The purpose of this study was to investigate a predictive model of online learners' learning outcomes through machine learning. To create a model, we observed students' motivation, learning tendencies, online learning-motivated attention, and supportive learning behaviors along with final test scores. A total of 225 college students who were…

As 2020 draws to a close, so does this first volume of Mathematics Teacher: "Learning and Teaching PK-12" ("MTLT"). Ascribing to a digital-first philosophy, the articles comprising this first volume included digital assets such as classroom videos, author introductions, and digital applications (e.g., Desmos apps) and addressed…

The increasing use of information technology in the discovery of new molecular entities encourages the use of modern molecular-modeling tools to help teach important concepts of drug design to chemistry and pharmacy undergraduate students. In particular, statistical models such as quantitative structure--activity relationships (QSAR)--often as its…

Fair educational assessment in linguistically diverse contexts poses new challenges which call for the need to evaluate the impact of context-related language factors on student performance. Based on data from the Basque Autonomous Community in Spain, this research analyses the effect of different factors on a mathematics achievement test. Using…

Over the past three decades, many higher education scholars have engaged in efforts to counter the stereotype that Asian Americans achieve universal and unparalleled academic success. While most of these scholars adopt an anti-oppression approach, some researchers have claimed that this literature reinforces oppressive deficit paradigms. To…

The BIOSEL (Biotechnology Series Learning) model is a learning model that provides opportunities for students to assemble learning through a conceptual description of the coherent and precise steps of Biotechnology implementation. The purpose of this research was to analyze validity and practicality of the BIOSEL model to improve the concept…

This paper reports on the development and piloting of a new model of multiplechoice question (MCQ) assessment used in two undergraduate degree modules at a tertiary university. The new model was purposefully designed to promote deeper learning closely aligned with the SOLO taxonomy. Students were invited to participate in an exploratory…

This quantitative research aims to analyze the design and implementation of the Web Application on the educational process of the Linear Function (WALF) considering the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) model and data science. The sample consists of 45 students who studied the Basic Math course at a Mexican university during…

Project-based learning (PBL) and Blended Learning (BL) have been widely used in universities. There are some empirical teaching researches on PBL in the BL environment for some specific courses, but for the combination of PBL and BL, there is as yet no universal teaching model. This article puts forward a new universal teaching mode: Project-Based…

Professional knowledge for science teaching develops over time and interplays with professional experiences in field. In the present study, we explore student teachers' reflective conversation upon teaching experiences, with pedagogical content knowledge, PCK, as an analytical lens. The empirical data is based on nine meetings, with groups of 3-6…

The background of this research is the inconsistency of the results of previous research about the factors that influence moral disengagement. This study aims to determine the role of critical thinking as a mediator of the influence of internal locus of control on student moral disengagement. The population in this study were 1560 students of the…

Enzyme kinetics is the study of enzymatic catalytic rates in biochemical reactions. This topic is commonly taught to life science students in introductory biochemistry courses during their undergraduate education. Unlike most other biochemistry topics, which focus on visual structures of biomolecules and their processes, enzyme kinetics is…

This research study presents the PGBE model for teaching and learning percentages with students of Grade 7 when their cognitive development enables the conceptual understanding of percentages as proportional statements, and offers the possibility for more effective matching of them with fractions and decimal numbers. The abbreviation PGBE presents…

Data analysis is a significant methodological component when conducting quantitative education studies. Guidelines for conducting data analyses in quantitative education studies are common but often underemphasize four important methodological components impacting the validity of inferences: quality of constructed measures, proper handling of…

"Active ingredients" are one way to describe the elements of a program that are responsible for the targeted change in behavior, skill, attitude, or belief (Li & Julian "American Journal of Orthopsychiatry," 82(2), 157-166, 2012). This term assumes a connection between program elements (ingredients) and participant…
