This study aimed to develop and assess strategies for integrating a green curriculum into Indonesian elementary science education to improve environmental awareness and eco-friendly culture among students. Utilizing research development design, the research began with a needs analysis from five elementary schools, followed by a quasi-experiment in…

Purpose: Problem-based learning (PBL) has been suggested as an approach to education for sustainable development (ESD); however, the integration of interdisciplinarity is continuously challenged as it requires transfer and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries, as well as integration into an often already-overflowing curriculum. Even in…

Communication and collaboration skills are one of the most important competencies for students. This study aims to analyze the development of communication and collaboration skills of students of IAIN Kerinci's Biology Department through the application of the problem-based learning (PBL) model. Using a quantitative descriptive survey approach,…

The goal of the study is to overcome two main drawbacks of traditional science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) pedagogical strategies using PBL - lack of student engagement and students who are not prepared for more complex problems. PBL teaching strategies practiced in an introductory class are assessed. Classroom observations and…

This study attempted to conceptualise and measure learners' perceptions of their collaborative problem-based learning and peer assessment strategies in a technology-enabled context. Drawing on the extant literature, we integrate collaborative, problem-based and peer assessment learning strategies and propose a new model, the collaborative…

Ensure all learners have opportunities to engage deeply in meaningful intellectual work. In "Ambitious Instruction," author Brad Cawn offers a blueprint for how to make rigor visible, accessible, and actionable in grade 6-12 classrooms. The resource guides readers toward using the twin tenets of problem-based learning and synthesis to…

While the benefits of experiential learning are well established throughout management and business courses, they are used less often when teaching strategic management. Yet, many concepts in strategy, such as the value chain, are difficult for students to understand. The abstract nature of these topics, coupled with the limited real-life exposure…

More than a half century has passed since the first integration of problem-based learning (PBL) in higher education teaching. Despite the extensive investigation focused on this pedagogy, rigorous research on the impact of PBL in civil engineering is limited. Thus, this study aims to provide a thorough evaluation of students' perceptions of PBL in…

International higher education is facing increasing competition and pressure from new market entrants, who are introducing disruptive models of delivering more affordable education on scale. Higher education is definitely more than ever at a crossroads in terms of securing its future existence, which is why it becomes essential for academic…

Purpose: In Ghana, graduates often have limited entrepreneurial skills and rarely undertake entrepreneur initiatives as they are persistently in search of non-existing jobs in the formal sector. On this basis, this study was conducted to identify underlying strategies for improving entrepreneurial skill requirement of technical and vocational…

An increasing number of introductory physics courses are seeking to incorporate "authentic practices," and a large area of focus in this trend is the incorporation of computational problems into the curriculum. These problems offer students an opportunity to engage with the programming practices and numerical problem-solving methods used…

The case study approach is one form of problem-based learning (PBL) that results in deeper understanding of content, and it involves pushing students to think beyond the answers appropriate for class (Hmelo-Silver, 2004; Nilson, 2010, 2013). Case studies prompt students to consider the realistic implications of how they use course content in…

This study investigated the effect of simulation game instructional strategy on academic performance of students in secondary school Social Studies. The quasi-experimental design was employed. One hundred and sixteen (116) Upper basic 2 students from six schools constituted the study sample. 50-items multiple-choice Social Studies Achievement test…

This article reports on a study that investigated student perceptions of the effectiveness of collaborative mapping as a teaching strategy to facilitate interdisciplinary learning. Forty-five students enrolled in an introduction to interdisciplinary studies course participated in the study. Qualitative data, collaborative maps and student…

One of the biggest challenges facing gifted education is how to balance the need to provide students with enrichment opportunities within the context of an overly prescribed or required curriculum. The emergence of standards in individual states and the new Common Core State Standards coupled with the almost overpowering influence of standardized…
