This study aimed to investigate the impact of Learning Trajectories (LT[superscript 2])-based games on the mathematical learning of four-year-old kindergarteners. The research employed the ADDIE paradigm, incorporating a pre-test, post-test, and a control group experimental design. The sample group comprised 30 children--15 in the experimental…

Although ample research has focused on computing skill development over a single course or specific programming language, relatively little attention is paid to how computing skills evolve across a program. Our work aims to understand how specific skills develop throughout a progression of CS courses. We use qualitative content analysis to catalog…

In recent years, the lower secondary school curriculum in the Republic of Ireland has been subject to assessment-led reform, many elements of which, such as the increased focus on continuous school-based assessment, reflect those of similar initiatives introduced in other countries. This paper explores the extent to which this reformed approach is…

Drawing is a powerful process tool that supports learning in life science classrooms. Effective drawing activities frame drawing as a learning process and explicitly incorporate observation and communication. The goals of this article are to situate drawing as a valuable learning experience and to guide educators through designing and implementing…

In today's era of rapid development of education, the role of psychologists is of greater importance to correctly determine the level of perception of teachers and students in the making of future teachers-psychologists. This study presents the problem of developing the competence of future teachers-psychologists. It examines the extent to which…

This article aims to systematically explore the literature on game-based learning in higher education, focusing on its impacts on students' thinking and learning. Prisma method was employed to analysis the data. The article published between 2016 to 2023 from Web of Science, Scopus and Eric were taken into consideration for this study with the…

This study examines the impact of quality improvement pathways on optimizing the training program for dance professionals at Dalian Art College in China. The study aims to address the need for effective training arrangements to improve student achievement and meet society's demand for skilled professionals. A questionnaire was used to collect data…

Computational thinking is an important skill applicable to multiple disciplines and can be difficult to teach due to the stress and frustration novice learners feel from cognitively challenging learning activities. While existing theories like Zone of Proximal Development, Flow Theory, and Zone of Proximal Flow suggest that an ideal mode of…

After a redesign of our school year structure, our science team developed an introduction to science course focused on teaching science to non-science majors early in their postsecondary studies. The goal of this course was not to prepare students for further pursuit of science degrees; instead, we wanted to equip them with the skills and…

The inclusion of children with disabilities within general physical education contexts poses challenges in maximizing their learning potential. The purpose of this case study was to investigate physical activity levels and correct motor skill trials of a child with a developmental delay in relation to her typically developing peers and the extent…

Background: Previous studies indicate that a subset of children with Tourette syndrome (TS) experiences communication difficulties; however, the specific characteristics of these challenges remain underexplored. Aims: This study aimed to (1) quantify the proportion of children with TS within a North American cohort exhibiting communication…

Classical two-dimensional multiple object tracking (2D-MOT) measures the cognitive ability to track multiple moving elements in real-life-like scenarios. Stereo-three-dimensional MOT (S-3D-MOT), a more ecologically valid form of 2D-MOT, shows better tracking performance in soccer players. Its unique feature is the additional binocular and…

This paper documents the Making CT researcher-practitioner partnership, designed to support in-service elementary teachers in understanding and integrating computational thinking into their disciplinary teaching. Drawing from this collaborative work with teachers, over a sustained time, we describe the shifts in teachers' integration of CT into…

This paper explores the transformational potential of flipped blended learning in MBA education, with a focus on enhancing skill development in Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources (HR). Flipped blended learning, a pedagogical model where students engage with foundational content outside the classroom and use in-class time for deeper, applied…

This study evaluated the effectiveness of short-term study abroad programs on a frontier/rural campus, particularly in the light of promotion of internationalization efforts by educational institutions in the U.S. It measured students' intercultural competence and cultural adaptability before and after participating in a short-term study abroad…
