Teaching models are essential to provide nursing students with efficient ways to learn. One such model of teaching is the Backward Design (BWD). The aim of BWD is to recognize desired outcomes and then have the student work backward to draw on what was done to reach the desired outcome. BWD facilitates the understanding of a concept by using…

This article presents the results of an experiment in personalizing course content and learning activity model tailored for online courses based on students' learning styles. The main research objectives are to design and pilot a model to determine students' learning styles to create personalized online courses. The study also addressed an…

This study investigates the application of the SECI model of knowledge dimensions in the design and execution of educational courses in "Innovation and Digitization Management" and "Data-Based Decision Making" microdegrees, developed within the rapidly evolving educational landscape of 2023 and 2024. The research incorporates a…

By using principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) within online learning environments, teacher education faculty have an opportunity to break down barriers and create purposeful course content that will benefit all learners. The application of UDL helps teacher education faculty recruit learner interest, sustain learner efforts, and…

Learning is an integral part of being human. How people learn has long been discussed, revealed in many learning theories, investigated in numerous studies, and demonstrated in extensive practices. The goal of this article is to rethink how people learn from four fundamental perspectives, that is, learning by interaction with content (C), learning…

Supplying an insightful introduction to current trends in general education reform, this second edition of "General Education Essentials: A Guide for College Faculty" gives an important, timely overview of general education curricular design. General education curricula provide students with the intellectual flexibility they need to…

Individualized approaches to online course design benefit faculty in numerous ways. Using a "concierge" model approach, this paper describes the working principles and steps used in course development. The general approach directly addresses many inherent problems with instructional design processes, which often highlight discrepancies…

A theoretical model called 'Curriculum Design Coherence' (CDC) is described and justified. The model's purpose is to assist teachers in the compulsory and higher education sectors to design courses that can accommodate the complex and interdependent relationship between concepts and content and between knowledge and skills. Its intended usefulness…

Architectural forms, architectural knowledge, design process, and design thinking are all changing with the use of computer-aided design programmes, and even traditional university architecture departments now wish to teach these programmes. However, it can be difficult to implement courses on such computer programmes because these departments…

Myriad research in a variety of contexts shows spatial skills benefit students; however, they are not given enough attention in classroom instruction. In this review we systematically explore geoscience education literature focusing on spatial interventions to answer research questions on trends in spatial skills and other characteristics. We…

Given that the primary task of teaching is to teach the content of physical education, attention to how instructional tasks operationalize the curriculum and progress learning is essential knowledge for teachers. Task progression in physical education occurs when tasks are designed to successively and incrementally present physical education…

Learning outcomes in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) require significant improvement. With traditional reform efforts taking many years to realise results, education practitioners in LMICs are searching for innovative ways to rapidly strengthen learning outcomes. One tool showing promise is computer-assisted instruction (CAI). While…

Students routinely struggle with grasping and retaining the content of marketing research courses. To combat this problem, a new market research course was designed that applies all content in the course to an outdoors-based experiential learning project. Specifically, a hands-on nature therapy project was used that involves developing a marketing…

With its agile and iterative approaches, the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) is suggested as an alternative ISD model for ADDIE. However, few studies have been conducted to provide real-world examples of how SAM can be used by instructional designers to develop e-learning content. The purpose of this study was to develop e-learning content…

As the number of on-line classes and the demand for on-line education continues to sky-rocket, it is critical that course developers and university faculty have the skills to effectively design curricula, to develop engaging learning opportunities, and to create responsive courses that meet individual student needs. This paper details three…
