Team-based learning (TBL) is one pedagogy used to promote active learning. While TBL was initially implemented in the face-to-face classroom, there is a growing need for collaborative pedagogies in online classrooms. Course delivery in an online classroom may include a variety of formats and be accompanied by challenges related to the transition…

Critical incidents, which may appear insignificant at first, could pave the way for effective learning in English language learning environments. This study aimed to explore the effects of sharing critical incidents on learning experiences and self-efficacy beliefs of EFL learners attending the preparatory year program at the tertiary level. The…

Online education is considered a type of education in which students and faculty members use their own devices to access the internet instead of presenting physically in the institution. The present study aimed to explore positive exploration of online teaching-learning at the postgraduate level at the University of Dhaka. Under a qualitative…

This study highlights research trends and teaching methods in inquiry-based learning in Japan's elementary school curriculum of the "period for integrated studies" by conducting a scoping review of existing literature. Thirty papers that focused on teaching methods for inquiry-based learning were reviewed, and five subthemes were…

Dealing with students' conceptions is a central element of student-oriented teaching. Approaches, such as the mainly cognitive conceptual change theory, have been supplemented by a variety of affective and motivational factors. Little is yet known about the mechanism linking these factors. This qualitative study aims to shed light on the process…

Authentic reading texts intended for everyday communication, rather than those specifically designed for second language (L2) instruction, often provide rich, contextualized examples of natural language use that support L2acquisition. However, such texts can be challenging for learners to comprehend because of unfamiliar vocabulary and complex…

We examine whether highlighting streaks--instances of repeated and consecutive behavior when completing learning tasks--encourages 4th to 6th grade students in Peru to increase their use of an online math platform and improve learning. 60,000 students were randomly assigned to receive messages that (i) highlighted streaks, (ii) provided…

Second language (L2) viewing with captions (i.e., L2 on-screen text) is now a proliferating as well as promising area of L2 acquisition research. The goal of the present meta-analysis was to examine (a) the relationship between captioned viewing and incidental vocabulary learning and (b) what variables related to learners, treatment, methodology,…

Background: A significant challenge in school STEM education is making connections to real-life contexts beyond the school setting that are relevant and meaningful for students. Another important consideration is how out-of-school learning settings can be integrated to offer students a broad spectrum of self-regulated learning experiences across…

Competent online learners have dexterity as they can manoeuvre a wide range of learning technologies and online learning strategies to learn successfully. In this study, we approach university students' online learning competence as 'online learning dexterity' or an ability to manage different aspects of online learning with appropriate…

Students with learning disorders are often seen primarily through their challenges, with less focus on their strengths, divergent thinking, or mathematical insight. The current study seeks to offer a different view by exploring the arithmetic abilities of third-grade students with learning disorders through the lens of mathematical creativity.…

The hundredth anniversary of the death of a once famous educator, Charlotte Mason, has stimulated renewed interest and research in her philosophy and her practice in primary education, particularly since this was based on the enjoyment, interests and self-motivation of young children. This paper traces the influence of educational ideas in the…

Fluency--the ability to smoothly and comfortably use elements of a language that are already known--is a key aspect of successful language learning. For a classroom activity to promote fluency development, ideally there should be intent to communicate a message, pressure to perform quickly, a great deal of input or output, and no unfamiliar…

This research investigates how Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) affects the learning of English vocabulary in primary school students using a digital game-based educational setting. Using the FLCAS (Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale) created by Horwitz et al. in (Mod Lang J 70:125-132, 1986), participants were split into high-anxiety and…

In this work, 29 features were defined and implemented to be automatically extracted and analysed in the context of NeuroK, a learning platform within the neurodidactics paradigm. Neurodidactics is an educational paradigm that addresses optimization of the learning and teaching process from the perspective of how the brain functions. In this…
