Teaching computational thinking skills to novice college students via programming poses considerable challenges. It involves learning programming language syntax and commands, along with fostering higher-order skills crucial for both computational thinking proficiency and future careers. To address this, we proposed a pedagogical approach…

This study aimed to compare the effects of project-based learning (PjBL) and online lessons on the learning achievement of Thai Grade 9 students in the topic of the Internet of Things (IoT), with conventional teaching included as a control group. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design, with three groups: PjBL, online lessons, and…

Background: While a substantial number of studies have investigated English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL/L2 English) anxiety, they predominantly examined it from a unidimensional perspective, overlooking the potential insights offered by examining language-skill-specific L2 anxiety from a multidimensional lens. Moreover, prior research has…

This paper delves into the theoretical dimensions of metacognition, exploring how learners' awareness of their learning strategies and thought processes impacts language acquisition. Metacognition, or the awareness and regulation of one's own cognitive processes, plays a pivotal role in language learning by empowering learners to navigate the…

Children with dyscalculia show less self-efficacy and more anxiety while engaging in mathematical tasks. In addition to difficulties in basic mathematical skills, such non-cognitive factors negatively impact their mathematics achievement. In contrast, game elements have been found to increase performance, motivation, and task engagement.…

The Stitching Urban Vision (SUV)1 method is innovative, facilitating children to co-create a sense of empowerment. SUV© fosters an understanding of negotiation using a shared vision. SUV© sits apart from traditional negotiating methods that often result in delayed, unresolved, and fragmented ideas. Adults often resist reaching collective decisions…

Background/purpose: Food security is a critical global issue intensified by climate change, economic pressures, and geopolitical instability, resulting in disrupted food supply chains and increased food prices. Research-based learning in nature schools offers innovative approaches to fostering food security awareness through immersive experiences…

In recent years, digital education has become a cornerstone of higher education, particularly following the rapid expansion of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The specific objective of this study was to identify the key affordances (critical factors) and essential features for effective digital course design within higher education.…

In elementary school classrooms, Computational Thinking (CT) teaching often is embedded in problem- or project-based pedagogies and involves programming using Educational Robotics. Little is known, however, about how children solve problems in these contexts, and how task designs influence which CT and problem-solving processes they apply. In this…

Recent technology advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need for educators to transition from in-person to virtual and blended learning experiences, requiring instructors to take on multiple roles, including acting as instructional designers in many cases. To address this challenge, the Cross-Modalities Instructional Design Model…

This study investigated teacher-facing Learning Analytics Dashboard (LAD) effectiveness by examining interaction processes and their impact on student learning behaviors and outcomes. A case study was conducted with one teacher and 17 high school students over 26 World History classes using B-QUBE digital learning platform and Activity Monitor…

Purpose: The review aims to synthesize previous studies to present an overview of the techniques commonly used in learning analytics, as well as identify possible knowledge gaps in the extant studies and provide insights on future directions for learning analytics techniques moving forward. Design/methodology/approach: This paper provides a…

The purpose of this article is to introduce the third edition of the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) Standards for Clinical Experience in Teacher Education by providing more detail and key changes from previous editions. Changes include outlining the history and rationale, defining key terminology, emphasizing school-university…

Virtual reality (VR) training programs have seen substantial growth due to their ability to improve trainee learning outcomes. Despite this, there is a noticeable gap in the availability of conceptual frameworks that incorporate social learning theories as a basis for creating VR-based safety training programs. This research aims to address this…

Recently, there has been a surge in developing curricula and tools that integrate computing (C) into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. These environments foster authentic problem-solving while facilitating students' concurrent learning of STEM+C content. In our study, we analyzed students' behaviors as they worked in…
