Background: Enabling teaching approaches that promote active learning can require a certain amount of organisational reorientation. For example, structural and cultural shifts may be needed to accommodate moves towards student-centred learning. In higher education environments, lecturers can play a significant role in supporting students'…

Collaborative learning is acknowledged as an important skill in both higher education and modern society. However, there are many challenges when designing and implementing collaborative learning and many studies report that college students are often frustrated when placed in such situations. Despite the fact that the literature has a wide range…

This dissertation study takes up a narrative approach, grounded in both critical and feminist pedagogies, to explore how in-service teachers use small stories to participate in knowledge construction and critical reflection on issues of the sociopolitical contexts of education. Further, this study sits at an intersection of teacher learning and…

Despite the proliferation of research about pair/group interaction during second language collaborative writing, little is known about how psychological factors, in particular learner attitude affect participation and learning in collaborative writing. This study primarily attempted to investigate whether EFL learners' attitudes toward…

Group awareness is of critical relevance for collaborative learning and interaction and is thus often referred to in CSCL research. However, the concept is only vaguely defined as some kind of understanding or perception of characteristics of learning partners or the collaborating group. Most CSCL research activities concerned with group awareness…

Purpose: Is there a specific way of thinking about organisational learning in Nordic countries? Are concepts such as organisational learning and learning organisations imported, or do they emerge with specific meanings from more local discourses? Beyond that, are they supported by specific learning theories? The purpose of this paper is to trace…

In this article, we explore space, time, and mattering in relation to empathy and nature by examining videos created by 10 undergraduate education majors attending university in Helsinki. Completed as part of a cross-curricular project between art and music students, the video artworks were inspired by a garden theme. Using arts-based,…

This paper presents a didactic proposal designed through the active methodology of collaborative learning to analyse the effect of the use of numerical simulation of a mathematical model on the learning of differential equations in engineering students. A mathematical model of a vibrating string was used, and the Octave Online platform was used…

In recent years, the importance of the pedagogical and physical design of new learning environments has grown. Around the world, innovative pedagogy has been implemented to address, among other things, the development of social skills. In this study, we examined an educational program that is an applied example of the constructivist approach whose…

Given the instrumental value of good collaborations for societal flourishing, educating for good collaborators (viz., agents who have the motivation and ability to collaborate with others) should be one of the fundamental goals of contemporary education. Still, fostering the growth of dispositions needed for successful collaborations is not…

Mining problems and exploring rules are the key problems in the learning process, and also the difficulties in education big data. Therefore, taking learning behavior as the research objective, this study demonstrates the collaborative training method of multi view learning interaction process driven by big data, so as to realize the tendency…

Management students conduct much of their coursework in teams, as they should. We teach them where teams can fail and how teams can become high performing. But too often, the team experience for students is solely about logistics and coordination. Students often miss the rich benefits of using their self-awareness and social intelligence to…

Background: Different types of assessments influence learning and learning behaviour. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) reward partial knowledge and encourage surface learning, while open-ended questions (OEQs) promote deeper learning. Currently, MCQs is part of team-based learning (TBL) curriculum, and it is challenging to implement OEQs as…

The purpose of this study aimed to analyze the process of online collaborative problem solving (CPS) via brain-to-brain synchrony (BS) at the problem-understanding and problem-solving stages. Aiming to obtain additional insights than traditional approaches (survey and observation), BS refers to the synchronization of brain activity between two or…

The author follows a new materialist approach to consider the informal and collaborative creative gathering called jamming as creative play, and she makes a case for the jam as a transformative event of genuine intrasubjective dialogue. She uses Karen Barad's theory of agential realism and Hans-Georg Gadamer's ethics of play to argue for the jam…
