The present study connects broad educational conceptualizations of teaching method challenges with a detailed and innovative approach to students and teacher collaboration seen in cognitive stress measurements from wearable devices. The approach encompasses variances of collaborative performance in schools through uniquely correlated variables of…

This article presents explorations of co-choreographing the early years dance pedagogical settings through dialogical and intra-active approaches in the context of artistic research. It discusses how to choreograph the pedagogical settings in such a manner, that the distribution of the artistic agency would become more equal, and the complex…

In recent years, the landscape of higher education has witnessed a transformative wave with the emergence of ChatGPT, an advanced artificial intelligence tool. This paper explores the profound impact of ChatGPT on collaborative learning in higher education institutions. ChatGPT's capabilities in facilitating dynamic and interactive learning…

With the Interactive-Constructive-Active-Passive (ICAP) framework as a foundation, author Robby Robinette presents two activities that teachers can use to incorporate collaboration into their online (and in-person) classes. The activities make use of students' prior knowledge. The author suggests sources where teachers can find reading texts that…

Flipped learning has attracted increasing attention in all grade levels in recent years and becomes an alternative to the traditional model. Even though there is a large body of research on flipped classrooms, they usually ignore the learning theories that were used to construct the curriculum and instead concentrate on the degree to which using…

This study compares the effects of student-centred teaching methods, teacher-centred methods, and teacher-student interactive methods on students' mathematics academic achievement. For this purpose, calculus, compound interest, annuities, and depreciation topics were taught to first-year college students in three different groups: traditional…

This study investigated the role of interactivity on the protégé effect, and explored how biology teachers can utilize it in their classrooms to reduce rote learning and facilitate long-term retention. This investigation utilized the generative learning theory, and adopted a non-equivalent quasi- experimental research design involving 60 students.…

This study analysed the instructors' teaching presence of three courses conducted by an instructor to explore the effects of the instructors' online teaching presence on students' interactions and collaborative knowledge constructions. Content analysis, social network analysis, and lag sequential analysis were used to explore the mechanism of…

The evolution of modern technologies in digital environments has led to a growing demand for marketing educators to stay innovative and prepare students to adapt to the challenges of today's marketplace. In this article, we present a peer teaching approach, the jigsaw method, as an alternative instructional tool to be used in digital marketing…

In order to conceptualize materials used in pair-work activities from a sociomaterialist perspective, this study examined the moment-by-moment unfolding of 67 pair-work interactions in beginner-level Japanese-as-a-foreign-language classrooms. The types of pair-work materials used in the focal classrooms--either textbook or teacher-designed…

While effective interaction is the most important element of any learning environment, its importance in e-learning has been often ignored. As a result, many e-learning environments suffer from lack of impactful interactions, leading to diminished student engagement. This study aims to address this gap by investigating methods to optimise…

Team-based learning (TBL) is a research-based instructional practice (RBIP) shown to increase students' content knowledge, class engagement, motivation, and science self-efficacy. After several years of using TBL in an upper-division biochemistry course and noting the same positive effects, we were hesitant to abandon TBL when forced to consider…

The use of group drawing to promote student-generated representation is a common instructional strategy as it combines the benefits of using visual representation and collaborative talk. Although the affordances of group drawing have increasingly been emphasized in science education, few studies have investigated how drawing as a visual mode…

Educational directors and teachers have shown tremendous interest in developing interactive learning environments in educational contexts. This study examined the conceptualization of face-to-face teachers (n = 35) and online teachers (n = 26) in implementing interactive learning. A mixed-methods design using questionnaires and interviews was…

Led by a premise that effective cooperative tasks play a vital role in enhancing Cognitive Engagement (CE) and task achievement in ESL/EFL teaching, this study investigates the effects of Cooperative Learning (CL) on Omani Bachelor of Education (B. Ed.) students' CE and task achievement. This quasiexperimental study has three objectives: (i) To…
