In this study, empirical research was conducted in the field of civic and moral education using a real problem-oriented learning methodology. The effectiveness of the methodology in enhancing students' civic awareness and moral behavior was assessed through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The study combined quantitative and qualitative…

We redesigned our undergraduate laboratories to create a structured sequence that continuously improves the learning experience of students. We utilized a PBL and PjBL approach in which students are progressively introduced to ill-structured open-ended problems, the development of projects, and the creation of research products. We dynamically…

The 21st century demands that geography students think critically about orientation processes and analyze problems from a spatial perspective. This experiment presents data on how much influence the SPBL model has on critical thinking students of geography. The learning procedure carried out by students is oriented towards spatial problems, then…

This study investigates prospective secondary school mathematics teachers' developing conceptions about the meaning of derivative (as rate of change) while working on a series of tasks involving different non-motion real-life contexts. The study was conducted by employing a case study method. The participants of the study were 25 prospective…

For three weeks each June, the authors' PDS hosts a summer program called the Academy for Future Teachers (AFT), serving high school students interested in a teaching career. Partners across the PDS convene to support high-school AFT participants, including master teachers (P-12 teachers from local school districts and university faculty) and PDS…

Though teacher education has long been considered a "weak intervention" (Richardson, 1996), inquiry into the effects of stronger, sustained models of preparation have been lacking, particularly in literacy education. In this longitudinal study, we traced a set of novice teacher candidates from their initial training in inquiry-based…

Growing financial concerns among college students and on college campuses suggests urgency in teaching personal finance more effectively. Active learning approaches to teaching, including the use of case studies, problem-based learning, group work, in-class writing, demonstrations, and so forth, may be more appropriate and useful when used to…

A major area of concern in academia is that of student retention at the university, college, and departmental levels. As academics, there is a considerable amount that we can do to improve student retention, and reduce the attrition rates in our departments. One way to solve this is to take an innovative approach in the classroom to enhance the…

In this article, we demonstrate ways in which teachers, working within the context of rapidly changing demographics in our country, can create inclusive classroom environments that promote the development of engineering literacies and identities, particularly among bilingual students. We draw on our experience working with two projects funded by…
