Kalender Arikan – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Learning style (LS), either visual or verbal, has become debatable in the f ield of education vis-à-vis its relation to student success. However, it remains a valuable research theme for improving learning activities in the teaching of highly visual science fields, including biology, physics, and chemistry. Previous studies have primarily focused…

Yangyang Luo; Xibin Han; Chaoyang Zhang – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2024
Learning outcomes can be predicted with machine learning algorithms that assess students' online behavior data. However, there have been few generalized predictive models for a large number of blended courses in different disciplines and in different cohorts. In this study, we examined learning outcomes in terms of learning data in all of the…

Hayama, Tessai; Odate, Hidetaka; Ishida, Naoto – International Journal on E-Learning, 2020
The field of learning analytics has been limited by its frequent dependence on learning logs created by students while learning. Most of the research has dealt with the relationships between learning during a course and the achieved results. Although students' in-class behavior affects learning achievement, this remains a challenging aspect to…

E. Taranto; G. Colajanni; A. Gobbi; M. Picchi; A. Raffaele – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Operations Research (OR) is a branch of applied mathematics that deals with optimization problems arising from different real contexts. The solving process of its problems is based on the construction and resolution of mathematical models, showing the possible connections between mathematics and the real world. Nevertheless, OR is not typically…

Christopher Cammies; John A. Cunningham; Rebecca K. Pike – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Students must develop higher order cognitive skills (HOCS) that allow them to think critically and use their learning in novel situations. However, little is known about how including HOCS in teaching and assessment affects students' perception of learning. We combine quantitative and qualitative data to determine whether the inclusion of HOCS and…

Davidson, Ashley B.; Addison, Christopher J.; Charbonneau, James – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2022
Universities are recognizing the need to prepare graduates to think conceptually and have the ability to take on complex, real-world problems. Strategies to assess conceptual knowledge are limited and often require more time and effort to complete than is accessible for most undergraduate courses. Card sorting is a very broad technique for…

Syafril; Azrul, Azrul – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2023
Pedagogical competence is a competence that must be possessed by a teacher. Students as prospective teachers have low pedagogical competence. One way to improve the pedagogical quality of prospective teachers is to train HOTs thinking. However, in the field, there are still many obstacles in efforts to increase these abilities, one of the efforts…

Pérez Martínez, Helen Mariel; Cuevas-Vallejo, Carlos A.; Islas Ortiz, Erasmo; Orozco-Santiago, José – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper, we present the development of an investigation on the promotion of covariational reasoning in high school students (14-15 years old) in Mexico. The study consists of designing and applying a sequence of didactic activities that simulate a real situation virtually. The activities are organized through a Hypothetical Learning…

Pierratos, Theodoros; Koumara, Anna – Primary Science, 2020
In this article, a series of activities on explicit teaching of specific aspects of the 'nature of science' are presented. The authors explore teaching the nature of science through inquiry-based activities on electric circuits. The activities concern classification of objects as conductors or insulators and took place in three classes of 4th…

Markwick, Andy – Primary Science, 2021
The topic 'Animals including humans' runs through the primary science National Curriculum in England (DfE, 2013). Ideally, topics such as inheritance will lead onto adaptation, natural selection and evolution across key stages 1 to 2 (ages 5-11). This article provides nine engaging activities to support the teaching of adaptation and improve…

Helenius, Ola – Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
Play-based preschool pedagogy usually relies on informal teaching while policy trends and some research call for increased formalisation of the pedagogy. Using Bernstein's concepts of classification and framing, this article characterises mechanisms that link evaluation of preschool to the push towards the formalisation of teaching in preschool.…
