Pollard, Alison; Forss, Kim – American Journal of Evaluation, 2023
Quality Assessment Frameworks (QAFs) are standardized templates that include pre-defined criteria, open questions, or a combination to assess the quality of evaluations. They support organizations to limit risks associated with poor-quality evaluation. Qualitative research focused on four QAFs shows that five dimensions of quality are assessed…

Daian Huang; Jenna Mittelmeier; Josef Ploner – Journal of Studies in International Education, 2025
This study explores and compares the experiences of international students studying through internationalisation abroad (IA) and at a distance (IaD) at a UK university through the lens of Ecological Systems Model. In doing so, we propose a revised Ecological Systems Model, integrating the co-existing but fluid and liminal virtual/physical and…

Khajeloo, Mojtaba; Siegel, Marcelle A. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Concept map (CM) is introduced as a useful tool for studying students' system thinking (ST). However, it is more known to represent students' knowledge of system components and organization and less recognized as a tool to examine and enhance students' understanding about the underlying causal mechanisms in complex systems. In this study, through…

Sands, Sara R. – Educational Policy, 2023
The research on education philanthropy typically characterizes foundations as practicing either "traditional" or "strategic" philanthropy. These labels are used to indicate divergent ways of thinking about the impact of grants and approaches to grantmaking between the two models. Drawing on a theoretical framework informed by…

Gregorcic, Tanja; Torkar, Gregor – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
This study examines how lower secondary school students understand the circulatory system, using the structure-behavior-function (SBF) framework for conceptual representation. It evaluates the progress of students' understanding after interventions with two different teaching approaches, one using a biology textbook supported by augmented reality…

Bowers, Jonathan; Eidin, Emanuel; Stephens, Lynn; Brennan, Linsey – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Interpreting and creating computational systems models is an important goal of science education. One aspect of computational systems modeling that is supported by modeling, systems thinking, and computational thinking literature is "testing, evaluating, and debugging models." Through testing and debugging, students can identify aspects…

Saba, Janan; Hel-Or, Hagit; Levy, Sharona T. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This paper presents the design and initial learning research with the MMM modeling platform, seeking to advance middle school students' learning through constructing computational models of complex physical and chemical systems. A complexity-based structure of an MMM interface is introduced. It suggests that a complex system can be described and…

Rochat, Shékina – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2018
Motivational interviewing (MI; Miller & Rollnick, 2013, "Motivational interviewing: Helping people change" (3rd ed.). New York, NY: Guilford Press.) is receiving increasing attention in the field of career counselling. This method has been proven effective to foster motivation in various contexts. However, MI lacks of theoretical…

Wolf, Sharon; Gonzalez Canche, Manuel S.; Coe, Kristen – Child Development, 2021
Research on classroom peer effects has focused nearly exclusively on high-income countries and on academic skills. Little is known about peer effects in low-income countries and whether effects differ under different educational environments (e.g., teacher-directed versus child-centered, conditions of concentrated advantage or disadvantage). Based…

Samadi, Mohammad Amin; Cavazos, Jacqueline G.; Lin, Yiwen; Nixon, Nia – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is a 21st-century skill essential for learning gains, workplace success, and tackling increasingly complicated global problems. Group diversity plays a vital role during collaborative activities, especially in a digital space. Although CPS involves dynamic communication behaviors, few studies have considered the…

Demssie, Yared Nigussie; Biemans, Harm J. A.; Wesselink, Renate; Mulder, Martin – Environmental Education Research, 2023
For a sustainable future, equipping sustainability change agents with relevant sustainability competencies is crucial. Among these competencies is system thinking competence -- the understanding of complex interrelationships among the dimensions of sustainable development and the impacts of the interrelationships. Learning approaches relevant to…

Halilovic, Asila; Mešic, Vanes; Hasovic, Elvedin; Vidak, Andrej – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2021
Conventional teaching about the law of conservation of mechanical energy (LCME) often results with students trying to solve problems by remembering similar problems they already covered in classes. Consequently, many students fail to transfer their knowledge to simplest real-life problems. Therefore, a pre-test-post-test quasi-experiment was…

Sommer, Teresa Eckrich; Schneider, William; Chor, Elise; Sabol, Terri J.; Chase-Lansdale, P. Lindsay; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne; Yoshikawa, Hirokazu; Morris, Amanda; King, Christopher – Child Development, 2020
Two-generation human capital programs seek to promote the education of parents and children simultaneously. This study examines relations between family participation in Career"Advance," which recruits parents of Head Start children into a workforce training program, and children's Head Start attendance. The sample included 293 children…

Aurore Mroz; Julia Gorham – Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 2024
This longitudinal mixed-methods case study aimed to explain why a seemingly ordinary U.S.-affiliated hyper-connected French language learner (Nancy) achieved extraordinary outcomes after 15 weeks in Paris, compared to fifteen Generation Z peers also enrolled in the program. Framed by Complex Dynamic Systems Theory and social pedagogies, the study…

Beagon, Una; Kövesi, Klara; Tabas, Brad; Nørgaard, Bente; Lehtinen, Riitta; Bowe, Brian; Gillet, Christiane; Spliid, Claus Monrad – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Despite the emerging discussions about the growing role of engineers in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is a lack of agreement on which competences should be prioritised to prepare engineering students to resolve future sustainability challenges. This study examined and compared the views of key stakeholders of…
