Although previous belonging research has investigated social belonging sources, few studies have examined academic sources that include teacher and peer behaviors. Questions remain concerning the contextualization of belonging in specific disciplines and pedagogies. This study explores middle schoolers' science classroom belonging within two…

This study explores postgraduate students' perceptions of the effectiveness of collaborative learning within computer-based environments. The research investigates the distinctions between collaborative learning and group work, examining how students' attitudes and behaviours differ, and the subsequent impact on learning outcomes. Findings reveal…

This research is intended to study the outcomes of analytical thinking and curiosity derived from the virtual smart classroom using the cooperative problem-based learning; thereby the said virtual smart classroom is a research tool initiated from the integration of the problem-based learning and the cooperative learning coupled with the aid of…

Background/purpose: Collaborative concept maps (CCMs) stand out for their ability to organize knowledge and enhance retention. However, their use in higher education raises questions about their effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate the effect of CCMs on learning of students enrolled in the Master's program in Training and Supervision…

Underpinning this consideration of writing instruction in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) is the premise that acts of teaching interact with the context in which they occur; they are shaped by the socio-cultural milieu, philosophical and socio-political traditions, curriculum and assessment systems, and the nature of individual classrooms.
