A major focus of teaching and learning in undergraduate civil engineering is the enhancement of student performance. Feedback is vital for the improvement of students' performance. However, relatively few studies were conducted specifically to establish the relationship between feedback and student performance in engineering education, especially…

The use of online learning objects in teaching algebra is examined in this research, emphasizing its benefits, such as accessibility, flexibility, interactive involvement, differentiated instruction, quick feedback, and links to real-world situations. Strategies include conceptual comprehension, interactive practice, individualized learning,…

In this study, the authors investigate the written feedback provided to primary and secondary pre-service teachers studying a specialisation in mathematics. The analysis focuses on 16 written reports completed by mentor teachers during the penultimate year placement of pre-service teachers. The evaluation employs a framework informed by the…

Recent research suggests that neural networks, algorithms designed to reflect the human brain's behavior to recognize patterns, can be used to develop data dashboards that provide teachers with more specific and frequent feedback to improve their instruction (Jacobs et al., 2022). This qualitative case study examines six teachers' perceptions of…

The value of an instructor is that she exactly recognizes what the learner is struggling with and provides constructive feedback straight to the point. This work aims at a step towards this type of feedback in the context of an introductory programming course, where students perform program execution tracing to align their understanding of Java…

Platform-enabled research services will control, manage, and measure learner experiences within that platform. In this paper, we consider the need for research services that examine learner experiences "outside" the platform. For example, we describe an effort to conduct an experiment on peer assessment in a college writing course, where…

The author believes that in mathematics education, with ourselves AND with students or learners, people need to embrace failure as a beautiful thing -- an incredibly wonderful opportunity to learn more about the math or the tool or the people. The five characteristics of provocative objects can help to understand how to design such lovely failure,…

Art education holds immense value, presenting students with complex problems and diverse solutions. While general art education has received attention from researchers, higher visual art education remains an under-discussed topic. This article aims to address this gap by examining the diversity of pattern elements that art teachers employ during…

Teaching observation protocols serve purposes beyond research, such as providing formative feedback for teachers' growth in their practice. Such observation tool usage requires different approaches for validation. For this reason, we developed the formative teaching evaluation framework adapted from the student-assessment literature. We used this…

Peer assessment can be a more effective pedagogical method when reviewers provide quality feedback. But what makes feedback helpful to reviewees? Other studies have identified quality feedback as focusing on detecting problems, providing suggestions, or pointing out where changes need to be made. However, it is important to seek students'…

Gaming the system, characterized by attempting to progress through a learning activity without engaging in essential learning behaviors, remains a persistent problem in computer-based learning platforms. This paper examines a simple intervention to mitigate the harmful effects of gaming the system by evaluating the impact of immediate feedback on…

The effectiveness of feedback in enhancing learning outcomes is well documented within Educational Data Mining (EDM). Various prior research have explored methodologies to enhance the effectiveness of feedback to students in various ways. Recent developments in Large Language Models (LLMs) have extended their utility in enhancing automated…

This study examined students' perceived metacognition and online presence within the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework in online courses. Forty students participated in this study. Data were collected through the CoI survey instrument and shared metacognition questionnaire. The findings revealed students rated teaching presence as the highest…

We examined the suggestions mathematics coaches provided to teachers as part of one-on-one coaching cycles. The purpose was to understand the object (content) of the suggestions, the lesson phase in which the suggestion would occur, and the clarity of the suggestion (how actionable the suggestion would be if the teacher followed the suggestion).…

Among the many options for a learning management system (LMS), Office 365 is one of the most popular among colleges and universities in the Philippines and abroad. While there are substantial studies conducted on the use of LMS for online communication in general, action research conducted to a specific higher education institution is still needed…
