The basic design course mainly focuses on training students in their form development ability, including two parts: graphic figure and three-dimensional form. However, in terms of form development, it is not just to create a certain form arbitrarily, but to convey the creator's intention based on this form. For students who are new to the field of…

Social media have influenced millennials of "ulama" or Muslim scholars in "fatwa" production. They access and use online knowledge to make daily "fatwa" according to community requests. However, limited is known about how the millennial "ulama" acquire and use the knowledge. We carried out an interpretive…

This paper proposes a multilayered methodology for analyzing distance learning students' data to gain insight into the learning progress of the student subjects both in an individual basis and as members of a learning community during the course taking process. The communication aspect is of high importance in educational research. Additionally,…

Emerging scientific knowledge such as the role of epigenetics and neuroplasticity--the brain's capability to constantly rewire with every action, experience, and thought--is fundamentally changing our understanding of the potential impact we can have on our brain. Our brain is formed by our habits in interaction with our body, the environment,…

Finland is known for its high-performing educational system, but local assessments have shown that performance has declined during the past decade. We report the results of nationally representative learning to learn assessments in which 15-year-olds took an identical test in the same schools in 2001, 2012 and 2017. The results show that the level…

Learning in any domain depends on how the data for learning are represented. In the domain of language acquisition, children's representations of the speech they hear determine what generalizations they can draw about their target grammar. But these input representations change over development as a function of children's developing linguistic…

To support digital literacies in schools, fundamental reorientation and rethinking is required to develop 'appropriate' pedagogical practices which are aligned with (and extend) the current curriculum. To achieve this, new flexible frameworks and tools are needed to support educators to work creatively and productively within the current…

This study aims to assess high school students' learning outcomes, their achievement of goals and fulfilling academic requirements and how the entire teaching and learning process takes place. The study, consisting of an experimental group and a control group was conducted for pre-test and post-test comparisons of the academic performance of 88…

Children with ADHD face unique learning needs that are sometimes difficult to accommodate in the classroom. This article presents findings from a qualitative study of seven students with ADHD. Students wanted teachers to initiate classroom support subtly, be available for conversations about their learning, and value peer relationships as…

This study aims to determine the effect of the cognitive conflict approach on the elimination of misconceptions in square root numbers. For this purpose, this study was conducted with 8th-grade students of a secondary school in a region of Turkey. A three tiered diagnostic test was used to determine the impact of the 5-step cognitive conflict…

Tangent lines are often first introduced to students in geometry during the study of circles. The topic may be repeatedly reintroduced to students in different contexts throughout their schooling, and often each reintroduction is accompanied by a new, nonequivalent definition of tangent lines. In calculus, tangent lines are again reintroduced to…

The aim of this study is to explore how Hungarian university teachers at a faculty of social sciences adapt developmental initiations in mentoring relationships. These relationships are designed to maximise reflective space through various mentoring structures without predefined mentoring roles. This study presents findings from a pilot faculty…

Learning channels refer to the way students receive instruction and respond to it. We examined the relationship between See-Say and See-Write learning channel sets during the mathematical practice of four male autistic students, aged 8 to 14 years. Participants received practice in the ×7 and ×8 tables across both channel sets. Lessons included…

The article offers analyses of the phenomenon of copying (plagiarism) in higher education. The analyses were based on a quantitative survey using questionnaires, conducted in 2019 at one of the Polish universities. Plagiarism is discussed here both as an element of the learning process and a subject of public practices. The article presents…

In the last two decades, studying the possible relations between the history of mathematics and mathematics education has revealed the importance of certain foundational issues concerning the nature, relevance and validity of historical knowledge vis-à-vis problems of teaching and learning, which call for deeper exploration. Reviewing aspects of…
