Today's students need more than great teaching of the curricula; they must also be taught the love and strategies of learning. It's time for a balanced approach that teaches students how to access and process information and inspires a desire for continuous learning. Written by renowned researchers and educators, "Great Learners by…

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,…

The purpose of this quantitative, non-experimental, correlational study was to determine if there was a correlation between first-time pass rates on the USMLE Step 1 and the use of active learning strategies in medical school classrooms. For the utility of this study, active learning strategies were defined as any activity in which medical…

In academic studies, some course assignments involve slideshows. The current study examines how students perceive the benefits and shortcomings of slideshows as a course evaluation tool. The study combines qualitative and quantitative tools. Predicated on 66 fully completed questionnaires, we perform qualitative analysis, followed by a…

Learning-oriented assessments have been implemented in the English language classroom to maximize students' ability to acquire a language through their involvement in assessment processes. Nevertheless, empirical studies investigating the oral communication ability of students using learning-oriented assessments remain limited. This study aims to…

Background: Self-related information is difficult to ignore and forget, which brings valuable implications for educational practice. Self-referential encoding techniques involve integrating self-referencing cues during the processing of learning material. However, the evidence base and effective implementation boundaries for these techniques in…

Educational tools like EdPuzzle, PlayPosit, and Kaltura have gained recent attention, as they purportedly empower educators to incorporate questions, quizzes, and discussions into instructional videos. However, there is no empirical evidence on how or under what circumstances these platforms may impact students' learning. A quasi-experimental…

Investigators often rely on the proportion of correct responses in an assessment when describing the impact of early mathematics interventions on child outcomes. Here, we propose a shift in focus to the relative sophistication of problem-solving strategies and offer methodological guidance to researchers interested in working with strategies. We…

The rationality and the effectiveness of classroom teaching behavior directly influence the quality of classroom instruction. Analyzing teaching behavior intelligently can provide robust data support for teacher development and teaching supervision. By observing verbal and nonverbal behaviors of teachers in the classroom, valuable data on…

Visible learning is an imperative of the current instructional process. Visible learning is a concept that refers to the fact that students have a clear understanding of the learning objectives, learning processes, and success criteria, so they can assess their own progress (Hattie & Anderman, 2013). Through active involvement, students become…

The research aimed to analyze the students' abilities in solving realistic mathematics problems using "What-If"-Ethnomathematics Instruments with content focused on plane and space materials. The "What-If"-Ethnomathematics instruments are instruments that enable educators to analyze various errors and obstacles experienced by…

This article aims to share three assessment for learning tools and strategies PE teachers can use when teaching games: (1) hit map for net-barrier games; (2) heat map for territorial/invasion games; and (3) statistical count tool for games. This article also shares some considerations to note when implementing peer-assessment tools.

Assessment for learning, which is one of the assessment genres, is a means of gathering information during teaching and learning and it is helpful to determine students' success in learning. The article aims at examining the understanding of Amharic language teachers on the strategies and challenges of assessment for learning practices. To meet…

Teachers' technological experiences are constrained by limitations in reflective decision-making and theoretical frameworks. Challenges with the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework (TPACK) are often associated with deficits in self-regulation. To effectively develop TPACK, it is recommended that educators focus on enhancing…

An online peer-assessment system typically allows students to give textual feedback to their peers, with the goal of helping the peers improve their work. The amount of help that students receive is highly dependent on the quality of the reviews. Previous studies have investigated using machine learning to detect characteristics of reviews (e.g.,…
