Aim/Purpose: This study aims to design and validate an evaluation instrument for a didactic strategy based on gamification, specifically adapted to e-learning contexts in higher education. It addresses the ongoing challenge of enhancing student motivation, engagement, and retention in virtual learning environments. Background: With the sustained…

Self-directed learning and blended learning are instructional methods to enhance students' current learning behaviour and promote their lifelong learning. This research aims to develop the self-directed learning instructional model by implementing a blended learning method with English subject group teachers in opportunity expansion schools in…

Problem-solving skills are essential in improving the creative, critical, and logical thinking skills needed in mathematics learning and daily life. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL)- assisted ethnomathematics-based Geocube e-module on problem-solving skills. This quantitative research applied a…

In classrooms that implement student-driven, collaborative knowledge building, there is a lot for teachers to attend to in student work, alongside numerous ways of interpreting and responding to what is noticed, giving rise to countless possibilities of furthering students' inquiry and discourse. The current study aims to make sense of these…

Research on engineering practice and its relationship with engineering education is getting increased attention in the engineering education literature recently. In this article, we present a study of engineering practice in an electrical power utility company that focused specifically on the learning practices of professional engineers. Through…

Purpose: To investigate the factors that supported inquiry and professional learning for teacher educators in a summer virtual reading retreat. Design/methodology/approach: Positioned within the frame of intimate scholarship, this qualitative interview study was similar to a phenomenological approach (Bogdan & Biklen, 2003; Koro-Ljungberg…

This systematic review used a qualitative content analysis (QCA) and co-occurrence analysis of scientific papers from multiple disciplines published between 2011 and 2021. It could identify learning opportunities within the crowdworkers' workplace, ranging from work management via brand-building and technology-use to the engagement with the…

Intelligent technology plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing learning assessments, overcoming the constraints of traditional assessment methods and driving educational innovation. Knowledge tracing (KT) emerges as a critical component for assessing students' learning states and forecasting their future performance. However, existing graph-based…

Literacy skills are acquired during childhood through 'code-related activities', which are interactions and practices that directly engage children with written words. This study presents a scoping review and meta-analysis of 18 peer-reviewed articles that explore the relationship between these code-related activities and early literacy skills.…

In this paper, we begin a conversation with educators invested in developing epistemic insight. We argue that generative artificial intelligence provides an opportunity to make a necessary corrective to our understanding of knowledge and knowledge building. The use of the metaphors of such as 'human-as-machine' has inadvertently promoted a…

Evaluation data helps inform decision-makers about the time, human capital, and funding required for professional learning to be effective. Evaluation data also guides program improvement and sets leaders' expectations for ongoing monitoring and accountability. The complexities of the educational systems in which professional learning happens mean…

In educational settings, gamified learning integrates a variety of game elements to improve the learning experience, but a thorough analysis comparing different combinations of these elements is sparse. This meta-analysis consolidated data from 182 effect sizes across 37 randomized or quasi-randomized trials to assess the impact of gamified…

The article presents findings from a small descriptive-interpretive qualitative study investigating the lived experiences of students in an experimental cultural studies in education seminar. The seminar invited students to explore the multiplying crises of the 21st century as educational problems in a collaborative space of relationality and…

Background: Many students bring rich experiences and identities related to making activities into undergraduate engineering programs. However, the dominant technocentric narratives in engineering dictate which forms of making are legitimized in engineering practices, marginalizing students whose identities do not align with the canonical norms of…

This paper, drawing upon a mobile telecollaborative project, resonates with the rapid development of technology in language learning. We employed the instant messaging app WeChat to create an English telecollaborative environment for two groups of Chinese students to communicate within. Interview data were triangulated with students' chat…
