The digital age 4.0 governs the progress of society and individuals require the acquisition of skills to face this reality. Education is the only way that will allow human beings to adapt to the new global challenges. Therefore, the achievement of productive experiences must be the priority of the current educational system to train competent…

For Jean Herbison, learning in her early 20th century childhood world was relatively uncomplicated and predictable. Life was shaped by unambiguous family, faith and settler colonial prescriptions about how children "should" behave and what they should become. Approaching the centenary of her birth, children today must navigate a very…

Multitasking which has been reported to occur more frequently in online learning classes compared to traditional face-to-face settings has been found to have negative effects on students' learning. Albeit extensive research has been carried out on the effect of multitasking in education, there is scant research that sheds light on multitasking…

Historically, learning for young students has occurred in formal, in-person classroom environments, but the distance learning context has opened a myriad of learning modalities. To this end, we aim to better understand how deploying learning experience design (LXD) approach supports or hinders children's engagement while participating in an…

Driven by new modes of information dissemination in this digital age and propelled by the necessity for online course delivery during the recent pandemic, online education, the current form of distance education, is not only the trend but the reality of teaching and learning today. It utilizes the internet and computer technology to offer…

This paper reports an investigation of values-driven system led policy reform in a Catholic Education Diocese which serves a diverse Australian education community of historically marginalised students, families and communities. The research focused on the development and progressive implementation of a centrally designed, innovative model of…

To improve the learning process, the evolution of learner's characteristics (cognitive, affective, prior knowledge, workflow, organization, ...) must be taken into account during the personalization or adaptation. This requires generating several scenarios (a description of activities, their order and links in the learning sequence as well as the…

Web-based investigative learning is a form of learning where learners investigate Web resources to construct knowledge on a question. In our previous work, we have designed a learning model and a cognitive tool named iLSB to support learners in expanding the initial question into sub-questions so as to deepen and widen their investigation, and in…

This study enhanced the 7E instructional model towards enriching the science inquiry skills of senior high school learners in General Chemistry 1. A total of 136 Grade 12 learners enrolled in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand participated in the study. The study was composed of three phases. In Phase I, the…

The purpose of this phenomenological research study was to examine the phenomenon of living through struggle while learning mathematics on the part of pre-service elementary teachers. We elicited lived-experience descriptions and interviews from 46 participants enrolled in an elementary teacher education program over the course of two years. We…

The concept of orchestration has recently emerged as a useful metaphor in technology-enhanced learning research communities, because of its explanatory power and appeal in describing how different learning activities, tools, and arrangements could be combined to promote learning. More than a buffet of tools offering possibilities to the teachers,…

In order to reduce the passivity of students and enhance their learning experience in large lectures, we developed a browser-based tool called Classroom Interacter to promote classroom interaction. It allows students to use their own mobile devices to participate in the learning process. The main features of Classroom Interacter include live…

This study investigated the learning process of preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) through lesson study in a mathematics teaching methods course. Lesson study meeting data of kindergarten PSTs were analyzed to examine the shifting focus on (1) student collaboration in classroom (vision), (2) teaching practices (making content accessible), and…

The purpose of this paper is to report on an assessment task designed to provoke pre-service teacher education students to recollect and share experiences of what enabled and frustrated their learning. The assumption underpinning the creation of this task was that: if teacher education students could, through reflection and discussion, recapture…

Counseling is one of the processes through which men and women may learn to take increasing responsibility for their self-creation as they apply what they learn in classrooms and elsewhere to their life-planning. Counseling is a learning process. Each person is in the process of creating his or her own life; this process will be enhanced by high…
