Challenge-based Learning (CBL) is a pedagogical approach that actively involves students in a realistic, problematic and meaningful situation related to their environment, which requires defining a challenge and implementing a solution for it (OIETM, 2015). The CBL methodology was applied by instructors with the support of students, part of the…

As technology advances, virtual museums have gained popularity as a new form of learning resources. However, persuading audiences to absorb and comprehend a tremendous volume of information in an unregulated online environment is the challenge. Considering the use of an online application in educational practice, collaborative teamwork can be…

Over the last three decades, educational researchers and policymakers have increasingly promoted instructional strategies that centralize group work in mathematics. One difficulty teachers face in implementing group-based instruction in mathematics involves facilitating meaningful group interaction amongst students. In this paper, we explore…

This study aimed to implement a learning model developed by the Group Investigation E-Task in Activities Learning (GIETAL) model for theoretical learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The learning process that previously used conventional methods has been changed to online learning. For this reason, a practical and effective learning model is…

Modern society is complex and ever-changing. To adapt to this situation, the level of education must be continuously enhanced, and college students who are about to enter society are the group that needs the most attention. As a creative and effective teaching organizational form and teaching strategy, the cooperative learning method plays an…

Background and Context: Productive failure (PF) is a learning paradigm that flips the order of instruction: students work on a problem, then receive a lesson. PF increases learning, but less is known about student emotions and collaboration during PF, particularly in a computer science context. Objective: To provide insight on students' emotions…

Collaboration skills and critical thinking skills are two real-life competencies in the 21st century. These two skills are believed to be related to one another. However, research on the magnitude of the correlation between the two skills is rarely investigated. Empowerment of these two skills cannot be separated from the learning model. This…

In academic studies, some course assignments involve slideshows. The current study examines how students perceive the benefits and shortcomings of slideshows as a course evaluation tool. The study combines qualitative and quantitative tools. Predicated on 66 fully completed questionnaires, we perform qualitative analysis, followed by a…

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has been an effective pedagogy in the field of education. However, productive collaborative learning often does not occur spontaneously, and learners often have difficulties with collaborative knowledge building and socially shared regulation. To address this research gap, this study proposes an…

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the seven-stop IMPROVE program (Introducing new concepts, Metacognitive questioning, Practicing, Reviewing and reducing difficulties, Obtaining mastery, Verification, and Enrichment) on the achievement of preliminary students at Taif University, Saudi Arabia, at the first three levels of the…

This paper presents a methodology for exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in supporting divergent thinking within academic arts education. Thirteen students from Rome Fine Arts Academy engaged with excerpts from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," using artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as Kobi, Chat GPT, and Midjourney to…

The importance and benefits of teamwork in the university context have been widely recognized in recent decades. However, there is little evidence that analyzes the effects of the combination of collaborative learning strategies and gamification methodologies for the improvement of transversal skills and academic performance. In this sense, in…

Communication theory can be challenging to teach in an engaging manner. The following original teaching activity suggests a way to incorporate the phenomenon of escape rooms into your theory classroom. Courses: Communication Theory, Introduction to Communication. Objectives: In this activity, students will apply the basic tenets of several…

The increase in digital teaching and learning methodologies creates the opportunity for new educational approaches, both in terms of pedagogical practice and in the availability of new technological tools. The flipped classroom as an active teaching methodology is one example of blended learning (b-learning), which aims to harmonize and enhance…

The use of virtual reality and 360° videos has been little researched so far, especially in social work studies and teaching. The reasons for this are the low prevalence of VR headsets in social work courses and the fundamental technological deficit in social work, which means the lack of clear causal chains within it. Professionals must adapt…
