Educating students in higher education who are capable of addressing societal challenges requires innovative learning journeys. In the current study, we explore challenge-based learning (CBL) as one way to realise such education. A Delphi study has been conducted at a Dutch University for Life Sciences to identify key characteristics, learning…

Three decades ago, the term Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) entered educational discourse. However, it is important to note that the concept of "ESD" did not emerge from scholarly debates on education, rather as a tool to carry forward the agenda of sustainable development. As a result, it has been conceptualized in many…

Social work education has increasingly integrated simulated learning, yet there is a scarcity of quantitative syntheses on its effects. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the effectiveness of simulated learning in social work education based on outcomes from using either live standardized clients (SCs) or virtual clients (VCs). The…

Non-formal learning settings like out-of-school labs provide students with insights into authentic learning situations. For example, in physics, students are engaged in experimenting as an authentic method. However, increasing the authenticity in experimentation can lead to overwhelming demands and hinder concept development and does not even need…

Purpose: This study aims to bring together the available scattered knowledge about teaching and learning in Living Labs within higher education, and to explore their potential for supporting students' sustainability-oriented transformative learning. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review was conducted, applying a realist approach. A…

This review explores how artificial intelligence (AI henceforth) can reshape education through insights from situated learning literature. The objective was to critically examine opportunities and challenges of situated learning, and how AI could augment strengths while overcoming obstacles. A systematic review using the PRISMA method analyzed 60…

This paper examines the transformative potential of performance-based assessment (PBA) in mathematics education across Sub-Saharan Africa when integrated with Ubuntu philosophy. Through a conceptual analysis of existing literature and pedagogical frameworks, this study explores how PBA can be integrated with Ubuntu philosophy to address…

In response to the problems experienced during the practice of the current ELT curriculum and the requirement for an authentic language learning environment, a unique English language teaching curriculum was designed for young learners in the present study. The curriculum was rooted in Krashen's Natural Approach and adopted an eclectic curriculum…

The current study investigates how second language (L2) learners' metacognition integrates practice strategies in self-regulated learning to develop speaking abilities. A Metacognitive Practice Speaking Strategy (MPSS) model was developed to explore specific configurations of metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive strategies, and practice…

In the realm of international education there are many calls to increase and improve faculty development to make study abroad experiences more intellectually and interculturally enriching, for both faculty and students (Anderson et al., 2016; Gillespie, 2019; Gillespie et al., 2020; Johnstone et al., 2020; Layne et al., 2020). In this study we…

The damped harmonic oscillator physics problem is a standard oscillation problem in calculus physics for pre-engineering students in a community college. The use of alternative linear algebra eigenvalue stability method is consistent with the upper engineering courses using control theory. The external force and friction damping would become the…
