Building on active, experiential, and situated learning, the Retail Safari brings together students and executives in a retail setting to witness first-hand how course knowledge will play out in the aisles and shelves of the retail world. Retail Safari was evaluated favorably in terms of pedagogical affect, perceived value of the course content,…

This study assessed the developmental profile of unisensory and multisensory processes, and their contribution to children's intellectual abilities (8- and 11-year olds, N = 38, compared to adults, N = 19) using a simple audiovisual detection task and three incidental associative learning tasks with different sensory signals: visual-verbal with…

With the rapid growth of education data in large-scale assessment, machine learning techniques are crucial to the interdisciplinary development of education and information. Although data mining tools are increasingly used to predict overall student performance, resilient students in the digital world remain unstudied. Our study aims to…

This paper discusses the importance of definitions in the context of academic discussion, highlights the inconsistent terminology used to describe e-learning, and examines a range of different definitions of e-learning used by academic authors since 2011. Following an outline of the methodology, the paper identifies 15 unique definitions of…

The present study examined the cross-modal cueing effect of musical rhythmic beats on non-native speech rhythm production. Two groups of Chinese learners of French were cued respectively with rhythmic beats that either matched (matching group) or mismatched (mismatching group) the rhythm patterns of the target French sentences. The participants…

This article serves as a starting point for teachers to understand the core values of martial arts that can be incorporated into physical education to promote social-emotional learning and how to integrate martial arts in physical education.

Online learning is emphasised in the 21st century curricula as one of the efficient instructional practices that improves the learning ownership of contemporary learners. A key factor in ensuring success in learners' online learning environments is the implementation of learner control. Learner control motivation is influenced by multiple…

Approaches to Learning (AtL) is widely included in many state standards for preK, as a process-oriented disposition that describes how children learn. Play is one pedagogical strategy teachers can employ to support the development of AtL. This paper uses Vygotsky's depiction of two kinds of play, object play and socio-dramatic play, to provide the…

Researchers increasingly employ longitudinal trajectory methods to understand developmental pathways of people on the autism spectrum across the lifespan. By assessing developmental or health-related outcome domains at three or more timepoints, trajectory studies can characterize their shape and varying rates of change over time. The purpose of…

The rise of massive open online courses (MOOCs) brings rich opportunities for understanding learners' experiences based on analyzing learner-generated content such as course reviews. Traditionally, the unstructured textual data is analyzed qualitatively via manual coding, thus failing to offer a timely understanding of the learner's experiences.…

This article investigates the theoretical link between two approaches to civic character education: Service Learning and the Just Community, given that the two share a strong democratic ethical component. Based on historical research and bibliographical review, we show that John Dewey's pragmatism forms a theoretical foundation of both approaches.…

The number line has been proposed as a central construct used by students to solve a range of mathematics problems. Given the capacity of number lines to represent all real numbers and to be used in a variety of contexts, there have been calls to increase the use of number lines in mathematics instruction. However, due to the recency of these…

All professionals face similar problems based on the nature of their work. For example, teachers, hair stylists, chefs, and physicians might appear to have nothing in common, but they must all get better at completing the tasks they are performing. They must all communicate effectively with others and encounter challenges in their work that they…

In many non-human species, learning retention decreases temporarily following training. This has led to the suggestion that these lapses reflect a fundamental component of memory formation. If so, transient memory lapses should also be prevalent in humans, and should occur for all types of learning. In line with these predictions, we report two…

Students benefit from a nonlinear learning path, also known as a nonsequential learning path, because it allows them to control the pace and sequence of their learning. However, the dynamics of a nonlinear learning path, particularly within an open learning environment like MOOCs, remain underexplored. The current study aims to map out various…
