This study investigates the challenges to effectively implementing a multimedia-supported flipped classroom approach (MSFCA) for teaching organic chemistry in Rwandan secondary schools. The primary objective was to explore the challenges students face when learning organic chemistry through the MSFCA and the difficulties teachers encounter when…

This study examines the spatio-temporal and projected dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) changes in Durban Metropolis, South Africa. The research problem focuses on the growing tension between urban sprawl and the ecological sustainability of recreational parks in Durban Metropolis. As rapid urban expansion continues to encroach upon the…

There are important connections between child-centered approaches, wellness, and the activist role that art museum educators can play in their institutions and the wider community. While there are practical challenges to achieving these goals within a small institution, the museum educator's positionality in such an institution can allow for…

Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) is increasingly being used in education for its ability to recreate vivid, realistic environments that enhance engagement and motivation. In history education, iVR is often considered when fostering emotional connection and empathy. However, its potential to support critical historical thinking, such as analysing…

We present methods to examine the relationships between climate change and education while rethinking educational approaches that do not rely on endless economic growth, extraction, and accumulation through dispossession. At this historical moment, which is focused on transitions toward a greener future, it is essential to consider how the roles…

Background/purpose: The study aimed to identify the teaching practices of middle school science teachers in light of the PISA 2025 test competencies. Materials/methods: A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, and an observation card was used to collect information. It was applied to a sample of middle school science teachers in public…

The integration of the flipped classroom model, self-efficacy theory, and the value of out-of-school learning environments forms the foundation for this study. By employing the flipped classroom model, preservice teachers can develop their instructional skills and build self-efficacy in organizing educational field trips. The active,…

This study aims to examine how to integrate generative AI (GenAI) into marketing education. We used the transformation mechanism within boundary crossing theory to explore how marketing professional insights can be utilized to prepare students for industry demands in the GenAI era. We analyze industry content and GenAI courses alongside 26…

Even though physical experiments are mandatory in science education, there has been an increasing demand for virtual experiments. This research aimed to investigate the impact of virtual experiments compared to physical experiments on students' conceptual understanding of chemical kinetics concepts. To achieve this, a two-phase explanatory…

Despite a marked increase in the volume of research investigating issues about reading interventions for students with ASD (e.g., Bailey and Arciuli, Rev J Autism Dev Disord 7(2):127-150, 2020; Chiang and Lin, Focus Autism Other Dev Disab 22(4):259-267, 2007), very few studies have examined the current reading practices experienced by children…

This systematic literature review examines the use of networked learning strategies and tools in supporting active learning in fully online higher education classrooms since the COVID-19 pandemic. With the increasing adoption of online and blended learning, there is a growing need to understand how networked learning can facilitate engagement,…

Metacognition, which involves the deliberate awareness and analysis of one's own learning and thought processes, has gained significant traction among educational researchers. The burgeoning volume of metacognition studies underscores the importance of examining its current status and evolving trends. Leveraging topic modeling and bibliometrics on…
