Hodi Elias Tsamago; Anass Bayaga – South African Journal of Education, 2024
The relation between learners' metacognitive skills and conceptual understanding is often portrayed as an input-output relation when dealing with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and non-STEM disciplines. However, studies indicate that not all pedagogies yield positive correlations between learners' metacognitive skills and…

Sirin Küçük-Avci; Özcan Erkan Akgün; Fatime Balkan-Kiyici – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study aimed to juxtapose the impacts of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology implemented within a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment against PBL in a conventional face-to-face setting, along with a control group, on students' learning performance, conceptual comprehension, and spatial aptitude. The investigation concentrated…

Moffett, Jenny; Cassidy, Dara – Online Learning, 2023
There is increasing interest in the application of game-based learning approaches to education. Educators across a wide range of contexts are using digital games such as educational escape rooms to promote learner motivation and support skills development. Whilst the literature describes multiple game-based learning theories that can underpin such…

Elina Malleus; Grete Arro; Triinu Jesmin; Esta Kaal; Mihkel Kangur; Arko Olesk; Liisa Puusepp; Jaanus Terasmaa; Terje Väljataga – Environmental Education Research, 2024
When teaching about complex phenomena (e.g. concepts related to the natural environment), good quality questioning could lead to a more profound conceptual change. However, asking questions that help students to construct new knowledge is a challenge for many educators. To help promote better questioning, we analyzed the kind of questions (N =…

Mettis, Kadri; Väljataga, Terje; Uus, Õnne – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
Using mobile technologies in education has a lot of potential to take learners outside of their regular classrooms and mediate learning scenarios that are related to real-life situations. Mobile outdoor learning could help students to establish connections between learned concepts and their everyday life. To find out if mobile outdoor learning…

Orna Levin – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2024
Conducting conversations with students' parents is an important and constant part of teachers' professional practice. Teacher education programmes are responsible for preparing the foundations for teacher-parent cooperation; however, throughout the training, there are few opportunities for preservice teachers (PSTs) to practice interacting with…

Robson M. Araujo-Junior; Alec M. Bodzin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Digital game-based and gamified technologies hold much promise to promote the development of learners' conceptual knowledge. This efficacy study used desktop virtual reality (dVR) to investigate how the place-based digital gameful learning experience (DGLE) "Watershed Explorers", implemented as a curriculum enhancement activity, impacted…

Fernandez, Loretta – L2 Journal, 2022
This case study explores the cognitive and emotional development of a university student using the schema of a complete orienting basis of action (SCOBA) in her learning of Italian as a foreign language. The article follows Marie, a 19-year-old undergraduate student, as she used a SCOBA that illustrated the concept of Genre and Register in…

Kirchner, Michael; London, Michael – College Teaching, 2022
Professional identity development of students is an often discussed but never resolved issue in higher education. To facilitate a shift toward developing students' professional identity, we propose a pedagogical model where students are tasked with developing and providing instruction to their classmates during a 75-minute teaching session.…

Jian-Bo Zhu; Yu-Zhou Luo – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Science identity, encompassing perceptions of competence, interest, and recognition in science, alongside learning self-efficacy reflecting confidence to master science skills, are key drivers of outcomes. However, developmental patterns likely vary across contexts. Participants were 512 Chinese students spanning grades 1-3 who completed the…

Gao, Yizhu; Zhai, Xiaoming; Andersson, Björn; Zeng, Pingfei; Xin, Tao – Research in Science Education, 2020
We applied latent class analysis and the rule space model to verify the cumulative characteristic of conceptual change by developing a learning progression for buoyancy. For this study, we first abstracted seven attributes of buoyancy and then developed a hypothesized learning progression for buoyancy. A 14-item buoyancy instrument was…

Fung, Dennis; Liang, Tim – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This paper reports the results of a quasi-experimental study that evaluated the effectiveness of collaborative mind mapping in three Hong Kong primary schools. More than 200 grade 4 students, divided into three pedagogical groups, participated in a variety of science learning activities with the aid of a mind map and/or collaborative group work.…

Carolina Cuesta-Hincapie; Zui Cheng; Marisa Exter – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Creativity is a valuable skill for instructional designers. However, few studies have researched creativity in instructional design (ID) graduate courses. Future professionals' creative thinking is necessary to address societal, technological, and economic challenges. Developing creative thinking in novice instructional designers could allow them…

Watson, Jane; Fitzallen, Noleine; Wright, Suzie; Kelly, Ben – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
STEM learning experiences at the school level provide both opportunities and challenges for exploring students' understanding of statistical concepts. This report focuses on data handling and informal inference embedded in a STEM context, that is, of testing, adjusting, and retesting catapults. In particular, the learning goal was for Grade 4…
