This study compares museum-related knowledge, museum learning experiences and cognitive load based on task types presented via a mobile application during a museum virtual tour. The study involved three experiments, each examining the effects of different task types. In the first experiment, tasks varied by difficulty (easy vs. difficult), in the…

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' perceptions of their learning experience through engagement in an active learning strategy termed "deliberative activity," designed to foster the development of moral reasoning. This strategy was implemented in an elective ethics course within a higher education setting. To evaluate…

Physical activity and healthy eating are instrumental to a child's overall healthy development, resulting in a number of positive outcomes, like better academic performance and lower risk of depression. Yet, most young people are not meeting the recommended daily amount of physical activity, are not eating enough vegetables or fruits, and are…

Tensions are generally coined as negative experiences because teachers may find them intimidating when their reality and ideals/beliefs/practices do not match. However, tensions can also be potentially critical resources for an identity-responsive language teacher education. This study proposes a metaxical approach to operationalize tensions in…

This article presents our findings concerning a MOOC named 'Introduction to R programming language', in which we applied design thinking combined with problem-based learning to enhance student engagement and improve the learning experience. The course was delivered to 575 students from Brazil between February 28 and March 18, 2022. Our goal was to…

We explored 12 doctoral students' experiences with research and publication, including the editorial feedback process. Findings highlight the university's research climate/culture, the training strategies employed, critical learning experiences, support and resources, and doctoral students' meaning-making of their experience. Implications for…

Anglophone universities have increasingly become contact zones for the growing numbers of ethnolinguistically diverse students who use English as a lingua franca (Jenkins, 2014). Despite the sociolinguistic reality of English as contact language, monolingual and monoglossic ideologies often prevail not only at the macro institutional scale, but…

The capstone course serves to integrate accumulated knowledge with a culminating experience or project and is a common component in undergraduate and graduate programs. The research on capstones courses shows that many capstone experiences or projects involve students working with outside clients, such as local businesses and organizations, to…

Purpose: Previous studies have documented the positive effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on learners, especially in the medical discipline. However, such effect on learners in a specific course of Systems Analysis and Design (SAD) and how the PBL implementation in this course could contribute to meaningful learning are still under-researched.…

This study aims to examine e-learning experiences of the learners by using learner system interaction metrics. In this context, an e-learning environment has been structured within the scope of a course. Learners interacted with learning activities and leave various traces when they interact with others, contents, and assessment tasks. Log data…

This study reports on how a cohort of 16 especially accomplished undergraduate STEM majors narrate their literacy histories, experience learning to write in the sciences during their college years, and reflect on their priorities for writing more generally. These participants report largely positive early schooling experiences with writing;…

In this paper, we explore beliefs about teaching and learning held by 27 Namibian 11th graders (ages 16 to 18) experiencing difficulties in learning mathematics. Namibia's education system and its people's access to mathematics has suffered throughout years of colonization and apartheid. Namibia has made significant strides to create access and…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether gender differences exist in relationships between the three presences -- teaching, cognitive and social -- in the community of inquiry (CoI) model and online students' learning experiences measured with perceived learning and course satisfaction. Participants were 657 undergraduates taking…

The purpose of this study was to describe how Japanese undergraduate students engage in learning in a physical activity basic instruction course, specifically, flag football. The study was situated in the framework of andragogy theory and used an explanatory (holistic) case study design. Participants were five Japanese undergraduate students with…

This article aims to outline the important role of the summary phase within a mathematics instructional model and provide six strategies to support teachers to move beyond "share time." By drawing upon good teaching strategies during the summary phase, teachers can enhance the learning experience for themselves and for their students.…
