This research aims to explore the experiences of nonphysical education teachers in implementing physical education in the primary grades as a basis for creating feasible capability-building initiatives. Employing a qualitative-descriptive research design, in-depth interviews were conducted with twenty non-physical education generalist teachers…

Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) was introduced over 30 years ago and remains an educational framework used to guide instruction today. Although research has evidenced its utility and positive impact, little is known about available tools to guide practitioners in assessing and monitoring their implementation of CRT practices. This systematic…

Curriculum development is critically important to the educational enterprise, yet we lack insight into if and how ideal design and development practices are enacted in organizations that create curricular programs and resources intended for large-scale implementation. This study identified essential elements of curriculum development practices…

Background: Challenge-based learning (CBL) is a pedagogical approach increasingly adopted in engineering education. Despite its growing practice, there is little consensus in the literature about how CBL is implemented in engineering curricula and what experiences teachers and students have in relation to it. Purpose: To address this gap, the…

Reformed science curricula provide opportunities for students to engage with authentic science practices. However, teacher implementation of such curricula requires teachers to consider their role in the classroom, including realigning instructional decisions with the epistemic aims of science. Guiding newcomers in science can take place in…

Flipped learning (FL) has positive effects on the teaching-learning process. Nevertheless, and given that it is a relatively new methodology, it still raises some misgivings. This work aims to highlight the potential of FL by the analysis of academic results in a subject in higher engineering education and, thus, to contribute to overcome possible…

In this qualitative case study, we implemented an anti-oppressive, social justice curriculum in a school counseling internship course and then explored its impact on participants (N = 3) as school counseling students and full-time school counselors. We identified 11 themes that reflect how the curriculum impacted participants as students and…

Top-down strategies for curriculum internationalization (CI) often neglect discipline-specific preferences in content and teaching methods. This limited understanding of how content is prioritized across disciplines makes relying on a single implementation plan impractical. To supplement the few, almost exclusively qualitative, studies on this…

Over the past 20 years, "transnational knowledge circulation" has become a powerful theoretical construct for use by historians of education seeking to identify, characterise, and account for the nature of ideas and practices operating in one constituency that had their origins elsewhere. Research of this nature is very limited in…

Many countries have looked at schools as spaces that can impart requisite skills for future jobs through competency-based education (CBE). Yet, there is limited comparative research evidence showing countries' implementation progress. The research design adopted for this study is a meta-narrative. Stufflebeam's (2000) context, input, process and…

STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) hackathons have been conducted to offer opportunities for diverse participants to work collaboratively and intensely on tasks within a short period. However, most literature about hackathons does not offer theoretical discussions on the affordances of such learning contexts for school students.…

Some Black histories are absolutely dreadful. When we consider enslavement, racial violence, the terrors in the lynching of Emmett Till, the destruction of Tulsa during the Race Massacre, and the intergenerational traumas these events left behind, the residues of dread are made visible. Black histories are in a contentious social-political moment…

As the 21st century progresses, we are increasingly reminded of the importance of and need for green chemistry, which also leads to the corresponding need for green chemistry education. The UC Berkeley Department of Chemistry developed a green chemistry laboratory curriculum-the "General Chemistry Green Curriculum" ("GC[superscript…

Background: Youth who have experienced trauma or other adverse childhood events have the potential to uniquely benefit from physical activity (PA). However, how PA is administered in schools can be re-traumatizing and fail to create positive experiences through movement. We sought to develop role-specific training to help increase the…

Teachers' expectancy beliefs are strong predictors of successful curriculum implementation. Drawing from the expectancy-value theory (EVT) of achievement motivation, this study assessed teaching expectancy beliefs in curriculum implementation among Business Management teachers (BMTs). A quantitative research design involved 125 BMTs from 89 senior…
