This study reviews the literature on board games for collaborative learning in science education, analysing 76 articles from 2000 to 2024. It examines research methodologies, data collection tools, sample sizes, and data analysis methods, focusing on subject areas and types of board games used. Key findings reveal a predominance of physical…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) has proliferated throughout Canadian postsecondary education (PSE) in recent decades, aided by governmental support, employer demand, and student needs. Although the benefits of WIL are well-documented, limited attention has been paid to the empirical analysis of gender disparities in WIL access. This study leverages…

Improving students' views of experimental physics is often an important goal of undergraduate physics laboratory courses. However, traditional lab courses typically include highly guided activities that often do not require or encourage students to engage in the authentic process of experimental physics. Alternatively, open-ended activities in lab…

The growing integration of service-learning into academic content reflects higher education institutions' efforts to provide an environment that strengthens teaching, learning, and service to the community. This research article documents the development and testing of an instrument that measures service-learning experiences among higher education…

Problem based learning (PBL), though recognized as beneficial to student development, faces implementation challenges in engineering education. We conducted a Delphi study with PBL and (aerospace) engineering domain experts to understand challenges around learning outcomes, problem design, facilitation, and assessment. The context for the study…

The evidence underscores the need to shift attention from school attainment to actual learning. While the average global return to an additional year of schooling is about 10 percent, a one standard deviation increase in test scores raises earnings by 15 percent. Studies show that including direct measures of skills reduces the estimated return to…

Promoting lifelong learning among senior citizens is essential for fostering their confidence and independence. However, the absence of systematic planning and clear definitions of lifelong learning poses challenges in objectively assessing its efficacy. This study aims to establish evaluation criteria and develop a comprehensive health promotion…

The relationship between academic stress and compulsive smartphone use among college students has been extensively studied, yet empirical findings remain inconsistent and inconclusive. Moreover, potential moderating factors affecting this relationship have received limited scholarly attention. This study addresses these research gaps by examining…

In line with scholarly critiques on the pervasive impacts of neoliberalism in early childhood education and care (ECEC), this article examines how neoliberal regimes of truth utilise a distinct form of curiosity (i.e. 'institutionalised curiosity') to produce subjects and subjectivities aligned with widespread neoliberal narratives of education.…

This article explores the characteristics of the BEA Project, an international service-learning (ISL) initiative promoting interaction and exchange between Italy and Brazil. Through a descriptive analysis, this article examines multiple dimensions promoted by our proposal within a glocal framework, analyzing participants' involvement in key global…

This article examines the impact of implementing a didactic strategy rooted in inquiry-based learning on the development of pro-environmental behaviors. The study considers the Learning Approaches and Performance Levels achieved by 108 students aged 13 to 16 from a public rural educational institution in the Department of Meta, Colombia. This…

Productive struggle (PS) has emerged as a critical construct in mathematics education, emphasizing the importance of persistence, cognitive engagement, and conceptual understanding in problem-solving. However, inconsistencies in its conceptual and operational definitions have hindered its effective implementation and assessment. This study…

This study utilized time series analysis to investigate the development of and the longitudinal relationship between grit and peer learning among high school students in an EFL classroom over a 36-week period. Based on autocorrelation, partial correlation, and developmental trajectories, we found the dynamic development of the two constructs,…

Clearly defining and clarifying crosscutting concepts (CCCs) helps students to apply them as thinking tools or lenses to understand disciplinary core ideas and science and engineering practices. This study identified three characteristics of the sub-concepts of CCCs: conceptual, superordinate, and common across disciplines, and explored a way…

Individuals with Down syndrome face cognitive limitations that hinder learning and understanding in various contexts. Dance, which has rarely been explored in special education, offers improvements in acquiring skills including motor and emotional development. The use of mobile learning tools can also have a positive impact on the learning process…
