This article reports on a novel approach to integrate artificial intelligence into a digital collaborative platform embedded with a problem-based mathematics curriculum. Using design research methodologies, we developed a new "proof-of-concept" design feature called "student proportional reasoning arrows (SPArrows)." SPArrows…

This report details a set of three tasks used in an exploratory study of pre-service teachers' (PSTs) experiences of task design for the mathematics classroom. The three tasks, which I call the "Orange Dot Tasks," were constructed in Desmos, a dynamic geometry environment (DGE), and participants engaged each task through manipulating…

In this final article, we have been tasked with discussing the future of professional preparation in student affairs. Making predictions about the future of anything, even in sedentary times, is dicey, so given the dynamism and chaos of today's world, the reader will find no such forecasts here. Instead, we summarize the challenges facing the…

Despite its centrality to practice-based teacher education, in addition to its exciting affordances for generating meaningful learning-to-teach experiences, the construct of deliberate practice has not yet received much attention in the scholarly literature on language teacher preparation. In this concept-based practice feature, the author…

This critical literature review examines how classroom design influences attention, regulation, and learning in early childhood education (ECE). Combining Montessori pedagogy with Bronfenbrenner's theories as a conceptual framework, this review considers biopsychosocial impacts of physical classroom spaces. Experimental classroom research…

The camera obscura is a well-known optical device in the form of a closed box with a hole in one of its walls through which light rays pass, forming an inverted image of the external objects on the opposite wall, as can be seen in Fig. 1(a). Despite the simplicity of its basic design, they have been widely used by scientists and artists. In…

This article discusses how the design of research should follow the questions the study seeks to address. The article provides practical and diverse examples of broad research questions applicable to researchers or program architects and summarizes how different methods should be employed to respond.

Plenty of research has been carried out in order to determine the effect of gamification on learner motivation. The purpose of this study was to combine the experimental research results examining the effect of gamification on learner motivation and conducted between the years of 2010-2017 through a meta-analysis. The random effects model was used…

In this paper, we interrogate and justify the design of a local project that used collaborative design research in a secondary school in England. As authors, we represent teachers and teacher educators engaged in design research, whereby we acknowledge the difficulties implicit to university and school collaborations within a performative culture.…

This study aimed to develop a maker spirit problem-based learning (PBL) innovation and entrepreneurship course and explore its impact on students' learning effectiveness. A mixed research method was adopted for this study, in which qualitative and quantitative data were collected for inductive analysis. The research subjects comprised 49 students…

Argumentation and metacognitive reflection are required for effective thinking and convincing argumentation in engineering co-design. This study investigated engineering students' argumentation and metacognitive reflection in their final group reports and their correlation with the quality of their work in co-design. The groups practiced and…

While several studies have investigated the various effects of open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP), few have focused on its connection to learning achievement. The related scientific literature is divided about the effects of OER and OEP with regards to their contribution to learning achievement. To address this…

In this study, we have proposed and implemented a sequential data analytics (SDA)-driven methodological framework to design adaptivity for digital game-based learning (DGBL). The goal of this framework is to facilitate children's personalized learning experiences for K-5 computing education. Although DGBL experiences can be beneficial, young…

Developing quality learning in inclusive schools is an essential issue for educators. Several aspects that need to be considered to create quality learning in inclusive schools are assessment, lesson planning, good classroom management, learning materials and media development, implementation of accessible education using appropriate technologies…

This article explores instructional designers' perceptions of changes to instructional design practice in a post-pandemic workplace. A thematic analysis of interviews conducted with 33 instructional designers revealed that instructional designers believe that the profession is profoundly altered post-pandemic. Findings around post-pandemic…
