Location-based learning refers to place-based education conducted online with the use of geographic information systems and mobile devices; with the shift to distance learning, its integration in science education warrants careful evaluation. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of location-based learning on students' understanding of…

Servant leadership is a concept deeply rooted in ancient history and Greenleaf revitalized this practice in modern-day organizations.

Students' proof abilities were explored in the context of an inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach to teaching an introductory proofs course.

Data collected from each of the 70 participants included a portfolio consisting…

The literature on history education in the United States suggests that history teaching was and still is dominated by traditional instruction methods that have persisted for well over 100 years. Some social studies teachers defy that tradition. They use ambitious approaches and resources to create student-centered learning experiences that enable…

Remaining continually curious about students' mathematical thinking is challenging, yet worthwhile, in teaching practice. This paper describes and analyzes two video-based professional learning (PL) activities designed to help teachers go beyond their initial perceptions of what students understand and to identify what else they might learn about…

Education debate often appears polarised between those who advocate a specific curriculum that should be "delivered" by teachers and those that advocate student-centred approaches that develop skills and understanding. This paper goes to the heart of the tension via an exploration of the "curriculum question." The purpose of…

Poverty is a clustered and corrosive disadvantage that affects students throughout their lives. The education system has been positioned as an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. Yet, the education system continues to fail to achieve its potential. We conceptually explore how educational leaders could perceive their responsibility in…

Differentiated instruction (DI) addresses academic diversity in order to maximise learning. Although it is theorised as both a philosophy and as a praxis of teaching, it is rarely measured as such. This study examines teacher profiles on differentiated instruction relating to their philosophy and self-reported praxis. The data stem from an…

This article explores the current research on teacher integration of instructional technology in their teaching practices.

Person-centered teacher behavior is positively related to cognitive and affective-motivational student outcomes. Although underlying teacher attitudes are thought to be of great importance for person-centered teacher-student relationships, this aspect has not been considered in empirical studies to date. This study examined the internal structure…

To inform teacher education programs, it is imperative to uncover preservice teachers' (PSTs) implicit and tacit beliefs about teaching and learning science. The study of teachers' beliefs requires a range of methodological approaches to unearth their tacit beliefs. In that regard, this study used metaphor construction in conjunction with drawing…

The amount of technology available in schools has increased steadily over the past two decades, but higher-level uses have not followed, and many teachers continue to struggle integrating technology in their classrooms. The purpose of this study was to describe teachers' beliefs about technology in the classroom and identify whether their beliefs…

The holistic module learning and protocol-guided learning concepts underpin 271 Education Group's learning protocols. This article discussed the history of learning protocol development and its significance. Using the experience of 271 Education Group as an example, we attempted to illustrate the fundamental structure of learning protocols. It is…

Background: Since about 2010 e-learning has been embedded in educational practice and has become, surely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly important. Objectives: Although much has been written about e-learning, little is known about crucial didactic and pedagogical design principles for e-learning. This review tried to fill that gap.…
