The Educational theories are fundamental in developing effective teaching methods and strategies. They serve as a guide for educators to understand various aspects of the teaching-learning process, including student motivation, cognitive development, and social interactions. Key educational theories offer unique perspectives on how education should be conducted. Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development emphasizes that children undergo four distinct stages of cognitive growth, each with unique characteristics and abilities. This theory significantly influences curriculum design and teaching methods appropriate for different cognitive levels. Albert Bandura's social learning theory highlights the importance of observation and imitation in learning. He argues that people learn many behaviors by observing others and the consequences of those behaviors, underscoring the role of social environments and peer interactions in education. Constructivism, popularized by Lev Vygotsky and Piaget, posits that learners actively construct their knowledge through interaction with their environment. This approach stresses the importance of hands-on experiences and contextual learning in developing student understanding. B.F. Skinner's behaviorism theory focuses on the role of reinforcement and punishment in shaping student behavior. According to this theory, behavior can be systematically shaped and controlled through positive and negative reinforcement. These theories, along with others such as humanism and cognitive theory, provide valuable frameworks for educators to design and implement effective teaching strategies. Understanding and applying various educational theories can create a better learning environment that supports students' holistic development.

Relationship between the cognitive load and the learning success in applying force diagrams: eye-tracking study

IntroductionThis paper is concerned with investigating the cognitive demands of solving force diagram tasks in different scenarios, specifically in the wind context.MethodsIn this study, students were trained using worked examples and then completed tasks in two different scenarios while their eye movements were monitored with eye-tracking technology. After completing the tasks, cognitive load was assessed to evaluate the impact of task complexity on cognitive processing. Eye-tracking metrics were analyzed in detail to identify gaze strategies, differences and similarities.ResultsIt was found that a three-force scenario (surface wind formation) induced a higher intrinsic cognitive load than a two-force scenario, which is not only theoretically justified by cognitive load theory, but also confirmed by eye-tracking metrics. Although correlation analyses show no significant relationship between the ability to mentally rotate and learning success, the role of mental rotation in problem solving is highlighted by eye-tracking data.DiscussionOur results contribute to a better understanding of the learning and problem-solving mechanisms involved in wind direction determination and offer possible implications for the design of more effective teaching and learning methods in this area.

Teaching the Labor Theory of Value in China: Addressing Challenges with Effective Methods

This article explores effective teaching methods for the labor theory of value in Chinese economic education, with a focus on addressing students’ negative perceptions of Marxist economics. While Marxist economics remains one of the most widely taught heterodox approaches in Chinese universities, its prevalent treatment as ideological-political education has led to students’ stereotypical perceptions of the subject. To address this issue, the teaching design prioritizes the concept of surplus and uses the video game “Don’t Starve” as a scenario to illustrate the distribution of total social labor under various production relations. This approach highlights the social dimensions of the labor theory of value, enhancing engagement, and rectifying stereotypical misconceptions. Pre-course and post-course surveys indicate that these methods improve students’ understanding and critical thinking regarding the labor theory of value. JEL Classification: A22, B51

IMPLEMENTASI KREATIVITAS SISWA/I DALAM EDUKASI PENGETAHUAN DASAR PRO-AKTIF ANAK IMIGRAN INDONESIA DI MALAYSIA

The decline in the interest of Indonesian students in learning can threaten the quality of education and human resources that have an important role in the future of the nation. Basic knowledge about civic and cultural education, which should be an important understanding for students, is not in line with expectations, especially for Indonesian students who are abroad. This is exacerbated by the negative effects of unsupervised use of gadgets, which makes students more interested in outside cultures and reluctant to learn about local cultures. In addition, the lack of competence of educators and unattractive learning methods also contribute to the low enthusiasm of students. To overcome this problem, we carry out a learning program by involving students' creativity in proactive basic knowledge education for Indonesian immigrant children at At-Tanzil Fostered School, Malaysia. This program involves 20 Kindergarten students and 7 students in grades 1-2 of Elementary School, and will be held on October 2, 2024 with the Youth.id Team. This program uses a learning approach that provides a space for creativity for students to actively participate in learning, which includes hygiene materials, mathematics, and cultural introduction. This approach is expected to increase students' interest in learning and contribute to the development of more effective and inclusive educational methods.

Unveiling the ultimate advantage: a meta-analysis of 3D visualization and problem-based learning in orthopedic education

BackgroundThree-dimensional (3D) visualization has become increasingly prevalent in orthopedic education to tackle the distinct anatomical challenges of the field. However, there is a conspicuous lack of systematic reviews that thoroughly evaluate both the advantages and drawbacks of integrating 3D with problem-based learning (3D + PBL).MethodsA rigorous search of English databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) and Chinese databases (National Knowledge Infrastructure: CNKI, Chongqing VIP: VIP, and Wan Fang) were performed up to July 2024 to identify relevant studies. Relevant studies were selected based on established eligibility criteria, with clinical data carefully extracted for analysis. Eighteen randomized controlled trials involving a total of 1,077 participants were included in the analysis.ResultsThe findings indicated that 3D + PBL instruction significantly outperformed traditional lecture-based learning (LBL) in terms of theoretical knowledge (SMD = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.14–2.10, P < 0.00001) and practical operational scores (SMD = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.41–3.16, P < 0.00001). Furthermore, students exposed to 3D + PBL teaching exhibited a significantly better understanding of orthopedic anatomical structures compared to those receiving LBL (SMD = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.71–1.65, P < 0.00001). Additionally, students in the 3D + PBL group achieved higher theoretical grades (OR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.57–5.55, P = 0.0008) and reported greater overall satisfaction (OR = 3.26, 95% CI: 1.91–5.54, P < 0.0001) compared to their LBL counterparts.ConclusionGiven the unique demands of orthopedic education, 3D + PBL emerges as a highly effective teaching method. It not only improves students' theoretical scores but also enhances their communication skills and comprehension of complex concepts. Furthermore, students exhibit greater satisfaction with this approach.
