Given the pressure to demonstrate meaningful return from investment in Learning and Development (L&D) interventions, there is an increasing need to reliably evaluate such interventions, both from the point of view of their overall effectiveness (summative approach) and their continuing improvement (formative approach). A literature review, the…

It may seem that learning platforms and systems are a tired topic for the academic community; however, with the recent advancements in artificial intelligence, they have become relevant to both current and future educational discourse. This systematic literature review explored platforms and software supporting personalized learning processes in…

Purpose: This paper describes a senior-level biomedical engineering course designed to educate students on primary literature analysis and effective scientific communication. The course integrates elements from both disciplines through in-class discussions of primary research articles and an innovative annotation project utilizing the Science in…

Single-case research designs are useful for learning disability researchers interested in refining novel interventions (e.g., new mathematics intervention) before scaling, small n populations (e.g., students with comorbid learning and emotional and behavioral disabilities), and testing unique conditions (e.g., remote locales). Much attention has…

Technology advancement provides an opportunity for helping both teachers and students to solve and improve mathematics teaching and learning performances. This systematic review aims to add to the discussion through a comprehensive overview of the integration of digital technologies into the teaching and learning of geometry at the secondary…

Case-Based Learning (CBL) in science education has developed rapidly. This paper reviews the literature on trends in implementing CBL in science education. For this systematic review, we followed the recommendation of the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. Data were obtained from the ERIC,…

An analysis of the history of the evolution of education and its impact on economic development establishes the context and motivation for my primary research. The research inquiry is to determine if there is a measurable relationship between the three variables of training expenditures, private education spending, and academic publications with…

A study is presented that analyzed the pedagogical efficacy of reading opinion articles about methods of science, published in the media, in order to improve the meta-scientific understanding of 52 preservice primary teachers (PPTs) with regard to the topic. To this end, an activity was designed taking an explicit and reflective approach. The…

We present a novel method for the critical analysis of professional scientists' communications with the public. The method blends Entman's (2007) [Framing bias: Media in the distribution of power. "Journal of Communication," 57(1), 163-173)] framing theory and van Leeuwen's (1996) [The representation of social actors. In C. R.…

Although most students in nonmajor biology courses will not enter careers in science, they will need a working understanding of biology and how it relates to their lives to make informed decisions on important topics that will affect their lives, including food, environment, energy, and health. This research seeks to improve on nonmajors'…

Empathy plays a fundamental role in the prosocial development of young people today as an essential skill for interacting with other human beings.
