The purpose of this study was firstly to investigate the mathematical metacognitive characteristics of high-efficiency students by comparing high-efficiency and low-efficiency students. Secondly, the aim was to explore the pathways of mathematical metacognition of efficient mathematics learners in mathematics achievement. In this study,…

The demand for university education to produce good graduate students for emerging nations to deal with global adjustments in the learning environment looks to be increasing as global technological advancements accelerate. Although, educational institutions could evolve technologically to increase students' potential to differentiate, particularly…

Multimedia learning often consists of a sequence of tasks, and research suggests that the sequence itself may influence learning outcomes. This study examines one theory related to task sequencing, known as ego depletion, and its interaction with a well-established instructional design effect, the seductive details effect. To investigate the…

Prior research indicates that student teachers frequently have misconceptions about multimedia learning. Our experiment with N = 96 student teachers revealed that, in contrast to standard texts, refutation texts are effective to address misconceptions about multimedia learning. However, there seems to be no added benefit of making…

As the years progresses, higher education has move towards implementing Blended Learning (BL) which is a combination of face-to-face and online mode of teaching and learning which have continued to advance in institutions all over the world. Accordingly, it is important to investigate the factors that may influence lecturers' perception towards BL…

Pedagogy is a term used broadly to refer to both how and why an educator influences learning. Given the importance of quality transformative learning experiences noted in the sustainability education literature, the role of an educator's values, assumptions and philosophy underpinning their educational capability for the provision of learning…

Given growing systemic investment in the designing of new learning spaces, researching the relationships between physical space and learning and teaching processes is imperative. Researching innovative learning spaces is challenging, therefore the aim of this paper is to demonstrate a pedagogical characterization based on a three-dimensional…

Advanced undergraduate students struggle with executing complete research projects that involve data collection and analysis. Research indicates that engaging in undergraduate research is a high-impact practice. The American Sociological Association recommends that sociology majors engage in research beyond their research methods and statistics…

Given the contemporary polarized political landscape and the elective nature of much music teaching and learning, it is important that music educators understand how they reinforce or undermine stakeholders' political beliefs. The purpose of this inquiry is to investigate alignment between Lakoff's moral-political metaphors and Allsup's main ideas…

Covariational reasoning and the creation and interpretation of graphs of covariational situations are important skills in math and science. Unfortunately, research shows that students often struggle to make meaningful connections between graphs and the covariational situations they represent. Educational activities designed to help students…

This paper focuses on the time teachers take to adapt to a student-centred inquiry approach to teaching mathematics, the nature of those changes and the reasons for variations in both these aspects among teachers within and across schools. Five numeracy experts, who worked with 200 Foundation to Year 2 teachers to facilitate the implementation of…

The role and importance of technology applications in increasing the cognitive and affective learning of students have been accepted. For this reason, it has been considered important to use different materials and various educational technologies in the preparation of active learning environments. In this context, the effect of the use of the…

Amidst ongoing technological and social change, this article explores the implications for critical education that result from a data-driven model of digital governance. The article argues that traditional notions of critique which rely upon the deconstruction and analysis of texts are increasingly redundant in the age of datafication, where the…

This work presents an evaluation of a unified Calculus 1 course in a large Brazilian federal university. By course unification we mean having all the sections following the same weekly schedule, under the same syllabus and common assessment. We analyse two sets of data: pass rates relative to the 9 semesters prior to the unification and to the…

Technology, globalization, and work environments are changing the educational environment which has necessitated to train teachers and students. Teachers who recognize the potential benefits of blended learning for student achievement are more likely to embrace the integration of technology and use it to improve classroom teaching and learning.…
