This study aims to determine the effect of the STEM-based learning model on collaboration skills and determine the effective contribution of the STEM-based learning model to collaboration skills in the chemistry subject of buffer solution material. This study uses a quantitative quasi-experimental study with a posttest only with control group…

Despite its importance for their academic achievement, many English Language majors find syntax a challenging subject matter, causing many syntactic inadequacies in their oral and written examinations. Tree diagrams have been used in syntactic analysis because of their distinct advantages in syntactic representation and organization.…

Computational thinking (CT) is a critical 21st-century skill that equips undergraduate students to solve problems systematically and think algorithmically. A key component of CT is computational creativity, which enables students to generate novel solutions within programming constraints. Humanoid robots are increasingly explored as promising…

Background/purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using E-Module-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL-EM) in improving the mathematical communication skills of Senior High School students based on their cognitive style on mathematical logic material. Materials/methods: This study used a mixed design with an embedded design approach…

Background/purpose: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and distance learning (EaD) have profoundly transformed education, redefining teaching methodologies and learning dynamics. When integrated into educational environments, these technologies facilitate equitable access to knowledge, enable personalized learning, and enhance pedagogical flexibility.…

This open access book describes and explains a fifty-year-old woman's process of developing trade competences. Drawing from daily journal entries, photographs, interviews from 10 fabrication shops, and online forums about trades, this autoethnography details the author's learning process at Howe's Welding and Metal Fabrication, where she has…

In this paper, we are interested in the learning outcomes from undergraduate students' digital experiences of conducting multiple pure and applied mathematics investigations supported by programming technology. Our case study encompasses a sequence of three project-based mathematics courses implemented for over 20 years at Brock University. We…

Background: This mixed-method, controlled quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effects of metaverse-based English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction on high school students' listening skills and self-determination levels. The lessons, which were designed based on social constructivist theory, were implemented for a total of 8 weeks…

Background: The integration of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) into second language (L2) education has opened new possibilities for personalized and adaptive instruction. While Gen-AI has shown promise in supporting language production skills, its application in reading, particularly in pre-reading scaffolding, remains underexplored.…

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. This article explores authenticity in student-led civics through three dimensions: (1) being authentically connected to the self (culturally…

Background: Visual metaphors (VMs) have gained significant attention from cognitive linguists for their ability to help learners understand linguistic structure. However, few studies have explored how incorporating a VM-supported instructional design can help instructors elucidate the abstract concepts of the business model canvas (BMC) to enhance…

STEM education is gaining more attention due to its significant contribution to educational development. The authors employed bibliometric analysis to determine how STEM education research was developing. The study aims to present an up-to-date overview of the STEM education research landscape in the context of higher education from 2002 to 2022.…

A small-scale qualitative case study of students at a post-1992 university in England sought to understand the nuanced experiences of returning to face-to-face study following the pandemic. Whilst much has been written about the effects of studying online, much less is known about how students adapted once they returned to campus-based delivery.…

While existing research has extensively explored the theoretical dimensions of translanguaging, there is a notable gap in empirical studies on its pedagogical applications. Specifically, the combined impact of translanguaging and collaborative techniques like the jigsaw technique on language competencies remains under-researched. This study aimed…

The introductory programming disciplines, which include the teaching of algorithms and computational logic, have high failure and dropout rates. Developing Computational Thinking in students can contribute to learning programming fundamentals by building algorithmic and problem-solving skills. However, keeping students engaged in training such…
