Research on collaborative learning of computer science has been conducted primarily in programming. This paper extends this area by including short tasks (such as those used in contests like the Bebras Challenge) that cover many other computer science topics. The aim of this research is to explore how problem-solving in pairs differs from…

Due to the prosperity of sports and continued growth of sports media, colleges and universities are offering an increasing number of courses and majors related to the sports media industry. Via a systematic analysis of 76 syllabi from courses under the sports media umbrella at 30 colleges and universities, this study reveals what is being…

Mastering the visually complex characters of the Chinese language poses significant challenges for students. The situation is even worse in Hong Kong, where students with different backgrounds, including students with/without dyslexia and non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students, are placed in the same class. Interactive design has been proven…

Ten school-based leaders engaged in an experimental professional learning community to understand when, during their daily practice, they placed learning (as an action) at the forefront of their leadership. This article presents the findings from the first phase (discovery) of a four-phase, two-year appreciative inquiry study. At their schools,…

Little is known about the university-based professionals who facilitate research impact and the networks they form to build institutional capacity. This article explores the efforts of Research Impact Canada, a pan-Canadian professional network dedicated to building institutional capacity for research impact across disciplines. Based on interviews…

This paper seeks to present the case of successful nativelike proficiency in L7, achieved in adulthood. As a case study of multiple language acquisition processes acquired, both in childhood and adulthood, this study operates in the fields of multilingualism and language acquisition. The author presents her experiences of language acquisition and…

Background: Collaboration--including coordination, communication, and teamwork--is crucial to engineering practice. However, engineering students are often perceived as lacking key collaboration skills at the time of graduation. Purpose: We used structuration theory to explore how differences between students and practitioners' collaboration…

"Applications" of knowledge symbolically and structurally "codify" thinking, often displacing the human who is relegated to passive, routine reproduction of operations and left with no space or time to understand or question the relations underlying the processes. This is both mirrored and augmented by the schematic narrowing…

Learning takes time: Performance usually starts poorly and improves with practice. Do children intuit this basic phenomenon of skill learning? In preregistered Experiment 1 (n = 125; 54% female; 48% White; collected 2022-2023), US 7- to 8-year-old children predicted improved performance, 5- to 6-year-old children predicted flat performance, and…

This quantitative study seeks to explore intrinsic motivation amongst students in post-secondary education. The sample includes 55 undergraduate students currently enrolled in a college of education teaching methods course. The researchers sought to explore the correlation between intrinsic motivation and key variables such as academic…

This study explores the influence of science and plant interest, alongside emotional responses, on the learning experiences of prospective primary education teachers during a botanical inquiry trail. Conducted at the University of Extremadura (Spain), the research involved 137 participants and valued their science and plant interest, knowledge…

In 2021, data on Internet usage for those aged 75 years and older in Ireland indicated that almost half of this cohort (46%) had never accessed the Internet. This study examines the role of informal peer learning in the digital lives of older adults in Ireland. A mixed methods case study methodology was employed. Data were collected from 100…

This study is a secondary analysis of the data collected in a randomized control trial study with sixth graders with mathematics learning difficulties (MLDs). We explored the relation between mathematics anxiety and mathematics performance for students with and without MLD. We further explored whether mathematics vocabulary and computational…

The current scoping review synthesizes the literature on interventions targeting anxiety in individuals with a learning disability (LD). Specifically, the review identifies types of interventions, outcomes, and barriers to or facilitators of implementation of interventions by school staff. The available literature was analyzed using a descriptive…

Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced smart education in the artificial general intelligence era. A promising application lies in the automatic generalization of instructional design for curriculum and learning activities, focusing on two key aspects: 1) customized generation: generating niche-targeted teaching content based on…
