Testing is a highly important tool, used ubiquitously in academia, to assess student comprehension and understanding of material. Unfortunately, the emphasis placed on test grades has resulted in a modern epidemic of test-related anxiety, which can have adverse health effects on students. Over time, novel testing strategies have been developed to…

Inquiry-based learning is a learning-and-teaching approach that allows students to gather and build knowledge of scientific facts by asking questions. To gain an understanding of the impact of such an instruction, this study examines the effectiveness of Video Inquiry-based Cooperative Learning (VICL) and Video Inquiry-based Learning (VIL) on…

Flipped learning has attracted increasing attention in all grade levels in recent years and becomes an alternative to the traditional model. Even though there is a large body of research on flipped classrooms, they usually ignore the learning theories that were used to construct the curriculum and instead concentrate on the degree to which using…

Becoming critical thinkers and collaborative learners is important for today's students as they develop the skills needed for success in the 21st century (National Research Council, 2012; Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2019). One instructional strategy used to develop critical-thinking skills through collaboration is Socratic seminar. A…

Collaborative programming can develop computational thinking and knowledge of computational programming. However, the researchers pointed out that because students often fail to mobilize metacognition to regulate and control their cognitive activities in a cooperation, this results in poor learning effects. Especially low-achieving students need…

The integration of web-based discussion tools in education has expanded rapidly, yet their pedagogical use remains largely unstructured, often resulting in fragmented discussions and limited learners' engagement. This gap reflects the absence of empirically grounded instructional models that align digital discourse with principles of collaborative…

One of the main goals of academic institutions is to develop students' analytical and critical thinking abilities; however, traditional teaching modes do not provide the desired result. A study carried out recently suggested that integrating reflective and collaborative activities not only increases, but also activates these abilities. Such…

The study investigates the impact of a blended teaching approach combining Cooperative and Project-Based Learning (CPBL) on the critical thinking abilities and learning efficiency of vocational nursing students, aiming to determine its effectiveness compared to traditional teaching methods. The study employed an experimental design, involving…

This study delves into the efficacy of collaborative learning (CL) in nurturing critical thinking, bolstering reading comprehension, and fostering effective communication within diverse educational settings. It further investigates the constructive role of taskbased learning teaching (TBLT) in elucidating learning objectives, bolstering…

This study compared the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning method (PBL) with the conventional teaching method in developing cross-curricular skills and improving academic performance among 1064 undergraduate students at the north coast of Colombia. A t-student test, Welch test, and the Tau Kendall correlation coefficient were used to…

Critical thinking skills are essential for success in life and work, and it is essential that learning strategies enable the development of critical thinking skills from the early years of schooling. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of cooperative learning using the RoundTable and Think-Pair-Share methods in the…

Microlearning is gaining ground in the higher education domain. Despite this trend, there is a lack of evidence of effectiveness when a large number of microlearning units are grouped to form a macrolearning programme. The purpose of this paper is to explore how and why a macrolearning affects students' self-efficacy. The originality of this paper…

This study implemented a blended learning mode with the aid of artificial intelligence teaching platform in the English language course. In this study, 110 students majoring in computer network were randomly selected as subjects, 55 of whom was the experimental group, the rest of 55 was the control group. Before the experiment, this study carried…

The jigsaw technique has been successfully used in classrooms for decades, though less in higher education. Groups are formed with each student having a precise piece of information necessary to complete the assignment. Next, expert groups of students with the same material meet to sharpen their understanding before reforming their initial group…

Renewable energy is a global concern and should be incorporated into education to raise awareness among younger generations, including in physics education. Educators have made various efforts to raise awareness of the importance of pursuing renewable energy. A breakthrough sought in this research is to incorporate collaborative learning into the…
