This article explores: (1) the barriers facing students and teachers regarding this type of assessment, and (2) a proposed framework for overcoming these barriers. In this study, the barriers and corresponding assessment techniques were determined by interviewing a sample of 17 students and five teachers. The main barrier reported by the students…

As design becomes more oriented towards strategy, services and systems, design learning is no longer something apprentices can develop only with masters' input and critique. Further, the experimentation and reflection commonly occurring inside studio-based education is insufficient. Real-world or live projects offer an alternative to learning…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of knowledge and skills acquisition from youth leadership programs on the extent of training transfer. Additionally, it explores the role of self-esteem as a potential intervening mechanism in linking the acquired knowledge and skills to the transfer of training. Design/methodology/approach: Using a…

This study explores the pivotal role of authentic writing experiences in early childhood education by examining preschool educators' beliefs. Utilizing a comprehensive questionnaire, data were gathered from a diverse group of preschool educators, revealing their perspectives on the significance of authentic writing. The research highlights the…

Background/purpose: The contemporary educational landscape, shaped by technological advancements, demands that pre-service teachers cultivate creative thinking to design engaging learning experiences. This study addresses this need by investigating the efficacy of a pedagogical model that integrates Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and e-modules. The…

This conceptual study examines the challenges involved in a new context of postgraduate education that emphasizes timely degree completion, skill development and employability, while still seeking to uphold a commitment to a genuine education ('Bildung'). Findings from two recent empirical studies set the scene for this inquiry since they raise…

Approximations of practice are opportunities for preservice teachers (PSTs) to engage in components of teaching. However, how the varying levels of complexity or authenticity of teaching create different learning opportunities for PSTs is underexplored. Forty-one studies related to approximations of mathematics teaching were reviewed to explore…

This paper reflects the results from a 3-year quantitative study in higher education on inquiry-based learning (IBL). Utilizing primary data collection in a quasi-experimental survey, we examined the impact of IBL on six cohorts of undergraduate students. We aimed to answer our main research question: Can IBL be an effective pedagogy that helps…

The abrupt and swift transition to online remote learning due to COVID-19 left numerous Indonesian universities in a state of disarray, owing to the challenge of adapting to remote teaching and learning with only some or minimal prior experience. This is because many universities in Indonesia are traditional institutions that typically conduct…

This research explores using blogs as an innovative assessment tool to enhance authentic learning and professional skill development in students. Unlike traditional methods, blogs foster active knowledge building and peer interaction, making learning more engaging and aligned with industry contexts. The study involved third-year planning students,…

A rigorous and axiomatic-deductive approach is emphasized in teaching mathematics at university-level. Therefore, the secondary-tertiary transition includes a major change in mathematical thinking. One viewpoint to examine such elements of mathematical thinking is David Tall's framework of the three worlds of mathematics. Tall's framework…

Purpose: This study aims to explore vocational teachers' perceptions regarding workplace learning that align with students' training models and collaborative teaching involving specialised professionals within the context of industry-university collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: Using a qualitative approach, the study conducted nine…

Teaching physics in real-life contexts continues to be a challenge for teachers at different educational levels. In this article, three context-rich problems are proposed to be implemented in the classroom for higher education, using the explosion that occurred in Beirut as a case study. These problems require the search and analysis of real data,…

The paper investigates the potential of utilizing artistic creation as an alternative task for assessing students in a non-artistic course within higher education. Eighteen postgraduate students of the Department of Pedagogy and Primary Education of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, after attending a six-hour course in…

Optimal integration of education and ongoing faculty research in many undergraduate science programs is limited to the capstone project. Here, we aimed to develop a novel course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in synergy with ongoing faculty research. This 10-week course called Biomedical Research Lab is embedded in the curriculum…
