Background/purpose: Despite growing evidence that Project-Based Learning (PjBL) fosters students' Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) skills, the perspectives of those who design and deliver these experiences--teachers--are largely absent from the conversation. Existing studies overwhelmingly focus on students' outcomes, leaving a critical gap in…

This study examines the implementation of environmental education in the STEAM approach for sustainability. A STEAM model for engaging students in environmental sustainability programs through problem-solving. The main focus of the study was to identify how the pre-service teacher practices the STEAM innovation in mathematics classrooms. Five…

The days of "deep learning for some, rote learning for most" are over. Project based learning (PBL) is a powerful educational approach that empowers students to: (1) Engage with authentic content; (2) Co-construct knowledge; (3) Work to solve real-world problems; and (4) Develop lifelong learning skills. Access to these foundational…

This study examines how academics experience the adoption of project-based learning (PBL) in maritime higher education, analyzed through Engeström's Activity Theory. While PBL has shown effectiveness in higher education, little research addresses the contradictions that arise in specific teaching and learning contexts. Using a qualitative…

Evidence about how to translate and mobilise research evidence for use in schools remains quite limited. The present study sought to address this gap by leveraging an opportunity to examine such processes. In February 2021, Edutopia (a large US-based, practice-focused educational intermediary organisation) hosted a large virtual event, with 6526…

Using a qualitative grounded theory approach, student guided leadership capstone projects were examined using a thematic analysis to determine the categories of projects students chose. The research sought to answer two research questions: (1) What areas of leadership development do students seek out through capstone projects for a four-year…

Project-Based Learning has been a heavily debated topic in education for several years. The most recent push from multiple education departments highlights the need for a user-friendly online database. Although the Internet is filled with sites that provide many different instructors' options to develop or implement a Project-Based Lesson, there…

The intention of this article is to provide Technology and Engineering Educators (T&EEs) with a more thorough understanding of the product realization process (PRP) being implemented during machine design. Machines can be defined as the combination of simple machines and mechanisms for the purpose of doing work (Hughes & Merrill, 2021b).…

Background: Despite the increased popularity of inquiry-based instruction, there is a paucity of research that directly compares the impacts of inquiry-based approaches on student learning outcomes. Objective: The present field study examined the impact of two types of inquiry-based learning on performance in a research-oriented assignment.…

The Open Pedagogy Project Roadmap, is a project management resource designed to guide instructors in planning, finding support for, sharing and sustaining an open pedagogy project, regardless of its size or scope. While there are many benefits of open pedagogy projects for both students and instructors, there are also nuances that instructors may…

Knowledge and skills in the field of research are key requirements for the successful completion of studies for students, including prospective teachers. However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has made it difficult for students to conduct research in the usual ways. This study aims to apply project-based learning through action research…

How to develop students' computational thinking (CT) is an important topic faced by academics and front-line teachers. However, the solution of programming problems requires paying attention to every detail of the problem and building a solution to the problem step by step, and for beginners, they often get stuck when one of these aspects goes…

Background: Although human-robotic interaction is a rapidly burgeoning area of study within education, and social robots are being widely tested for use in schools, few studies have focused on early adolescent interactions with robots under actual classroom conditions. Objectives: We introduced an autonomous, social robot ('Pepper') into a…

Clear, detailed instructional procedures have an important role to play in laboratory teaching to not only produce consistent results but also ensure safe practices. Student success in using these procedures can be strengthened through the use of video resources. However, not all video content will have the same impact. Videos must have sufficient…

This study reports the results obtained from the implementation of an educational program for primary education in relation to the development or enhancement of students' learning motivation. The publication of a school journal by 24 6th grade students at a public primary school in Greece and their teacher was the main project of the project. The…
