Download full textCalalb, Mihail – Athens Journal of Education, 2023
A detailed characteristic of teaching and learning approaches used within the new concept of Learning by Being (LBB) is given. The evolution of educational paradigms from Learning by Doing (LBD) and Learning by Understanding (LBU) toward LBB is analyzed. The basic idea of LBB is students' ownership on cognitive goals, or the assumption of learning…

Sengul, Ozden – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2021
This article is prepared as part of a "Practice Teaching in Science" course of a teacher education program aiming for developing prospective science teachers' teaching through inquiry-based instruction involving practices of science and active learning strategies. During the semester, student teachers are required to prepare four…

Slisko, Josip – Knowledge Management & E-Learning, 2021
Research shows that traditional teacher-and-content-centered education doesn't give students good preparation in critical and creative thinking. This article presents a qualitative study of student performances in two original learning tasks, one related to critical thinking and the other related to creative thinking. The study was carried out in…

Sumrall, Jeanne Lambert; Clary, Renee; Watson, Joshua C. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2015
Knowing an individual's geographic affiliation may be useful in evaluating a student's previous knowledge. To test this hypothesis, students in an online master's program were given presurveys to evaluate their previous knowledge in meteorology and geology, as well as geological and meteorological sense-of-place surveys.

Colvin, Kimberly F.; Champaign, John; Liu, Alwina; Zhou, Qian; Fredericks, Colin; Pritchard, David E. – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2014
We studied student learning in the MOOC 8.MReV Mechanics ReView, run on the edX.org open source platform. We studied learning in two ways. We administered 13 conceptual questions both before and after instruction, analyzing the results using standard techniques for pre- and posttesting. We also analyzed each week's homework and test questions in…

Arvaja, Maarit – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2012
The aim of this case study was to explore health-education students' personal and collaborative meaning making activities during an online science philosophy course in the higher-education context. Through applying the dialogical perspective for learning, the focus was on studying how different contextual resources were used in building…
