In a world in need of profound change, the importance of transformative education is increasingly recognized. However, barriers abound in our Higher Education Institutions, including that educators often have little notion of how to make their teaching more transformative in practice. This paper builds on our experience of developing a transformative learning intervention in the context of our sustainability education at Utrecht University. For this project, we designed a learning cycle consisting of seven steps, summarized as excavate, absorb, experience, observe, deepen, exchange, and consolidate. We tested this seven-step learning journey in two Bachelor courses, using qualitative student evaluations (n = 305), and then substantiated it by drawing on the learning sciences literature. We conclude this cycle can help educators structure their teaching; include reflective, experiential, and interactive learning methodologies; and invite learners to systematically reflect on their change in meaning making, thereby supporting (transformative) education design in different contexts.

The BSCS 5E Instructional Model, an elaboration of the well-known and accepted three-part learning cycle, is a five-part approach to incorporating inquiry-based, active learning in the classroom. Developed in 1987 by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, "the 5Es" is a popular K-20 instructional practice, and as such, the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study has advocated for the empirical study of its effectiveness. We present a systematic review of English-language peer-reviewed publications of empirical studies of the 5Es for K-20 mathematics and science teaching and learning. We report our search process and analyses, revealing the characteristics of the literature found that specifically question the effectiveness of the 5Es: 45 articles have been published, beginning in 2006, in 33 journals. Of those with scores available, the average SCImago Journal & Country Rank was 0.587, and the average Impact Factor was 1.151 for year of publication. From our synthesis, we find that the 5Es are more impactful than traditional instruction, yet comparisons of the 5Es to the original learning cycle predecessor have not been done, and the 5Es are not necessarily more effective than other inquiry methods. While dosage does not seem to matter in the studies in our corpus, the 5Es are particularly studied and found to be positively impactful in secondary biology contexts. The relatively few studies with teachers and students in mathematics contribute to both a nuanced understanding of some limitations of the rest of the data corpus and are areas for future research.

Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to map the maturity of precision oncology as an example of a Learning Health System by understanding the current state of practice, tools and informatics, and barriers and facilitators of maturity. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 34 professionals (e.g., clinicians, pathologists, and program managers) involved in Molecular Tumor Boards (MTBs). Interviewees were recruited through outreach at 3 large academic medical centers (AMCs) (n = 16) and a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) company (n = 18). Interviewees were asked about their roles and relationships with MTBs, processes and tools used, and institutional practices. The interviews were then coded and analyzed to understand the variation in maturity across the evolving field of precision oncology. Results: The findings provide insight into the present level of maturity in the precision oncology field, including the state of tooling and informatics within the same domain, the effects of the critical environment on overall maturity, and prospective approaches to enhance maturity of the field. We found that maturity is relatively low, but continuing to evolve, across these dimensions due to the resource-intensive and complex sociotechnical infrastructure required to advance maturity of the field and to fully close learning loops. Conclusion: Our findings advance the field by defining and contextualizing the current state of maturity and potential future strategies for advancing precision oncology, providing a framework to examine how learning health systems mature, and furthering the development of maturity models with new evidence.

The 5E instructional framework is a pedagogical approach that consists of five distinct phases, namely engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation, which together form a comprehensive learning cycle. Each stage denotes a crucial instructional process. The objective of the model is to facilitate the development of a robust knowledge base among students through their active engagement. This paper provides an overview of the historical development of the 5E Model and evaluates its application in the context of Chinese elementary education. The aim is to offer valuable insights into this educational strategy for teachers in the Chinese basic education system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Clinical trials generate key evidence to inform decision making, and also benefit participants directly. However, clinical trials frequently fail, often struggle to enroll participants, and are expensive. Part of the problem with trial conduct may be the disconnected nature of clinical trials, preventing rapid data sharing, generation of insights and targeted improvement interventions, and identification of knowledge gaps. In other areas of healthcare, a learning health system (LHS) has been proposed as a model to facilitate continuous learning and improvement. We propose that an LHS approach could greatly benefit clinical trials, allowing for continuous improvements to trial conduct and efficiency. A robust trial data sharing system, continuous analysis of trial enrollment and other success metrics, and development of targeted trial improvement interventions are potentially key components of a Trials LHS reflecting the learning cycle and allowing for continuous trial improvement. Through the development and use of a Trials LHS, clinical trials could be treated as a system, producing benefits to patients, advancing care, and decreasing costs for stakeholders.

