This paper examines current practices that embrace the union between foreign language (L2) teaching and translation in higher education (HE). The rejection of monolingualism and prescriptive principles in favour of bi-, multi-, or plurilingualism; a diversified interdisciplinarity; new sociocultural realities characterised by greater international…

Background: Problem-solving is a multidimensional and dynamic process that requires and interlinks cognitive, metacognitive, and affective dimensions of learning. However, current approaches practiced in computing education research (CER) are not sufficient to capture information beyond the basic programming process data (i.e., IDE-log data).…

Robots are useful tools for teaching mathematics and physics and engineering subjects in K-12 setting; they can be utilized in classrooms for explaining difficult and complex concepts because they capture the imagination of students. Rapid developments robotics technology in recent decade, institutions and researchers have employed robots to…

Designers of critical mathematics instruction have documented difficulties in simultaneously fostering the development of critical consciousness while supporting students in developing understandings of new mathematics. However, confining justice-oriented tasks to applications of previously learned mathematics limits the degree to which these…

Asynchronous, online mathematics teacher professional development (PD) was designed to align with research on teacher professional learning as well as to support Communities of Inquiry (e.g., Garrison et al., 2000). The intervention included two actively facilitated formats and a structured independent condition, where facilitation was integrated…

The construction of new schools has undergone much debate as children and teachers spend a significant proportion of their lives in physical learning environments in schools. The school soundscape is central but often underestimated. In this study, we investigated teachers' experiences of soundscapes in two modern Finnish comprehensive schools by…

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the professional development program designed for distance education instructors, in which design-based learning and mentoring strategies are implemented consecutively. Eight university instructors from the same university in Turkey with one year of experience in online teaching participated in the study.…

This paper examines the effectiveness of a course in Translation Technology carried out in an online mode in response to the emergency situation of the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the course design. The analysis is based on the Action Research methodology; the methods used include observation, interviews,…

The massive racial inequities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide protests in response to the killings of unarmed Black people forced a reckoning among many educators about racial injustice in the educational system. In March 2020, we launched a massive open online course designed to support teachers in adopting antiracist equity…

Purpose: This study aims to analyze recent publications (2015-2020) that refer to educational and social entrepreneurship to identify the primary emerging themes and gaps of entrepreneurship research and management that would be helpful for future studies and entrepreneurial ventures. Design/methodology/approach: The authors used systematic…

Historically, Finnish early childhood education has been largely based on Friedrich Froebel's pedagogy. However, Froebelian pedagogy is no longer as well known in Finland as it once was. We at the Kindergarten Museum in Helsinki wanted to increase awareness of the Froebelian tradition. Together with artist Alexander Reichstein, we came up with the…

To integrate digital technologies into the curriculum, teachers must support learners to use digital tools in authentic contexts. Physical computing, which involves the use of small portable electronic devices, provides an opportunity to achieve these goals. This article reports on the initial stages of a design-based research (DBR) project that…

The purpose of this research is to report the protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of the construct of social presence. Protocols for systematic reviews and meta-analysis are desirable as they offer a more knowledgeable and transparent conceptualization of a study so methods can be appraised and suggestions for modifications…

Where do you start the course design for a minority language? One starting point is identifying and surveying a community of possible learners. This paper explores the needs of learners of Tuvan, a language spoken primarily in the Republic of Tuva, Southern Siberia, Russia. The study was conducted in two steps: an online questionnaire (March 2019)…

The authors illustrate how using design thinking allows learners to empathize with the perspectives of others, engage in collaborative problem-solving, practice communicating effectively, and respond to struggle or failure throughout the process.
