As spaces, physical or virtual, are change agents and can have an impact on learning, the power of built pedagogy is being acknowledged in Higher Education. Emphasis is being placed on the design of Active Learning Spaces (ALS) and its impact on pedagogy, by fostering active learning. However, the field is fragmented, due to a profusion of terms…

Current educational research and practice urge the reconceptualization of learning spaces' design, development, and usage. However, only some research studies address the formation of innovative learning spaces in higher education. This systematic mapping review (Grant & Booth. "Health Information & Libraries Journal," 26,…

Technology has invaded all spheres of life, including education and providing a lot of facilities. It has played a great role in managing education during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis. However, technology might prove detrimental if there is too much of it which may negatively affect its users in some way. This study aimed to…

A qualitative study was conducted in a secondary school to evaluate student learning processes and outcomes by examining their inquiry questions, journals, and maker artifacts in a curriculum-based maker learning environment supported by the Guided Inquiry Design (GID). Thirteen 8th-grade students in a suburban middle school in the southwest of…

This study investigates 14 digitally enhanced learning methods, shedding light on students with special educational needs (SEN) in inclusive digital learning environments. We seek to fill the gap in the literature by specifically investigating methods suitable for students with SEN. A survey among experts has been carried out to assess learning…

Background: Students who are blind are integrated into public schools in many countries, yet are often excluded from full participation in science since most learning materials are visual. To create a compensatory route, an existing model-based inquiry-learning environment was adapted by means of sonification (addition of non-speech sounds that…

Technology and globalization in education have dramatically changed the landscape for teachers. New roles for teachers include resource providers, content specialists, learning facilitators, and lifelong learners. This is especially true in the ever-changing fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Therefore, colleges…

Flipped classrooms have received more attention in recent years, primarily with a focus on their wide application in higher education settings. This article focuses on reviewing research on flipped classrooms as a potential contributor to educational reform in PK-12 settings. Review of research showed emergent themes within benefits found in…

HyFlex is the new model that has emerged in education, combining traditional classroom instruction with online instruction, thus offering learners more flexibility and freedom in their learning life cycle. This paper discusses the background, principles, benefits, and challenges, and whether it can transform higher education. Based on the current…

Gen Z stands out as a new age learner group in the context of open and distance learning. Research shows that Gen Z has different needs and expectations form their predecessors; therefore, new educational interventions are required. The purpose of this study is to examine the suggestions of the scientific articles on Gen Z to draw educational…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of electronic synchronous and asynchronous interaction patterns, in a learning environment based on collaborative learning and instructional anchors, on developing instructional design skills and achievement motivation. A quasi-experimental design was used to develop a theoretical framework and research…

In today's society, innovation and creativity are needed in many areas, Unfortunately, graduated students miss out on employment opportunities due to a lack of creativity (Bateman 2013). Base on literature review, classroom observation and administrator s' feedback, there are three areas to support student 's creativity: Learner Engagement,…

There is a lack of research on the use of digital technology in physical education teacher education (PETE) and its relationship with the learning and engagement of pre-service teachers. Furthermore, research reports low engagement of pre-service teachers in digital approaches that do not promote active learning and are mostly teacher-centred.…

Purpose: This research aims to convert the traditional teacher-student models, in which teachers determine the learning resources, into a flexible structure and an active learning environment so that students can participate in the educational processes and value co-creation in virtual academic learning environments (VALEs).…

Although there is considerable interest in learning spaces in higher education, the relationship between spaces and learning is complex and not well-understood. Despite challenges, such as the lack of comparability between studies, we need to learn more about the interaction of space design and learning. A crucial step towards this is the creation…
