Purpose: This conceptual paper aims to interrogate the current epistemological and cross-cultural approaches used to conceptualize climate change (CC) education, to critically point out ineffective approaches and false assumptions, and to propose practical suggestions that may support the development of a defensible and well-argued CC curriculum.…

Entrepreneurial STEM, an interdisciplinary approach blending STEM and entrepreneurship education, has become a new trend for cross-subject collaboration that aims to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in students, enabling them to apply their STEM knowledge across various contexts. In this study, we investigate the challenges and corresponding…

Research universities are increasingly incorporating interdisciplinary education into their strategies. In this transition from monodisciplinary to interdisciplinary education, there is a need for insight into the optimal implementation of such activities. The current study investigates university lecturers' interpretations of interdisciplinary…

The development and introduction of AI language models have transformed the way humans and institutions interact with technology, enabling natural and intuitive communication between humans and machines. This paper conducts a competence-based analysis of ChatGPT's task responses to provide insights into its language proficiency, critical analysis…

There is a growing emphasis on integrating school subjects and cross disciplinary boundaries to address local and global challenges, particularly when teaching about complex and sensitive issues such as disasters. This study explores how the integration of science and history can facilitate learning about disasters through a cross-curricular…

Aim/Purpose: This study explored the limited research on the challenges and opportunities faced by students when creating function art using GeoGebra, addressing a gap in the literature that focuses on student outputs and engagement. It addressed the need to understand how students engage with function art and the difficulties they encounter in…

While there has been ample discussion regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s contributions and challenges on the development agenda at the policy level, little is known about how students translate the potential and barriers of AI in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing upon various qualitative data, including class…

We describe findings from a study based upon a collaborative project carried out online as the end of module assessment activity of a multidisciplinary science module at the UK Open University. Our aim was to determine how well students dealt with working in a team of unfamiliar multidisciplinary scientists and to identify tools and processes that…

There is increasing interest in the use of artificial intelligence technologies, which have become a transformative force in the field of education, in educational fields that include subject areas that support lifelong learning, such as science and chemistry education. In this study, a systematic review was conducted on the use and effects of…

Background and Context: Although computing is a highly sought-after skill set in our modern economy, certain individuals are under represented in computer science (CS) courses and careers. The integration of visual and performing arts in K-12 CS education has been gaining "STEAM" as a viable strategy for making computing more inclusive.…

This study examines how teacher agency is being reconceptualized within emerging educational practitioner networks in Thailand, particularly the Kor Karn Kru community of practice. Through qualitative research involving 20 participants, including in-depth interviews, field observations, and focus group discussions, the study explores how new forms…

This study posits mathematics as a fundamental methodological framework for navigating the complexities of multidisciplinary research. It argues that the increasing prevalence of real-world problems demands the integration of knowledge from diverse scientific fields, where mathematics, particularly through the method of analysis and synthesis,…

Research to date has pointed out that during periods of curriculum reform, public debate gets politicised resulting in an over-emphasis on top-down approaches to curriculum making. As a group of curriculum inquiry researchers, we are concerned that teachers, students, school leaders and community organisations are often side-lined as integral…

There is a growing body of research arguing that, alongside education in climate science literacy, our education systems need a deeper, broader, and more interdisciplinary education in climate literacy. Specifically, the push is to reframe climate literacy from a narrow competence taught in science classes to a broad socioscientific and cultural…
