This study concerns the use of e-learning in the mathematics education system, shedding the light on its advantages and disadvantages, analyzing its applicability either partially or totally, and discussing the ways of improvement. From…
Computer-based testing is an expanding use of technology offering advantages to teachers and students. We studied Calculus II classes for STEM majors using different testing modes. Three sections with 324 students employed: Paper-and-pencil…
There have been several modifications of how basic calculus has been taught, but very few of these modifications have considered the computational tools available at our disposal. Here, we present a few tools that are easy to develop and…
This article describes the authors' teaching experience in flipping the class of a basic undergraduate mathematics course Introductory Linear Algebra. We utilize a full-featured free electronic textbook, online lecture notes, an intranet…
If students have a broad spectrum of study skills, learning will likely be positively affected, since they can adapt the way they learn in different situations. Such study skills can be learned in for example learning-to-learn courses.…
Active learning is a proven pedagogical style that has demonstrated value by improving students' performance and classroom experience. In spite of the evidence, adoption of active learning in computer science remains relatively low. To…
The proposed paper presents a literature review regarding the status of integrating the dynamic blockchain technology in the educational field. Blockchain is a relatively new technology and the same is its implementation in education. The…
These few pages briefly present the way in which Activity Theory has been adopted for several years now by French researchers in didactics of mathematics and has been adapted to study the learning of school mathematics in relation with the…
Active learning strategies have been widely recognised for their effectiveness in tertiary education, yet their implementation at scale, particularly in large first-year mathematics courses, presents considerable challenges. A common method…
High school science classrooms across the United States are answering calls to make computation a part of science learning. The problem is that there is little known about the barriers to learning that computation might bring to a science…
There are compelling reasons to shift our pedagogy toward evidence-based active learning methods that substantially improve student success, and now plenty of resources to aid in that shift. These include the recent CBMS Statement on Active…
Teaching Robotics is about empowering students to create and configure robotics devices and program computers to nurture in students the skill sets necessary to play an active role in society. The robot in Figure 1 focuses on the design of…
University students taking introductory physics are generally successful executing mathematical procedures in context, but often struggle with the use of mathematical concepts for sense making. Physics instructors note that their students…
This article explores the parallels between improvisational theater (Improv) and teaching in an Active Learning environment. It presents the notions of Active Teaching as a natural complement to Active Learning, and discusses how unexpected…
The primary objective is to emphasize the merits of active methodologies and cross-disciplinary curricula in Requirement Engineering. This direction promises a holistic and applied trajectory for Computer Engineering education, supported by…
This paper analyses the feasibility of including emerging IT-topics into secondary education (K9-12). We developed a class on Blockchain for K9-12 students which delivers relevant content but is also indented to motivate them to further…
Of late, mobile technology has introduced new, novel environment that can be capitalized to further enrich the teaching and learning process in classrooms. Taking cognizance of this promising setting, a study was undertaken to investigate…
Mobile applications and other integration of information and communication technology (ICT) have become well-known in education to monitor teaching and learning activities. The analysis of student learning through evaluation is a growing…
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is widely used to enhance teaching and learning in modern education. However, it is still difficult in some countries to exploit the full potential of ICT in this regard due to various…
The gap between theory and practice in mathematics education, particularly in primary-teacher education, necessitates innovative teaching methodologies. This paper explores the implementation of academic portfolios as a teaching innovation…
