This article takes a conceptual approach to an issue of pedagogical relevance--the presence of "teaching and learning moments" within educational environments. We suggest sources of philosophical confusions that design patterns for the classification and creation of typologies of classroom events. We identify three foundational…

There is limited research regarding university students' academic achievement and what influences it. We argue that university students' academic achievement could be influenced by different factors to those observed for schoolchildren. We investigated whether university students' beliefs about intelligence ('implicit theories'), self-efficacy and…

This paper introduces the smart classroom learning model based on the concept of ambient intelligence. By analyzing a smart classroom, the ambient intelligence system detects a student and determines their level of fatigue based on the data about their previous daily academic activities. This information is then used to assign the student the…

The New Normal is rooted in adult learning theory, which explains how adults learn and why they learn in these aspects. This foundation is then supported by two pillars: cultural capital and the career pathways model. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital is the non-fiscal aspect of a person's education, social status, and language. Career…

The MAP® Growth™ theory of action describes key features of MAP Growth and its position in a comprehensive assessment system. The basic premise of the theory of action is that all students learn when MAP Growth is situated in a comprehensive assessment system and used for its intended purposes to yield information about student learning and enable…

Political behaviors have an important place in human life in terms of providing benefits. For this reason, while political behaviors are revealed in achieving the desired goals, the importance of political skill increases. In the organizational field, especially the political skill levels of the managers are seen as an important factor in the…

Reading comprehension is an essential skill for learning in general and in science classes. Problems with reading comprehension might hinder students' participation in learning science. Text in science includes specific language features that distinguishes it from narrative text, so should reading instruction be part of teaching science? The…

Purpose: This study examines the perspectives of undergraduate science and technology students in Thailand regarding the influence of various role models on their entrepreneurial skills. Design/methodology/approach: This study employed the single case study research method. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants. The sample…

This research aims to determine the effects of model-based science teaching on students' academic achievements and science process skills for a science and technology course. A quasi-experimental research method was used for this study. Study participants were 48 7th grade students. The application was carried out over a period of 4 weeks. During…

Part of the evidence used to corroborate school motivation theories relies on modeling methods that estimate cross-lagged effects between constructs, that is, reciprocal effects from one occasion to another. Yet, the reliability of cross-lagged models rests on the assumption that students do not differ in their trajectories of growth over time…

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of learning-centered leadership practices of school principals on the change in teachers' instructional practices, as well as the mediating role of teacher collaboration. A cross-sectional survey method was employed. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were used…

The field of studies in metacognition points to some limitations in the way the construct has traditionally been measured and shows a near absence of performance-based tests. The Meta-Text is a performance-based test recently created to assess components of cognition regulation: planning, monitoring, and judgment. This study presents the first…

Drawing from Stith et al.'s (2018) Critical Service-Learning Conversations Tool, this article provides a visual model for developing critical service-learning projects. This model proposes to assist the analysis of critical service-learning projects by grounding them in contemporary scholarship and literature. The model also reveals the interplay…

This paper articulates how the teaching of movement, physical activity and sport, through formal education and schooling, and the medium of physical education, affords opportunities for twenty-first-century character education. We begin by outlining our theoretical framework for character education and identify how character-traits developed…

On March 12, 2020, Norwegian universities closed campus areas and reorganised teaching to digital environments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a sample of 8,907 university students, we investigated how aspects of students' self-regulation were affected by their motivation, perceived stress, working conditions, and remote teaching offered in the…
