This research explores the effect of mental model-based learning on understanding school chemistry. The learning activity included group discussion, presentation and class discussion. Pre-service chemistry teachers (PCT) analyzed school chemistry topics in relation to essential underlying concepts. The development of mental models was monitored…

This study presents a monocular approach for capturing students' prototyping activities and interactions in digital-fabrication-based makerspaces. The proposed method uses images from a single camera and applies object reidentification, tracking, and depth estimation algorithms to track and uniquely label participants in the space, extracting both…

School-based agricultural education offers a rich context to illuminate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Understanding and enhancing STEM learning within agricultural education requires a deep understanding of how agricultural educators currently illuminate STEM concepts within their curriculum. Building upon the work of…

Community, inclusion, and perseverance are essential for student success in STEM. To promote these values, we developed two discussion-based activities for implementation in introductory college STEM courses. Both activities incorporate watching videos that portray scientists telling the stories of their career trajectory, in-class discussions,…

Informal statistical reasoning, a fundamental aspect of statistical reasoning, involves students' logical processing of random data to extract meaningful insights. Enhancing this skill is crucial for helping students interpret and address statistical problems within their cultural and contextual frameworks. Activity-centered learning, particularly…

This paper discusses educator experiences of a Scottish university master's level study course designed to support the leading of professional learning. Scotland offers varied educator professional development opportunities, but these do not always transfer to pedagogy shifts and sustainable school evolution. For the research, course participants…

While team learning within engineering classrooms has been studied, minimal work has been done examining out-of-classroom collaboration to complete individual deliverables. However, such informal peer collaboration (IPC) is common among engineering undergraduates, and some evidence exists that low levels of IPC are associated with poorer learning…

Critical thinking is a skill that people must develop to navigate skillfully the information they receive through media channels. The cultivation of this skill must begin in the early stages of education and continue uninterrupted through the completion of academic training. For this reason, the search for tools to promote critical thinking in the…

Family literacy interventions, encompassing both meaning- and code-based activities, have generally demonstrated positive outcomes in fostering children's literacy and oral language skills.
