Background: It is crucial to support students in better understanding water and sustainability issues because water plays a vital role in maintaining global ecosystems, including human life. A wide range of curricular and instructional supports like those embodied in model-based learning (MBL) are necessary for teachers to engage students in the…

This study explores the development and evaluation of a chatbot model designed to facilitate learning within a department of a university. The project aims to enhance the learning experience by incorporating customized data into the chatbot's knowledge base, enabling personalized and context-aware interactions. The research investigates the…

Research and development work in artificial intelligence in education (AIED) is wide ranging and rapidly growing to support all areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teaching and learning. At the risk of hyperbole, this is potentially the most fundamentally game-changing technology for education to emerge since the…

This paper aims at understanding the extent to which languages are taught collaboratively in higher education (HE), which team teaching (TT) models have been implemented, and what lessons were learnt from the experiences. Following the Arksey and O'Malley framework [2005. "Scoping Studies: Towards a Methodological Framework."…

As museums evolve and shift toward interactive exhibitions by utilizing cutting-edge technologies, there has been a gap in research that distinguishes interactive exhibit experiences from static exhibit experiences. Therefore, using the grounded theory method [Corbin, Juliet, and Anselm Strauss. "Basics of Qualitative Research: Techniques and…

Learning is an integral part of being human. How people learn has long been discussed, revealed in many learning theories, investigated in numerous studies, and demonstrated in extensive practices. The goal of this article is to rethink how people learn from four fundamental perspectives, that is, learning by interaction with content (C), learning…

This paper discusses the uses and applications of the Pedagogy of Experience Complexity for Smart Learning (PECSL), a four-tier model of considerations for the design and development of smart learning activities. Using existing mobile apps and relevant activities as illustrative examples, the PECSL is applied to indicate concepts and mechanisms by…

Research suggests that most college and beginning graduate students lack the cognitive complexity required to engage in effective practical and ethical reasoning. Studies on cognitive development support the view that how people approach complex problems varies significantly depending on the underlying epistemic assumptions they use to guide their…

As we grow through leisure education, we tend to manage challenges to leisure and gravitate to positive experiences. These positive encounters transport us toward achieving the ultimate goals of experiencing leisure, being happy, and flourishing. The intention of "Leisure Education Program Planning, fifth edition," is to share…

Videoshadowing is a synchronous video-collaboration practice for learning foreign languages and cultures; it is related to the field of digital ethnography applied to the development of communicative competence. The study discusses this methodology's strengths as an interpretative and reflective approach; emic perception linguistic data are…

"Ready to Learn" introduces the FRAME model, a results-oriented approach for creating meaningful and motivating learning experience across grade levels and content areas. Rely on the model's five steps--(1) focus, (2) reach, (3) ask, (4) model, and (5) encourage--to help you launch engaging lessons, articulate clear expectations, and…

Despite the importance of physics practical work in higher education, its implementation is often hampered by various constraints and problems. Technology, such as learning management systems (LMS) and mobile learning, can offer solutions to some of these problems and enrich students' learning experiences. Therefore, this research proposes a model…

Professional learning for teachers requires an immense amount of time and resources, but it often shows varying efficacy in terms of shifting teacher practice or impacting student growth. Studies have identified the characteristics that lead to more impactful professional learning experiences. In Cycle 1 research, this study began by asking…

Models are at the heart of any physics discipline, and in recent decades physics education has shifted heavily toward teaching students how to think using models. Involving students in an investigation of a real phenomenon through measurements and the applications of models is an ideal learning experience for a physics student and is the aim of…

Blended learning is fast becoming the new normal and increasingly considered an integral part of program offers within higher education (HE) institutions. Although there is a general consensus about online and physical face to face components, which constitute a framework for blended learning models. There are variances on how these components…
