Learning in humans is highly embedded in social interaction: since the very early stages of our lives, we form memories and acquire knowledge about the world from and with others. Yet, within cognitive science and neuroscience, human learning is mainly studied in isolation. The focus of past research in learning has…

Background Engaging, student-centered active learning activities, such as team-based learning (TBL) and laboratory practices, is beneficial to integrate knowledge, particularly in Medicine degree. Previously, we designed and implemented workstation learning activities (WSLA) inspired by TBL, which proved effective for…

Background IT tools has brought a new perspective to collaborative learning where students do not just sit in a chair and swallow lecture content but instead participate in creating and sharing knowledge. However, calculus learning augmented reality application has limitation in promoting a human collaboration in…

Language Models Authors: ['Aum Kendapadi' 'Kerem Zaman' 'Rakesh R. Menon' 'Shashank Srivastava'] Large language models (LLMs) excel at answering questions but remain passive learners—absorbing static data without the ability to question and refine knowledge. This paper explores how LLMs can transition to interactive…

'Mohmed Isaqali Karobari' 'Lakshmi Thangavelu' 'Anand Marya' 'Pietro Messina' 'Giuseppe Alessandro Scardina' 'Paul B. Tchounwou' 'Kelvin Afrashtehfar'] In recent years, the educational system has focused more on the holistic development of an individual. Modern technology has changed the educational environment to…

The neural mechanisms that support naturalistic learning via effective pedagogical approaches remain elusive. Here we use functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure brain activity from instructor-learner dyads simultaneously during naturalistic conceptual learning. Results show enhanced brain-to-brain coupling…

Studying China's Tang poetry is a crucially integrated part of the language curriculum in primary schools because it is an important part of its cultural heritage and classical literature. However, due to the fact that Tang poetry is written in classical Chinese, which is quite different from modern Chinese Mandarin…

'Michael A Motes'] Although instructional explanations are commonly provided when learners are introduced to new content, they often fail because they are not integrated into effective learning activities. The recently introduced active-constructive-interactive framework posits an effectiveness hierarchy in which…

—Interest-based learning (IBL) is a paradigm of instruction in which educational content is contextualized using learners' interests to enhance content relevance. IBL has been shown to result in improved learning outcomes. Unfortunately, high effort is needed for instructors to design and deliver IBL content for…

Conversational agents are becoming increasingly popular for supporting and facilitating learning. Conventional pedagogical agents are designed to play the role of human teachers by giving instructions to the students. In this paper, we investigate the use of conversational agents to support the 'learningby-teaching'…

Learning biology, and in particular systematics, requires learning a substantial amount of specific vocabulary, both for botanical and zoological studies. While crucial, the precise identification of structures serving as evolutionary traits and systematic criteria is not per se a highly motivating task for students.…

—Conversational teachable agents offer a promising platform to support learning, both in the classroom and in remote settings. In this context, the agent takes the role of the novice, while the student takes on the role of teacher. This framing is significant for its ability to elicit the Protégé effect in the…

'Günter Daniel Rey'] For a long time, research on individuals learning in digital environments was primarily based on cognitive-oriented theories. This paper aims at providing evidence that social processes affect individual learning with digital materials. Based on these theories and empirical results, a…

Computer quiz games are introduced to improve teaching and learning in a freshman engineering chemistry course in an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) environment. These quiz games are developed and implemented as a supplemental and augmentative tool to enhance traditionally delivered lectures. The paper shows an…

The reemergence of virtual reality (VR) in the last few years has led to affordable commodity hardware that can offer new ways to teach, communicate and engage with difficult concepts, especially those which involve complicated 3D motion and spatial manipulation. In a higher education context, these immersive…

'Edith Law'] While learning by teaching is a popular pedagogical technique, it is a learning phenomenon that is difficult to study due to variability in the tutor-tutee pairings and learning environments. In this paper, we introduce the Curiosity Notebook, a web-based research infrastructure for studying learning by…

Active teaching methodologies have been placed as a hope for changing education at different levels, transiting from passive lecture-centered to student-centered learning. With the health measures of social distance, the COVID-19 pandemic forced a strong shift to remote education. With the challenge of delivering…

This paper provides interested beginners with an updated and detailed introduction to the field of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). ITSs are computer programs that use artificial intelligence techniques to enhance and personalize automation in teaching. This paper is a literature review that provides the following…

Laboratory pedagogy is moving away from step-by-step instructions and toward inquiry-based learning (IBL), but only now developing methods for integrating inquiry-based writing (IBW) practices into the laboratory course. Based on an earlier proposal (Science 332:919 (2011)), we designed and implemented an IBW sequence…

In recent years, much of the emphasis for transformation of introductory STEM courses has focused on “active learning”, and while this approach has been shown to produce more equitable outcomes for students, the construct of “active learning” is somewhat ill-defined, and can encompass a wide range of pedagogical…

A de novo molecular design workflow can be used together with technologies such as reinforcement learning to navigate the chemical space. A bottleneck in the workflow that remains to be solved is how to integrate human feedback in the exploration of the chemical space to optimize molecules. A human drug designer still…
