The best instructional practices for immersive virtual reality (IVR) use in workplace learning contexts remain undefined after decades of research. Increasing the methodological range and rigor in the study of educational IVR have been proposed. To address these issues, we performed a qualitative study that contributed to the development of a…

Purpose: The issue of quality assurance in vocational and technical education (VTE) programs identifies a perilous need to develop a conceptual framework for teaching and learning standards. This study aims to identify standard components for teaching and learning to ensure quality delivery for the achievement of VTE objectives. The quality…

The arrival of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally different from prior technologies used in educational settings. Educators and researchers of online, blended, and in-person learning are still coming to grips with how to employ current AI technologies in the learning experience, let alone understanding the potential…

This study examines the key concepts of elements-and-principles art instruction, as defined in the publications by "Vorkurs" (preliminary course) instructors at the Bauhaus. Elements-and-principles instruction was for decades central to formalist art training, and continues to play a role, albeit limited, today. Preceding accounts of the…

This paper reports on a teaching experiment on mathematical modelling in an upper secondary school class that investigates how the constructs of "model eliciting" and "emergent modelling" may be brought together to inform teaching and learning. A prominent role is covered by the process of task design, seen as a complex process…

The Compulsory Education Course Standards for Mathematics 2022 have highlighted the educational objectives of junior secondary mathematics by emphasizing the development of mathematical competence and practical learning. Model consciousness, as one of the fundamental mathematical competencies to be developed at the junior secondary level, can…

Modeling projects in differential equations and engineering courses create an authentic activity and an opportunity to attain the holy grail of "deeper" learning. However, what do we mean by "deeper" learning and how do we create an environment that encourages that? This article describes a proposal and case study in using…

In the beginning of the 19th century, Humboldt defined Bildung as both process and product of the developing person. In this contribution we discuss how this classical concept may be used for defining subject didactics. We use two complementary approaches to answer it: a historical analysis, and the construction of a theoretical model. 1)…
