Digital image processing is an integral part of the computer vision field. However, traditional digital image processing teaching methods mainly focus on theoretical knowledge, lacking practical teaching content. To address this issue, this article proposes a project-based learning (PBL) model that consists of four key stages: project proposal,…

In recent years, digital education has become a cornerstone of higher education, particularly following the rapid expansion of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The specific objective of this study was to identify the key affordances (critical factors) and essential features for effective digital course design within higher education.…

Drawing on a situated approach, the authors study the joint effects of lesson plans, digital artefacts (robots and tablets), spatial behaviours of students and teachers, on reconfiguration of space and interactions between students and teachers. Video observations, cluster analyses and structural equation modelling of indicators show that the…

Amid the global climate crisis, science education must move beyond neutral knowledge delivery toward fostering critical thinking, environmental ethics, and scientific agency. This study explores the feasibility and effectiveness of a Culturally Sustaining Inquiry-Based Learning model integrated with Socio-Scientific Issues (CSIL-SSI) to enhance…

The study examines the impact of lens exploration and navigation stations (LENS) activity on students' academic performance in bio-inspired optics, focusing on the gain score, to provide empirical evidence on its effectiveness in fostering deeper comprehension and engagement. The design of the study is quantitative research and uses a…

The development of digital technology has driven a transformation in learning approaches in higher education to support the strengthening of 21st-century skills among students. This study aims to analyze the influence of Augmented Reality-Integrated Project-Based Learning on students' creative innovation, computational thinking, and academic…

Background/purpose: Food security is a critical global issue intensified by climate change, economic pressures, and geopolitical instability, resulting in disrupted food supply chains and increased food prices. Research-based learning in nature schools offers innovative approaches to fostering food security awareness through immersive experiences…

'Group work' is a vague description of an instructional activity, because many factors shape its character and effect on students. One important factor is group formation, that is, how groups are formed by the instructor. In this paper, we sought to better understand the variation of group work with respect to group formation by addressing: How do…

Fostering students' dialogic reflection in the classroom entails promoting diverse perspectives and collaborative aspects of reflective thinking. However, few studies have developed visualisation tools to create a collaborative environment that fosters dialogic reflection, especially for young learners. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy…

The Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement document indicates that Animal Studies comprise a substantial part of the Grade 12 syllabus, more so than topics like soil science, agro-ecology, agricultural economics, and crop science. This highlights the importance of exploring diverse teaching approaches in the beginning of Grade 10, as a strong…

Critical thinking is routinely identified as a goal for student learning in higher education. Critical thinking, however, is difficult to define or teach, often left as an educational aspiration that is challenging to operationalize and assess. Therefore, many interventions targeting critical thinking are isolated and tend to focus on the…

Chemical Engineering Projects is a last-year course of the Chemical Engineering bachelor's degree taught at Autonomous University of Madrid. Project-Based Learning (PBL) stands as an ideal teaching methodology to prepare students for this multicriteria and complex context by developing representative cases of the Chemical Industry. In this work,…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the efficacy of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as a pedagogical framework for teaching poetry in Indonesian elementary schools. Despite the prevalence of PjBL in Western contexts, there is a dearth of empirical research on its effects in Indonesian educational settings Materials/methods: This quantitative…

Disciplinary literacy research at the secondary education level is prevalent, with some using sociocultural theory to frame adolescents' acquisition of disciplinary literacies. Though existing research demonstrates potential benefits of incorporating disciplinary literacies in kindergarten through second grade, extant research at this level is…

The effectiveness of flipped classroom approaches can be improved by combining it with other pedagogical models such as inquiry-based learning. Implementing inquiry-based learning in flipped classroom scenarios requires teachers to plan arrangements for in- and out-of-class activities carefully. In this study, a design heuristic based on the 5E…
