The convergence of educational technologies, ergonomics, and active learning frameworks offers a multidimensional approach to improving educational outcomes. This study examines the role of Learning Analytics (LA) in optimizing ergonomic educational spaces to support active learning within the higher education context of Kazakhstan, however the outcomes may equally be applied to neighboring count…

Teaching math through inquiry can be excellent. It's a goal to aspire to. But for many struggling students, jumping straight into pure inquiry without any explicit instruction first can be paralyzing. Juliana Tapper's Math Wars model helps teachers find the happy (gray) medium. The post Be a Shade of Gray in the Either/Or Math War first appeared on MiddleWeb .

The problem addressed through this study is that recent high school graduates’ perspectives on how teachers practiced empathy as an approach to engage learners have not been explored in an urban school district in a Southern state. Grounded in a conceptual framework that incorporates Kleinfeld’s concept of warm demander pedagogy with Goleman’s emotional intelligence theory, the purpose of this qu…

Instructional coaching is a strategy designed to support systematic changes in instructional practices and improve student achievement. In the study site district, teachers were required to use instructional coaching as a mandated form of pedagogical support for enhancing teaching practices and improving student achievement. However, prior to this study, 48% of teachers did not seek support from …

In the last article we proposed Accumulated Agoge, our unique numbers in Quantum Pedagogy. Although a cornerstone concept on its own, it is by no means enough in order to explain the phenomenon of behavior. In this article we expand the concept of Agoge, by redefining it in this new model. Agoge is a force that creates constant change, a field force that expands in all space and time. The term ‘f…

Employment competitiveness is widely regarded as a key indicator of higher education effectiveness, particularly in application-oriented universities where graduate employability affects institutional reputation and social recognition. Grounded in Situated Cognition Theory, Synergy Theory, Self-Determination Theory, and Human Capital Theory, this study develops an integrated framework to examine …

The present study investigated the role of a Higher-Order Adjunct Question Package (HAQP) in supporting learners’ germane cognitive load (GCL) within digital learning environments, using two complementary indicators: a self-reported measure of germane cognitive load and knowledge-transfer performance. A total of 126 Mathematics and English teachers participated in the study and were randomly assi…

IntroductionThis study examines the role of interactivity in virtual learning environments (VLEs), focusing on the integration of synchronous and asynchronous modalities in shaping educational presence.MethodsA mixed-methods design was applied, combining survey data, observational analysis, and interaction records from a Moodle-based course with 115 undergraduate Communication students. Variables…

This study explores the development and management of campus learning spaces at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), focusing on the experiences and perspectives of the technical administrative staff at the Education Division's Unit for Learning Environment and Scheduling.

This study examines whether active learning activities based on time series forecasting for engineering students yield statistically significant improvements with respect to performance and engagement. In this context, a pair of team-based learning activities were implemented across two consecutive academic years in a STEM-related course. In the first one, students completed two activities involv…

With the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries, there is a growing need to transform traditional teaching methods into more innovative, technology-driven, and practice-oriented approaches. Project-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as an effective pedagogy that promotes active learning, connects theoretical concepts to real-world applications, and enhances critica…

University physical education (PE) is increasingly expected to foster physical literacy by integrating movement competence with cognitive understanding and intrinsic motivation. However, rigorous evidence regarding the effectiveness of interdisciplinary approaches, such as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), remains limited in higher education settings. This study des…

Consolidating extensive pedagogical knowledge is essential in preservice teacher education as a foundation for developing future professional competences. While mobile learning has emerged as a promising approach for supporting the acquisition of foundational knowledge, empirical research investigating the relationship between app usage and academic test performance and identifying the predictors…
