Students have powerful but underutilized perspectives on the impact of educators' professional learning. When students are directly engaged in providing feedback, they can offer unique insights into how professional learning translates into classroom practice and affects their learning experience. Incorporating student feedback also helps…

This study investigates managerial logic and academic logic by analysing the impact of institutional strategy on undergraduate teaching at a Chinese research university. By reviewing the university strategy and education strategy and interviewing academics from the Engineering faculty, this research provides empirical evidence supporting the…

Remembering information about others is important but challenging in various social contexts. For instance, in long-term collaborative educational settings, students often need to choose peers for academic support. In different contexts, the selection process can depend on group awareness, i.e., the state of being informed about relevant social or…

Mathematics vocabulary plays a crucial role in students' mathematics learning. However, students, particularly those with learning disabilities (LDs), encounter challenges in understanding and grasping mathematical terms. This challenge becomes more evident as students progress into the elementary and secondary grades, where mathematics vocabulary…

In this classroom activity, students consider geographic context--features like mountains, rainforest, and rivers--in order to assess their influence on transport mode selection, speed, weight limit, and cost. Cost of transport, in turn, has significant effects on the local economy. Students will learn that people in a place must import anything…

University entrance exams in Türkiye often generate significant test anxiety among high school students. This study investigates the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing test anxiety among 10th-grade students. Employing a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the…

The Norwegian Police University College (NPUC) is introducing sustainability leadership as a part of its police leadership studies. At present, the NPUC has no curriculum that contains any literature on sustainable leadership in the police. Thus, our two research questions were: 1. What has been written in the research literature about sustainable…

Social media may promote knowledge sharing but what users do with the new knowledge and how it may influence practice remains to be known. This exploratory study used a social constructivist lens to understand how health professions educators and researchers integrate knowledge from social media into their respective practices. We purposively…

This study uses the concept of dilemmatic space to unpack the complexities of teachers' work when it comes to assessing students in the GenAI age. A key idea of dilemmatic space is that dilemmas are not 'out there' but constructions based on individuals' priorities, knowledge and values. Therefore, studying what teachers perceive as 'dilemmatic'…

Feedback is a key factor for learning success and has therefore been widely studied in higher education. As feedback is a highly contextualized practice serving various learner needs, researchers have utilized a plethora of feedback designs in their intervention studies. This diversity in feedback conceptualizations and pedagogical designs often…

Although teachers spend a lot of time striving to provide high-quality feedback, students do not always act upon it and may rate it as unhelpful. The current study attempted to determine the characteristics of feedback that influence students' intentions to use teachers' comments in their future work. Participants rated real feedback comments for…

This paper provides a critical and detailed study of what researchers in the fields of contemporary cognition and neuroscience have revealed about the blurred boundary between perception and cognition. We set out the arguments with a view to what researchers and teachers should now consider regarding the subtleties of their interrelationship in…

In the wake of the present inclusion of programming in mathematics education, which is a feature of curricular revisions in many countries, we have analysed newly inserted programming activities in mathematics textbooks. The aim was to investigate how such activities relate to and potentially affect students' opportunities to learn mathematics.…

This academic article aims to present the principles of systematic design and development of educational innovations through research methodology, alongside protocols for effectiveness evaluation. The design and development of contemporary educational innovation require integration between principles of innovation and technology implementation,…

Neuroanatomy education has evolved and improved over the years, driven by advances in technology that have led to the development of innovative interactive digital and immersive learning resources. While neuroanatomy educators have been keeping pace with and harnessing these technology advances, many medical students still struggle to apply their…
