Social emotional learning (SEL) has become a popular trend in the field of Education in Emergencies (EiE). Many SEL programs targeting refugee learners aim to help individuals develop skills that are necessary for learning and development, as well as mitigate the adverse impacts of crisis and displacement. While nearly half a billion USD has been…

This multiple methods study examined the impact of brief, intentional instruction in the areas of mindfulness and social and emotional learning (SEL) on teacher self-efficacy, teacher mindfulness, and the use of mindfulness practices. The SEL content and strategies were taught to pre-service educators during their student teaching seminars.…

Despite evidenced challenges compared to non-rural areas, rural communities are in a unique position to help address recent national demands for renewed STEM emphasis in schools (Saw & Agger, 2021). This study utilizes interviews from five rural educators who participated in a three-week STEM learning camp to discuss: 1) how teachers perceive…

These proceedings contain the papers of the 20th International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA 2023), held in Madeira Island, Portugal, from 21 to 23 October 2023 and organized by the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS). The CELDA conference aims to address the…

Academic advisors are crucial to the success of students who attend higher education institutions (e.g., Himes, 2014; Paul & Fitzpatrick, 2015; Smith, 2005). They guide students to complete their degrees in a timely progression and serve as a contact for students to help increase a sense of belonging on college campuses. Higher education…

Pearson's Learning Foundations describe the optimal conditions for learning and reflect the learner experience Pearson hopes their products will create. Pearson does this by incorporating the Learning Design Principles. Each of the Learning Design Principles goes into detail about a key principle, supporting product design and marketing by…

MCL unclearly defined for the teachers asked to implement it in the classroom. This study sought to determine how teacher's implement MCL through the data collection of a mind map, which instructional components teachers used, the ideas that MCL has advanced and the idea that MCL made sense of. This qualitative case study analyzed six teacher's…

In recent years, the integration approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is called for many disciplines, it also STEM education has paved the way for transformative advancements. This paper provides an example of AI-driven learning analytics within the context of STEM education. It provides a thorough analysis of the AI-driven STEM curriculum and…

In contemporary education, Hybrid Education, Learning, and Assessment (HELA) practices have experienced a surge in adoption, transcending the boundaries of technology-driven paradigms. This transformative wave is reshaping the educational landscape, redefining the very essence of pedagogical strategies. These practices are embedded in the way we…

Universities invest in Telepresence (TP) classroom methods to ensure quality teaching and learning while reaching as many students as possible at one time. However, TP classrooms are challenging. Existing research points out the limitations in guaranteeing "presence" in TP as that of face-to-face classes, which positively impacts…

A previous meta-analysis found that active learning has a positive impact on learning achievements for college students in STEM fields of study. However, no similar meta-analyses have been conducted in the humanities and social sciences. Because major dissimilarities may exist between different fields or domain of knowledge, there can be issues…

This study is focusing on synthesizing the theoretical and designing framework of constructivist gamification environment models to enhance ill-structured problem solving in learning science. The research model used is based on model development (phase 1) proposed by Richey & Klein. This research consists of two phases as follow: (1) to…

Spatial ability is an influential factor for academic performance in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. However, the roles of spatial strategies are unclear. Therefore, coupling with virtual Starmaze developed by fields of cognitive neuroscience, this study aimed to explore spatial strategy among STEM students and…

The current dissertation investigates factors that influence usages of Japanese honorifics and explores how instructors can introduce honorifics more effectively to second-language learners. Apart from existing literature, my data includes a corpus of real-life usages of Modern Japanese, classroom observations, interviews with Japanese language…

We report on the design and development of an introductory analytics course delivered to almost 10,000 undergraduate business students to date. One novel aspect of the course is its orientation to add analytics capabilities to a business student's toolbox, resulting in significant design and implementation implications. We anchored the course on…
