Question-embedded videos (QEVs) are learning tools that require students to solve problems and receive immediate targeted feedback while progressing through the video. As an effective learning modality, QEVs may be deployed for the preclass preparation phase of flipped classrooms. As flipped classrooms become more popular in STEM courses,…

Educational games have attracted attention as valuable didactic instruments since they combine a proven efficiency in learning improvement with a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. Despite the increasing number of educational game contributions treating a wide variety of topics, to the best of our knowledge, none revise units or physical quantities.…

This book presents a sociocultural account of logic, or a pedagogy, that governs Cambodian education, from policy-making to classroom practices. In so doing, it seeks to not only provide an introduction to Cambodian education, but also to help readers understand the complexities involved in reforming educational practices by drawing on an…

Students often struggle to understand the independence of velocity vectors in two-dimensional motion. Despite seeing classic projectile demonstrations, it is probably not obvious to most new students why the path of motion is parabolic. Likewise, first-year students might not predict that the path of motion is linear in two-dimensional vector…

In this study, we gauge the perceptions of novice computer programmers about Second Life (SL) as a digital learning environment for concept understanding in computer programming. SL is chosen as the learning environment because it offers, within a constructivist frame, the use of learner-centered pedagogies for designing curriculum. We adopt a…

A student-choice model course redesign was used to counteract a large increase in student enrollment, improve the quality of instruction, and preserve student success. This model is an instructional technique that allows students to choose how to engage in a course. Using this model in a first-semester college-level general chemistry course,…

The aim of this article is to show how the theory and philosophy of the person-centred experiential approach, originally developed by the psychologist Carl Rogers, can usefully inform the development of professional practice, educational methods and critical social theory of social pedagogy. Social pedagogy is introduced, followed by a description…

In recent years, training has shifted towards a more learner-centred perspective. At the same time, rapidly changing workplaces emphasize the importance of self-regulatory processes in the workplace. In the light of these trends, this research investigates the role of self-regulated learning in training effectiveness. A theoretical model in which…

This descriptive phenomenological study examined how postsecondary faculty experienced instructional development workshops framed around the tenets of design-thinking. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven participants of varying disciplines from a private, R1 institution in New England. Transcripts were analyzed inductively using…

In efforts to provide effective support in STEM education in general and to help school teachers and leaders to consider STEM approaches and carry them out effectively, the perceptions of researchers active in STEM education or initiatives regarding STEM are significant. Despite many efforts to disseminate and implement STEM education, little…

In mathematics classrooms, teachers are often the authority as a knower of mathematics. To support students to develop their identity as doers of mathematics, teachers need to decenter the authority and to place students in a more powerful position as autonomous thinkers. Building on the work of Herbel-Eisenmann and colleagues (2013), this paper…

Demonstration lessons are used in China to provide models of quality music instruction. However, to date, no research has been done on the quality of demonstration lessons and how this relates to the improvement of school music education in China. This content analysis provides an insight into China's music demonstration lesson implementation and…

Constructivism holds that learners construct knowledge when they make sense of the world. It provides the basis for the movement from teacher-centered towards student-centered learning in entrepreneurship, which is accelerating. Yet, research into using constructivism in the entrepreneurship classroom of community colleges in the USA is seriously…

Background: Despite the value dance can bring to people's lives, many physical educators find dance intimidating (Goodwin [2010]. "Dance is Not a Dirty Word." "Strategies" 24 (1): 10-12.). Teachers' self-consciousness becomes problematic if they negotiate this discomfort by omitting dance as a movement option (MacLean [2018].…

In industrial design education, the curriculum should be structured to facilitate and advance student learning. The purpose of this work is to enhance the education by introducing mobile lectures and imbedded innovative approach to Bournemouth University (BU) Education, which will be employed by the lecturer in the years to come.
