Sharmaine Itwaru – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2024
While the notion of an anti-racist curriculum is not new, many higher education instructors have not made the transition from a decolonized curriculum to an equally decolonized pedagogy.

D. Chase J. Catalano; Venice Adams – College Student Affairs Journal, 2024

Bratt, Sharon – Canadian Journal of Action Research, 2020

Through this lens we see inquiry as a deepened understanding of one's own practice. The purpose of this study was…

Engineering competences form a potential basis for entrepreneurship.

Since the previous models do not give tangible enough tools on how to…

If educators want students to practice and prepare for challenges they might eventually face, there are a number of useful strategies to connect academic learning to the "real world." One is to ask students to complete what are variously called "performance tasks," "case studies," "simulations," or "project- or problem-based learning units."…

The "Practical 1" paper combines Schwab's abiding concern, for the nature and quality of educational experience with another abiding concern, for how we think about what we do.

DeVitis, Joseph L., Ed. – Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2013
Mark Van Doren, the noted literary scholar, once remarked, "The college is meaningless without a curriculum, but it is more so when it has one that is meaningless."
