Testing can potentiate new learning, which is often called the "forward testing effect." One potential explanation for this benefit is that testing might enable participants to use more effective learning strategies subsequently. We investigated this possibility by asking participants to report their encoding strategies in a multi-list…

The majority of previous research on the language mindset (LM) and academic engagement (AEG) of learners was dominated by the focus on traditional in-person classrooms, whereas less is known about the influence of the beliefs of learners toward language learning on their AEG, which comprises behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic engagement…

Pair programming (PP) can help improve students' computational thinking (CT), but the trajectory of CT skills and the differences between high-scoring and low-scoring students in PP are unknown and need further exploration. In this study, a total of 32 fifth graders worked on Scratch tasks in 16 pairs. The group discourse of three learning topics…

Over the past century, health knowledge has advanced dramatically, so it is expected that future health professionals will need to learn effectively in the workplace and adapt to novel situations that cannot yet be predicted. Simultaneously, the demographics of university students have changed significantly in regard to age, gender, and…

To increase student success, higher education needs highly-trained faculty who are prepared to meet the needs of today's community college students. High-impact faculty professional development is vital to meet that need. With barriers to faculty attendance at traditional, synchronous trainings, leaders are considering alternative options. Using…

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted education, necessitating alternative methods to traditional face-to-face teaching. This dramatic change, in tandem with increasing awareness of the metaverse--a virtual reality (VR) world wherein humanity might learn, work and socialise--has made a clear need for a better understanding of the…

This qualitative study examines student learning experiences toward a student-developed case study activity for online discussion guided by a three-tier case method model. Forty-five students were recruited from four online adult education courses. Analysis of students' feedback shows that this activity leads to students' positive learning…

Perusall is a relatively new online tool that engages students with content and each other. Within this social learning platform, students annotate content, ask questions, and respond to their peers. This commentary explains some key features of the platform as well as explores the benefits of using Perusall with college students. The authors also…

In the human-to-human Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) test, students' problem-solving process reflects the interdependency among partners. The high interdependency in CPS makes it very sensitive to group composition. For example, the group outcome might be driven by a highly competent group member, so it does not reflect all the individual…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of hybrid learning, blended learning and face-to-face learning in remediating misconceptions among primary school teacher education students. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a quasi-experimental design, using a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 99 students…

The switch to remote classes disrupted higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online courses have the potential to be especially disruptive in health fields, where more of the learning is hands-on and practice-based. Using detailed pre-COVID administrative data from a large, diverse public university, I study how online course delivery can…

"The Imagineerium" is an arts and engineering based curriculum project designed to enhance student confidence in learning. This study reports on the development of the Trowsdale Index of Confidence in Experiential Learning, an instrument designed to conceptualise and operationalise a four-component model of confidence in experiential…

Creative thinking is an important aspect of education. However, students differ widely in their ability to think creatively. Working memory might explain these differences. Therefore, this study focuses on how different aspects of WM can explain differences in divergent thinking, both separately and conjointly. To do so, latent profile analysis…

This research examined pre-service teachers' opinions on developing primary school students' key competences for lifelong learning. We adopted a phenomenological design with a study group comprising 27 pre-service teachers purposively sampled using a maximum variation and criterion method. Descriptive and content analyses were used to analyse…

This literature review describes the origin and development of Dalcroze Eurhythmics and the implications of utilizing this approach in the choral rehearsal. This information aims to equip choral directors with knowledge about how Eurhythmics can benefit their pedagogical practices and students' experiences in choir. Émile Jaques-Dalcroze developed…
