This study investigated student perceived shared-metacognition--self-regulation and co-regulation--as explained by three teaching presence sub-elements--"Instructional Design, Direct Instruction, and Facilitation"--in an online case-based course. 113 online graduate students enrolled in an advanced instructional design course…

Skilled orators and their public speaking skills have been held in high esteem since antiquity. Artificial intelligence-powered presentation platforms (AI-PPPs) are an emerging educational technology that provides a virtual venue and AI audience for users to practice a presentation or pitch and receive feedback to improve their public speaking…

Field-based education is interactive, hands-on, and based on real world experience and methodology, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has faced special challenges. As many institutions may struggle to maintain this vital component of geographic education, this resource paper aims to illustrate the impacts of the pandemic and provide some…

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact, and students' and teachers' perceptions, of using smartphones as clickers during formal lectures. This was an observational study based on a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews. Forty French dental students received conventional lectures, and 40 additionally used the Socrative®…

The pandemic brought a massive shift in traditional education strategies. Educational literature is focusing on case studies for online-learning platforms. This research aims to break down the adaptations in teaching styles and curriculums across different countries due to the worldwide shift towards newer technology and learning mediums to…

This study aims to determine the effect of using STEAM digital teaching materials on increasing creative problem-solving skills. This study has a quasi-experimental research design with a nonequivalent control group. This study employed a random sampling technique and obtained Class 8-F as the experimental class and Class 8-H as the control class.…

The quality and effectiveness of online teaching-learning are increasingly important with online learning becoming the norm. This cross-sectional survey study aimed to determine the relationship between first-year polytechnic students' perception of chemistry asynchronous lectures and their learning performance. Their perception was determined…

The model for implementing pedagogical technologies to the develop cognitive processes of secondary education students is highly significant in the present era.
