Work-integrated learning WIL provides an opportunity for integrating Indigenous and Western learning pedagogies and facilitate a meaningful pathway for authentic learning through developing partnerships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous stakeholders. However, research in developing WIL with Indigenous communities and appropriate learning…

Educational opportunities occur through naturalistic everyday life experiences (e.g., reading a newspaper, listening to a podcast, or visiting a museum). Research primarily examines learning under controlled conditions, such as in a classroom or laboratory. There is relatively little known about the extent to which adults extract semantic content,…

Prioritizing wellness and wellbeing is absolutely necessary for all schools, regardless of size or classification, and Communication Centers are uniquely positioned to serve their campus in impactful and meaningful ways. Communication Centers can and should develop into aspirational spaces where authentic experiences and stories are curated,…

This study describes the experiences of four engineers participating in a 7-week long, asynchronous online continuing professional education (CPE) course addressing computational engineering techniques. The online learning environment combined with the virtual nature of computational engineering methods presents a novel environment for these…

It's a paradox: technology to individualize curriculum has made classrooms less personal. Let's instead trust educators to make learning personal by supporting student agency, self-awareness, and the intimate personal connections found in authentic learning experiences. In the second edition of this groundbreaking book--newly streamlined, and…

The recent phenomenon of maker culture has garnered the interest of educators as arguments have been advanced for the foregrounding of making in learning. Making in learning is an example of how participatory cultures of learning focus on authentic contexts outside of the formal spatial and temporal bounds of schooling. This chapter describes how…

Open data has potential value as a material for use in learning activities. However, approaches to harnessing this are not well understood or in mainstream use in education. In this research, early adopters from a diverse range of educational projects and teaching settings were interviewed to explore their rationale for using open data in…

The authentic teaching and learning approach introduces real-world scenarios into the classroom to better engage Generation Z students. Considering this, we introduced an authentic learning practical exercise (breakfast meal and glycemic variation) to undergraduate biology students at the University of La Reunion (France). Here, students were…

This study aimed to determine the perceptions of preservice elementary mathematics teachers about creating and evaluating real-life connections in story problems. The study was conducted according to the case design. The study group consists of 35 preservice teachers taking Mathematical Connection Teaching course. Study instruction was used as a…

In this single case study, we explore how four preservice math teachers developed their self-efficacy through a peer tutoring experience in a college math lab. Using pre- post self-efficacy assessments, faculty observations, researcher observations, faculty interviews, and interviews with the preservice teachers themselves, our analysis describes…

The teaching and learning of mathematical modelling involve engagement in real-world situations and the mathematization of such situations. In this study, the communication between teachers and students in 13 lessons (0.75-1.5 hours each) in two Norwegian upper secondary classrooms is observed and recorded to explore how modelling is communicated…

This article introduces a pedagogical approach in design education referenced as creative authenticity. Creative authenticity is defined as an ongoing process of learning to create through intrinsically motivated, self-aware and self-affirming actions and rationales. The concept is grounded in Constructivist learning theory, Postmodernist views of…

Institutions are increasingly redesigning academic learning spaces with the aim of enhancing learning outcomes. Existing research into this phenomenon has shown promise regarding how these new spaces are being designed and used; however, there has been much less effort towards developing a language for analysing the emergent learning activity…

This study investigates first-year undergraduate students of Primary Education Mathematics Teacher Education's knowledge and understanding of rotational symmetry in geometric shapes. Three students participated in this study, which was designed within the framework of a one-to-one teaching experiment (a qualitative research method) in the fall…

This study aimed to examine the impact of authentic learning on attitudes towards the course using a meta analysis method. To achieve this, the researcher established inclusion and exclusion criteria and conducted a literature review. The review included 23 studies, from which they extracted 26 individual effect sizes. The researcher analyzed…
