Most empirical knowledge on the processes and challenges of conducting youth participatory action research (YPAR) in the school setting stems from research in the US; only a few studies exist among European youth. In addition, what youth participation looks like in YPAR is rarely described. The present study investigates the experiences of…

Background: Moments of failure during learning present a wide range of opportunities for growth. However, experimental research and meta reviews focused on failure and learning tend to target singular valued learning processes, such as efficient fixes or transfer of conceptual understanding. These analytical decisions conflict with research…

Language testing research has suggested that placement accuracy can be an important factor in the consequences of placement decision-making. However, previous studies primarily have used a one-shot teacher judgment of placement accuracy, suffering from a lack of students' perspectives of their time-varying experiences. The present study aimed to…

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the integration of 3D printing technology in biomedical robotics education with undergraduate students learning about the design of robotic systems. The research investigated the effectiveness of this new teaching strategy in enhancing students' understanding of complex engineering principles by…

Scientific knowledge is often abstract and challenging, making it difficult for students to apply these concepts effectively. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) offers an engaging and immersive approach, but the fixed resources and predetermined learning paths in most games limit its ability to adapt to individual learners' needs. Large language…

This study investigates how undergraduate physics majors develop an interest in specific subfields. We examine interest formation through the lens of social cognitive career theory (SCCT) using four SCCT constructs: learning experiences, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and proximal environmental influences. We conducted 27 interviews with…

This qualitative study reports Vietnamese Australian children's perspectives on their learning experiences at their community language schools. The study draws on interview data with three mothers and their four children (aged 10-12), who used to attend or are currently attending community language schools in the state of Victoria, Australia.…

Writing explanations is widely recognized as an effective strategy to promote meaningful learning outcomes. However, most research focused on writing explanations for fictitious peers, with limited investigation into the benefits of writing for actual peers, particularly considering the influence of peer relationship closeness. To address this…

In March of 2025, brightwheel, a San Francisco-based educational technology company, partnered with the Center for Research and Reform in Education (CRRE) at Johns Hopkins University to test brightwheel's product, the Experience Assessment. The assessment was designed to provide early childhood educators with an objective and systematic way to…

Over the past decade, augmented reality (AR) has gained traction in geometric learning for its pedagogical potential. However, research on how learners engage with different AR technologies and when and how to incorporate them has remained largely unexplored. Employing a learning analytics approach, this study investigates the impact of…

Families play a pivotal role in fostering children's science literacy, interests, and identities through everyday interactions and informal learning contexts, with parents as main facilitators. An essential, yet often underexplored, aspect of this process is the role of emotions in shaping science learning experiences. Emotions serve as powerful…

The integration of management education with information technology tools, such as simulation games and business analysis platforms, is playing an increasingly important role in developing students' decision-making skills as well as earn and acquire best business practices. It is particularly useful to test the didactic process effectiveness by…

Background: Engineering education often upholds masculinity norms such as individual competitiveness and emotional stoicism. These norms affect team dynamics and students' satisfaction with learning experiences in team projects. Purpose: This study explores how social emotions experienced by computer science students, in conjunction with their…

For the last 28 years, one of the leading international science education organisations has regularly provided a week-long summer school experience for doctoral students. In summer 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented international travel and close-contact interactions between scholars. This required the transformation and relocation of learning…

Whilst adaptive experts have well-researched beliefs and attitudes towards learning, what is unclear are the interactions that occur within the learning environment that constitute their learning experiences. The practice of geriatric medicine emphasises the interdisciplinary care of complex frail older adults. Our study sets out to understand the…
