The present continuous tense can be problematic among L1 Thai learners due to the variation in contexts in which the tense can be used (Boonjoon, 2017; Khattiya, 2018; Kongthai, 2015). The present study aimed to examine the functional use of the English present continuous tense by L1 Thai learners under the theoretical framework of the…

Molecular imprinting technology holds significant potential for applications in chemical analysis and detection. In order to integrate the fundamental knowledge of polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, and analytical chemistry with practical applications and cutting-edge research, we proposed a comprehensive experiment of the preparation,…

We use critical qualitative methods to demonstrate how ambiguities present in definitions of learning disability (LD) and processes for determining LD eligibility under IDEA result in inequitable outcomes for minoritized students. To investigate this issue, we first outline how the LD label is situated within medical and psychological…

We examined a select group of R1 and R2 Doctor of Philosophy programs in education, focusing on core courses, research courses, dissertation structures, required credits, program structures, and experiential learning opportunities. A comparative analysis of ten institutions revealed commonalities in dissertation credit requirements but diverges in…

This study compared school-aged monolingual and bilingual English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) learners in terms of understanding metaphors on recall, multiple-choice, and reasoning tasks. It also examined the relationship between cognitive capacity and understanding metaphors on different measures. A hundred and thirty Persian--Turkish early…

The study was focused to explore the use of virtual world of computer in Biology experiments to foster the students' problem-solving skills (PSS). The study was made on explanatory sequential mixed method design which included quantitative (true-experimental) approach was followed by qualitative (interview protocol) method. Population of the study…

The use of a drama-based pedagogical (DBP) approach, while well-documented to promote active learning and enhance students' generic skills, is under-utilised in the context of higher education, particularly in psychology learning and teaching (L&T). A project, comprising two virtual drama-integrated learning sessions, was implemented to gauge…

Judging, marking, and ranking students is a common practice in higher education, though the pervasive dependence upon grades to dictate a student's success or failure has come under increased scrutiny. While "ungrading" and alternative grading practices are endorsed by progressive educators, there are few systematic, empirical studies of…

The Playful Hybrid Higher Education project [https://playhybrid.education/], based in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at the University of Calgary (Canada) and funded by the Imagination Lab Foundation, explores how play and creativity can be integrated into hybrid classrooms, particularly in response to the shift to blended…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum and learning activities may help students learn social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies needed to support independence and community living, as well as 21st-century career development skills. Including robotics and coding curriculum in elementary classrooms can offer all…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of supervisors' past experiences in school on their present learning behaviors. Design/methodology/approach: Data were gathered in a time-lagged study. Supervisors populated a previously validated survey about their quality of school life. One week later, a direct measure of learning…

Gamification allows for the implementation of experiences that simulate the design of (video) games, giving individuals the opportunity to be the protagonists in them. Its inclusion in the educational environment responds to the need to adapt teaching-learning processes to the characteristics of homo videoludens, placing value once again on the…

The role of mathematics in several scientific disciplines is undisputed; work and everyday life take great advantage of its application. Nevertheless, students often tend to not particularly like it and to consider it of little interest. It is also believed that only people with a certain attitude are capable of mastering the subject. In…

The purpose of this paper is to consider the following two notions; (1) that the use of 'informal education pedagogies' within teaching and learning in the 'academy' can both support the learning process within the 'classroom' but also transcend to society via students; and (2) that synergies exist between informal education and social pedagogical…

This study examined how to improve students' regulation of task-oriented reading (TOR). TOR encompasses reading and information processing needed to perform a specific task. Previous studies suggest students can benefit from a collaboration script to enhance socially shared regulation of TOR. The collaboration script elicits discussions about task…
