The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the flipped classroom on optimizing students' motivation and understanding of medical physics concepts. This approach transfers teacher-fronted lessons out of class to be prepared by students at home and utilizes their class time for discussion and practice. The sample included 123 female…

The use of fully online (FO) mathematics teaching has been increasing worldwide. Despite claims and findings that mathematics is more challenging to teach FO than face-to-face (F2F), we know little about FO mathematics teaching. In this paper, we address this gap by working to elucidate the differences between teaching in the FO and F2F…

Online education has become the new normal in higher education. As traditional brick and mortar universities move their programs and courses to the online format, their professors must also make the transition. Perhaps one of the most important factors to consider when converting courses to the online format is the instructor. The instructor is an…

The adoption of the European Council Recommendation on learning for the green transition and sustainable development (2022) notes the critical role of education, and demonstrates the commitment of Member States to the attainment of sustainable futures. This Recommendation established a solid political foundation for co-operation in the European…

The study was conducted to assess the effect of a blended learning educational model on grade ten students' mathematics conceptual understanding in Ethiopia. A non-equivalent pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design was employed. Two intact classes from different schools were randomly selected and assigned to experimental (n=38) and…

Virtual reality (VR) technologies have the potential to transform astronomy education practices profoundly: new forms of visual representations, perceptual engagement and embodied participation promise authentic learning experiences in formal and informal learning spaces. While a growing body of research studies the educational needs and…

The integration of ICT in foreign language instruction at primary school level has emerged as a significant component of contemporary educational methodologies. This study aims to examine the impact of ICT-based interactive foreign language instruction on the academic performance and attitudes of fourth-grade students towards foreign language…

This paper provides an account of the everyday workplace learning of cycle technicians. Derived from an ethnography of working cultures and practices at a bike shop in the North of England, this paper rests on a critical reading of Communities of Practice theory in order to explore the complex and heterogeneous learning of cycle technicians.…

Graphic design students no longer need to attend institutions of higher education (IHE) to gain entry-level skills for a variety of design related areas with the rise of new learning platforms like YouTube, edX, etc. A recent series of studies found that 70% of respondents (working designers) reported learning their craft online. This study…

Emporium courses have been offered as an option to reduce the amount of time students spend in developmental mathematics courses. This study investigated differences in achievement and persistence in mathematics by course modality for students enrolled in developmental mathematics at a suburban community college in the Northeast United States from…

In this paper we put forth a model for physics course reform that uniquely uses proven, research-based active-learning strategies to help students improve their physics knowledge and problem-solving skills. In this study, we compared the exam performance of students in two sections of the same introductory physics course. One section (the…

Game-based learning refers to establishing learning environments that involve digital or non-digital games to enhance students' knowledge and skill acquisition. Previous studies indicated that game-based learning is superior to the conventional instructional method, but few compared the differences between different game types. This study examined…

Improving student experiences in higher education is of ongoing interest to colleges and universities across the globe. Non-university higher education institutions (NUHEIs) have outperformed universities in Australian national surveys on student experience. The present study examines qualitative responses of the Student Experience Survey within…

This qualitative study framed in Albert Bandura's Self-Efficacy theory involved 6 teachers from Chaffey Joint Union high School District and 8 teacher education professionals from teacher education programs in southern and central California. It examined reported pedagogical strategies in responding to specific dimensions of classroom diversity:…

The aim of the current research is to develop a STEM-based digital classroom learning model based on the 21st-century skills and characteristics of elementary school students. To enable the dissemination of this learning model, further research is needed to determine the effect of the STEM-based digital classroom learning model on the 21st century…