Worksheets are often used during field trips and utilize a learning cycle with three stages (exploration, concept introduction and concept application) to engage learners in the learning activities of observation and exploration. However, traditional paper worksheets do not provide multimedia and interactive presentations with physical objects, which made learners losing interaction with the physical context during field trips and failing to implement all the stages completely. This study designed an augmented reality worksheet with a three-stage learning cycle and applied it to learning about plants, specifically assisting learners in observing and classifying plants. A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used to show the effect of learning when learners used augmented reality worksheets. Lag sequence analysis was used to identify learning behavioral patterns. The findings indicate that the learning effect of using augmented reality worksheets is much better than that of paper worksheets and improves the learners' interaction with plants.

The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative analysis, and the data collection technique used is the method of observation and interviews. The local wisdom that exists at MI Nurur Rahmah is part of the habits that are believed and obeyed by students and teachers at MI Nururrahmah, which are religious habits or practices that occur every day, such as congregational prayers, dhuha prayers, and reading the Qur'an. before the KBM starts. As a source of learning and the cultivation of local wisdom character values that can be instilled in students' personalities,Based on the results of research and discussion on inculcating students' religious character, the management of the learning cycle based on local wisdom applied by MI teacher Nurur Rahmah aims to make students better understand the meaning of piety in religious rituals, so that the religious values contained therein can be instilled in students with the hope of becoming their religious character later by instilling the religious character of students through habituation in the institution.

The Erasmus+ project, entitled 'Digital Erasmus – a roadmap to using building performance simulation to achieve resilient design' (DesRes), seeks to transform the learning experience of students in built environment disciplines using a continuous digital learning cycle. Three universities play a part in this project: Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and the University of Strathclyde (UoS), each developing and delivering a module to complete the learning experience in building simulation. This paper describes the aims and learning objectives associated with the workshops taught at TU Graz as part of the module dedicated to energy monitoring. These workshops tackle the complexity of working with large data sets, which commonly arise from energy monitoring research. In particular, the workshops aim to provide a practical understanding of how to identify, handle, reshape, clean up and evaluate important summary statistics from incomplete data sets. These are fundamental skills in building simulation where model validation and calibration are increasingly commonplace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Learning tools are declared practical with a practicality score where the teacher's response is 80.31% in the practical category, and the student's response is 79.19% in the practical category. Furthermore, teaching tools were declared effective with the criteria; the classical average of student learning outcomes reached 83.71, the Learning Completeness Criteria reached 82.14%, the level of teacher learning management was at a Good level, and student activity reached 72.5%.

With this study we sought to investigate the effectiveness of assessment of learners with dyslexia in mainstream primary schools in the Bubi district of Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe. An exploratory case study design of the qualitative approach was adopted. Semi-structured individual interviews and focus group interviews (FGI) were used to collect data from heads of schools and teachers selected for the study. Gathered data were analysed and interpreted thematically. The major findings of the study were that no standardised instruments existed to assess learners with dyslexia in the infant category, the test used for those in the junior school category was not effective enough and most teachers had limited knowledge of dyslexia. We recommend the development of a variety of culturally sensitive assessment tools for infants as well as the junior school category. We also recommend that early diagnosis for early intervention and continuous professional development of teachers to keep abreast of the current trends in the education of learners with dyslexia be implemented.

This study aims to determine the influence of the Learning Cycle 7E model with pocketbook assistance on the critical thinking skills of class X learners. This type of research uses quasi-experimental methods (pseudo experiments) with untreated control group research design with pre-test and post-test design. The population in this study is all X-class learners. Sampling was done with purposive sampling techniques and obtained class X-MIA 3 as the experimental class and X-MIA 5 as the control class. Experimental classes are treated in the form of a 7E learning cycle model assisted by pocket books, while conventional learning control classes. The instrument used is in the form of a description test with as many as 8 questions that have been tested for validity, reliability, and different power and difficulty levels. The research hypothesis was tested using a t-test polled variant. Data analysis shows which is 7,940 > 1,678 which means Ho was rejected and Ha accepted, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of the pocketbook-assisted learning cycle 7E model on the critical thinking skills of students.

