Collaborative learning is a group learning paradigm in which individuals or students work together to solve problems or complete tasks, exemplifying the essence of collective educational efforts. There are a lot of collaborative learning methods available; however, finding one that is suitable for the complex nature of mathematical problem-solving…

Schools conduct comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations to identify students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) and determine whether they qualify for special education services. This decision-making process is complex and research has documented many factors influencing SLD identification decisions. One such factor may be…

In the traditional teaching mode, it is difficult for teachers to have a comprehensive understanding of each student's study, and it is also hard for them to provide targeted guidance and assistance. With the development of data collection and analysis technology, schools and educational institutions can make better use of big data technology to…

Graduate employability remains a key talking point in higher education despite the contested nature of the construct and the myriad of factors that influence an individual's capacity to gain employment. Universities are still positioned to produce graduates who can contribute to society and the economy through work. Students are similarly…

As part of a larger study (Boling et al., 2024a, b), this paper reports on how instructional designers define and use precedent knowledge, including its sources, forms, and role in decision-making. Using a qualitative approach, we conducted semi-structured interviews with instructional designers from higher education and non-profit professional…

Background: In agile software engineering team projects, effective collaboration and communication between members are essential for promoting agility and lean software development. Agile methodologies, which emphasize iterative development, collaboration and adaptability, are well suited to dynamic educational environments. However, agile teams…

In times of growing societal complexity and uncertainty, traditional decision-making mechanisms such as the majority principle are increasingly reaching their limits. This article explores the interplay between Systemic Consensing (SC) and Action Learning (AL) as innovative, participatory approaches to decision-making that are committed to the…

Background/Purpose: The pedagogical thought of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) has been recognized as one of the pillars of modern popular pedagogy and the Active School movement. His student-centered approach and emphasis on holistic development have significantly influenced contemporary educational trends. However, his legacy has not been…

The study aims to identify the profiles of university students regarding Artificial Intelligence Literacy, Lifelong Learning, and Fear of Innovation using cluster analysis and to examine the relationships among these variables. Cluster analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted with valid responses from 402 university students. The…

This study examines the prevalence and quality of mixed methods research (MMR) in educational journals, highlighting its growing acceptance yet emphasizing the need for enhanced methodological rigor. Although MMR has become popular across education sub-disciplines, its specific use in educational research is underexplored. This study aims to…

While education is often tasked with educating students for a somewhat infinite number of futures, it is perhaps possible to say that no matter what the future is, people will continue to live with and care for one another in some capacity. To be attentive to this future is not to educate for a specific, fully developed and already decided upon…

While textbooks may remain important tools for information delivery, how can educators find and present interesting and relevant content to eighteen to twenty-something-year-olds? If learning is to take place, capturing and maintaining student attention, interest, and active engagement is a primary challenge in the classroom. Given this reality,…

Functional thinking has long been recognized as a crucial entry point into algebraic thinking in elementary school. This mixed-method study investigates the learning progression for elementary students' functional thinking within the context of routine classroom instruction. Drawing on the existing research, a theoretical framework was constructed…

Gamified Flipped Classrooms (GFC) are increasingly implemented in teaching and have become a trending research subject. Gamification and Flipped Classroom (FC) literature expresses a clear need for a theoretical foundation that positively affects motivation, behavioral change, and learning. However, this requires an overview of the current…

Far too often, students are left on the periphery when creating, designing, and implementing community service initiatives. This article provides a framework to position students as co-creators of service initiatives rather than just participants using a case study of the President's Leadership Fellows Program at University of Tampa.
