The interactions among all members of an online learning community significantly impact collaborative reflection (co-reflection). Although the relationship between learners’ roles and co-reflection levels has been explored by previous researche...
Second language (L2) researchers have established that examining learners’ awareness of their own learning process and progress is essential. However, learners exposed to the same input in the classroom may differ in the way that they perform. This d...
Promoting reflective thinking is becoming increasingly important in helping learners develop strategies to apply new information to unpredictable situations during their daily activities. Reflective writing, based on Kolb’s experiential learnin...
The lack of graph information caused by ignoring the association between learners often affects the accuracy of graph-based learning. This paper proposes an approach called attention-based multi-topological graph convolution (A-MTGCN) to address this...
This study investigated the effect of interactive computer simulation-supported inquiry on South African grade 8 learners’ comprehension of atoms and molecular structures. Two sample groups of 34 learners per sample group were used, one acting...
The research problematises the different micro-exclusion practices in rural primary schools and their impact on learners’ participation and academic development. Rural primary school classrooms perpetuate systemic micro-exclusion of learners in...
Background: Thesis writing is a complex academic and emotional process that requires learners to develop research, writing, and communication skills while navigating through uncertainty, evolving research challenges, and gaining greater levels of sch...
In increasingly digital and AI-mediated educational environments, adult learners are required to navigate complex information landscapes shaped by artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and algorithmically generated content. In such contexts, di...
This study responds to the urgent need for education that fosters sustainable, self-directed development by introducing a five-phase narrative instruction pre-module grounded within the Life Design Thinking (LDT) framework. Integrating design thinkin...
Target 4.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals requires that, by 2030, all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development. This not only demands an interdisciplinary approach, but also that this approach must see...
Research in study abroad (SA) has developed over the past several decades, with an increasing focus on individual learners and their experiences. Despite this trend, it remains unclear what affordances beyond the classroom are available to students a...
The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) raises critical questions about learner autonomy and agency. This exploratory case study examines how four university-level German language learners with diverse backgrounds developed autono...
Whilst study abroad (SA) periods hold much promise for foreign language development, increasing research suggests sojourners’ experiences are unique, and language development does not always follow a linear trajectory. For some learners, SA has...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has reshaped contemporary approaches to teaching, assessment, and feedback. Most AI systems provide reactive feedback, offering instant answers that reduce learners’ cognitive engagement and sense of agency. In cont...
The current study examines variation in copula selection in Spanish by looking at the written productions of three groups of language learners in the United States, including heritage learners, those with English as an L1, and international students...
Contextual factors in which learning occurs are crucial aspects that learning analytics and related disciplines aim to understand for optimizing learning and the environments in which learning occurs. In foreign vocabulary development, taking the not...
The global importance of English and therefore the teaching of the English language has made the English language curriculum an integral part of all levels of teacher education, including early childhood education. The purpose of this study was to fi...
This chapter provides middle school mathematics teachers with strategies to specifically address culturally responsive teaching goals. Authors provide background on culturally sustaining practices and use Ellerbrock and Vomvoridi-Ivanovic’s (20...
In science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM)-based music education, sound serves as a shared object of listening, inquiry, design, representation, and artistic expression. Sound is approached as musical material, a physical phen...
The violence occurring in schools is a concerning phenomenon with pervasive implications for learners, teachers, and communities. Its impact culminates in fear, stress, and a reduced sense of safety among learners and teachers. Its consequences exten...
As artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in classrooms, tutoring systems, and learning platforms, it is essential that these tools are not only powerful, but also easy to understand, fair, and supportive of real learning. Many current AI...
Graphs are a conceptually demanding yet foundational component of school mathematics, yet their teaching is often shaped by procedural routines that can obscure weak conceptual understanding. A persistent concern is that teachers’ confidence in...
Adult learner dropout is adults’ withdrawal or stop-out from formal or non-formal educational programs before successful completion. For adult learners, withdrawal often manifests as stop-out or temporary disengagement rather than permanent att...
The adaptability of learning styles to gamified learning models was explored to better understand the needs and advantages of students in different educational environments. Learning styles reflect the preferences and habits of each student, which ar...
The aim of this article is to design an online learning platform that allows tutoring between learners from different levels and the possibility of adding content to the fields of knowledge, using measures that assess quality. It is a versatile techn...
Scholars have emphasized the importance of situating learners in authentic learning contexts. Nevertheless, it is sometimes challenging to provide learners with real contexts owing to various reasons, such as safety or economic consideration. The adv...
Effective clinical reasoning is essential for veterinary medical education, particularly in managing complex cases. This review explores strategies for learning clinical reasoning by veterinary medical learners, using a case example of mastitis to il...
Addressing existential and spiritual care needs, often remains a challenge in health education. Spirituality is a subjective human experience that shapes how individuals make meaning, construct knowledge, develop their own sense of reality, and bring...
Research has shown that attention plays a crucial role in developing mathematical problem-solving skills, particularly for students who struggle with non-routine tasks. Even basic operations require shifts in attention, underscoring the deep connecti...
Designing guided inquiry requires more than reducing teacher direction: open-ended science tasks must preserve learner decision making while providing sufficient support for disciplinary reasoning. Adopting an interpretivist perspective, this qualita...
