The purpose of this study is to analyze in depth the relevance of Vygotsky's constructivism learning theory in differentiated learning in elementary schools. Differentiated learning is an effort to adapt the learning process in the classroom to meet the learning needs of each individual. This adjustment is made by considering the interests,…

This UK-based study examines how people learned to identify digital misinformation. This included what experiences enabled this development, and the skills that were acquired in the process. This is a small-scale qualitative study of participants who self-reported as being confident in spotting digital misinformation and the data was analysed…

Professional learning communities (PLCs) have become the gold standard of teachers' professional learning. However, their success is far from guaranteed. Little is known regarding the processes that groups of learners undergo to become fully-fledged PLCs. This study followed a teachers' PLC over three years. It shows how the facilitator learned to…

This study examined how informal Conversations in English (CIE) groups helped migrants gain cultural knowledge about communicating in the United States and how the CIE groups facilitated the process of language socialization. The Ethnography of Communication (EC) and Cultural Discourse Analysis (CuDA) were used to understand the connection between…

Computer Science (CS) is a vital subject in K-12 education, and acquiring proficiency in CS is essential for nurturing talent. However, current teaching practices often rely on standardized tests to evaluate academic performance, which may not offer a comprehensive and multidimensional assessment of students' competency in learning CS.…

Blended collaborative learning has emerged as an effective pedagogical model that integrates face-to-face and online learning environments, offering a dynamic platform for deep learning--characterized by critical thinking, knowledge synthesis, and application. However, existing research offers mixed findings on how blended collaborative learning…

Learning analytics are increasingly used in medical education to analyze data and make decisions about learners' abilities. While there are many potential benefits of using learning analytics to drive improvement in medical education, there are also ethical concerns surrounding how this may affect learners and their patients. We conducted a…

Scholarly inquiry into teaching and learning in higher education has long been undertaken through a wide array of theoretical and methodological approaches. This article offers a novel theoretical framework for reconceptualizing and analyzing teaching and learning processes as textual acts. Drawing on Roland Barthes's concept of the writerly text,…

With only about a third of students in US public schools achieving the NAEP Proficient level, many educators believe students are not getting enough reading practice. However, how much reading practice is enough? This study quantifies the relationship between the amount of book reading and the expected number of words learned. We collected 45…

Background: Learner-generated digital media has gained significant attention as a supplementary learning tool. However, a need exists for empirical research to discern among various learner-generated digital media formats. One potential area of divergence lies in the arousal levels evoked during media creation due to varying emphasis on the…

Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), this evaluates the effects of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) on learning performance within China's education sector, emphasizing the roles of social interaction, utilitarian benefit, knowledge acquisition, and epistemic curiosity. The study employs a dual method, using PLS-SEM and fsQCA…

A hallmark of effective teaching is that it grants learners not just a collection of facts about the world, but also a toolkit of abstractions that can be applied to solve new problems. How do humans teach abstractions from examples? Here, we applied Bayesian models of pedagogy to a necklace-building task where teachers create necklaces to teach a…

Evaluating students' cognitive understanding of core concepts and identifying learning path aligned with their cognitive developmental patterns are critical for enhancing conceptual mastery in chemistry. This study employed the Rule Space Model to investigate students' cognitive characteristics and learning path in comprehending the conceptual…

Background/purpose: Early Childhood Education (ECE) is critical in shaping cognitive and socio-emotional development. In Banten Province, Indonesia, most ECE institutions are privately operated, reflecting strong community involvement. This study examined the coherence between learning models and techniques in fostering scientific attitudes,…
