Despite the increasing use of digital tools in education, limited research has explored their combined impact on both cognitive and affective learning outcomes in mathematics. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the effect of integrating GeoGebra technology through Augmented Reality (AR) and microgames on students' motivation,…

Purpose: Predicting learner outcomes in blended learning (BL) is a new problem with many challenges, as learner data must be collected in both face-to-face and online environments. The purpose of this article is to identify the best method for building a model to predict student performance in BL and to determine the appropriate time for early…

This study explored differences in students' self-perceived professional development between remote and in-person work during hybrid placement-based work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences. Drawing from the graduate capital model, a content analysis of interviews with students (N = 8) revealed how professional development differed between work…

This article explores "problem finding" as a lens to highlight creativity in problem-based learning (PBL) in higher education. By discussing two empirical examples from two social science and humanities educational programs at Aalborg University, Denmark, a Deweyan, experiential learning approach is put into play with socio-cultural and…
