Studies have shown that learning mathematics through programming can be complex and that the programming itself might even hamper students' learning. However, few studies have focused on the role of the teacher and the teacher-student interaction that aims to support students' learning when using programming. The present study examines a didactic…

Employability is not just about focusing on building the students' workplace experience but about developing their social and cultural capital through learning.

Transferable skills are embedded within assessments throughout Higher Education such as organisation, timekeeping and working as part of a team (during groups assessments) amongst some of the skills. Despite this, there is little evidence to suggest that students are fully aware of the importance of reflective practice upon their personal…

Purpose: This research aims to elucidate the complex relationships among internship learning performance, problem-solving efficacy, and their determinants by simultaneously examining a key variable that may moderate these relationships. Design/methodology/approach: This study carried out its empirical examination by surveying graduate students at…

Background: Virtual reality (VR) offers significant potential for hands-on learning environments by providing immersive and visually stimulating experiences. Interacting with such environments can bring numerous benefits to learning, including enhanced engagement, knowledge construction, and higher-order thinking. However, many current VR studies…

The topic of praise and more specifically, behavior-specific praise, in special education is complex. It requires an investigation of multiple types of praise in a variety of settings and a variety of individuals with even more severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and other impairments (IDDI).

Teacher professional development (TPD) is interesting to examine since its outcomes relate to the teachers' improvement in professional learning. In this small-scale exploratory study, TPD has been linked to teaching integrated English skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and has become a trend in English Language Teaching (ELT).…

The increasing complexity of modern power systems, coupled with the integration of diverse rapidly evolving technologies involving physical systems requiring cybersecurity, has presented significant challenges for engineers in the field and researchers in laboratory facilities. This research and dissertation presents the development of a…

Preschool children exhibiting externalizing behavior problems are frequently subjected to harsh disciplinary measures, such as expulsion, which can have lasting negative effects. Teachers have the potential to better support these children by fostering their development of social-emotional skills. In this study, the researcher collaborated with a…
