The aim of this explorative comparative study is to explore how bachelor students are socialized into the instructional method of role-playing in simulation-based professional education programmes. Despite the widespread use of role-play in professional education programmes, there are a limited number of studies on the topic, even though the…

This study aimed to develop and validate the online learning experience scale for art students (OLESA) in higher education. A qualitative-quantitative sequential mixed-method design was used for the instrument validation. According to the widely-accepted scale development process, this study followed the steps of item pool generation, expert…

Background: Computational thinking (CT) is a fundamental ability required of individuals in the 21st-century digital world. Past studies show that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can enhance students' CT skills. However, GenAI may produce inaccurate output, and students who rely too much on AI may learn little and be unable to think…

This study evaluated the effects of Precision Teaching in improving typically developing students' mathematical skills when delivered via teleconferencing in India. Four students received Precision Teaching, while nine acted as control participants. Precision teaching involved instruction in three mathematical skills; two prerequisite skills and…

In most physical education courses, teachers generally observe and interact with students face-to-face, so as to assess their learning status and provide immediate and appropriate guidance. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, practical physical education courses moved completely online. Without physical contact, the safety, assessment, and…

This study examines the distinct and overlapping dimensions of critical and analytical thinking from the perspective of teacher candidates. In the rapidly evolving landscape of the 21st century, these cognitive skills are fundamental to academic achievement and social adaptation. The research aims to evaluate pre-service teachers' tendencies…

This study aims to understand students' views on project development in coding and robotics courses. Focusing on student study groups in this field seeks to provide a broad view using qualitative and quantitative methods. The study group consists of students taking the coding and robotics course. A semi-structured interview form developed by the…

Previous research has shown that conversational language predicts vocational independence and friendship development. This study investigated the efficacy of the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) for School-Based Professionals delivered via Zoom as a pre-employment transition service on the social competence of…

Competencies essential for thriving and competing globally in the 21st century include creative thinking, critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, and communication (often referred to as the 4Cs). This study explores the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL), Electronic Project-Based Learning (E-PBL), and traditional learning…

Teachers' self-efficacy in promoting self-regulated learning (TSE-SRL) is pivotal for self-regulated learning (SRL) practices. This study investigated the effects of mastery and vicarious experiences as sources of self-efficacy within a professional development (PD) program on TSE-SRL. Additionally, the moderating role of teachers' prior SRL…

The use of interactive learning methods is considered crucial in equipping university students with critical skills. This could successfully deal with, and address issues encountered in real-world contexts. It has been noted that most first-year university students often face challenges adjusting to university life due to their background. The…

The Climate Smart Education Systems Initiative (CSESI) is a technical assistance initiative launched in March 2023 that aims to enhance countries' capacities for mainstreaming climate change adaptation and environmental sustainability into education sector plans, budgets and strategies, and for cross-sectoral coordination on climate and…

This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach to investigate the integration of Projectbased Learning (PBL) with Demonstration through the Metaverse to promote Media Production Skills and Multimedia Innovation. The study's objectives were to synthesize, design, develop, and evaluate this integrated learning system. Expert…

The rapid proliferation of ChatGPT has fuelled expectations of transformative change in education; yet most systematic reviews remain confined to single disciplines or educational levels. Adopting general system theory (GST) and the knowledge-skills-attitudes (KSA) framework, this review offers a more comprehensive perspective on ChatGPT's…

Despite the increasing emphasis on computational literacy in higher education, we observed that many undergraduate students particularly in developing contexts struggle to master fundamental programming skills and develop critical thinking. Conventional instructional approaches often lack interactivity and personalized scaffolding, which are…
