Purpose: The psychological theory of self-determination postulated that gamification enhances learning engagement by intrinsically motivating learners to undertake tasks spontaneously. Gamification has then been integrated into adult learning as part of the initiative of learner-centred pedagogies to curb the low retention rates of adult learners…

This paper considers the consequences of 'The Death of the Author', a short essay by Roland Barthes, for educational thought. Seeking to avoid a co-option of Barthes to the work of educational redemption, Barthes' essay is considered in terms of its more disturbing implications. In particular, the parallel question of 'The Death of the Teacher' is…

Background: The provision of speech intervention in children requires personalized, child-tailored approaches. Different speech-intervention approaches exist to eliminate cleft-related speech errors in children with a cleft palate. However, it is unclear what approach works best for the subtypes of cleft-related speech errors. Aims: To describe a…

The flipped classroom is an emergent digital pedagogy credited with virtuous and student-centric characteristics of increased learning. The purpose of this study was to discuss the implementation of the Flipped Classroom Blended Learning Model among lecturers in African Universities. The study employed a qualitative literature review, after…

Dominant approaches to assessment have often limited students' ability to share their perspectives on course experiences. Further, assessment approaches are often disconnected from pedagogical practice and reinforce the status quo. In this article, we outline our critical-interpretive approach to a four-year cycle of assessments examining…

The research analyzes opportunities of current trends in the educational sphere at the global level formed under the influence of the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution and contemporary force majeure factors (the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions). The research methodology explains why lifelong learning technologies are…

This article presents a year-long, multisited study in which children were recruited from three coastal communities--Boston, San Diego, and Toronto--to establish the Coastal Climate Kids Collective. Guided by a critical literacies orientation with an eye toward child-centered approaches to teaching and learning, the research team collaboratively…

As colleges and universities increasingly emphasize the importance of High-Impact Learning Experiences (HILEs) in fostering deep learning, equity, and student success, a critical challenge persists: many students remain unaware of these transformative opportunities until later in their academic journey, if at all. To address this gap in early…

Despite global interest in active learning methodologies, limited empirical evidence exists on their implementation in developing countries, particularly regarding their relationship with teaching competencies. This study explores the association between teaching competencies and the application of active learning methodologies in a Peruvian…

This book examines how higher education institutions positively enhance the learning experiences of first-generation college students. What systems in our communities and world are intentionally or unintentionally producing the realities of first-generation identities, and how can these be upended through a deliberate pedagogical turn? With these…

The personalization of learning was already high on the agenda of policy makers, but new digital technologies seem to offer the opportunity to realize it. Two things stand out: first, putting the 'person' of the learner at the center is argued to be tantamount to freeing the student from all sorts of norms that make real learning impossible;…

Over the past few decades, technology-enhanced learning has positioned instructional design as a crucial catalyst for academic innovation within higher education. The emergence and rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) are now reshaping instructional design practices. This review study reveals a rapidly expanding ecosystem of AI tools…

In this study, we examine the real-time decision-making processes of a teacher in a UK post-16 mathematics classroom focusing on the integration of student-centred teaching methods. The contribution of this study is a transdisciplinary theoretical discussion which links teachers' actual classroom practices (often traditional and teacher centred)…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has presented transformative opportunities for education, particularly in addressing the limitations of traditional lecture-based teaching methods commonly employed in large-class settings. While these methods efficiently deliver content, they often fail to foster active engagement, critical…

Effective science education is crucial for developing a scientifically literate citizenry, and for many, foundational primary science education experiences play a significant role in defining their long-term science trajectories. However, primary science education has been limited by a dissonance between the poor science trajectories for…
