In this paper, we explore second-level students' understanding of the concept of creativity and the implications for their engagement in class-based assessments. We propose that creativity represents an important outcome of education, particularly at second level. We use a single case study, with data presented from a series of semi-structured…

The different commercial and open-source LMSs do not support pre-built activities for students in Augmented Reality (AR). To solve this challenge, this work combines AR technology and the Moodle platform to enhance the capabilities to motivate students during the learning process. For this, we developed and configured an AR app to receive and…

This resistance is investigated from the perspectives…

The present research inquired about beliefs of in-service and pre-service mathematics teachers as well as the analysis and comparison between the beliefs that they declare, argue, and reflect in their lessons plans, and the use of those beliefs in their practical exercises. Five pre-service teachers studying a Bachelor's in Mathematics, and three…

Several researchers have decried the marginalization of critical thought in accounting education programs.

Inspired by the thinking of Paulo Freire and Stephen…

Purpose: Measuring internal response of online learning is seen as fundamental to absorptive capacity which stimulates knowledge assimilation. However, the evaluation of practice and research of validated instruments that could effectively measure online learning response behavior is limited. Thus, in this study, a new instrument was designed…

This article arises from an EdD thesis (Horsburgh, 2018) that sought to describe research undertaken to address a perceived gap in the literature by carrying out a detailed examination of the classroom learning of seven primary school aged, care-experienced children. An aspect of the study was that it provided opportunities for younger care…
