PoliCultura is a collaborative digital storytelling program for schools (K-12), which has gathered so far more than 41,000 students. It is an example of authentic learning experience, for a number of reasons, including the fact that students are required to do a "professional" work that will be made public in the frame of a competition.…

Over the past twenty years, using learning management systems in higher education has attracted increasing interest from researchers around the globe. In this context, the current study aimed to explore the volume, growth trajectory, and geographic distribution of learning management systems in higher education literature, along with identifying…

So far, the synergistic relationship between learning design and learning analytics and its impact on learners' educational practices have been investigated. However, little work has been done to show how integrated learning design based on constructivism learning theory and learning analytics can affect learners' engagement and self-regulation.…

Physics-related tricks that use simple everyday materials, which many children attempt, are often entertaining, memorable, and motivate their interest to physics. One example is balancing a stick on a fingertip or open palm (Fig. 1). To balance a stick, there are two important aspects that must be considered: (1) the rotational dynamics of the…

Escape rooms are an increasingly popular activity that many people engage in recreationally. This modality adapted for education purposes consists of a series of content driven puzzles and challenges that lead students to transverse their way out of a room. The purpose of this article is to: (a) align escape rooms with educational theory (b)…

In March of 2020, many school systems transitioned to fully virtual platforms in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19. In the following months, schools remained online, transitioned to hybrid (partially online, partially in-person) models, or reopened completely. School-based mental health professionals (SBMHPs) remained responsible for…

The aim of this mixed-method pilot study was to expand the understanding of potential methods to support collaboration between vocational schools and workplaces and to enhance workplace guidance processes.

Navigating spaces of becoming-with…

As the country continues to reckon with the historical and present-day realities of systemic oppression, particularly as it impacts Black individuals and communities, it is critical that human service organizations advance beyond statements condemning forms of anti-Black racism. Institutional efforts to address anti-Black racism must embody…

Contemporary research that looks at self-regulated learning (SRL) as processes of learning events derived from trace data has attracted increasing interest over the past decade. However, limited research has been conducted that looks into the validity of trace-based measurement protocols. In order to fill this gap in the literature, we propose a…

Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) is a learning method that promotes authentic learning through real-world circumstances. eLearning software allows for the creation of robust Scenario-Based eLearning (SBeL). These modules harness student-content interaction to provide an effective learning experience. This study compares the perceived learning, flow,…

For decades, the field of workplace selection has been dominated by evidence that cognitive ability is the most important factor in predicting performance. Meta-analyses detailing the contributions of a wide-range of factors to workplace performance show that cognitive ability's contribution is partly mediated by the learning of task-relevant…

Purpose: This paper aims to analyze how a tangram activity improved students' abilities to explain sustainability, articulate a positive perception of sustainable design and relate sustainability with innovation in engineering design. Design/methodology/approach: The concept of paradigm shift was introduced in the classroom by using a tangram…

Generating written explanations is a popular learning strategy in an online learning environment. Students can explain to themselves (ie, self-explanations) or a peer-student (ie, instructional explanations). However, for improving learning from video lectures, it is unclear whether writing self-explanations is more beneficial than writing…

The aim of this study is to identify the impact of Group-Based Flipped Learning (GBFL) in improving higher order thinking skills among pre-service teachers.
