Earlier research efforts have succeeded in training students to enhance their skills commenting on peer writing and using peer and lecturer comments to revise their writing, but few studies have investigated (1) the effect of the lecturer's e-comments on the quality of peer e-comments, and (2) the relative effectiveness of lecturer and peer…

This paper reports on progress in the development of a teaching module on machine learning with decision trees for secondary-school students, in which students use survey data about media use to predict who plays online games frequently. This context is familiar to students and provides a link between school and everyday experience. In this…

Diversified learning is the path to supplement students' needs in the contemporary generation. These students' lives have revolved around technology since birth; as such, the role of technology cannot be ignored.

The treatment versus control condition was randomly assigned to four preschool classes, which included 122 preschoolers (M = 61.10 month, SD = 3.73).…

Feedback plays a vital role in the process of mastering writing in many academic disciplines. Although peer feedback has been proven helpful to develop students' academic writing competency, the role of additional face-to-face peer dialogue in this context remains indistinct. Face-to-face peer dialogue on written peer feedback is expected to…

Soft skills refer to the skills, competencies, and characteristics that pertain to personality, attitude, and behaviour instead of to formal or technical knowledge. While they are necessary to ensure a person's success, these skills are not easily demonstrated through a CV, diploma, or certificate and can only be evaluated by specialists. Soft…

Purpose: The confidence placed in the use of technology and other computing resources is an important support for the deep transformation toward processes of very high quality teaching-learning based on active learning. This paper aims to present and describe a higher education experience with Flipped Learning before and during the transformation…

Students acting as co-creators of academic material is growing in popularity as a pedagogical approach in higher education. With student engagement and persistence consistently being emphasized for student and institution well-being, educational praxis must foster engaged, high-retention student cohorts. This exploratory research uses a…
