Uncertainty is unavoidable in life; it is also an indispensable characteristic of educational settings. The process of learning a foreign language naturally involves interaction and coconstruction of knowledge. During this process, students may encounter uncertainty from a variety of sources, including the course, context, friends, or the teacher.…

Anatomy laboratories can provide rich opportunities for outreach to K-12 and college students interested in pursuing careers in health, medicine, or science. At the University of Missouri, the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences has designed flexible, one-hour interactive sessions that typically cover basic anatomical concepts using…

In this paper, Andrea Fiore sketches the notion of familiarity in Dewey's thought, particularly in its relations with education, aesthetics, and art. The importance of that notion emerges in Dewey's well-known writings such as "How We Think," "The School and Society," and "Art as Experience," where he shows that not…

This article describes how intentional planning using the principles of Fink's (2013) taxonomy for significant learning and Garrison's (2007) three presences, a traditional face-to-face course can be converted into a strong online course using the best practices of the flipped classroom model that facilitated better student outcomes. The suggested…

Multiagent systems (MAS) have been demonstrated to be a useful tool for addressing complex problems by breaking them down into simpler tasks. In this article, we explore the potential of the MAS approach for designing educational robotics learning experiences. Specifically, we aim to identify the pedagogical possibilities and technical…

The purpose of this article is to introduce the third edition of the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) Standards for Clinical Experience in Teacher Education by providing more detail and key changes from previous editions. Changes include outlining the history and rationale, defining key terminology, emphasizing school-university…

Flavell's theory of metacognition was innovative at the time for its promising practicality. However, research findings that report inconsistencies in metacognitive trainings' outcomes and insufficiencies of translating the theory into mainstream classrooms have accumulated since then. In this sense, there may be a need to revisit metacognition…

Background Study: Several meta-analysis studies have investigated the effects of mobile learning on learning performance. However, limited attention has been paid to pedagogy in mobile learning, making quantitative evidence of the effects of pedagogical approaches on learning performance in mobile learning scarce. Filling this gap can therefore…

Situated and Activity theories have exercised a significant influence in the field of vocational learning for some considerable time, both sharing a focus on bounded forms of work and forms of learning that facilitate learning in, or to changes to, bounded forms of work. Yet much learning occurs in unbounded contexts often referred to as…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a prerequisite for successful learning. However, studies have reported that many students struggle with self-regulation in online learning, indicating the need to provide students with additional support for SRL. This study adopted a design-based research methodology to iteratively design, implement, and evaluate…

The Catholic Church is the oldest religious institution in the West and the biggest Christian denomination in Australia. Its success is partly due to its sustained efforts to supply missionaries across the globe. While the traditional missionary paradigm involved Europe-born religious workers being sent to colonies, this flow has been reversed in…

Mathematics education forms the foundational framework for cultivating crucial skills and competencies vital for navigating an ever more intricate and numerical society. Despite its significance, students often encounter challenges and express reluctance towards certain mathematical topics, thus warranting a deeper exploration into the factors…

This paper explores the critical difference a certified Action Learning Coach makes to the outcomes of the Action Learning process, which underscores WIAL's insistence that the coach is indispensable to achieving breakthrough solutions with Action Learning. Real-life coaching examples are used to illustrate three key benefits of having a coach:…

Apprenticeship programs in North Carolina act as a crucial talent pipeline and economic development solution. These registered apprenticeships have also been proven to address many workforce challenges directly by matching well-trained, highly skilled, invested jobseekers to organizations choosing apprenticeship as an economic solution. Despite…

The purpose of this study was to explore the competencies of those professionals working in the nascent area of Learning Experience Design (LXD). Following systematic procedures and inspiration from our conceptual framework of LXD that emphasizes knowledge, skill, and ability statements (KSA), we collected and coded N = 388 unique LXD job…
