The study looks at the case of a university language center in Japan that administers a compulsory English language course. To provide some level of standardization for the course, and to better meet the educational aims of the center, a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) teaching approach has been set as center policy. The research…

Problem-solving strategies are crucial in learning programming. Owing to their hidden nature, traditional methods such as interviews and questionnaires cannot reflect the details and differences of problem-solving strategies in programming. This study uses the Hidden Markov Model to detect and compare the problem-solving strategies of different…

This book investigates the effect of multisensory instruction on self-efficacy among students with developmental dyslexia learning English as a foreign language. The first three chapters of the book delve into theoretical aspects of developmental dyslexia, multisensory instruction, and self-efficacy, providing an overview of existing research in…

Academic institutions are increasingly adopting active learning methods to enhance educational outcomes. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated neurobiological differences between active learning and traditional lecture-based approaches in university physics education. Undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory…

The family plays a vital role in fostering children's learning in science through joint experiences in diverse settings such as homes or museums. Beyond frequency, the quality of parent-child interactions in science significantly influences the children's development. However, research in this area has often focused on single aspects of…

This single-subject design study examines the effectiveness of a Tier 3 math intervention designed to address the academic challenges of three fifth-grade students not meeting minimum proficiency standards in long division. Using the self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) model, the intervention targeted procedural fluency and conceptual…

Blended learning in maritime education, particularly in the Seafarer Upgrading Program, faces challenges in adapting effective teaching methods for Maritime English (ME) instruction. A promising approach, Blended Task-Based Language Teaching (B-TBLT), combines Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) with blended learning environments. However, limited…

To address the changes that exist in the educational field, educators and curriculum developers are in constant search for innovations to keep up and foster alongside this timely educational revolution. In this case, this study emphasized the integration and parallel use of Phenomenon and Project based learning methods in High School General…

This qualitative Case Study explores learning motivation in highly motivated learners of English using the motivational angels concept to analyze their beliefs and perceptions about how teachers can build learning motivation in their students. This Case Study discusses lessons learned from empirical research conducted in a rural high school using…

Background/Objective. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a multisensory approach based on the CRA framework in enhancing geometric thinking skills among fourth-grade students with learning difficulties in mathematics. It examined the relationship between sense preferences and performance and investigated how interactions among those…

This study investigates the effect of presence and sequence of viewing activities on the learning of new words in French L2. It examined if there is a difference in perceived usefulness of pre- vs. post-viewing activity (RQ1) and whether the perceived usefulness corresponds to students' vocabulary scores (RQ2). Eighty-seven adolescent, beginner…
