In a historical moment in which Artificial Intelligence and machine learning have become within everyone's reach, science education needs to find new ways to foster "AI literacy." Since the AI revolution is not only a matter of having introduced extremely performant tools but has been determining a radical change in how we conceive and…

Purpose: This uses quantitative and qualitative methods in assessing performance and process outcomes in a team lecture hybrid (TLH) instructional design applied in a public affairs course. Design/methodology/approach: Within a non-experimental prospective design, individual and team outcomes were assessed as follows: survey of student perceptions…

Purpose: India has been withstanding increasing pressure of enrolment in the higher education system, resulting in the creation of new universities in consonance with the recommendations of the Knowledge Commission (2007). Barring a few institutions of paramount excellence, the mushrooming universities fail to conform to equitability of quality…

In the modern American politics classroom, ideological and partisan conflict have the capacity to interfere with a healthy classroom environment. This problem is increasingly apparent when students engage questions at the heart of U.S. Constitutional design. By asking students to inhabit fictional roles with preferences and attitudes that may…

The greenhouse effect poses a significant environmental challenge to humanity today. Research shows that many students lack adequate knowledge about this phenomenon. To address this issue, we have developed educational materials that utilize various instructional approaches to improve primary school students' understanding and attitudes toward the…

This article presents the argument that the intersection between a learner's sense of their national identity and their language learning experiences deserves more focus in English language teaching research. Drawing upon insights from different disciplines such as political science and international relations, this theoretical article first…

This design case describes the design of a multimodal learning environment that took place in the context of a funded study on the development of an online, multimodal, and tangible cross-border exchange program aimed at creating experiences that closely simulate face-to-face study abroad (SA) experiences in the post-pandemic context. Although…

This study investigates the challenges faced by grade 10 teachers in Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) classrooms and their impact on learners' performance, particularly related to poor outcomes on the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination. The study used convenience sampling to select five EGD teachers from two schools offering the…

Arctic security is a complex and interconnected domain shaped by environmental change, geopolitical competition, economic interests, and sociocultural dynamics. Traditional security education often relies on reductionist methods that fail to capture these interdependencies, leading to fragmented decision-making. This paper introduces the Security…

This study examines the role of AI chatbots in simulating real-world teaching scenarios and developing core teaching competencies among pre-service teachers. Guided by the SAMR model, the research employed a single-case qualitative design involving eight Bachelor of Physical Education interns from a teacher education institution in the Eastern…

That writing can support students' learning in science and mathematics has been documented, yet little is known about how empirical findings have been applied in (1) materials designed to support science and math instruction; and (2) informal learning environments mediated by peer instructors. This dissertation examines two relatively unexplored…

This thesis explores the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in two challenging scenarios -- autism therapy, and network-constrained, remote collaboration. In the first half of this thesis, we highlight the design and implementation of CustomAR and Augmented Playgrounds -- two applications that leverage the visualization and contextual abilities of AR…

This brief examines the challenges youth face in the current job market and proposes recommendations for a national subsidized employment program that prioritizes equity and amplifies youth voices. The insights provided in this brief are informed by several listening sessions with members of the Communities Collaborating to Reconnect Youth Network…

The use of computational scaffolding is a crucial strategy to foster students' regulation of learning skills, which is associated with increased learning achievement. However, most interventions treat the regulatory processes as individual actions isolated from a social context. This view contradicts the most recent research that points to the…

This study examined the effects of virtual and physical robots (VPR) using in different learning stages (simple session/complex session) in a robotics programming course. A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 84 junior high school students from two classes. One class with 44 students used combination of VPR strategy for learning,…
