Background: Despite the vital function of engineering and computer science (Eng & CS) to innovation and economic development, retention within Eng & CS programs remains a major challenge in the U.S. educational system. Despite extensive research on influential factors of retention, there is a gap in our understanding of how these factors…

Analytical thinking is a critical skill that facilitates logical and systematic problem-solving and decision-making. Moreover, it serves as a foundational pillar for effective learning and the advancement of skills across diverse academic disciplines. In other words, a lack of analytical thinking can significantly hinder students' learning…

An off-campus practical course is one in which students receive practical training in a vocational workplace outside of their educational institution. These courses focus on practical skills rather than academic knowledge and are essential for students to gain real-world experience and develop skills needed in the modern workforce. The research…

The sustainable development of Internet education platforms has not been a research focus due to the continuous renewal of artificial intelligence, big data, and policies across different countries and regions. To address this gap, this paper utilizes bibliometric analysis and visualization tools to analyze the development of online education…

In recent years, the flipped classroom model has garnered significant attention in education, marking a shift from conventional teaching methods to a more student-centered approach. This systematic review delves into the implementation of flipped classrooms and their influence on educational environments. The focus is on effective teaching…

The popularity of online learning gives rise to learning management system (LMS) development as a central medium of instruction, communication, assessment, and collaboration for flexible learning. However, different LMS platforms present different acceptability to users, making it challenging for educational institutions to choose a platform for…

This article describes an exercise for a physical laboratory experiment designed to enable physical geography students to practice transferable quantitative skills through inquiry-based learning. The exercise is a deliberately simplified physical model of storm-driven coastal overwash typical of low-lying coastal barrier systems. The experiment…

Purpose: Engagement of non-academic stakeholders is an important element of education for sustainability, but is rarely mentioned in contemporary agricultural education literature. This article investigates the process of engagement of non-academic stakeholders into higher education programs on agriculture. Non-academic stakeholders refer to…

Introduction: The science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) approach is currently representing a new teaching and learning process, trying to make an interconnection between these disciplines and their transversalization with the arts to potentiate the thematic scope in students and create new pedagogical and didactic…

This article explores how the Jewish tradition of l'dor va-dor (from generation to generation) is reflected in the readers/writers workshop model, highlighting the role of mentorship and introducing the 6M framework to support student-centered reading and writing instruction.

Prior research has revealed a variety of factors associated with teacher views around when to incorporate challenging mathematical tasks into instruction, such as teachers' pedagogical content knowledge and their prior assumptions about student ability. There has been less focus on how motivational beliefs (teacher anxiety, enjoyment, confidence)…

The importance of goal clarity in college students' online self-directed learning cannot be overstated. Using micro-survey data from 1018 Chinese college students, this paper empirically investigates how goal clarity affects college students' perceived effectiveness of online self-directed learning using an ordered logit model. Subsequently, this…

Developmental Education in Mathematics (DEM) according to Zankov's model, or "Russian mathematics", has been in use in Norway since 2009 in an increasing number of schools (about 100 elementary schools in 2024). There has been relatively little research into the implementation of this teaching method in a Norwegian context. In this…

The aim of this study is to analyze the emerging trends in related research in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) from 2020 to 2024 using a systematic literature review (SLR). In higher education, the concept of EAP has expanded due to globalization and internationalization, providing essential language skills to enhance students' learning…

Task complexity emerges as one of the factors affecting the computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) process, group dynamics, and processes. Upon reviewing the literature, it becomes apparent that there are conflicting results regarding the impact of escalating task complexity on group dynamics and collaboration processes. The lack of…
