This study aims to examine the effect of applying the Collaborative Problem Solving (CoLPS) and Collaborative Project-Based Learning (CPBL) models in improving the project competence of pre-service teachers students in microteaching classes. The research design used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The…

In this essay from a teacher in Argentina, Valeria Vincent describes how she employed Multiple Literacies in Project-based Learning (MLPBL) (Krajcik, Palincsar, and Miller 2015). ML-PBL, an open education free resource, has three design principles that support teacher and student learning and satisfaction. ML-PBL builds on teacher ingenuity and…

In this article, the author presents a Desmos activity where students adjust the measures of angles in radians to reposition a laser and a mirror so the beam passes through three stationary targets. This Radian Lasers activity can be extended to simulate project-based learning (PBL), a pedagogical approach for applying concepts and skills from…

The world is changing, and university education must be able to adapt to it. New technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics are requiring tools such as simulation and process control to develop products and services. Thus, control systems engineering schools are adapting to new educational frameworks tailored to deploy promising and…

Many data science applications involve generating questions, acquiring data and preparing it for analysis--be it exploratory, inferential, or modeling focused--and communicating findings. Most data science curricula address each of these steps as separate units in a course or as separate courses. Open-ended term projects, however, allow students…

Problem-based learning is an active student-centred approach, which requires engineering students to work together in solving real-world problems. This study aims to review the incorporation of cooperative learning principles in an introductory first-year engineering course that aimed to develop students' group skills while working on…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the existing Student Inquiry and Research program at Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy transitioned to a remote-only format. This paper describes the mentoring of 12 high school juniors and seniors in yearlong remote research projects involving plant biology and protein engineering. Working in groups of two or…

College students' graduation projects reflect their teamwork abilities. The current research develops a practical framework and causal model of knowledge-sharing behavior, cohesion, and team performance for design college students in Taiwan. Using survey data collected from 115 students who completed their graduation projects in a design college,…

In this research, were analysed the visual representations made by high school students as a result of reading a cult fairy tale and creating a project entitled "Harap-Alb's journey seen through the eyes of children" in the 10th grade geography lessons. The projects were carried out by 26 students, who worked in pairs. The geography…

The aim of the study was to evaluate digital stories prepared by preservice teachers in the frame of their planning, content, mechanics, story structure, and use of technology dimensions. In addition, the study aimed to reveal differences among the aforementioned dimensions' scores. To achieve this, the study's participants attended a course on…

New trends such as globalization, knowledge economy, and information technology revolution have become essential factors affecting the development of universities in the new era. These trends have had a profound impact on the survival and growth of universities. First, universities need to shoulder the knowledge creation work in many fields…

Effective instruction creates engaging and differentiated learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs of students. This Spotlight will help you identify how connecting tutoring to curriculum can improve instruction; review new research on how to give effective feedback to students; assess ways to get students engaged; uncover quick…

Incorporating climate change into education is critical for building a sustainable future and empowering the next generation to take action. This study aims to explore how a project-based club program influences middle school students' action competency in responding to climate change. For this aim, ten students who participated in a project-based…

The heavy dependence on online education during the COVID-19 pandemic has long-term consequences for teaching and learning. The problem statement of the present study is to identify, from a student-centered perspective, solutions for a teaching approach in the virtual environment to increase student involvement and stimulate active relevant…

Issues like why students felt far from physics and did not choose physics as their prime learning option are familiar in education. This paper aims to study the effectiveness of the STEM-Project-Based learning module in physics on students' personal interest and sensemaking and effort. This research used the quasi-experimental model, employing a…
