How best to summarise the professional work of sport scientists? What if we were to view them as artisans? As enskiled crafts-persons who think "through" and "with" their materials? What implications would this idea have for how we take up with research and ensuing scientific methods? Here, we explore these philosophical…

One-minute papers allow students to process what they learned during class and improve student performance. However, this activity can become monotonous and takes significantly longer than the name implies. The research described here tests the effectiveness of a briefer, more flexible version of this technique to increase the perceived relevance…

Background: This study aimed to develop and test new analytics for knowledge-building practices from the transactive perspective. Based on a literature review, network analysis was identified as a promising analytical tool for these practices. We observed two aspects of network analysis that could be further developed: the multilayers of networks…

HyFlex learning environments have been meeting the unique needs of students and institutions for nearly 20 years. However, it was the pandemic that gave HyFlex its widespread acceptance and application. Literature suggests that HyFlex may now be considered part of the new norm in education and therefore, further study is needed on how it affects…

The use of digital media among student community has increased their level of distraction during classroom teaching. Capturing their attention in classrooms, has become a cumbersome task for teaching faculty. Therefore, most of the academic institutions have resorted to the use of activity-based learning for science and engineering students that…

This paper responds to calls from teacher-student feedback research looking for options on how to improve student performance. In Study 1, we first observe the relationship between student conscientiousness, midterm-performance, feedback-seeking behaviors, and final semester grades. Second, in Study 2, we test whether using an active learning…

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effects of active learning activities on viola students' performance and motivation. One group pretest-posttest experimental design was used in the study. The study group consist of 10 students, 7 of them receiving Viola training within the scope of the Individual Instrument course at Gaziosmanpasa…

Traditional learning management systems are cloud-based and teacher-centric, limiting accessibility, flexibility, and student-centered learning. We present the Active Learning EXperience (ALEX), a decentralized learning management system aligned with Education 4.0, supporting flipped and project-based learning. ALEX leverages Web3 technologies…

Machine learning (ML) models are fundamentally shaped by data, and building inclusive ML systems requires significant considerations around how to design representative datasets. Yet, few novice-oriented ML modeling tools are designed to foster hands-on learning of dataset design practices, including how to design for data diversity and inspect…

Adaptive digital learning courseware is becoming part of the instructor tool kit to support student performance and ultimately reduce DFWI rates. However, past studies of the effectiveness of adaptive digital learning platforms in elevating student performance on summative assessment have shown promising yet at times mixed reviews (e.g. Yarnall et…

This research examines the literacy and knowledge transmission of Huaci Yaogu, focusing on educational strategies and practices in Henan, China. The study employed a qualitative research methodology, which entailed conducting interviews and making observations. The study highlights multiple methods teachers' colleges in Henan Province implemented…

In the disciplines of dance and mathematics, binary identities commonly split individuals into either (non)dance and/or (non)math people. However, these shorthand assessments become dangerous because they constrain disciplinary knowledge, and limiting one's identity and capabilities remains antithetical to broad education goals. Capitalizing on…

In the present manuscript, we report the findings of a study that surveyed female college students' views of revamped Islamic and Arabic Culture courses embedded in the curriculum of a secular academic program in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Of interest were students' views of and responses to recently implemented features of the curriculum and…

Student engagement is often described as 'the holy grail of learning' (Sinatra, Heddy and Lombardi, 2015, p.1). Higher education educators have been implementing different pedagogical approaches to promote active learning with the aim of improving student engagement. This paper proposes an activity-based learning approach with the use of…

This paper details a unique study undertaken at a regional Western Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) Aboriginal boarding school, describing the research design, an overview of the research project and the findings that evolved. The study sought to answer the question of how well the school was preparing its young people to…
