Unplugged activities as a low-cost solution to foster computational thinking (CT) skills seem to be a trend in recent years. However, current evidence of the effectiveness of unplugged activities in promoting students' CT skills has been inconsistent. To understand the potential of unplugged activities on computational thinking skills, a…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and adapting the classes urgently to distance learning, directing students' interest in the course content became challenging. The solution to this challenge emerges through creative pedagogies that integrate the instructional methods with new technologies like augmented reality (AR). Although the use of AR in science…

Although undergraduate research experience has proven to have positive effects on student outcomes, such opportunities are not always widely available. Options can be especially limited for early-career engineering students who have limited research experience. One approach to addressing this issue is to partner engineering instructors with active…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of simulations to advance students' knowledge of the business enterprise, and illustrate the attributes of a selected simulation deployed in strategic management course. Business education is a transitional phase in the lives of college students designed to empower them to occupy managerial…

This article will provide a guide for physical educators to implementing play-based learning within their curriculum, including how play-based learning can be implemented, how to create a conducive environment that allows for play-based learning, and examples of activities that involve play-based learning.

In this study of 431 Grade 9 and 10 students, we investigated gender and frequency of practical work as determinants of science students' perceptions of their learning environment and attitudes. We assessed classroom environment with the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory (SLEI) and attitudes with the Students' Adaptive Learning Engagement…

Many academic programs often require work integrated learning (WIL) in the form of internships, fieldwork, and practicums. As a method of preparing students for entry level employment, WIL experiences have been found to be beneficial by the student, employer, and advisors. However, researchers and academics commonly cite the need for additional…

Student expectations are complex constructs that can influence adaptability, engagement, achievement, satisfaction and retention. A number of individual studies have been published on the expectations of students when starting university, however none that synthesise student expectations of teaching and learning. Therefore, the aim of this…

This study aims to investigate the situation of science teachers regarding out-of-school learning activities and to investigate how their participation in out-of-school learning activities as an observer within the scope of science courses creates a change in the situation of teachers. A case study was used in this study. Twenty-one science…

Due to the nature of RME, which sees mathematics as a human activity, there is never a fixed and complete theory for mathematics education. Therefore, it is seen as an approach that still needs to be developed. The aim of this research is to analyze the RME (Realistic Mathematics Education) activities prepared by the pre-service primary school…

This research aimed to find a strategy to integrate web-based learning based on authentic learning by identifying the dominant factors regarding teachers' authentic activities. The research method was a teacher survey that used web-based learning. Questionnaires were given to 100 teachers regarding the use of authentic activities. The…

This research presents the results of the implementation of a model-eliciting activity called Brickyards, designed to promote the learning of the binomial distribution. The theoretical framework used was the Models and Modeling Perspective, and the participants were undergraduate students enrolled in a probability and statistics course of the…

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of mathematical modeling activities using the history of mathematics on students' anxiety in geometry instruction. The study was conducted with 7th-grade students (n=30) studying in a public school during the first semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. In the research, nested mixed pattern from…

The aim of this study is to prepare activity-based lesson plans for amateur guitar education to teach note theory and practice on guitar, and to test the effectiveness of this teaching method. The research model is a single-group pretest-posttest design, and it was carried out with 5 students at the beginner level for 4 lessons of instructional…

Cooperative learning is associated with a variety of potential benefits to students, including better comprehension and retention, improved perceptions and attitudes, and increased openness to diversity. Yet, there is limited evidence or instruction on cooperative learning activities in asynchronous online classrooms, an increasingly common course…
