Introduction There is no single overarching theoretical framework that accounts for how we learn in all situations. There are many theories of how we learn from our experiences and there are many theories of what experiences are. We know that we do learn and that we have knowledge but there is no consensus on the…

Teaching mathematics and improving mathematics competence are pending subjects within our educational system. The PEIM (Programa Evolutivo Instruccional para Matemáticas), a constructivist intervention program for the improvement of mathematical performance, affects the different agents involved in math learning…

'Ashraf Atta Mohamed Safein Salem'] The education system in Ghana is undergoing a transition from a behaviorist instructional philosophy to a constructivist one, aiming to produce learners who can actively contribute to nation-building. Nonetheless, given the heavy demands on teachers regarding this abrupt shift into…

Teachers’ approaches and beliefs are key determinants of teachers’ practice. This study was designed to examine whether two aspects of Irish primary teacher beliefs are associated, their views on constructivist practices and their views on two ethical dimensions (idealism and relativism). The views of a sample of 35…

In this article we introduce a synthesis of education “paradigms,” adapted from a multi-disciplinary body of literature and tailored to health professions education (HPE). Each paradigm involves a particular perspective on the purpose of education, the nature of knowledge, what knowledge is valued and included in the…

Reform movements in science education, such as inquiry-based instruction, have been heavily influenced by constructivist learning theories (National Research Council, 2000). These learning theories place the learner as the sole constructor of knowledge and emphasize the importance of the learner's inquiry process…

The Ehlers-Pirani-Schild (EPS) constructive axiomatisation of general relativity, published in 1972, purports to build up the kinematical structure of that theory from only axioms which have indubitable empirical content. It is, therefore, of profound significance both to the epistemology and to the metaphysics of…

This paper traces the importance of pedagogical content knowledge in the digital age to prepare today's students for the 21st century. It highlights the need for ICT-based pedagogical models that are grounded in both the learning theories of constructivism and connectivism. One such suitable ICT-based pedagogical model…

Collaborative learning is an educational approach that involves two or more people who learn while working together on a joint task in order to achieve a common goal (for example, to solve a problem or to design a product) (Dillenbourg, 1999a). Collaborative learning builds on the idea that learning is a social…

As technology advances, conceptualizations of effective strategies for teaching and learning shift. Due in part to their facilitation of unique affordances for learning, mobile devices, augmented reality, and games are all becoming more prominent elements in learning environments. In this work, we examine mobile…

We updated a recent meta-analysis of active learning’s impact on student achievement in undergraduate STEM courses by following the same protocol to evaluate studies published from 2010-2017. We screened 1659 papers, coded 1294, and found 210 that met five pre-established inclusion criteria and six pre-established…

Active learning, including student thinking and discussion in class, has been shown to increase student learning gains. However, it is less clear how variations in how instructors implement active learning affect student gains. Our study aims to investigate the extent to which the time spent on individual episodes of…

This paper aims to contribute to the attempts to clarify and classify the vague notion of “technosciences” from a historical perspective. A key question that is raised is as follows: Does Francis Bacon, one of the founding fathers of the modern age, provide a hitherto largely undiscovered programmatic position, which…

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programming and literature for historically underrepresented and marginalized students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics degree programs often focuses on illuminating the challenges they face. The repeated emphasis on negative experiences creates a…

The study explored the direct and indirect relationship between students’ attitude towards, and performance in mathematics word problems (MWTs), mediated by the active learning heuristic problem solving (ALHPS) approach. Specifically, this study investigated the correlation between students’ performance and their…

As the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) is expanding in the educational field, presenting significant implications for STEM disciplines, it is bringing opportunities to enhance how chemistry and chemical engineering are taught and learned. This perspective critically explores the…

Myriad studies support the claim that active learning improves student academic performance in STEM, yet lecture remains the dominant form of instruction. Faculty offer multiple reasons for not using active learning with many expressing confusion as to what active learning is. Contributing to that confusion is the fact…

The teaching-learning process in traditional university education uses strategies that position the student as a recipient of information conveyed by the teacher and conceptualized as knowledge. The reality in which we live, including the characteristics of new generational groups, requires the generation of training…

This study examined factors influencing student confidence and their perception of learning in the context of undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry courses. Anonymous online surveys were used to measure the extent to which small group work influenced student confidence in solving problems compared to working…

In philosophy and science, a first principle is a basic proposition or assumption that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. Ancient Greek philosophy Aristotle defined the first principle as “the first basis from which a thing is known.” First principles thinking (or reasoning from first…
