Process-Overlap Theory (POT) suggests that measures of cognitive abilities sample from sets of independent cognitive processes. These cognitive processes can be separated into domain-general executive processes, sampled by the majority of cognitive ability measures, and domain-specific processes, sampled only by measures within a certain domain.…

The aim of this study is to measure the effects of teaching problem-solving strategies as an integrated part of the mathematical content prescribed by the curriculum. By implementing the designs principles developed in the previous study, we carry out a one-year-long teaching intervention in a Swedish upper secondary school. Pre- and post-tests…

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have, in recent years, become increasingly popular. An important challenge facing MOOCs is the "teacher bandwidth problem": in the MOOC environment, where there are potentially hundreds of thousands of students, it is impossible for a few teachers to interact with individual students -- in other words,…

Background: The development of movement capabilities in physical education is closely linked to questions about their educational value. Aims: This article extends the debate about the educational value of developing movement capabilities to include sport practised outside school. It interprets the educational value as a range of positive learning…

Background: We outline a case for how the Learning Sciences is at a powerful inflection point where the "real world" needs to be seen as comprised of the political entities and processes in which learning happens. We seek to sharpen the principle that learning is political by elucidating historical and contemporary processes of European…

It is often assumed that all languages are fundamentally the same. This assumption has been challenged by research in linguistic typology and language evolution, but questions of language learning and use have largely been left aside. Here we review recent work on Danish that provides new insights into these questions. Unlike closely related…

Higher education has undergone a radical transformation through the use of technology, including the offering of online courses and degrees. However, programs with fieldwork-based components that require students to demonstrate application of adult learning principles by performing specific skills in clinical settings face unique challenges. This…

Case studies are a staple in teacher education, especially in introductory courses when field experiences are less common. Even though case studies are used frequently, how to use case studies effectively has not been examined in this context. This quasi-experimental study was situated in an introductory educational psychology course for education…

In this article, the authors speak to the paradox of assessing transformative learning (TL) in higher education. TL theory, developed by Jack Mezirow, is a theory of learning to describe the process of change in how individuals view the world based on previous experiences. Recognizing that the 10 phases of Mezirow's TL theory are fluid and…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought physical distance among people and forced every aspect of life to change including education. The educators all around the world who had already been trying to adapt the digitalization to be compatible with the demands and needs of today's learners that are also called the digital natives found themselves in an…

This study analyzed two of the multimedia principle's effects - personalization and segmentation - of the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML) on both learning and motivation. The subject matter of the learning material was hazard recognition; the participants were community college students. Data were collected from both a content test…

Personalized learning tracks within MOOCs remain underdeveloped. Despite MOOCs possessing tremendous potential for personalized learning, little individualization of the MOOC has occurred. Some students look at MOOCs as a textbook, others as a formal course, and others as an opportunity to socialize. Understanding student enrollment needs are a…

The present study examines the influence of drama-based pedagogy on English-speaking proficiency. This pedagogical approach immerses students in experiential learning through role-playing, improvisation, and acting-based instruction, thereby fostering engagement with authentic language use. The research investigates the role of drama-based…

Due to the rapid advancement of the Internet and technology, blended learning has gradually gained widespread acceptance among students, teachers, and educational institutions, emerging as the new norm in the post-pandemic era. This study aims to examine the factors influencing active engagement of undergraduate English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL)…

Problem-based learning (PBL) emerged during the 1970s in response to demands for active learning methods capable of developing transferable knowledge and skills in the training of doctors. Over succeeding decades, PBL was gradually adopted in other fields of education. This systematic review aimed to identify key streams of theory and empirical…
