Research Reproducibility: Educating for Reproducibility, Pathways to Research Integrity was an interdisciplinary, conference hosted virtually by the University of Florida in December 2020. This event brought together educators, researchers, students, policy makers, and industry representatives from across the globe to explore best practices,…

Prior research in Team-Based Massive Open Online Project courses (TB-MOOPs) has demonstrated both the importance of effective group composition and the potential for using automated methods for forming effective teams. Past work on automated team assignment has produced both spectacular failures and spectacular successes. In either case, different…

The paper examines the role educators and members of school management teams (SMTs) play in transforming schools towards integrative learning environments. Data was collected through a survey and individual interviews that were administered to educators and members of SMTs (N = 88) in four multiracial schools. The survey included open-ended…

This qualitative meta-analysis explored the nature of successful collaboration between teachers and school librarians. Three action research studies of school librarians who integrated instruction or curriculum through collaboration with teachers are examined to understand more about what strategies made the collaboration successful. Strategies…

This paper outlines some of the key changes to cultivating relevant capabilities, skills, and competencies that are expected of university graduates today. Transformation processes in this area are calling for the creation of a relevant system of workforce education and training, with a focus on optimizing the conditions for combining work and…

Educational chatbots promise many benefits for teaching and learning. Although chatbot use cases in this research field are rapidly growing, most studies focus on individual users rather than on collaborative group settings. To address this issue, this paper investigates how chatbot-mediated learning can be designed to foster middle school…

This paper explores the dynamics of teamwork in a team-based Massive Open Online Course. The purpose of the study is to discover patterns and characteristics of the students in teams that completed the course. Many studies have revealed that a very small percentage of students complete Massive Open Online Courses. The percentage is even smaller in…

The majority of the research to date on education networks has been conducted in the urban context; few studies specifically examine the experience and impact of rural collaboratives, and even fewer of these have had a regional character that spans states or provinces (Battelle for Kids, 2016; Kannapel & DeYoung, 1999; Tieken, 2014). This…

Although postgraduate students are required to be self-directed, this is not always the case. The aims of this study were twofold. Firstly, we investigated whether the use of problem-based projects supported students in implementing different cryptography algorithms as part of a group assignment. Secondly, we determined to which extent the use of…

This paper outlines a collaborative approach to the design of open educational resources (OER) with community stakeholders so they can be shared with other community practitioners openly, online and repurposed for other contexts. We view curriculum not as something that educationalists provide but rather something that emerges as learners engage…

Regarding the growing frequency of crisis situations in society, an improvement of special educators' skills in providing psychosocial first aid (PFA) to people with disability in crisis situations needs to be taken into account. The goal of the study was to ascertain the special educator`s role when providing PFA in selected crisis situations, as…

National contest "Lithuanian naturalist" 1st-2nd form students' team (15) performed task (from animate nature and people's living environment sphere) analysis was carried out. The attention was paid to students' natural science knowledge and understanding. The research was grounded on the attitude that this contest as a non-formal…

In this article, we report how a geometric task based on the ACODESA methodology (collaborative learning, scientific debate and self-reflection) promotes the reformulation of the students' validations and allows revealing the students' aims in each of the stages of the methodology. To do so, we present the case of a team and, particularly, one of…

This presentation reports the results from a three year research project examining evaluation capacity building in a complex adaptive system (CAS) and using CAS as a lens for the analysis. The NSF funded Complex Adaptive Systems as a Model for Network Evaluations (CASNET) project provides new insights on (1) the implications of complexity theory…

This qualitative study explored undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of team competition, motivation, and learner engagement in an online educational game developed at one university. Researchers explored qualitative data from focus groups, observations, and documents by coding for themes and sub-themes. They found that students were mainly…
