While socially shared metacognitive regulation (SSMR) is crucial in CPS, a deeper understanding of its nature is needed. This study investigates the detailed operationalization of SSMR in…

This study aims to understand the patterns of conduct, forms of action, role construction, role performance and institutional nexus of behavior that characterize the social role of academics and students in undergraduate Accounting courses through the adoption of active methods for education. A qualitative, multiple case study was developed…

This paper is framed by Nick Zepke's, Vicki Trowler's, and Paul Trowler's concept of student engagement being "chaotic", suffering from "indigestion" and "fuzziness". This study was conducted at a UK higher education institution that recently moved to a "block and blend" delivery approach. We investigated…

This study explored the learning patterns of undergraduate students in Kuwait using Vermunt's model and investigated the relationships between these patterns, cognitive engagement, and academic achievement. The ILS was used to identify the learning patterns of 563 university students. The three identified learning patterns were "active,…
