Associating the information intended to be learned in line with the achievements of the science course with daily life, following current situations, and developing solutions to possible problems are among the important skills that students should acquire. This study aims to determine the level of science teachers' ability to establish a real life…

Background: Health outcomes of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Intellectual Disability are poor. Yet there is a paucity of nurse education and preparation to care for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability. Method: A cross sectional survey of Australian Registered Nurses related to their educational…

Despite occupational therapy's critical role on the rehabilitation team for individuals with upper limb loss or difference (ULL/D) and prosthetics, this population is not extensively covered in many occupational therapy (OT) program curricula. As such, many clinicians work with patients with ULL/D with little expertise or confidence for this…

The importance of professional experience is clearly recognised in initial teacher education and in other professions. In this study, we explore one element of professional experience for trainee special/inclusive educators, placement in an educational setting for practicum, and how it is provided in postgraduate Australian special/inclusive…

Experiential philanthropy courses have proliferated in recent years in the context of a reinvigorated debate about the nature of elite philanthropy. This paper analyzes the content faculty use to teach philanthropy in 33 courses funded by the Learning by Giving Foundation. We find that courses prioritize materials that address formal philanthropy,…

Purpose: This study investigates the role of the engineering education environment created by the implementation of the "Plan for Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers" (PETOE) on the professional capability development of engineering students from the perspective of students' experience.

While Internet of Things (IoT) devices have increased in popularity and usage, their users have become more susceptible to cyber-attacks, thus emphasizing the need to manage the resulting security risks. However, existing works reveal research gaps in IoT security risk management frameworks where the IoT architecture -- building blocks of the…

There is a need for public health undergraduates to acquire skills in data collection, statistical programming, and infectious diseases modeling. Public health officials and accreditation bodies underline the importance of a cumulative, "real-world" experience as part of a student's education. The Watermelon Meow Meow (WMM) outbreak is a…

Service-Learning is a form of experiential education and a teaching tool that can both enhance student learning outcomes and contribute to community goals. When this type of learning intersects with social justice education, or liberatory education, different types of student outcomes may arise; specifically, those contributing to the development…

The use of virtual labs in higher education is gaining growing interest, with different debates in the literature about their role in addressing learning outcomes and balancing hands-on activities. This study seeks to understand how labs can be virtualised and thus structured to contribute to engineering education, by adopting an innovative…

Purpose: This paper aims to examine the piloting of an experience-based training module on greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting. The training is designed to promote knowledge and skills of both, students and professionals, in the context of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. The paper's purpose is to evaluate the suitability of the chosen…

Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) can improve student skills, retention, and matriculation to postgraduate study. Traditionally, UREs are available mostly in the natural and biological sciences, which have fewer minority and women majors and thus have disproportionately excluded these groups from such experiences. One effective solution is…

Experiential learning pedagogies, including service-learning, can be used in the business classroom to connect theory and practice. An increasing body of literature demonstrates a trend toward service-learning integration into the business classroom and shows that service projects can potentially support learning outcomes for business students.…
