In this paper, we are interested in the learning outcomes from undergraduate students' digital experiences of conducting multiple pure and applied mathematics investigations supported by programming technology. Our case study encompasses a sequence of three project-based mathematics courses implemented for over 20 years at Brock University. We…

Background: This mixed-method, controlled quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effects of metaverse-based English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction on high school students' listening skills and self-determination levels. The lessons, which were designed based on social constructivist theory, were implemented for a total of 8 weeks…

Background: The integration of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) into second language (L2) education has opened new possibilities for personalized and adaptive instruction. While Gen-AI has shown promise in supporting language production skills, its application in reading, particularly in pre-reading scaffolding, remains underexplored.…

Authenticity is critical to meaningful civic learning, from understanding history and exploring current issues to discovering how government works and engaging with diverse forms of civic participation. This article explores authenticity in student-led civics through three dimensions: (1) being authentically connected to the self (culturally…

Background: Visual metaphors (VMs) have gained significant attention from cognitive linguists for their ability to help learners understand linguistic structure. However, few studies have explored how incorporating a VM-supported instructional design can help instructors elucidate the abstract concepts of the business model canvas (BMC) to enhance…

This study highlights the importance and effects of developing geographical thinking through the conception and creation of a 2D representation of an ideal city plan. The aim is to identify and correct possible gaps in students' understanding of urban space, plans, and maps, and to validate their prior knowledge, which will serve as the foundation…

Special educators who work with students with significant behavior support needs require professional development opportunities that provide practice-based professional development and create the social support inherent in communities of practice. We outline a practice-based professional development model with follow-up sessions using the U.S.…

Chess is widely available in schools globally due to its perceived academic benefits. Many policy makers, educators and parents advocate for its inclusion as a co- or extra-curriculum activity. Stakeholders' beliefs that chess in schools contributes to education improvement is apparent in the positive advocacy and growth of chess as part of…

This report presents two attempts made to promote learner autonomy at a Sino-British university in China. The first is a flipped learning approach in a Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) A1 level module, where approximately 600 students were enrolled. It was introduced to run the module effectively without reducing the number of groups…

The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools has underscored the urgent need for pre-service teachers to develop technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies -- both critical for integrating AI into classrooms. However, existing teacher education programmes lack…

Amid Vietnam's ongoing curriculum reforms and digital transformation, our study explores key factors influencing the implementation of blended learning among secondary school teachers, particularly in elective subjects. Using a large-scale mixed-methods design, we surveyed 1,834 teachers and conducted focus groups with 40 participants from diverse…

Purpose: This study aimed to explore teachers' learning processes through a hybrid cross-cultural lesson study (LS) because little is known about the learning process through this novel and promising LS approach. Design/methodology/approach: This cross-cultural LS lasted over six months focusing on developing a research lesson (RL) related to…

Engagement in citizen science can result in participant outcomes including increased science and environmental literacy and civic action. One factor which may increase the likelihood of these outcomes is facilitation by groups such as employers, schools, or other organizations. We examined how a partnership between SciStarter and Girl Scouts of…

This study aimed to examine students' perceptions on the use of "Hot Potatoes" exercises in practicing recount text material in English Subject. The research questions in this research are: 1) What are the students' perceptions on the use of "Hot Potatoes" exercises in practicing recount text material in English Subject? and 2)…

Purpose: There is an absence of systematic review papers in the achievement motivation theories literature. In terms of current research trends, English learning motivation is gaining attention as a determiner of success in FLA. Hence, this review aims to trace the trends in the empirical studies on achievement motivation theories and tools,…
