In order to understand the socialization process and the value it has for both the…

This report proposes a framework for describing student analogical reasoning activities in abstract algebra that moves beyond the traditional literature-based treatment of analogical mapping. The Analogical Reasoning in Mathematics (ARM) framework captures the activities that students engage in when anticipating, creating, and reasoning from…

In this enquiry, I (the first author) as a teacher of English as a foreign language (EFL) reflect on my own deep-seated reluctance to use pair/group work activities in my classroom, although I am aware of the benefits of pair/group activities for second language (L2) learning as abundantly documented in empirical studies. Through an…

This quantitative, quasi-experimental study aimed to propose research-based AI constructivist learning activities by measuring students' self-perceptions of their critical thinking using the Motivational Strategies and Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The study utilized the input-experience-output framework to evaluate how these learning pursuits…
