Digital literacy among undergraduate student is very important, because in the current digital era, the younger generation is expected to be able to master digital literacy for various benefits for learning and their future. The objective of this paper is to identify the success factors for enhancing digital literacy among undergraduate students.…

Fire and rescue operations in tunnels constitute unusual and complex working environments for first responders. The ability to make correct decisions, based on the tunnel's specific characteristics, demands welltrained incident commanders equipped with sufficient knowledge and skills. The potential catastrophic consequences of tunnel fires have…

Family and consumer sciences (FCS) is an interdisciplinary field in which professionals, regardless of their specialty area, will most likely need to interact with individuals and families in poverty. Several tools are available to help instructors teach college students about poverty. The Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) has been widely…

This paper focuses on examining prospective science teachers' content knowledge about image formation in plane mirrors in terms of approach to error. In accordance with this purpose, 15 questions about the conceptual understanding of the image in plane mirrors and a data collection tool containing correct or incorrect information in the answers…

This study examined students' perceived metacognition and online presence within the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework in online courses. Forty students participated in this study. Data were collected through the CoI survey instrument and shared metacognition questionnaire. The findings revealed students rated teaching presence as the highest…

In this article, we draw on assemblage theory to investigate how children aged 5 engage with different material surfaces to explore ordinal and relational aspects of number. The children participate in an activity in which they first interact with a strip on the floor, then with a multi-touch iPad application, to work with numbers in expressive…

The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of Flipgrid-based discussion activities with student-selected nonfiction texts on middle school students' motivation to read. The study investigated how teacher training affected teachers' comfort and confidence in using Flipgrid. While various discussion-based activities have been used with…

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice asks students to look for and make use of structure. Hence, mathematics teacher educators need to prepare teachers to support students' structural reasoning. In this article, we present tasks and rubrics designed and validated to characterize teachers' structural reasoning for the purposes…

Task-based instruction (TBI) is a pedagogical approach that centers on engaging learners in meaningful and communicative tasks to promote language acquisition, active participation, and practical language use. The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the influence of TBI on reading comprehension, motivation for L2 reading,…

Work in teacher noticing has captured to what extent teachers notice students' thinking on paper and pencil tasks and technology tasks, yet no one study has considered how the same group of teachers notices across task types. This study used Jacobs et al.'s (Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2010, 41(2), pp: 169-202.) professional…

Drawing from the precepts and constructs of Langran and DeWitt's critical place-based inquiry, this paper aims to propose alternative learning activities and performance tasks that advance the potential of media and information literacy as a social practice of situated learning, engaged scholarship, and media activism. Specifically, this set of…

Education and Public outreach is an important part of the activities of universities and research institutions. Moreover, public outreach is becoming an interesting career path, suited for young research scientists with strong communication skills and a broad research background. To address these opportunities and challenges, we decided to set up…

The main difficulty in studying molecular symmetry is the mental manipulation of molecules when searching for symmetry. Numerous methods of teaching molecular symmetry require students to identify symmetry elements of objects or molecules. As an alternative, we propose activity that identifies symmetry using elements outside the objects, together…

The periodic table is a fundamental tool used in chemistry classes that allows students to systematically understand different types of elements and their physical and chemical properties. While many textbooks emphasize the historical process of classifying substances, they often superficially elucidate the achievements of chemists such as Dmitry…

The study analyzes the impact of specific learning activities that are using student-centered methods, focusing on various aspects of Iceland. In the sixth grade, the lesson on the topic "Iceland" features an activity called "Famous Icelandic Places," based on a teaching game. In the ninth grade, an activity related to glacial…
