Price, Argenta; Salehi, Shima; Burkholder, Eric; Kim, Candice; Isava, Virginia; Flynn, Michael; Wieman, Carl – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The ability to solve authentic real-world problems in science, engineering, and medicine is an important goal in post-secondary education. Despite extensive research on problem solving and expertise, the teaching and assessing of advanced problem-solving skills in post-secondary students remains a challenge. We present a template for creating…

Bunza, Mukhtar Umar; Abdulkarim, Lawal – Dinamika Ilmu, 2021
In the study of Islamic education, the scientific and medical contributions of Muslims globally are incongruously positioned. In most cases, Islamic education is completely divorced from its conventional scientific research and experimentation known and appreciated in its early and classical periods. Science and medicine are not alien in Islamic…
