Human anatomy is a foundational course in graduate health professional programs. Given the increased enrollment in anatomy courses, along with the development of new technologies, institutions are increasingly compelled to provide alternative course formats, including online learning. Similarly, higher education is increasingly transitioning from…

This study presents a bibliometric review analysis of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) integrated project-based learning (PjBL) used in promoting meaningful physics learning at the secondary education level. It aims to provide in-depth information about the research landscape of STEM-integrated PjBL models in physics…

Team-based learning (TBL) is one pedagogy used to promote active learning. While TBL was initially implemented in the face-to-face classroom, there is a growing need for collaborative pedagogies in online classrooms. Course delivery in an online classroom may include a variety of formats and be accompanied by challenges related to the transition…

Can you learn better by doing something yourself (DIY) or by watching somebody else do it? We present a new approach to examine this perennial question in research on learning and instruction. In a science learning task, children aged 5 to 7 years (N = 95) either generated predictions themselves (active condition) or observed the predictions of a…

This research aimed (1) to evaluate a project-based learning model for enhancing computational science teaching skills of master teachers in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and (2) to assess the validity of a structured interview form designed to evaluate these teachers' computational science teaching skills. The target group consisted of five…

The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly within education, presents both opportunities and challenges. While AI offers innovative solutions to pedagogical challenges, unstructured utilization of AI tools like ChatGPT can foster passive learning, with students relying on automated solutions rather than engaging in…

In recent years, the use of information technology to promote active learning in higher education has raised great interest. Teachers are continuously challenged to identify new research-informed approaches and educational practices for supporting students to actively learn and apply their knowledge. The present study tests the effects on…

The application of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a Reinforced Concrete course through the development of a real-life civil engineering project from its conception, as a coursework, is a challenged experience for students. As long as the coursework evolves, students develop real ways to think as an engineer and they work in an environment similar…

Project-based Learning (PBL) provides an effective environment for collaborative engineering design education. However, it is difficult to assess students' engagement and provide process-oriented feedback on their collaboration due to limited resources and scalability challenges. This paper presents an empirical study examining the application of…

Drawing upon the model for science teacher assessment literacy developed by [Abell, S. K., & Siegel, M. A. (2011). Assessment literacy: What science teachers need to know and be able to do. In "The professional knowledge base of science teaching" (pp. 205-221). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-3927-9_12], this study…

in this article, author Neil Shanks writes about a "people's economics" approach to teaching K-graduate economics, an approach he argues should replace the more traditional and pervasive neoclassical approach. Similar to the shift from 'great white men and wars' history to social and 'bottom up' history, Shanks believes a people's…

Inquiry-based course experiences provide a scalable and equitable way to engage students in research. In this study, we describe how we introduced inquiry-based experiences to ten lower-division and upper-division courses across the biology curriculum at a regionally comprehensive public university serving the diverse population in a major…

Interactive videos are frequently employed in education. Although several reviews and syntheses indicate that interactively engaging with videos might benefit learning, up until now no quantitative synthesis of the effectiveness of enhanced interaction features in educational videos has been published. Enhanced interaction features explicitly aim…

Research on Automated Essay Scoring has become increasing important because it serves as a method for evaluating students' written responses at scale. Scalable methods for scoring written responses are needed as students migrate to online learning environments resulting in the need to evaluate large numbers of written-response assessments. The…

Currently, the search history in search engines is presented in a list view of some combination of enumerated results by title, URL, or search query. However, this classical list view is not ideal in collaborative search environments as it does not always assist users in understanding collaborators' search history results and the project's status.…
