Anderson; Chelsie Romulo – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional…

James W. Paxton; Sandy Bardsley – History Teacher, 2024
Experimental archaeology is a vibrant and fascinating field that offers great opportunities for hands-on student learning in history. Although it is typically taught by archaeologists and anthropologists, it is certainly accessible and easily adapted to history courses. In addition to teaching "Introduction to Experimental Archaeology"…

In course design, topic outline organization encompasses the structuring and sequencing of topics to be delivered in a learning environment. Recent studies in topic outline optimization revolve around massive open online courses (MOOCs) due to their abundance but not much has been studied on the traditional courses. This study investigates the…

Yifeng Fan; Bahar Javadizadeh; Mariya Gavrilova Aguilar – Journal of Management Education, 2024
In the constantly evolving career landscape, knowledge about human resource management practices could prove very beneficial for undergraduate college students who want to construct protean careers. With its broad content coverage, the introductory HR course is best suited to teach students about key HR functions and practices instrumental to…

Gaiser, J. Christopher; Roberts, Michael F. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2022
We describe a novel, university-level, introductory biology course that uses evolution as a narrative framework. Our course conveys the content in an introductory biology course by telling the story of the evolution of life on Earth. We begin with early Earth environments in which biological molecules and processes evolved and led to the first…

Alexis Buzzell; Timothy J. Atherton; Ramón Barthelemy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Investigating and Improving Quantum Education through Research.] The modern physics course is a crucial gateway for physics majors as it provides an introduction to concepts beyond the scope of the K-12 education. This study collected 167 modern physics syllabi from 127 U.S. research-intensive…

David, Erika J.; Zazkis, Dov – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
Many tertiary institutions with mathematics programmes offer introduction to proof courses to ease mathematics students' transition from primarily calculation-based courses like Calculus and differential equations to proof-centred courses like real analysis and number theory. However, unlike most tertiary mathematics courses, whose mathematical…

Mallory Avery; Jane Caldwell; Christian D. Schunn; Katherine Wolfe – Journal of Economic Education, 2024
The presentation of economics in introductory courses has been highlighted as potentially exacerbating the underrepresentation of women in economics. The authors study the impact of a gender-neutral change in content and instruction in introductory economics courses intended to increase student engagement. By implementing meaningful applied…

Morreale, Sherwyn P.; Myers, Scott A.; Wang, Tiffany R.; Westwick, Joshua N. – Communication Education, 2023
Continuing a tradition dating back to 1968, this tenth study in a longitudinal series of surveys of the basic communication course has two goals: (1) to provide descriptive information about the basic course contemporarily and over time; and (2) to propose a framework for interpreting the impact of the extraordinary national and international…

Woods, David M. – Information Systems Education Journal, 2023
Schools have implemented the high-impact practice of first-year experience (FYE) courses to assist students with the transition to college. These courses help connect new students to the school with the goal of improving retention. While students in computing majors face the same challenges as other new college students, they also face some…

Baumer, Benjamin S.; Bray, Andrew P.; Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine; Hardin, Johanna S. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2020
We designed a sequence of courses for the DataCamp online learning platform that approximates the content of a typical introductory statistics course. We discuss the design and implementation of these courses and illustrate how they can be successfully integrated into a brick-and-mortar class. We reflect on the process of creating content for…

Farrugia, Audrey M. – Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders, 2021
The American Speech Language Hearing Association requires that multicultural content be included in graduate communication and sciences disorders programs. However, there is a paucity of research on the ways that this is achieved. The purpose of this paper is to describe in detail a multicultural course created from best practices gathered from…

Jervis, Kathe – Schools: Studies in Education, 2023
The author--in the role of one teacher observing another--documented a spring 2021 remote introductory art history course during the COVID-19 pandemic when graduate student teaching assistants called a campus-wide strike. Forced to improvise, the professor replaced formal analysis papers and exams with an ungraded journal. Drawing from the content…

Kunene, Niki; Toskin, Katarzyna – Information Systems Education Journal, 2022
Logistic regression (LoR) is a foundational supervised machine learning algorithm and yet, unlike linear regression, appears rarely taught early on, where analogy and proximity to linear regression would be an advantage. A random sample of 50 syllabi from undergraduate business statistics courses shows only two percent of the courses included LoR.…

Fateye, Babasola; Rossman, Nolan; King, Adedipupo; Otieno, Sango – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Increasingly, the curricula of many clinical programs have been restructured to an integrated model in which foundational sciences such as physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology are taught side by side with clinical reasoning. Case studies are an excellent pedagogical strategy for enhancing such integration, especially if such cases are…
