Fernando Veiga; Alain Gil-Del-Val; Edurne Iriondo; Urko Eslava – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2025
This paper presents the experimental work developed to measure the learning process through concept map analysis. The development of a concept map is requested by the students for each chapter or theme of the subject. As a result, maps from engineering courses have been analyzed. The measurements carried out consider several parameters, such as…

Michelle Pauley Murphy; Woei Hung – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology concepts, such as acid-base balance, may be difficult for students to understand. Systems modeling, a cognitive tool, allows students to visualize their mental model of the problem space to enhance learning and retention. We performed a within-subjects three-period randomized control comparison of systems modeling versus written…

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 =…

Komang Setemen; I. Gede Sudirtha; I. Wayan Widiana – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2023
The results of online learning were not optimal, as evidenced by the unsatisfactory learning outcomes. These issues influenced students who had a poor understanding of concepts and those who were quick to learn. It was the reason for the study that aims to analyze the effectiveness of study, explore, implement, evaluate (SEIE) model e-learning…

Sakr, Mona – Teaching in Higher Education, 2020
How can we make use of image-based social media to develop students' critical engagement with concepts like equality and diversity? In this paper, I draw on bell hooks' description of liberatory theorising to discuss findings from a project that involved 60 2nd year BA education students taking and sharing photographs through Instagram as part of…

So, Winnie Wing-Mui; Chen, Yu – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2018
E-learning is playing a significant and increasing role in elementary science education. The purpose of this study was to explore how primary Grade 3 students constructed an understanding of seasons through a series of interactive e-learning activities. One class of Grade 3 students from one local primary school was invited to participate in this…

Hsu, Chih-Chao; Wang, Tzone-I – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2014
Concept comprehension is an important foundation for more complex thoughts. To enhance concept comprehension, teachers of traditional classrooms have been using instructional strategies and specific course designs, which have been proven effective. It initiates a hypothesis that integrating instructional strategies in the course designs of an…

Staking, Kimberlee – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Although university students are key participants in knowledge-making processes, their insights about learning are sparsely documented, and too rarely considered in contemporary conversations in higher education. In centering the insights and experiences of students enrolled in two women's studies courses at the University of Maryland, this…
