Children with elevated traits of ADHD are known to underachieve academically. Based on the state regulation deficit model of ADHD, increased motor activity may have a functional role and improve academic performance by raising the arousal level. In this context, a useful tool could be the bouncy band: a strong elastic band that can be attached to…

Today, problems such as climate change, drought, food crises, and pandemics have once again brought the effective use of natural resources back on the agenda. With STEM + based activities, an interdisciplinary learning approach, students are expected to design a product that will solve a problem from daily life and add value to it. Based on these…

Students on one-year full-time Master's programmes, particularly those studying in English for the first time, or after a break from studies, can struggle with the demands of an academic essay. This study reports the evaluation of the introduction of the use of concept maps as a learning and assessment tool, designed to support students'…

Drawing is a powerful process tool that supports learning in life science classrooms. Effective drawing activities frame drawing as a learning process and explicitly incorporate observation and communication. The goals of this article are to situate drawing as a valuable learning experience and to guide educators through designing and implementing…

Computational thinking is an important skill applicable to multiple disciplines and can be difficult to teach due to the stress and frustration novice learners feel from cognitively challenging learning activities.

Mobile learning can positively impact learning in different aspects, but the retention rate of mobile learning applications could be better. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model and the updated DeLone and McLean Information System Success Model, this study develops a novel model to examine the determinants of learners' acceptance of mobile…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a practice-oriented approach where students pose questions, conduct investigations, and interpret data to develop scientific knowledge and exploratory skills. Learning analytics (LA) holds great potential to capture these dynamic processes, which provides valuable insights to understand student inquiry behaviours…

Assumptions about fostering human capital for national competitiveness underpin higher education policy drivers regarding employability. Departing from this focus on human capital development, research has highlighted the importance of relationality for employability, but there is a gap in scholarship about the role of peer relationships.
