Neil O. Houser – Social Studies, 2024
In addition to the continuing need for citizens who can address the challenges of "human" communities, growing concerns have arisen regarding "all" life on the planet. Indeed, one of our most urgent conditions is the decline of the environment upon which all life depends. Yet, despite our concerns, there remain vastly differing…

Eli Meir; Denise Pope; Joel K. Abraham; Kerry J. Kim; Susan Maruca; Jennifer Palacio – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Active learning approaches to biology teaching, including simulation-based activities, are known to enhance student learning, especially of higher-order skills; nonetheless, there are still many open questions about what features of an activity promote optimal learning. Here we designed three versions of a simulation-based tutorial called…

Al-Olimat, Khalid S. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: Project-based learning is a widely used learning approach that has proven itself effective in engineering education. This article describes a generalized model to teach undergraduate students the concepts of dc electric motors using project-based learning through a complete module that consists of modeling and simulation, and…

Conner, Christopher T.; Baxter, Nicholas M. – Teaching Sociology, 2022
In this article, we report on the implementation of using the game Werewolf as a student-centered applied-learning activity to teach symbolic interaction theory and concepts. Engaging with symbolic interaction theory can be a powerful experience for students due to its potential to challenge taken-for-granted assumptions and analyze students'…

Roham Sadeghi Tabar – Cogent Education, 2024
Technological advancements are pushing new simulation and analytical tools, driving the research fields in design forward. In this environment, for introducing new modeling, simulation, and analytic tools, the pre-training aspect becomes important, presenting the ideas behind the tools and preparing the students to structure their already grasped…

Gazdula, Joe; Farr, Richard – Management Teaching Review, 2020
This article describes the adaptation and use of the Monopoly® board game as a simple simulator to help introduce the principles of probability and risk. It focusses on teaching experiences in an undergraduate business program and offers a new approach to teaching probability and risk with dice to produce a collaborative simulated gaming…

Drewelow, Isabelle; Finney, Sara – Language Learning Journal, 2020
This article reports on using a strategy-based simulation designed to engage intermediate Spanish learners with issues of drug trafficking and violence at the US-Mexico border as an avenue to cultivate an empathetic frame of mind and global perspectives. Using self-reported responses on pre- and post-reflections as well as face-to-face and digital…

Kitchen, Veronica – Journal of Political Science Education, 2022
As experiential learning becomes more central to undergraduate education, we must find ways to use it in large classes and to teach students how to learn from experiences. This article uses a 2-year study of student perceptions of learning from short, in-class games and simulations to show that these active learning activities can be used to…

Kong, Nan – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2019
With widening application of systems modeling and simulation in healthcare industry, relevant courses have been created in many undergraduate biomedical engineering curricula to address the need in workforce development. However, it is challenging to teach systems modeling and simulation and effective teaching is demanded. To answer the call, I…

Riordan, Robert J.; Hine, Michael J.; Smith, Tim C. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2017
This paper describes the redesign and implementation of an introductory Information Systems class. The redesign was guided by principles drawn from the experiential and active learning literature. Central to the redesign are two simulated companies: petGRO, a fictional ERP-enabled pet food and accessories e-tailer, and beans4all, a technology…

Kollars, Nina A.; Rosen, Amanda M. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2013
Assessment through simulation is something that political science pedagogy has yet to explore in a robust manner. This article advances analysis of social science simulation and assessment by laying out a typology of active-learning activities that isolates and examines their potential for assessment. In short, we argue that there are essentially…

Abd El kader, Shireen Mostafa Ahmed – Online Submission, 2018
The present study aimed at investigating the effect of using some proposed kinesthetic activities on developing EFL oral language performance for the primary governmental language students. Participants of the study were 33 students in primary six from Hassan Abu Bakr governmental language school in the academic year 2016-2017. The researcher's…

de Groot, Isolde – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Election simulations are considered a viable tool to instigate democratic learning in schools. This paper reports an explorative qualitative inquiry into one type of simulation project: mock-elections (ME). Main objective was to gain an insight into the organization of ME-practices in eight schools in the Netherlands in 2012. Thematic analysis of…

Messinger, Adam M. – Teaching Sociology, 2015
Few evaluated classroom exercises to date have addressed one of the most cited and compelling explanations of gender formation over the life course: interactionist gender theory. This theory posits that people actively "do" or "perform" their gender in every interaction, and as such, they often subconsciously reshape their…

Price, James C. – PRIMUS, 2015
This article presents four inquiry-based learning activities developed for a liberal arts math course. The activities cover four topics: the Pythagorean theorem, interest theory, optimization, and the Monty Hall problem. Each activity consists of a dialogue, with a theme and characters related to the topic, and a manipulative, that allow students…
