Loeffler, Jonna; Raab, Markus; Cañal-Bruland, Rouwen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Embodied Cognition approaches suggest that movements influence the understanding of abstract concepts such as time. It follows that moving the arms as watch hands should boost children's learning to read the clock. In a school setting, we compared three learning conditions: an embodied (movement) condition, an interactive App condition, and a text…

Dana C. Ernst; Jeffrey Slye – PRIMUS, 2024
The algebraic group Spin[subscript 3 × 3] arises from spinning collections of the numbers 1-9 on a 3×3 game board. The authors have been using this group, as well as a corresponding online application, to introduce undergraduate students to core concepts in group theory. We discuss the benefits of using this deceptively simple, toy-like puzzle in…

Ho, Yan Yin; Yeo, Eun-Young; Wijaya, Dhaniah Suhana Binte Mohammad – Journal of Continuing Higher Education, 2023
The increasing number of adult learners in higher education is a trend that has been observed in recent years. An impetus for this trend is the need for upskilling and re-skilling in order to stay relevant and employable in today's world of globalised knowledge. However, finding uninterrupted blocks of time to study in adult learners' busy…

Sakr, Mona; Oscar, Amanda – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2022
There is a tension between the early years (EY) ideal of 'stretchy time' for free-flow play and discourses surrounding children's digital play, which emphasise the need for time limits. To explore this tension further, we engaged in collaborative reflective dialogue with 20 EY practitioners in a workshop exploring apps for young children. Based on…

Carreño, María José; Castro-Alonso, Juan C.; Gallardo, María José – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Currently, the physics disciplines are represented by a significantly larger number of professional males, compared to females. Although the problem of underrepresentation of female physicists has several causes, one likely reason is the lower interest that female school students have in physics activities. Several instructional solutions have…

Maushagen, Jan; De Troyer, Olga – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
We propose a novel model for learning environments to target the characteristics of digital natives and to improve informal learning practices, i.e. the exploration, discovery and self-monitoring of learning content and the reflection on learning activities. The Mobile Playful Learning Environment (MPLE) model is defined as consisting of seven…
