While mobile devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous (even in low-income families in the United States) and are being used for educational purposes, it is unclear how these technological tools may benefit letter learning (a foundational precursor to early literacy achievement) in preschool children. To contribute clarity, this study tested…

The purpose of this research study is to determine how successful teachers allocate class time between the need for students to meet high-stakes testing and creating a constructivist learning environment that prepares students for real-world careers. In this study, I used an explanatory sequential mixed method design to explore how much class time…

English listening multimedia teaching courseware has the characteristics of both illustration and text, sound, and shape and provides a variety of possibilities for modern English listening teaching methods.

According to co-constructivism theory, learning is a social activity. Students are expected to find many opportunities at Science lessons to construct their collective culture and co-construct their culture since science lessons tend to collaborate. This study aims to develop a scale that measures the co-constructivist environment at 7th and 8th…

Numerous studies show positive cognitive and affective results regarding the adoption of mobile learning; however, adoption levels are low, and when mobile learning occurs, it is not always based on innovative pedagogies. The main objective of this study is to identify and analyse key design principles to develop a model for the adoption of mobile…

The aim of this study is to examine the views of ninth grade students about 5E-based STEM learning strategies in the atomic and periodic system unit. The research was carried out with phenomenology which is one of the qualitative research designs. Purposive sampling was used and eight students participated in the study. The data was collected…

Purpose: It is argued that the constructivist physical education has the potential to overcome socioeconomic (SES) constraints and promote learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which school SES-related class environmental factors influenced student learning in a constructivist physical education context. Methods:…

Purpose: One of the misconceptions of teaching and learning for practical-based programmes, such as engineering, sciences, architecture, design and arts, is the necessity to deliver via face-to-face physical modality. This paper refutes this claim by providing case studies of best practices in delivering such courses and their hands-on skillsets…

This paper addresses a gap in the literature about the study of the implementation of cooperative/collaborative group learning, and the assessment of its efficacy in facilitating transformative learning in the context of graduate studies. These topics have been widely discussed in the scholarly literature at the K-12 and post-secondary (college…

This study examines the impact of constructivist physics lessons and laboratory activities on middle and high school students' academic success. Utilizing the constructivist learning model, which emphasizes active student engagement, the research was conducted at Hyperion Theoretical High School in Chi?inau, Moldova, involving 195 students across…

Many teaching strategies have been postulated over the past years by various scholars in an effort to enhance the education system among students with intellectual disabilities. There is much debate on the application of constructivist and behaviorist perspectives for teaching students with intellectual disabilities as addressed in this paper.…

The Ghanaian senior high-school history curriculum encourages teachers to guide students to explore, question and construct historical interpretations, rather than accept established historical narratives. This study investigates how those teachers conceive and implement the curriculum intent by exploring their pedagogical reasoning and classroom…

In the following study we investigate how young learners engage with music and movement to illustrate their understandings and connections to nature. We discover a symbiotic relationship between the performing arts, Social Emotional Learning, and Mindful Learning over the course of six months, and examine the potentials and constraints of this…

Business schools could be more effective in teaching students how to create new business models. Skills for "de novo" business model generation and exploration are now commonly taught in undergraduate business programs. Innovation, however, is often presented as a theoretical topic leaving the fuzzy front-end of this process to the…

Peer group mentoring is a dynamic, relational learning experience. In this paper, the authors explore the lived experiences of seven peer group mentoring participants -- representing three different peer mentoring groups. All seven participants were NCAA Division III female basketball athletes on the same team at the same institution in a…
