Purpose: This viewpoint aims to discuss the transformative role, the current challenges and the outlook of sustainability accounting education (SAE). Design/methodology/approach: Higher education institutions (HEIs) have a "social responsibility" to foster competencies and skills for sustainable development within their student bodies…

Background: The evolving transformations of our society at large, academic institutions, and engineering discipline in the 21st century have profound implications for the nature of experiential learning being offered in engineering education. However, what is experiential learning in the context of engineering education? Purpose: The introduction…

The development of data science curricula has gained attention in academia and industry. Yet, less is known about the pedagogical practices and tools employed in data science education. Through a systematic literature review, we summarize prior pedagogical practices and tools used in data science initiatives at the higher education level.…

Despite being recognised as complementary to formal learning, informal learning is not yet well understood. Using a qualitative synthesis approach, we systematically reviewed how students' informal learning interactions are represented in health professions education research. Thirty-five articles were identified. Our three-stage analysis…

The current study details the development of an undergraduate business analytics course that combines components of both active and experiential learning. The course offering is designed to expose students from different backgrounds to an intermediate-to-advanced level of business analytics. The course is unique in that it was designed to be…

Purpose: This study aims to delve into the evolution, trends and implications of scientific production related to service learning (SL) and community engagement for sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs). Because HEIs play a crucial role in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs), experiential learning approaches are…

The 21st century's growing societal and environmental challenges are ubiquitous. The combination of knowledge, values, mindsets, and abilities needed to address these challenges requires educating society about the simultaneous pursuit of economic, environmental, and social goals as advocated by the United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development…

Integrating STEM-ESD enhances educational quality through interdisciplinary, hands-on learning experiences that foster deeper understanding and cultivate skills for real-world challenges. This paper presents a systematic review examining STEM-ESD implementation in Indonesia's educational context. Guided by four research questions, the study…

International curricular redevelopment and quality improvement efforts include integration within and across disciplines as a focal point. Definitions and applications of the term 'integration' vary routinely in health professions education literature, weakening opportunities to enhance our educational practice through collaborative,…

Practical experiential learning opportunities have become an integral component of linking the theory of academia to the practice of industry. Sport industry officials, for example, have identified the internship as the most important element of a sport management program. In meeting the demands of the industry, the internship has become the most…

The use of real contexts in learning has been of central interest to educational developments such as experiential learning, case studies, work placements and simulations. They centre around the benefits of putting students in realistic situations, using real tools to solve real/realistic problems. A growing number of learning games are making use…

The intentions with which hands-on simulations are used in vocational education are not always clear. Also, pedagogical-didactic approaches in hands-on simulations are not well conceptualised from a learning theory perspective. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the added value that hands-on simulations can have in an innovative vocational…

Describes a project to reconceptualize the base for citizenship education and to determine implications of experiential learning for curriculum and instruction. (Author/DB)

School curriculum should be made more meaningful for those students who are preparing for "an ordinary job" and for everyday life, as opposed to those in vocational or professional training. Such a curriculum was proposed by E. W. Butterfield in the 1930s. Elements of that curriculum are discussed. (PP)

This article (1) defines "experiential learning" and some of its properties, purposes, and forms; (2) proposes a framework for thinking about evaluating educational programs; and (3) offers recommendations for future research to explore the value of experiential learning, guide program development, and increase knowledge about youth socialization…
