Gavora, Peter; Wiegerová, Adriana – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2022
Using a self-reporting measure, the study examined IBA-related beliefs of Czech preschool teachers (n = 1,004). In addition, it explored the beliefs of teachers who strongly agreed (n = 564) and those who strongly disagreed (n = 67) with the implementation of IBA in preschool classes. The findings show that teachers within the full sample, as well…

Mary K. Stewart – Online Learning, 2023
This qualitative study examines cognitive presence in a graduate-level online pedagogy course that introduced students to the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. Students wrote weekly reflections that described their own learning and speculated on how they could apply what they learned to create positive online learning environments for future…

Trishauna Pulos – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Middle school is about the growth, potential, and change of adolescents. Students at the middle school age level, generally ages 10 to 14, struggle with the dynamics of making the transitions from recess and active learning in elementary school to multiple teachers, bigger workloads and campuses, and larger student populations (Alexander et al.,…

Social-psychological interventions have raised the learning and performance of students in rigorous efficacy trials. Yet, after they are distributed "in the wild" for students to self-administer, there has been little research following up on their translational effectiveness. We used cutting-edge educational technology to tailor, scale…

Murdiyah, Siti; Suratno, S.; Ardhan, Arina Firdausi Nur – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2020
Teachers often encountered difficulties or even failure in conducting the classroom due to the students' inability to understand the learning materials. Most students find it's challenging to associate their existing knowledge with the new one because of the learning setting that they generally have. Teachers do not consider it important to set…

Shi, Yinghui; Yang, Huiyun; MacLeod, Jason; Zhang, Jingman; Yang, Harrison Hao – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
Technology-enabled active learning environments (TE-ALEs) have attracted considerable research interest, particularly in higher education. However, research shows inconsistent results describing the influence of TE-ALEs toward students' cognitive learning outcomes. This study was designed to identify high-quality empirical research examining…

Tian, Zhijie; Zhang, Kun; Zhang, Tao; Dai, Xiaozhen; Lin, Juan – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
"Didn't understand or not fully understand" is the most common situation that students experience when they learn medical biochemistry and molecular biology (MBMB). Therefore, the primary task of teaching MBMB is to help students overcome the difficulties in "conceptual understanding." The core of the solution to these problems…

Aragón, Oriana R.; Eddy, Sarah L.; Graham, Mark J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Mounting evidence of the efficacy of active learning has prompted educators to consider adoption of these practices in college-level classrooms. One tenet of active learning is that most, if not all, students have the ability to learn. Instructors' perspectives on learning, however, may or may not be aligned with this. One belief held by some…

Lynott, Francis J.; Bittner, Gina L. – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2019
Educational researchers suggest that physical education can not only address the physical fitness of students but can also provide students with unique opportunities to actively engage in learning and the development of cognitive capacities. The contemporary teaching technique, inquiry-based learning, is identified as an active, engaging and…

Khalaf, Bilal Khalid; Zin, Zuhana Mohamed; Al-Abbas, Linda S. – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
Educational societies encountered rapid development in all fields of knowledge, assisted by the invention of new technologies and development of linguistic systems. Over time, researchers contribute to design well known instructional models such as traditional-based and inquiry-based models. However, the previous literature investigations showed…
