This study's innovative objective was to develop a personalised learning model to equate students' entry level knowledge as they entered the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico in 2019. This was necessitated by a difference in the depth and approach to preparatory content. The methodology focused on…

A low-cost simple one-dimensional spring-mass system was constructed to investigate damped oscillations. The suspended mass in the system can move freely inside a cylinder containing a fluid. It provides an in-depth experience for demonstrating various concepts under oscillations. It can be used to probe the magnitude of damping forces in liquids…

Over the last two decades, 21st century competences and socio-emotional skills have become a major focus in educational policy. In this article, skills for the 21st century, soft skills, as well as social and emotional skills, are contextualised in the context of technological change, machine learning, and the ethics of artificial intelligence.…

This study aims to examine the effects of inquiry activities supported by digital storytelling on the attitudes of 6th-grade students towards inquiry, sub-dimensions of attitudes, and the change of attitudes depending on gender. The method of the study was determined as the embedded design, one of the mixed method research designs. The study was…

The outbreak of COVID-19 has pushed almost all education-based institutions to migrate their available face-to-face teaching to online teaching. However, online education has posed challenges, especially for learners who are quiet and shy to speak and feeling hard to engage in the course content. At this point, turning Web 2.0 tools into…

This paper focuses on the actions of learners on digital and analogue materials while dealing with a statistical problem. To investigate the learners' actions, a semiotic perspective of mathematical learning according to C. S. Peirce is used, since in this perspective learning mathematics is described as visible activities on diagrams. Through a…

This article explores some aspects of the relation between neoliberalisation and the increasing use of digital technologies in school classrooms. It does this in relation to a specific case -- a specific school, classroom and a fictionalised child -- Sarah, who stands as a historical singularity and an exemplary space of relations. Sarah's…

Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is important for teaching science during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper investigates the TPACK of Finnish and Thai primary school teachers in the context of teaching science through blended learning (BL) during the COVID-19. 11 teachers from Finland and Thailand were interviewed. The interview…

This study investigates the contribution of teachers' willingness to their professional competence in adapting to digital learning transformation during the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its relationship to instructional leadership and self-efficacy. Data were collected by distributing online questionnaires consisting of 4…

In early 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global emergency. This pandemic has affected higher education, especially the world of business education and professional programmes, beyond imagination. This study/project examines an innovative teaching and learning approach, Lean methodology, and its application to business…

Great teachers know that learning requires practice. Ironically, when teachers learn, they listen to people talk about teaching, and sometimes they talk with others about teaching, but they very rarely do teaching. Novice teachers need many more and much better opportunities to practice their new craft, especially in short, high-frequency,…

Technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) is an essential framework for chemistry teachers. Teachers are required to be able to integrate technology into learning so that TPACK must be acquired by pre-service chemistry teachers. TPACK can be integrated with a modified form of subject-specific pedagogy (SSP) as SSP has the same…

A number of areas of difficulty in basic numeracy and mathematical skills were identified, which hinder students' success in a foundational biochemistry course. Many students have difficulty with the concepts of pH and buffers (requiring proficiency with logarithms) and enzyme kinetics (requiring algebraic manipulations and graphing). The…

Context: Understanding potential barriers that prevent program administrators from providing high-quality preceptor development opportunities will help inform strategies of preceptor development. Objective: To explore the challenges program administrators encounter when developing preceptors for graduate, professional athletic training programs.…

Students who have visual impairments (i.e., those who are blind or have low vision) have additional difficulties accessing educational materials as compared to their typically sighted peers. Teachers of students with visual impairments need to be prepared to teach their students assistive technology skills that are both general and…
