Simulated learning environments have rapidly evolved in recent years and are gaining traction as an effective tool in teacher education (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, 2023; Frei-Landau et al., 2023). This paper explores the use of virtual classroom simulation in initial teacher education at an Australian university. It…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, institutional parameters shifted unexpectedly, which influenced how writing instructors took up and taught their courses. This article reflects on an instructor's experience teaching a corequisite support course during the pandemic, utilizing the concept of liminality, as basic writing scholarship draws on various…

ChatGPT, a type of generative artificial intelligence, recently became the fastest-growing app of all time, with over 100 million users. The increasing use of this chatbot has led educators to fear that its use will cause various problems, including cheating. However, using ChatGPT can lead to desirable outcomes. Teachers can use this technology…

The digitalization of higher education has brought more opportunities and challenges to private higher education institutions (HEIs). Based on the Chinese private HEIs, this study aims to (1) examine how performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions influence the adoption intentions of lecturers, and (2)…

There are several specific digital tools now that have transformed the way science is taught. Correspondingly, teacher education programs have changed, and now they increasingly address the development of technology-related professional content knowledge (TPACK). Owing to the use of technology in specific domains of science teaching, there is an…

Background: Instructional videos constitute a pivotal component in flipped learning. Despite their significance, there is a dearth of research specifically dedicated to instructional videos within the context of flipped classrooms. This paucity has led to an empirical void in verifying the efficacy of instructional videos in flipped learning…

Clinical immersion programs have been widely used in higher education, particularly in biomedical engineering (BME) programs, to allow students to identify and evaluate the unmet clinical needs. However, due to limited space and extensive safety protocols required to enter hospitals, access for undergraduate students to shadow physicians is…

When teaching any foreign language, it is vital to simulate an environment where learners can interact in the language of instruction.

This research is motivated by observations that show the lack of additional teaching materials in schools that facilitate students in communicating mathematical ideas (symbols, pictures, and graphs) as well as concepts related to fractions by presenting the surrounding environment as a source of learning. The purpose of this study is to reveal the…

Student learning outcomes that have not been maximized can be caused by one of them is the utilization of learning media that is less varied. The use of varied learning media can attract student interest and can affect student learning outcomes. However, in reality there are still many teachers who have not maximized the use of learning media. The…

This qualitative study examines how playing levels of a fraction-themed videogame impacts students' thinking. The research question answered is: What do students' gestures reveal about the degree to which their thinking is embodied as they play a videogame that is constructed via a grounded metaphor for mathematical knowledge. Four soon-to-be…
