Given sample data, how do you calculate the value of a parameter? While this question is impossible to answer, it is frequently encountered in statistics classes when students are introduced to the distinction between a sample and a population (or between a statistic and a parameter). It is not uncommon for teachers of statistics to also confuse…

This study focuses on the practical teaching mode of vocational education under the background of Internet Plus. The traditional model has some problems, such as lack of resources, single method, weak teachers and one-sided evaluation. The internet has brought many positive effects on practical teaching, such as expanding resources, providing…

Under the appropriate conditions, oscillatory chemical reactions have the capacity to generate chemical waves and spatial patterns. Among these structures, Turing patterns are a distinct class that, to date, has not been commonly demonstrated in a classroom environment. We present here a novel, practical procedure for the demonstration of Turing…

Theoretical Background: Previous studies indicate that students' learning motivation varies across learning situations and is influenced by situational characteristics such as teaching behaviour. We focus on instructional clarity as one factor that may influence expectancies and task values. Aims and Research Questions: This study combines a…

Video lectures in massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide an opportunity to not only deliver instructional content but also engage learners. While there are many different styles of video lectures, it is not clear how video styles affect learner engagement. This study analysed and critiqued different typologies of video styles and classified…

Instructional videos have been increasingly critical to afford effective learning experiences in online courses, but most videos follow a lecturing monolog delivery format. This format tends to lead students to observe the videos passively. Previous laboratory studies have indicated that observing dialog videos of an instructor tutoring a tutee…

This paper introduces a framework aimed at assessing the sustainability of fashion designers, intending to evaluate their proficiency in sustainability and enhance higher education in design. To establish a system for assessing and evaluating sustainable design competence, we initiated interviews with both designers and fashion design students.…

Rubrics play a crucial role in shaping educational assessment, providing clear criteria for both teaching and learning. The advent of online rubric platforms has the potential to significantly enhance the effectiveness of rubrics in educational contexts, offering innovative features for assessment and feedback through the creation of erubrics.…

Purpose: While numerous studies have explored the challenges of teaching physical education during COVID-19, there is a gap in research on physical education post-COVID-19. Therefore, this study aimed to examine physical education practices post-COVID-19, focusing on the changes in curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Method: A mixed method…

This Case Study reviews a quasi-experimental research project in the field of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Researching the effects of pedagogic interventions poses a number of methodologic challenges. Our original research goal was to create an assignment that would ameliorate the problem of content knowledge loss. Teaching and…

This study investigated the effect of video lecture types on the performance of students in computational problem-solving practices. A total of 19 university students participated in the computational problem-solving practices that mostly required declarative knowledge, and 22 university students participated in the computational problem-solving…

Purpose: This study investigated differences in (a) completion of teaching methods courses and (b) participation in professional development opportunities between alternatively and traditionally certified physical educators. Method: The sample included 1,850 physical educators (mean age: 42.7 years, male: 61.7%, female: 38.3%) from the 2017 to…

This research aims to present a Fuzzy Expert System with psychologist expertise that seeks to assist professors, researchers and educational institutions in assessing the level of incorporation of students' Soft Skills while attending Active Learning sessions. The difficulties encountered by higher education institutions, researchers and…

The content analysis included video lectures posted in 208 MOOCs on the Polish educational platform NAVOICA. The aim was to determine their subject matter and the methods of preparing video lectures. It turned out that video lectures were included in 57% of MOOCs, most often related to "Medical and health sciences" and…

In academic studies, some course assignments take the form of presentations. The art of presentation involves conveying messages and one of the methods is by delivering presentations, either face-to-face, synchronously, and/or asynchronously. Presentations require analyzing a topic, processing an article, analyzing ideas, dilemmas, lesson plans,…
