The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the Bioinformatics course to switch from on-site teaching to remote learning. This shift has prompted a change in teaching methods and laboratory activities. Students need to have a basic understanding of DNA sequences and how to analyze them using custom scripts. To facilitate learning, we have modified the course…

COVID-19 caused widespread changes in how people worked. The education community was dramatically impacted. Teachers were forced to quickly pivot from teaching students in person on-campus to virtually online. Among the challenges educators faced were the inequity of technology access and unreliable internet options. The move to virtual…

Proof, as a central and integral part of mathematics, is an essential component of mathematical education and is considered as the basic procedure for revealing the truth of mathematical propositions and for teaching productive reasoning as part of human civilization. Is there therefore room for conjectures in mathematics? In this paper after…

Wargames and crisis simulations can be useful pedagogical tools when deliberately used. This paper explores the spectrum of pedagogical objectives; what use are wargames for learning? What types of objectives can they explore? How do you align the learning objectives with the right type of game? The paper leverages Bloom's Taxonomy of learning as…

This chapter investigates the dual role of Generative AI (GenAI) in providing support and feedback to students and in reshaping formative and summative educational assessments, addressing both the burgeoning opportunities for enhancing teaching methodologies and the associated ethical challenges. There is a focus on the necessity for balanced…

Two scientific and systematic evaluation index systems are constructed for primary education APP and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. These systems are revised and confirmed through two rounds of Delphi method. The Delphi method determines an educational application (APP) evaluation index system containing four…

Artificial intelligence tools have presented many challenges and opportunities to transform teaching and learning on college campuses. These changes are significant enough to require colleges to take action to create a framework by which faculty and students can navigate the proper usage of these tools. Rather than working to create entirely new…

The paper argues that there is a need for new approaches to teaching proof with newly-available technology. It contributes to filling this need by opening a discussion on digital proof assistants, programs that allow one to do mathematics with the aid of a computer, construct proofs, and check their correctness. The paper starts by exploring such…

This paper presents a novel method for introductory teaching of the sample linear correlation coefficient from a bivariate dataset. Linear correlation is typically included in curriculums at the secondary and introductory tertiary levels of education. The method discussed herein can be used by educators in elementary courses at either of these…

With reference to the framework in The International Data Science in Schools Project, this paper aims to discuss the course design, teaching and learning, and assessment of a foundation course offered in an undergraduate statistics and data science programme. SAS® University Edition (a free software package) is adopted in this foundation course.…

Monte Carlo simulation is a useful tool for researchers to estimated accuracy of a statistical model. It is usually used for investigating parameter estimation procedure or violation of assumption for some given conditions. To run a simulation either the paid software or open source but free program such as R is need to be used. For that,…

A wide variety of modern chess software products is available to the modern professional and amateur chess players alike, helping them improve their chess skills and prepare for online and traditional tournaments. These products include chess user interfaces (UIs), traditional Alpha-Beta (AB) and emergent Neural Network (NN) chess engines, game…

Ever increasing technological progress opens novel opportunities concerning educational activities, and the ability to use the technology effectively is one of the 21st century's most demanding skills. The Partnership Forum for 21st-Century Skills (P21) states that no organization can achieve satisfying results without using technology and…

All teachers need ongoing coaching that helps them recognize areas of strength and need for teaching students with disabilities. Unfortunately, the amount, quality, and speed with which teachers receive feedback from coaches, administrators, mentors, or other instructional leaders on their academic and behavior management practices is limited. In…

The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated the importance of being able to understand complex computational models for everyday life. To make sense of the evolving predictive models of the COVID-19 pandemic, global citizens need to have a firm grasp of both systems thinking (ST) and computational thinking (CT). ST is the ability to understand a problem…
