Data-driven marketing analytics courses are integral to modern business management degrees in universities, yet many graduates focus solely on single, separated data analysis techniques during their learning process, hindering effective integration and practical performance. This study proposes that employing the Fishbowl method, which divides…

Occupational therapy (OT) programs develop students' critical thinking, professional reasoning, and use of evidence-based practice through a core curriculum that includes academic reading. The existing body of research exploring the use of metacognitive strategies by OT students during academic reading is underdeveloped. Researchers conducted a…

Cover, copy, and compare (CCC) is a study strategy in which students cover their notes, attempt to copy them, and then compare for accuracy. We evaluated whether CCC could be used to establish equivalence classes with undergraduate students. A video training package and experimenter feedback were used to teach participants to engage in CCC with…

Given the evidence pointing to the psychological and developmental benefits of educational approaches that allow for student autonomy, consent, and self-direction, schooling approaches identified as self-directed education (SDE) are poised to contribute meaningfully to contemporary discourse relative to school reform. Yet parents and teachers know…

Studies looking into second language development have shown that findings about a group of learners cannot be transferred to individual learners. In this study, we explored ways to meaningfully group individuals starting from the data and investigated whether this grouping can give extra information about learning trajectories that goes beyond the…

All internal evaluation units of public sector agencies face tradeoffs arising from the tension within the "independence-accountability-learning" nexus. Most such units are not independent, unlike the World Bank unit, which was ostensibly independent from its inception half a century ago. But new archival evidence reveals that between…

As the profile of students entering higher education (HE) has diversified, so too has their residential status. Where students live partly reflects the agenda for widening access but is also a response to rising costs associated with university participation. In the UK, more students are commuting, despite associated challenges and reports of…

Background: Teacher learning from professional development (PD) remains undertheorized. Most PD studies focus on its content or structure to gauge learning, leaving substantive gaps in our understanding of teacher learning processes and the role of contexts. Therefore, we investigate teachers' learning as they take practices from PD and adapt them…

Background Study: Learning Analytics (LA) has emerged as a powerful tool for personalising learning, gaining insights into students' learning processes, and enhancing teachers' reflective practices and awareness. Over the past decades, extensive research has been conducted to understand the factors that play a crucial role in the adoption of…

An ethical dilemma occurs when a situation may be resolved in various ethical and unethical ways. School psychologists have previously reported experiencing ethical dilemmas in practice, particularly around administrative pressures, unsound educational practices, assessment, and confidentiality. The current study queried school psychologists'…

Background: Epistemological beliefs and motivational factors are significant predictors of achievement in science. Purpose: To understand how social context factors shape epistemological beliefs and motivational factors and how they pass the influences to achievement in science. Sample: A population of ninth graders in an underdeveloped region of…

Objective: Although role-play is a common pedagogic strategy in sexuality education, there has been little guidance to help educators in crafting and facilitating effective role-plays. This integrative review summarises existing literature on the effects and effectiveness of role-play, who may benefit from role-play, and what guidelines exist to…

Critical thinking is one of the 4C skills needed in 21st century education. This is the reason for the need to conduct a review to find an effort to improve critical thinking skills, especially in education. A relevant strategy in this effort is integrating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into the learning process. A…

Purpose: There is a clear gap in the literature regarding the factors that determine social conductivity (extent of interactions) in project relationships. This study aims to use social capital theory to answer the research question -- What factors determine social conductivity in project relationships? Design/methodology/approach: In the study,…

This paper explores the implementation of gamification in higher education, specifically within the anatomy and physiology classroom. By leveraging desirable game elements, such as rapid feedback, a low-stakes environment, and collaborative learning, educators may enhance student engagement, persistence, and overall learning experiences. I will…
