Micro-credentials (MCs) are gaining traction in higher education, aligning with Open, Flexible, and Distance Learning (OFDL) ideals. Despite the growing interest, their full impact on academia is still being debated. This highlights the need for research into the institutional factors essential for integrating MCs successfully, particularly as…

This classroom-based action research (CBAR) corroborated our belief in the valuable role rubrics play in a tertiary L2 writing context where English is the medium of instruction. The three-stage CBAR involved ongoing discussions between us, two writing teacher-researchers, as we adapted our teaching and assessment strategies to explore the…

This study examines the impact of organizational purposes and values on reforming physics instruction to align with a practice-based instructional approach, in a case of engaging in infrastructuring with a no-excuses charter network. The network's instruction was guided by organizational purposes of ensuring predictable academic success and…

This book offers an overview of the research carried out in didactics on the teaching and learning of science at university from the perspective of university pedagogy.
