Tangent lines are often first introduced to students in geometry during the study of circles. The topic may be repeatedly reintroduced to students in different contexts throughout their schooling, and often each reintroduction is accompanied by a new, nonequivalent definition of tangent lines. In calculus, tangent lines are again reintroduced to…

The Bicycle Drawing Test (BDT) serves to identify poor memory, psychomotor deficiencies, and cognitive deficiencies. This study examined 206 students' performance on the BDT measure, text-based and graph-based questions in undergraduate-level macroeconomics courses. Correlational analyses suggest that the drawing task component of BDT is…

This teaching case study aims at encouraging meaningful conversations about discipline. The case illustrates the increasing need for school leaders to adopt discipline approaches that foster support, equity, inclusion, and advocacy for cultural differences rather than punishment and the exclusion of marginalized students. This scenario takes place…

High-immersion virtual reality (VR) technology is often associated with gaming. Yet, it is increasingly popular in educational contexts due to its potential to engage and motivate learners. Prior to VR technology integration in the classroom, the acceptance or resistance toward VR needs to be explored. This paper reports the results obtained from…

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are increasingly used in manufacturing, transportation, health, and other industries. To develop these complex interdisciplinary systems, highly qualified CPS engineers are required who possess sound engineering knowledge and excellent transferable skills. Academic institutions offer a range of modules and curricula to…

This study presents the methodological and procedural development process of the Digital Age Teaching Scale (DATS), a summative assessment tool designed to measure application of the ISTE Standards for Educators in K-12 classrooms. The theoretical framework of the ISTE Standards for Educators informed the development of DATS, and an 8-step process…

This paper investigates the impact of the LEGO® Serious Play simulation technique on accounting students' learning outcomes. Data is from a stratified random sample of undergraduate accounting students at a leading higher education institution in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) emerging market. This paper uses parametric statistical analysis…

The current study compared the effects of discussion forum and interteach activities on quiz performance in an asynchronous master's level course using an alternating treatments design. The study included five participants. Participants engaged in interteaching in half of the weeks, and in the alternate weeks, they contacted the discussion forum…

Purpose: Biomedical engineers that have the ability and skill sets to comprehend and retain basic anatomy and physiology (A&P) knowledge, apply fundamental engineering principles, use critical thinking, and communicate effectively across multiple disciplines to facilitate successful development and clinical translation of medical devices. The…

This study explored the experiences of educators interested in sociocritical approaches to renewable energy education in the energy focused and politically charged province of Alberta and other regions of Canada. A generic qualitative methodology was enacted through semi-structured interviews to better understand the challenges that they face,…

Math skills are critical for students' success in other subjects and later in life, yet far too many teacher prep programs fail to give aspiring teachers the essential knowledge they need to be effective math teachers--undermining student learning before the first lesson even begins. To develop great math teachers, teacher prep programs must…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of employing an augmented reality (AR) lens imaging system on inquiry-based learning concerning junior high school students' science achievement, science learning motivation, and inquiry skills. For this purpose, an AR lens imaging learning system was developed specifically for the lens imaging…

This study integrates the TPACK framework into a Preschool Language Education course to examine its effects on pre-service preschool teachers' instructional design competence (IDC). The research aims to explore effective methods for IDC development and analyze its growth characteristics. Using an R&D methodology, this study employed an…

Communication and collaboration skills are one of the most important competencies for students. This study aims to analyze the development of communication and collaboration skills of students of IAIN Kerinci's Biology Department through the application of the problem-based learning (PBL) model. Using a quantitative descriptive survey approach,…

Research has identified the importance of perceived employability in enhancing new graduates' job search and finding initial employment. Students with high perceived employability are likely to have high self-confidence and perseverance in their job search, which may lead to early initial employment post-graduation. Perceived employability affects…
