Authentic learning in physical education (PE) is one of many tools to promote lifelong movement through meaningful experiences. Self-Determination Theory is tied to authentic learning through student connection in PE and authentic learning. Teachers can become facilitators of authentic learning experiences through embracing a shift in power…

PoliCultura is a collaborative digital storytelling program for schools (K-12), which has gathered so far more than 41,000 students. It is an example of authentic learning experience, for a number of reasons, including the fact that students are required to do a "professional" work that will be made public in the frame of a competition.…

Physics-related tricks that use simple everyday materials, which many children attempt, are often entertaining, memorable, and motivate their interest to physics. One example is balancing a stick on a fingertip or open palm (Fig. 1). To balance a stick, there are two important aspects that must be considered: (1) the rotational dynamics of the…

Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) is a learning method that promotes authentic learning through real-world circumstances. eLearning software allows for the creation of robust Scenario-Based eLearning (SBeL). These modules harness student-content interaction to provide an effective learning experience. This study compares the perceived learning, flow,…

This work is a course proposal for a stronger ethics education component for chemistry undergraduates. We propose that this course should integrate different approaches in ethics with the value-laden and scientifically complex issues that arise in chemistry. Although some programs require that students take some ethics as a core requirement, for…

Virtual reality (VR) offers an immersive, interactive alternative that…

The current monument guide teaching has proven to have many challenges, as the learning effectiveness may be reduced by external interference in the real guide activities, and online approaches may cause the problem of insufficient interaction. This study integrated role-playing and multi-dimensional scaffolding theories to develop a remote…

Drawing on reflective data from Taiwanese EFL university students, this study investigated how learners interpreted and applied Oxford's Strategic Self-Regulation (S2R) Model in an authentic classroom context. During an 18-week semester, students submitted reflective entries documenting their engagement with 19 S2R strategies. A total of 681…

Evidence suggests that students exposed to authentic undergraduate research activities are more successful than those who are not. Not all students in an undergraduate program get an opportunity for mentored research, which is still the popular way to expose them to authentic research. However, involvement in undergraduate research can be…

Background/purpose: The contemporary educational landscape, shaped by technological advancements, demands that pre-service teachers cultivate creative thinking to design engaging learning experiences. This study addresses this need by investigating the efficacy of a pedagogical model that integrates Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and e-modules. The…

Authenticity is critical to meaningful civic learning, from understanding history and exploring current issues to discovering how government works and engaging with diverse forms of civic participation.
