Bodies have everything to do with teaching and learning, yet are often overlooked or diminished as sites of meaning-making in educational contexts. The goal of this article is to foreground the body in teaching and learning, and identify the transformative potential that embodied pedagogy opens up. Rooted in intersectional critical theory and…

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…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is critical in online learning, and profiling learners' SRL patterns is needed to provide personalized support. However, little research has examined how each learner performs the cyclical phases of SRL based on trace data. To fill the gap, this study attempts to derive SRL profiles encompassing all cyclical phases of…

Several scholars argue for a closer association between research and teaching in higher education, but it is unclear how research-based teaching can be actualized. Action research (AR) offers designs that position students as actors of the research processes, for example by doing research themselves or co-researching. Therefore, AR and…

Most researchers receive formal training in frequentist statistics during their undergraduate studies. In particular, hypothesis testing is usually rooted on the null hypothesis significance testing paradigm and its p-value. Null hypothesis Bayesian testing and its so-called Bayes factor are now becoming increasingly popular. Although the Bayes…

Purpose: Interest in gamification as a relevant and innovative pedagogical tool has increased in recent years among academics and educators. While considerable literature has focused on the effectiveness of gamified learning, little is known about the motivations behind its adoption. By examining teachers' perspectives, which are often overlooked,…

This study addresses students' approaches to learning the double entry of a financial transaction. A phenomenographic approach was used to collect and analyse qualitative empirical data. By focusing on an under-researched topic, the study contributes to accounting education literature and identifies a set of four hierarchical categories that…

Although previous research provides insights into how gestures function as a pedagogical tool, relatively little is known about how gesture is related to language, together creating a key meaning-making teaching resource. Drawing on the system of logico-semantic relations in Systemic Functional Linguistic theory and McNeill's description of…

Mathematical induction is a powerful method of proof, taught in most undergraduate programs involving mathematics and in secondary schools in some countries. It is also commonly known to be complex and difficult to comprehend. During the last five decades, mathematics education research has produced numerous studies on the learning and teaching of…

In this article, we tackle the phenomenon of what seems to be a misunderstanding between science education theory and philosophy of science--one which does not seem to have received any attention in the literature. While there seems to be a consensus within the realm of science education on limiting or altogether denying the explanatory role of…

Reasoning is the process of thinking used to make claims and reach conclusions. It is among the first skills that should be taught to students in mathematics lessons and contributes to the creation and development of mathematical foundations. This study identifies evolution and trends in research on mathematical reasoning over the last four…

Understanding part-whole relations is crucial in early mathematics education. However, both analogue and digital learning environments often lack systematic approaches to foster part-whole understanding. With the rising popularity of educational apps, it is essential to evaluate how they implement learning of part-whole relations. Accordingly,…

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in schools have become increasingly popular, as these practices can be integrated into classrooms by teachers, adapted to fit the individual needs of students or groups of students, and implemented as a schoolwide commitment to improve well-being. Research shows that MBIs are broadly effective for improving a…

There has been increased attention recently on models and modelling within the global science education field. Research has begun to skew towards a competence-based perspective of models and modelling, as teachers are experiencing challenges and do not have the required competence in modelling from either theoretical or practical perspectives.…

Climate change is one of the most critical challenges of our time, requiring significant responses from all aspects of society, including education. The prevailing responses to climate change tend towards treating the crisis as a predominantly scientific and managerial issue that requires technological solutions or behaviour changes.…
