This article, co-authored with a group of undergraduate secondary music student teachers, shares their experiences as they learned about additional support needs and inclusive practice through a series of 10 problem-based learning (PBL) sessions. Drawing from their reflections on the weekly sessions, the paper explores the students' learning…

Formative assessment has been long emphasised as a powerful means for enhancing science learning. However, there is still a lack of research to investigate the impacts of formative assessment on both students' motivational beliefs and behaviours in science learning. This study examined such impacts using data from six Western and six East Asian…

Learning to revise one's writing is a critical part of learning how to write. However, critical feedback and demands to make revisions can make writing aversive for some students, particularly students with poor writing skills. Allowing students to escape further writing tasks contingent on making revisions to written drafts (differential negative…

One of the ways in which schools try to improve students' motivation is through making learning meaningful for students. The concept of meaningful learning, however, has been defined in various ways in the literature. This small-scale in-depth study focused on meaningful learning in mathematics in upper-primary education. We investigated what…

The purpose of this study is to consider Superman's acts against impulse-momentum and conservation of momentum principles. Superheroes as fantasy fiction characters attract the attention of not only children and teenagers but also adults. Superheroes can be useful in explaining a phenomenon, as well as overcoming conceptual difficulties that may…

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the association between Entrepreneurial Education (EE) and Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) and the multiple mediation model of Creativity and Entrepreneurial Motivation (EM). Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a sample of 300 students who have studied entrepreneurial development courses…

Purpose: Serious games and gamification are evidence-based forms of game-based learning that facilitate student/client instruction. Serious games are activities that directly incorporate educational content into games; gamification integrates characteristics of games into nongame activities. They both promote learning by increasing students'…

Through an initial documentary analysis of the flipped classroom in the context of a pandemic and of the new pedagogical models based on active methodologies or pedagogies and cooperative learning, the experience presented below is part of an innovation project based on the design of cooperative activities focused on students to enhance their…

This study investigates students' motivation during experimentation in geography lessons by implementing a newly developed experimental kit on soils (GeoBox) in Germany. The study focuses on a first evaluation by means of a one-group pretest/posttest design. Fifth-grade students (N = 166) answered a questionnaire pertaining to regular geography…

In the data science courses at the University of British Columbia, we define data science as the study, development and practice of reproducible and auditable processes to obtain insight from data. While reproducibility is core to our definition, most data science learners enter the field with other aspects of data science in mind, for example…

Creativity can be cultivated in the classroom by the teacher through classroom management. The present research attempts to study middle school teachers' classroom management that attends to students' creativity. We interviewed twenty-one middle school teachers of seven disciplines about their classroom management to cultivate their students'…

Previous research has illustrated the potential of flipped learning for assisting teachers in designing meaningful activities to promote students' higher order thinking skills; however, several previous studies have challenged the effects of flipped learning on students' learning. One of the key problems is the lack of an effective learning…

The self-system model of motivational development was used in this study to examine whether and how student motivation and self-assessment practices--as psychological and behavioural mechanisms, respectively--link need-supportive teaching to students' objective achievement scores in English language learning. We applied a multilevel mediation…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of those technologies with a wide range of applications, from planes to cars, from factories to homes. As IoT technology is an interdisciplinary field, it is generally one of the most difficult subjects to learn. Therefore, there is a need to use and develop new teaching methods to facilitate the teaching of IoT…

A linked data approach provides new opportunities for annotating, interlinking, sharing and enriching massive open online educational resources. However, it can be difficult for non-expert users to build and utilize the educational linked data in educational settings. Thus, flexible and user-friendly ways to represent, interlink, visualize and…
