Traditionally, design -- and by extension design education -- has focused on the creation of distinct outputs (forms, artefacts, and objects) that satisfy a specific purpose and need. Historically these needs -- and often the designed outputs themselves -- have been dictated not by the designer but by clients and also through established…

This study presents the Terele-model (TEaching, REsearch, LEarning) -- an easy-to-use model that distinguishes different levels of connection between teaching, research and learning. To do this the study uses Johari windows to show clearly and intuitively the five different levels of action and interaction between the teacher and the student. At…

Online learning, especially in higher education, has grown in recent years and the study of its didactic implications has also increased. Online experiences have been found to be as successful as face-to-face ones, but there is a concern about a lack of social interaction among students. This makes it necessary for teachers to plan collaborative…

Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming higher education. It has already challenged the validity of traditional assessment methods and revealed concerns about the authenticity and reliability of conventional approaches. This opinion piece proposes an expanded theoretical framework for contextual learning, incorporating practical, situational,…

This study integrates the TPACK framework into a Preschool Language Education course to examine its effects on pre-service preschool teachers' instructional design competence (IDC). The research aims to explore effective methods for IDC development and analyze its growth characteristics. Using an R&D methodology, this study employed an…

Recent years have witnessed the spread of purpose-built active learning classrooms throughout the higher education sector. While these innovative learning spaces are well-suited for a variety of active learning strategies, their lack of a single focal point means they are inconvenient spaces for lecturing. While educational developers often…

Purpose: This paper aims to examine the barriers to adopting collaboration in architectural design studios from the instructors' perspectives and explore strategies to overcome barriers. Design/methodology/approach: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 coordinators in architecture and interior architecture design studios to gather…

The importance of models and modeling in science education is well-recognized, yet there exists significant polysemy among these terms within the literature. This ambiguity often leads to confusion, particularly regarding whether modeling represents an expected student performance, an instructional strategy to promote such performance, or both.…

This study purposes to investigate the impacts of "theoretical" and "practical" courses on cyber entrepreneurial intention and its leading variables based on TAM/TPB integrated model. Targeted sampling technology is used to compare multiple groups of students who had taken cyber entrepreneurship courses or not, which used…

The present study aimed to describe teachers' instructional flows when implementing a mathematical problem-posing task using scriptwriting technique. With matchsticks, a growing pattern that increases by a constant unit was created and presented to the teachers as a problem-posing situation. We analyzed the instructional flows in 50 scripts,…

Many teacher preparation programs have a commitment to preparing teachers who teach equitably. However, current research shows that many teachers struggle to move beyond theoretical understandings into practical enactments once they enter inhospitable teaching contexts. This case study examines the effect of co-creating a conceptual framework of…

Background and Context: Learning to create self-directed and personally authentic programming projects involves encountering challenges and learning to get unstuck. Objective: This article investigates how one U.S. fourth-grade classroom engaged in practices which emphasized community supports, in the context of the classroom's implementation and…

The adoption of innovative pedagogy without clear guidance in adapting teaching approaches to English language teaching contexts has led to disconnects in meeting students' and teachers' classroom talk needs. One such innovation, the dialogic teaching approach, centres a principled conception of classroom talk to enhance pedagogical practice.…

Introduction: While prior research has delved into the emotional aspects of instructional design, it has not extensively examined whether integrating affective features specifically relevant to the theme of the learning materials is essential for enhancing learning effectiveness compared to incorporating general affective features. This study aims…

Cultural creative design activity and education involve the application of cultural inspiration. This study examines the impact of cultural inspiration distance and timing on designer' creativity in Targeted Cultural Creative Design Pattern (TCCDP). Four design novice groups attended the cultural product design experiment with a combination of…
