This article explores the teaching of atmosphere for undergraduate geography students. Though many scholars have observed an "atmospheric turn" in the discipline, teaching atmosphere in human geography has received less attention. To this end, the article examines the design and delivery of a "floating workshop" that engaged…

In the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classroom, speaking is a relatively marginalised learning activity, often employed merely to facilitate transition between activities which prioritise communication skills deemed more important. A significant consequence of this privation is limited practice in situated discourse. This paper presents a…

Nurses need to possess clinical reasoning skills to provide safe, quality patient care. The aim of nursing education is to provide nursing students with opportunities to grow and develop into safe and functional entry-level nurses. Research has shown new graduates enter clinical practice unprepared and unable to use necessary clinical reasoning…

Background: In the field of Learning Design, it is common that researchers analyse manually design artefacts created by practitioners, using pedagogically-grounded approaches (e.g., Bloom's Taxonomy), both to understand and later to support practitioners' design practices. Automatizing these high-level pedagogically-grounded analyses would enable…

Background: Given the advancement of mobile and sensing technology, the incorporation of augmented reality (AR) in context-aware ubiquitous learning (CAUL) has offered significant benefits to oral communication development in foreign language learning. Although a great number of studies have been dedicated in this field, only a little research was…

This case study analyzes engagement during situated learning students engaged in the Global Game Jam, a three-day game development event. The themes identified as indicators of engagement for thematic analysis during this research were from the National Center for Educational Statistics' (NCES) National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The…

Supporting young students in developing meanings for the set-theoretic function definition is emphasized in 6th-12th grade curricula around the world. In prior work, we have highlighted how covariational reasoning supports college students in constructing relationships that afford considering mathematical properties important for a set-theoretic…

Many countries have incorporated computational thinking (CT) and programming languages into their science and technology courses. Students can improve their CT ability by learning programming languages. Moreover, situated learning enables students to generate knowledge and master problem-solving skills through interaction with situations. This…

We live in the challenging times of the 21st-century with the increased need for humans to possess specific skills that will help them to be successful in this era. This means that education should in learners, develop these skills effectively. Different global countries have begun to recognize the significance of multiple solutions tasks in the…

The study is a conceptualization of cognitive apprenticeship model of teaching and learning applied to the teaching of philosophy. The study described how cognitive apprenticeship instructional strategies can be applied to facilitate rapid learning of philosophy of education course by especially non-specialized (in philosophy) students. The…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of smart pedagogy to facilitate the high order thinking skills of students and to provide the design suggestion of curriculum and intelligent tutoring systems in smart education. Design/methodology/approach: A smart pedagogy framework was designed. The quasi-experiment was conducted in a…

This design case describes the development of three analog games intended to introduce middle school-age girls to core computer science (CS) concepts. We describe the learning objectives, game mechanics, and narrative elements of each game, and some key problems and decisions that we confronted during the design process. Our design process was…

This study is part of a larger project exploring students' thinking of Dynamic Measurement (DYME), an approach to area measurement that engages students in dynamic digital experiences of measuring rectangular surfaces through sweeping lengths. The goal of this study was to evaluate the extent to which students could bridge the mathematical…

The purpose of this study was to understand how biology teachers experienced and learned from professional development (PD) in which the 5R Instructional Model was used as a framework for planning inclusive lesson for emerging multilingual learners (EML). The PD integrated biology content with the scientific practices of using mathematical…
