Purpose: This study aims to assess the impact of augmented reality (AR)-based teaching methods on sixth-grade students' recall and recognition abilities. The integration of immersive technologies in education is evaluated to explore its potential for enhancing learning outcomes and engagement among students. By focusing on AR as a teaching tool,…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education has rapidly transformed the learning environment, with significant implications for pre-service teacher education. AI tools such as adaptive learning platforms and virtual simulations offer opportunities to enhance instructional design and develop essential teaching…

The use of digital game-based resources constitutes an alternative educational practice to improve the teaching-learning process in the context of higher education. This research aims to examine students' learning when employing serious games (Socrative and Cerebriti) and educational videos based on the video game "Assassin's Creed…

Community-college professors possess knowledge in distinct disciplines and have varied experiences that they encompass in their college classrooms. Additionally, creating effective environments for teaching and learning require these assets from instructors to fulfill their curriculum needs. Teaching is a multidimensional and complex activity that…

Although zoos have an increasingly important role to play in educating the public about conservation and inspiring pro-conservation behaviour, they are not firmly established as leaders of conservation education. A multitude of logistical challenges and methodological limitations in zoological education research are contributory factors to this.…

The purpose of this research is to determine the quality of the digital stories developed by the primary school teacher candidates (PSTC) for primary school mathematics teaching and their experiences in the digital storytelling (DST) production processes. The study group of the research, designed as a case study, consisted of 30 PSTC. The data of…

Activism and engagement with real-world climate crises, within particular contexts, are prerequisites for learning about climate justice. I draw on my experience as an imbedded activist researcher living and learning through two recent 'crises' in Cape Town, to deepen my understandings of 'climate justice'. I followed a case study approach to…

It is critical that pre-service teachers have exposure to practice in order to be successful in their future classrooms. This article describes a step-by-step process of implementing mixed-reality simulation (real-time interaction with avatars, similar to what one would find in a video game) in teacher preparation courses in order to provide…

Which modes of information literacy instruction (ILI) work best in asynchronous online courses? Recent national trends and COVID-19 have made it critical to answer this question, but there is little research comparing different modes of ILI specifically in asynchronous contexts. This multiyear study employed five different modes of ILI in…

The implementation of peace education in the university environment has not yet found the right technical implementation, so the main goal in peace education has not been achieved, especially the application in the university environment. Therefore, this research aims to determine the general perception of board games as a media of peace education…

This paper addresses the pedagogical challenges when dealing with the education of violence for young children. Drawing upon personal teaching experience and wider critical engagements, it makes the case for a broader understanding of critical interventions that recognizes the political importance of the arts and humanities. Key here is to account…

This study evaluates the effectiveness of inquiry-oriented instruction in introductory linear algebra classes by comparing the performance of students who learned introductory linear algebra concepts in inquiry-oriented settings (TIMES students) with the students who attended other linear algebra classes (Non-TIMES students). We used the…

Teacher noticing can be an important element in improving teaching and students' mathematical success. While the focus of the international project "Learning from Lessons" was on teacher learning, in this paper we report what mathematics teachers noticed and claimed to learn through the process of planning, teaching, and reflecting on…

In this paper a part of the data from a larger study, the Enactment Project, is explored. The exploration is guided by two research questions. The first is specific to the instructional core of teacher practice while the second is related to student perceptions of how they learn mathematics. The project adopted the Complementary Accounts…

Students need a robust understanding of the derivative for upper-division mathematics and science courses, including thinking about derivatives as ratios of small changes in multivariable and vector contexts. In "Raising Calculus to the Surface" activities, multivariable calculus students collaboratively discover properties of…
