Reflective thinking (RT) is one of the higher-order thinking skills which have been of great importance to the researchers from a variety of disciplines for years. Although the significance of RT has been discussed in many studies and many different forms, there are no bibliometric studies conducted on this topic. This study aims to examine the…

Contrary to today's hype, interdisciplinarity--and its cognate transdisciplinarity--was once a synonym of a critical-reflexive attitude towards knowledge production and the technoscientific progress, including the mindset, power and authority of science. The role of the entire academic system in causing the environmental crisis and the…

Interdisciplinary engineering education (IEE) is gaining traction as engineering practices increasingly acknowledge the need to transcend traditional boundaries given the complexities of globalised systems. IEE, however, faces challenges that underscore uncertainties and different perceptions about what interdisciplinarity means for engineering…

Differences in economic and social growth and academic equity, experiences, and opportunities have left an achievement gap in STEM for underprivileged students. Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have attempted to answer these inequalities by leveling the playing field or by offering course-based research opportunities with…

Purpose: Expanding on Harris and Sinclair (2014, p. 5) claim that "the writing of a play is an act of inquiry", this paper aims to consider the joyful entanglements, messiness and friction-led use of creative methods within the context of a PhD in education studies. Design/methodology/approach: Amplifying the voices of both doctoral…

In this article, we provide an interdisciplinary overview of reflexive practice within qualitative research and discuss dominant views on reflexivity within qualitative counseling literature. We propose a new way to frame the reflexive process called "radical reflexivity." Finally, we offer examples from our research experience and…

"Letters to the Field: Curriculum Scholars' Stories for Future Generations" encapsulates a generation of scholars who revitalized the field of Curriculum Studies across North America in the mid-1970s, as well as the generations of scholars who immediately followed, all of whom are now themselves senior scholars. Rather than another…

Research in cultural anthropology and the interdisciplinary field of science and technology studies (STS) has demonstrated that environmental disasters are not only techno-scientifically and socio-politically complex but also epistemically complex -- involving perspectival diversity; multiple, often conflicting forms of evidence; data gaps and…

Many higher education institutions have put interdisciplinary teaching and learning high on their agenda. We know students learn a lot from interdisciplinary education, and we know scholars learn from their educational scholarship, but what do scholars learn from engaging in interdisciplinary education? I interviewed seven mid-career scholars…

E-learning modules were developed to enhance student engagement, reflection and interdisciplinary learning in Pathology courses undertaken by students from the Biomedical Science, Allied Health, and Complementary Medicine disciplines. The modules focused on generating multi-disciplinary and team-based solutions to diagnosis, prognosis and…

This article explores the innovative concept of narrative medicine, an interdisciplinary field merging humanities, arts, clinical practice, and healthcare justice, which seeks to deepen the understanding of patient experiences within healthcare settings. It highlights the transformative impact of using art museums, such as The Art Institute of…

High school students often complain of boredom and are disengaged from learning. This qualitative action research study sought to make improvements in teachers' understanding of Kolb's experiential learning cycle, in particular, opportunities for student reflection, and how to increase usage of both constructs in high school classrooms to engage…

Graduate student instructors (GSIs) play a critical role in higher education, serving as instructors of record for a substantial portion of courses at research universities. This study evaluates the structure and processes of Duke University Graduate School's Teaching Triangles (TT) program, an interdisciplinary peer observation and feedback…

Against the background of multifaceted societal challenges, the question of adequate future-oriented conceptualisations of education arises. Multiple stakeholders have raised demands for change and expectations of innovation in education are high. The topic turns out to be diffuse, bulky, and complex: What is innovative education? How can it be…

Four stories of social learning from one Australian university reflect on communities of practice (CoPs) focused on different aspects of quality in teaching and learning. Each convener writes about their CoP convening experience in the context of Wenger-Trayner and Wenger-Trayner's mapping of the "mindset of a systems convener" (2021,…
