The first of the two postulates of relativity states that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames. Often it is assumed that the postulates are mainly concerned with objects moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light.

Methods: One hundred and seven first-year students studying for the certificate in Physical…

Teaching mathematical modeling is a demanding task. Thus, fostering teachers' competencies in this regard is an essential component of teacher education. Recent conceptualizations of teachers' competencies include situation-specific skills based on the concept of noticing, which is of particular interest for the spontaneous reactions needed when…

This study examined the effects of storytelling with or without contextual information on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typical development (TD) using eye-tracker.

The growing recognition of virtual field trips (VFTs) to support classrooms has led to increasing use of these tools in science classrooms. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the Ministry of Education has underscored the need for educational experiences that are inclusive of Indigenous Maori worldviews. Here, we present the potential of the LEARNZ natural…

Through a selective review of the literature, this article examines the theoretical origins and early use of microteaching and charts its development over the last nearly six decades in the field of teacher education. From its beginning in the 1960's as a method for pre-service teacher behavioural modification with new portable video technology,…

Given the central role of digital devices and screens in academic work, their use and our relationship to them are under-theorised in mainstream research into digital education. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, rendered the use of digital screens central to life in 'lockdowns'. This paper will consider the relationships between digital screens and…

Background: Video lectures which include the instructor's presence are becoming increasingly popular. Presenting a real human does, however, entail higher financial and time costs in making videos, and one innovative approach to reduce costs has been to generate a virtual speaking instructor. Objectives: The current study examined whether the use…
