This study examined the improvement of mathematical problem-solving skills and learning motivation among students taught using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR). It also investigated the interaction between the learning model and students' ability levels to enhance these skills and motivation. A…

Purpose: Design thinking, as a creative and innovative methodology, has been proposed as a process for non-designers to address complex problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using design thinking to foster English-major students' team creativity and collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: This study…

I implemented a cultural awareness project (CAP) to enhance dental hygiene students' understanding of diverse cultural needs and beliefs related to oral health. This 2-year quality assurance project aimed to assess student perceptions of the CAP. Two cohorts of 23 junior students each participated. I collected data via post-project surveys adapted…

This study aims to analyze the influence of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Guided Discovery Learning (GDL) on students' critical thinking skills in geometry focusing on mathematical literacy within geometry content. Specifically, it examines the effects of self-confidence, mathematical literacy scores, and gender on critical thinking skills and…

Fostering scientific literacy is a key societal goal to equip individuals with skills to navigate and make informed decisions in an increasingly complex world. The development of project-based learning (PBL) approaches can effectively promote scientific engagement, but their implementation often presents challenges for teachers. This study…

Purpose: Accessing higher education (HE) in the UK has been a primary pathway for school and college leavers for the past two decades. The present study, through a case study approach, aims to explore graduates' evaluations of the usefulness of university education by examining their evaluations of skill development, employability-focused learning…

This study proposes a project-based learning methodology that emphasises technical research with the active participation of schoolchildren. The study focuses on ecological conservation using ceramic slurry 3D printing technology. It is categorised into two distinctive technical and educational aspects. The technical aspect deals with reverse…

In an experimental study, we explored the relationships between team regulatory focus and temporal patterns of innovative activities as well as innovative performance. We manipulated regulatory focus in 44 student teams and assessed idea generation and implementation activities over time based on video data. External raters assessed innovative…

The purpose of the work is to consider the possibilities of time trackers in the design activities of students. The article presents an analysis of modern time trackers that contribute to the selforganization of students to achieve educational goals. In the context of an increase in the share of independent training in universities and the…

In this paper, we describe a course project in which teams of undergraduate students propose and execute an end-to-end analytics project to solve a real-world problem. The project challenges students to implement machine learning, optimization, simulation, or a combination of these three techniques on real-world data that they collect. A…

Contribution: Impact assessment of the practice-oriented course for high school students on their later academic achievements, described in the context of long-term efforts to improve electronic engineering studies' quality. The article highlights the importance of outreach and extracurricular activities and cooperation with the IEEE in these…

Drawing on transformative experience theory (Pugh, 2011) and in collaboration with high school science teachers, the authors developed an intervention (Seeing Science project) leveraging everyday mobile technology as a tool for integrating in-school and out-of-school experience. Students were instructed to take pictures when they noticed…

As a learner-centered pedagogy, project-based learning (PBL) is recognized to improve students' engagement and long-term learning effectiveness. The present PBL practices are based on instructor-defined topics and are assigned as a partial or full substitution of traditional assessments. Here, open-topic PBL as an opt-in activity is proposed and…

This study presents a between- and within-subjects quasi-experiment that investigated the impact of interactive holographic scenes (virtual environment) on learning sensing technologies such as laser scanners, drones, radiofrequency identification devices, and inertial measurement units. To achieve this, the study assessed students' semester…

Prior research has suggested that Project Based Learning (PBL) may affect students' performance. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of empirical studies that have examined these relationships specially, in Bachelor's Degrees and Master's degrees. This research empirically examines whether PBL improves Own apprenticeship abilities' development as…
