The Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion technique is used as a teaching tool for studying immune responses and exemplifying differences in antigen-antibody reactions. Although commonplace in undergraduate labs, standardized commercial kits limit learning experiences because they have fixed modalities of use, a low shelf-life, and impose budgetary…

Despite the globalization of education, which calls for the use of digital technologies in teaching and learning, less is known about the integration of digital technologies into classrooms by pre-service language teachers. This qualitative study investigates a group of pre-service language teachers' perceptions of integrating digital technologies…

Energy is one important concept in physics, but science education research has repeatedly shown that students struggle to develop a full understanding of energy. Especially challenging for students is the notion of potential energy. Overwhelmed by the sheer number of potential energy forms, students struggle to make connections between them.…

In this article, we describe the theoretical and pragmatic considerations behind our development of a set of nine protocols and training materials for engaging prospective secondary mathematics teachers in live, interactive clinical simulations. Our designs are grounded in theoretical principles from situated cognition and variation theory and…

This study aimed to explore the perceptions of nursing students regarding the flipped classroom and Kahoot! application used in intramuscular (IM) injection teaching. This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach with 16 nursing students. Semi-structured open-ended questions was used in-depth face-to-face individual interviews.…

Microteaching--an innovative teaching method in which students deliver a mini-lesson to a small group of peers within a limited timeframe to develop specific teaching skills and refine pedagogical behaviors--has been implemented in teacher education and training for half a century. This qualitative study explored the views of 10 graduate students…

The role of virus is an essential material that is not discussed completely in the lesson because of the limited information presented in the reference book. The role of viruses is important to learn because it can increase knowledge and know the role of viruses in life. This research aims to (1) develop interactive learning media based on…

Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are often insufficiently engaged with in professional higher education. This study presents results from a mapping of SRHR indicators in formal higher education documents relating to 11 higher educational profession programmes in Norway. The findings show a modest level of inclusion of SRHR…

This study explores the impact of ChatGPT on educational efficacy using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model with supportive concepts from the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). To understand how Perceived Autonomy, Perceived Competence, Perceived Relatedness, Perceived Ease of Use, and Perceived…

This study takes a more holistic look at reading support, to explore what else is happening in this teaching and learning context, beyond the acquisition of a more secure knowledge of decoding skills. Children are deemed in need of a reading support intervention when their literacy skills are assessed as being significantly below the levels…

The paper explores the use of digital technologies in religious education by focusing on a specific initiative: the development of a virtual tour within a learning management system to teach the history of Hagia Sophia. In responding to the primary research question, inquiring into the extent that contemporary technologies can enhance knowledge of…

Teacher-centered lecture-style classes predominate in the Republic of Korea. Typically, classes follow a three-stage structure: introduction, development, and wrap-up. This study aims to analyze concepts teachers present in each stage of photosynthesis classes from a conceptual perspective and how these concepts are connected across each stage. To…

This study explores how the Digital Divide shaped Taiwanese elementary-school Chinese teachers' technology-assisted literacy instruction before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Guided by Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory, this mixed-methods study used mixed-effects modeling and thematic analysis. Quantitative findings show…

This study investigated the effect of place-based teaching practices on students' environmental literacy in the Life Science course of 3rd grade primary school students. The research was designed according to the mixed methods model. In this study, the experimental group was taught with place-based teaching practices for 10 weeks, while the…

A hallmark of effective teaching is that it grants learners not just a collection of facts about the world, but also a toolkit of abstractions that can be applied to solve new problems. How do humans teach abstractions from examples? Here, we applied Bayesian models of pedagogy to a necklace-building task where teachers create necklaces to teach a…
