This paper reports on a study set in Wales where the Further Mathematics Support Programme Wales supports the provision of an advanced qualification in mathematics for 16- to 18-year-old students with courses delivered in reduced teaching time. The study aimed to understand how the students experienced the Further Mathematics (FM) courses which…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of college and university campuses across the United States and abroad to contain the spread of the virus. While those closures affected everyone, students who lived alone, off-campus were especially impacted, as their access to opportunities for colligate social interaction and engagement, as well as face…

The main concern in this study is constituted by the possibility of implementing a music training model which has been developed on the basis of the Multiple Intelligence Theory in the music lessons of the 4th and 5th grades of primary schools. Core study group was formed by 150 fourth and fifth grades students from Ankara Tegmen Kalmaz Primary…

This study aims to evaluate the university lecturers' teaching content preferences in different teaching environments at the undergraduate level of mathematics. The content that lecturers use in teaching the concept of integral is evaluated through a comparison of face-to-face and virtual classroom settings. With comparative case study being used…

Teaching interdisciplinary courses requires instilling interdisciplinary habits of mind by using strategies for active learning and reflective thinking. This publication emerged from discussions and surveys used to evaluate interdisciplinary habits of mind and pedagogies drawn from different disciplines. Prior to face-to-face discussions, surveys…

Student-to-student connectedness is promoted by active, student-centered learning processes. It is a socio-psychological result of interpersonal communication and behavior in the classroom, which emulates belonging, cohesiveness, and supportiveness among peers. Currently, two survey instruments exist--Dwyer et al.'s (Commun Res Rep 21(3):264-272,…

This investigation explores student teachers' perceptions of and performance using flipped classroom pedagogy (FCP) as a teaching approach in a teacher education course at an Open Distance eLearning university. An explanatory mixed methods design was used, and a pre-test and post-test online survey and Economics blog postings were employed to…

The flipped classroom instructional strategy is thought to be a good way to structure learning experiences to improve student learning outcomes. Many studies have been conducted to examine the effects of flipped classroom on student learning outcomes compared to the traditional classroom, but the results were inconclusive. The purpose of this…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been shown to lead to multiple student benefits, but much is unknown about how CUREs lead to specific student outcomes. In this study, we examined the extent to which students making "broadly relevant novel discoveries" impacted student project ownership by comparing the…

Candidates who study business disciplines are trained to be all-round administrative staff to handle business-related issues. Knowledge of a basic accounting principle for supporting financial decisions is vital in business operations, and is especially crucial for managerial workers of a listed company. Indeed, the accounting module is one of the…

In recent decades, a constructivist view of learning has triggered a change in teaching-learning environments (TLEs). Teacher-centred TLEs have been replaced by student-centred ones where the teachers' approaches to teaching are more learning- than content-focused. Previous research exploring the relationship between student-centred TLEs and the…

A learning management system (LMS) is a critical technology platform for teaching and learning for nearly all institutions of higher education. Although an LMS is a driving force in online courses, it is not given in traditional face-to-face environments. The problem is an underutilization of an LMS in face-to-face higher education courses. This…

Background: Given the strong relationship between executive functions and academic achievement, there has been great interest in improving executive functions. School-based group interventions targeting executive functions revealed encouraging results in preschoolers and young school children; however, there is a paucity of studies in older…

Upon enrolling in a university course, students typically commit to a predetermined study mode: on-campus, online, or a hybrid/blended study mode. The education provider typically predetermines which study mode/ s are available for each course. In this paper, the authors address the challenges of designing and trialling a new "StudyFlex"…