While scientific publications often mention uncertainties or mistakes associated with a scientific conclusion due to technical limitations, they very rarely note even the slightest possibility of a man-made error in connection with a research program. However, such human mistakes are ubiquitous in science, and usually come from what we call "mental traps" or a lack of professional experience. In this article, we outline a simple model of the complex learning process through which the professional expertise of a scientist evolves. Key elements of this development are the "mental leaps", the moments when one redefines one's approach to new problems. In this rather unusual paper, we report on resolving three intriguing NMR-based structure-elucidation problems involving this learning process by an NMR spectroscopist employed in an industrial R&D & QC environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges for the education and training sector. We could have witnessed the rise of technology for webinars which are tools to deliver training and education through video and audio communication in the form of distance learning for instructors and participants. However, commercial webinars such as zoom or webex may lack a management system for organizing the amount of participants for long term courses. The present study aimed to develop a webinar tool for the context of adult training for entrepreneurs of SMEs in Thailand. In order to develop a webinar tool, we proposed a general framework which consisted of three stages. The requirement stage aimed to explore the baseline survey from 411 participants and summarize the feature list of the webinar. The development stage employed the kanban methodology to develop each feature list and proposed the architecture of the system. Finally, the evaluation stage compares two groups of 110 participants between our webinar approach and zoom application with statistics of attendance regarding those who attended the course and also contains a satisfaction survey. The results show that the important feature to engage participants in long term courses were system notifications and the availability of a web-based platform for providing easy access to webinar.

Over the past several decades, empirical support for inquiry-based forms of science teaching has accumulated. Critical voices, however, also exist, claiming that minimally guided teaching approaches might be less effective than guided forms; they might even be harmful, particularly for novice students, due to the production of cognitive overload. In this study, a more guided type of inquiry-based forms of instruction was therefore selected, which can be traced back to Alfred N. Whitehead: the so-called learning cycle approach. This approach was applied to science classes with 280 socioeconomically disadvantaged students in lower secondary education at low-track schools in Austria. Using a pre-test post-test experimental-control group design, this study investigated the effects of this instructional approach not only concerning students' cognitive development but also concerning their state and trait emotions, their behavioral engagement in class, and their academic self-concept. The results indicated that the application of the learning cycle approach had a positive impact on most of the measured students' trait emotions and state emotions during the romance and generalization phases of a full learning cycle. It further improved the students' behavioral engagement during lessons and strengthened their academic self-concept. Finally, it was found that the learning cycle approach positively affected the students' cognitive development after the 2-year treatment. Suggestions for improving the implementation of this teaching approach in science classes are given; some proposals for optimizing future research on learning cycle teaching are also made.

This paper is about using a 'Two-Eyed Seeing' approach as the process of co-learning for incorporating elements of indigenous knowledge into school science teaching. Two groups of 150 Form 3 integrated science learners drawn from six high schools in Mutare, Zimbabwe, comprised the study sample. One group of learners, the control group, was taught the concepts of forces in structures in the traditional way. The other, the experimental group, was prepared using a context-based Two-Eyed Seeing framework. A mixed-method but primarily quantitative research approach involving a pre-test–post-test control group quasi-experimental design was used to investigate the achievement differences between the two groups of learners. A content knowledge test (CKT) and a paper-and-pencil theory of practical skills test (PST) were administered to the two groups prior to and following instruction. The analysis showed that the experimental group produced significantly better results than the group following the traditional approach (CKT, F = 131.593, p < 0.0001; PST, F = 116.350, p < 0.0001). Focus group interviews indicated that achievement differences were strongly linked to the pairing of indigenous knowledge and technology as relevant pedagogical contexts with the school science content knowledge, which resulted in intrinsic motivation for meaningful learning. The qualitative data complemented the quantitative data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper traces the implementation of a pedagogical framework in a low-cost private school in Karachi designed to put students' engagement with the world at the center of the learning process. The need for such a framework arose as a response to the realization that education system in Pakistan is lagging behind in preparing children of a post-information future. Through classroom observations, formal and informal interviews, and assessment of lesson plans conducted over the period of a year, the study investigated whether a learning cycle based on experiential learning could enhance student engagement in the learning process and help them develop the skills necessary to navigate an increasingly uncertain future. The observations before and after the training revealed significant impact on such variables as divergent thinking, the ability to ask open-ended questions, and willingness to probe concepts deeper as opposed to passive learning.
