Instructors traditionally lecture on new content before providing practice problems, but learning is often superficial. Exploratory learning before instruction deepens conceptual understanding by giving students a novel activity to explore before direct instruction. We examined how increasing the salience of contrasting cases in exploration versus…

This study explores the creation of an experiential learning exercise (ELE) to simulate a generic operations management scenario. Through the case study, students are provided the opportunity to gain tacit understanding of learning curves by doing tasks and observing tasks. The students' tacit understanding is captured through learning rates. The…

Artificial intelligence (AI) education has gained popularity, and educators are developing activities to enhance students' AI literacy and promote collaboration in problem-solving. While current approaches using simulations and games can improve students' AI knowledge, they may not adequately prepare them for higher-level cognitive tasks. Only a…

Comprehensive practice education is an integral part of the basic education curriculum, aiming to train students to connect textbook knowledge with real-world life through hands-on manipulations and in-person experiences in off-campus settings. In response to the challenges arising in the current enactment of the comprehensive practice curriculum…

Data-Driven Learning (DDL) is a method for learning languages that involves analyzing language usage trends and finding patterns in language data, utilizing technology and statistics. One of the key benefits of DDL is that it allows students to focus on the most relevant and useful language data for their needs. Data-driven learning is an…

Background: Constructing knowledge through collaborative practical work is a complex process and involves the use of multiple modalities by group members. In practical work sessions, students often manipulate visual objects or textual materials but do not develop their scientific ideas. Purpose: This study illustrates (a) the challenges that…

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) hold a unique positionality as instructors and research mentors to undergraduate students, research mentees to faculty members, and employees to an institution. With limited pedagogical training and teaching resources, the enactment of planned teaching activities and learning resources may be influenced by how…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the process of developing an alternative physical education program using restorative justice practices as a transformative approach to social--emotional learning. Method: This study utilizes qualitative case study methods to examine the implementation process and short-term outcomes. Data sources…

Experiential learning (EL) is often perceived as valuable to education and prioritized in higher education curricula. The value of EL from the student perspective has been researched, but few have explored faculty perspectives in business programs. The purpose of this study was to explore faculty perceptions of the meaning of EL, implementation…

Although there is a direct link between pupil motivation and successful learning of foreign languages (FL), there appears to be a real paucity of research regarding carousels of activities as a pedagogical intervention, although carousels may often be used in the teaching and learning of FL. Located within two Year 6 French classrooms in a primary…

This correlational cross-sectional study was conducted with 60 graduate students to explore their perceived social experiences with the use of synchronous videoconferencing in the online learning environment. By applying the theories of social presence and media richness, this study investigated the perceived relationship between social presence,…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a blended learning method on the development of foreign language communicative competence of the officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the educational and information environment of a Higher Military Educational Institution.
