Such an approach is especially advantageous to adult-learners in higher education as it meets their educational needs. However, adult-learners’ participation in …

This systematic review focused on synthesizing information on studies that evaluated influential and constitutional factors that characterize (elements of) a learning environment for developing Information Problem Solving (IPS) in Higher Education students. Specifically, the goal was to create a comprehensive …

Peer discussions play a major role in students’ collaborative problem-solving activity. These discussions provide researchers and teachers with a wealth of information about the students' reasoning. To analyse such discussions, different theoretical lenses are available, such as Schoenfeld’s problem …

While feedback is frequently emphasized as a crucial principle of presentation courses in higher education, previous studies revealed that teachers outperform peers in terms of impact on students’ development of oral presentation competence. Further, presentation research showed that the lack of quality …

Presenting is considered as a core skill for the higher-educated professional (De Grez, 2009). However, many graduated students often fail to show effective presentation behaviors (Chan, 2011) and suffer from presentation anxiety Smith & Sodano, 2011).
