Cognitive approaches to teaching generate learning through the interaction between the subject and object of study. One of the strategies to create this interaction is related to the application of virtual and augmented reality in the teaching-learning processes. Through a systematic literature review, this work aims to describe the approaches…

A subject of physics includes various complex and sophisticated concepts that pose a challenge for both instructors to teach and students to grasp the clarity in the subject. Many researchers have discussed this challenge toward adopting an appropriate approach to teach physics in the institution. Therefore, the study reviews the research articles…

Dolls have accompanied children with a variety of activities, including the practice of reading. However, the current literature has neglected to provide empirical support that reading to dolls has influenced reading fluency or the child's belief in their reading ability, known as reader self-efficacy. This study sought to answer the questions of…

Laboratory activities are a prevalent and essential part of chemistry learning because of their potential to help students develop problem solving abilities, visualize chemistry concepts learned in lecture, and gain practical skills. However, learning in the laboratory environment is not without its challenges. For example, cookbook-style…

This paper reports on the development of six student teachers' knowledge of instructional strategies (KOIS) for teaching proportions during a 2-month practicum in China. Development of four subcomponents was explored through Content Representation (CoRe) questionnaires and follow-up interviews. Data was analysed deductively and levels of each…

The integration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approaches into learning continues to attract the attention of researchers and academics. Teachers play a key role in the success and support of learning when implementing STEM-based learning. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview, building on previous…

The game-mediated second and foreign language (GML2) field investigates how games can be used in facilitating L2 teaching and learning. This review explores how researchers define and differentiate among GML2 practices. A total of 51 publications from 2010 to 2021 were analyzed, revealing that only 40% of the publications defined GML2 practices,…

Eye movement modeling examples (EMMEs) are instructional videos (e.g., tutorials) that visualize another person's gaze location while they demonstrate how to perform a task. This systematic literature review provides a detailed overview of studies on the effects of EMME to foster observers' performance and learning and highlights their differences…

This article explores the use of an interactive mnemonic device called a "Map of Memories" to navigate the museum theater production "Our Footprints," staged in 2017 in the Bergtheil Museum in Durban, South Africa. The Map is an interactive tool used by audience members to explore the exhibits and the performance through…

Academic freedom is seriously under threat. Here I will consider how the marketisation of Higher Education has exacerbated the decline of 'academic freedom'. While the effects of a 'cancel culture' on university provision are difficult to ignore, threats to academic freedom raise a number of questions, such as: 'who is allowed to speak on…

Research on second language (L2) collaborative writing (CW) has proliferated over the recent decade and will continue to bloom due to the changing landscape of writing and learning in the digital age. This article provides a research agenda on CW in L2 classrooms. We illustrate six research themes for future research inquiry by pointing out the…

This book argues that mathematical challenge can be found at any level and at every age and constitutes an essential characteristic of any mathematics classroom aimed at developing the students' mathematical knowledge and skills. Since each mathematics classroom is heterogeneous with respect to students' mathematical potential, quality…

Language education evolves and is shaped by the needs of the generations as well as the contemporary realities of the world. Today, humanity faces with rapid developments and innovations in technology and science. These realities shape the society and each community in the world. In this regard, the term Generation Z (Gen Z) has emerged. Gen Z has…

Emotions are vital to learning success, especially in online learning environments. They make the difference between learning success and failure. Unfortunately, learners' emotional state is still rarely considered in online learning and teaching, although it is an important driver of learning success. This paper reports a work-in-progress…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore and establish the contours of trust in learning analytics and to establish steps that institutions might take to address the "trust deficit" in learning analytics. Design/methodology/approach: "Trust" has always been part and parcel of learning analytics research and practice,…
