Interests play an essential role in the process of learning, thereby enriching learners 'interests will yield to an enhanced experience in MOOCs. Learners interact freely and spontaneously on social media through different forms of user-generated content which contain hidden information that reveals their real interests and preferences. In this…

Curiosity is one of the most important characters for elementary school students. However, the facts in the field show that the measurement model used by the teacher to identify the student's curiosity is not yet available in a standardized manner. This study aims to develop a model for measuring the curiosity of elementary school students using…

Learning interest affects the way of learning and its process, which is an important factor that affects the learning effect. At present, students' learning interest in a teaching environment is mainly based on a traditional questionnaire or case analysis, which is not conducive for teachers to promptly access students' interest in class to…

This Perspectives on Practice manuscript focuses on an innovation associated with "Engaging Teachers in the Powerful Combination of Mathematical Modeling and Social Justice: The Flint Water Task" [EJ1264816] from Volume 7, Issue 2 of "MTE." We built on Aguirre et al.'s (2019) integration of mathematical modeling and social…

This article outlines a readily applicable procedure for point and interval estimation of the population discrepancy between reliability and the popular Cronbach's coefficient alpha for unidimensional multi-component measuring instruments with uncorrelated errors, which are widely used in behavioral and social research. The method is developed…

The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged many to engage with determining what is most effective in the realm of teaching and learning and how we can negotiate what we have done in the past with what makes sense for the future. In proposing a framework in which to encourage the community of physical education teacher educators to redefine physical…

Similar to many other OECD countries, contemporary policy approaches to teacher professional learning in Australia are tied to the standardisation of the profession and characterised by compliance and performativity regimes of teacher participation in prescribed modes, types and quanta of professional learning. In this paper, we argue that such…

CIPP, which stands for Context, Input, Process and Product, an evaluation model, is one of the most widely applied curriculum evaluation models in education. This document-based study sought to determine the historical development of CIPP as a curriculum evaluation model. Here, the reasons why the CIPP evaluation model was conceptualised are…

Proof facilitates conceptual and meaningful learning in mathematics education rather than rote memorization. In this study, incorrect theorems and proofs are used to assess secondary school pre-service mathematics teachers' proof assessing skills. Using the case study method, the study is conducted on preservice mathematics teachers studying at…

This paper proposes the BP-CM teaching model to solve the problems of lagging classroom feedback, poor learning initiative of students and students rapidly forgetting what they have learned in Internet of Things (IoT) hardware technology courses. This BP-CM(BOPPPS, PAD, cyclic memory, memory system) teaching model is based on BOPPPS(Bridge in,…

The temporal sequence of learning behavior is multidimensional and continuous in MOOCs. On the one hand, it supports personalized learning methods, achieves flexible time and space. On the other hand, it also makes MOOCs produce a large number of dropouts and incomplete learning behaviors. Dropout prediction and decision feedback have become an…

Online discussion forums are highly valued by instructors due to their affordance for understanding class activities and learning. However, a discussion forum with a great number of posts requires a large amount of time to view, and help requests are easily overlooked. Various machine-learning--based tools have been developed to help instructors…

Randomized response techniques (RRTs) are useful survey tools for estimating the prevalence of sensitive issues, such as the prevalence of doping in elite sports. One type of RRT, the unrelated question model (UQM), has become widely used because of its psychological acceptability for study participants and its favorable statistical properties.…

In most schools everywhere, democracy and participation continue to be carried out through the usual channels based on representative democracy and the vote of elected representatives. However, this reality is not monolithic, and we do find centers committed to practise a full and more profound democracy. Based on a case study, the article…

Districts and schools often count on coaching to promote student learning and organizational change. Across the United States, a wide variety of coaches engage in various types of work with teachers as well as school leaders. But coaching is often loosely defined, weakly supported, and ultimately underutilized, and as a consequence, its promise…
