In recent years, game-based learning has been increasing in popularity as a tool for providing students with experiential learning opportunities. Although there have been a few implementations at the graduate level, there is still the need for a greater number of studies documenting the effectiveness of game-based practices in graduate-level environments. In our study, we developed and implemented...
The study is based on a “Lesson Study” project in China. It is aimed to reveal the development of teachers' reflection ability from two aspect, reflective level and reflection content. 120 reflection journals are collected from 40 teachers in primary and middle schools and analyzed by Content Analysis Method. The results are as follows: First, teachers' reflective levels improved significantly from...
Former literature reviews or research syntheses on digital game-based learning have provided important results, but little is known about the use of digital games in specific learning domains, with language education being one fertile area for additional research. While the use of digital games for educational purposes varies in different contexts, understanding the emerging trends of how digital...
Collaborative programming is an important pedagogical tool in computer science higher education. In this context, Pair Programming has been established as an effective practice for teaching programming. In addition, Coding Dojo has recently emerged as a collaborative group practice that uses Pair Programming as a mechanism to allow everyone to participate. However, both Pair Programming and Coding...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using procedural scaffoldings to enhance group discourse levels in a paper-plus-smart phone learning context. Sixty undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at a four-year university in southern Taiwan participated in this experimental study. All participants used built-in camera smart phones to learn new knowledge by scanning QR codes...
Digital logic instructors have created a myriad of new, innovative teaching methods. Comparing the effectiveness of these methods is elusive because of differences in topic coverage and assessment content. We have created a standardized assessment tool to provide a means to directly compare student conceptual learning in different digital logic design courses - the Digital Logic Concept Inventory...
Concordancing is a technique which analyzes text corpora to show how any given word or phrase in the text is used in the immediate contexts in which it appears. The main focus of this technique consist in discovering patterns and rules of authentic language use through analysis of actual usage, and generating theories of what does not account for the probable choices that speakers actually make. In...
This interpretive study explored tacit knowledge in Malaysian academia. Academicians are important assets in institutions of higher learning; therefore it is critical to understand tacit knowledge which resides in them. The lack of understanding of tacit knowledge impedes the efforts of managing it as a source of competitive advantage. The research employs the grounded theory approach and data are...
This study examined technology use in Computer Support for Collaborative Learning (CSCL). A content meta-analysis of empirical CSCL research was carried out to address three research questions: (1) What kinds of technologies are being used in CSCL research, (2) What kinds of collaboration are supported, and (3) What are the contexts of technology supports (e.g., learning domains, educational levels,...
This paper addresses the extent to which, and the ways in which, engineering educators take student differences into account when making teaching-related decisions. We have found that educators deal with multiple types of student differences, although rarely in the way research recommends (e.g., focusing on learning styles). More often, educators differentiate students in terms of class standing,...
This study examined the process and characteristics of career development among elite Chinese coaches and constructed a grounded theory on the factors that contributing to the development of a successful career in the Chinese context. In the current study, there was a series of semi-structured interviews conducted with seventeen elite Chinese coaches of a variety of sports. The data analysis was conducted...
