Martin Cautivo Querevalú-Pazos – Education 3-13, 2025
Inquiry-based teaching is the most widespread approach in science education worldwide. However, in Peru, this model became better known since the latest curriculum reform in 2016, which proposed implementing that teaching approach at all levels of schooling. Since then, no literature review has been conducted on the status quo of implementing…

Gunnlaugson, Olen; Cueto de Souza, Renata; Zhao, Steven; Yee, Allen; Scott, Charles; Bai, Heesoon – Journal of Transformative Education, 2023
We are interested in the transformative potentials of intersubjectivity as it is enacted through second-person contemplative approaches. Our work here focuses on contemplative practice as a pedagogy that reveals and enacts intersubjectivity within postsecondary education. How might contemplative higher education practice as a pedagogy enable…

Siegel, David J. – Liberal Education, 2021
Contemporary education policy--which fixates on "the impact agenda" and tailors academic pursuits to narrow utilitarian (read "economic" and "employment") aims--emphasizes measurable results starting as early as kindergarten. Whether the education experience fosters anything approximating a love of learning seems to…

Piercey, Victor – PRIMUS, 2021
Since the content of the Theory of Interest course in an actuarial science program is tied to an external exam, instructors may be hesitant to attempt to use inquiry-based learning. In this paper, I outline how and why I did so, including descriptions of the materials that I wrote. I found that student performance on the final exam improved…

Hunzicker, Jana – Online Submission, 2023
In theory, the fact that American colleges and universities tend to be liberal-leaning should not be an issue. However, several studies document that political bias in today's college classrooms causes students to avoid discussing potentially controversial topics for fear of criticism and ridicule, lowered grades, and even physical harm.…

Anne Pirrie; Caroline Ainslie – Scottish Educational Review, 2025
This article is a cross-border adventure in two senses of the term. Firstly, it is an adventure in co-authorship that exemplifies how Dewey conceptualises education, namely as a 'continuous reconstruction of experience'. Secondly, it explores the limitations of a restricted definition of 'professionalism', particularly when the term is applied in…

Puspha Sinnayah; Trudy Ambler; Kate Kelly; Loretta Konjarski; Kathy Tangalakis; Andrew Smallridge – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2024
The literature indicates that collaborative activities can support professional learning (PL) for academics teaching in higher education (HE). Nevertheless, limited approaches for collegial PL exist that can be embedded in the day-to-day work of busy academics. This paper reports on an evidence-based approach to practice that was undertaken to…
