This paper reports on a narrative review of the criticality of problem-solving and troubleshooting skills for undergraduate Electronics Engineering students and its significance for industry readiness. The review was undertaken to understand the problems and troubleshooting skills learned and possessed by the Electronics Engineering training…

As online education grows rapidly in social work, there are growing concerns about teaching critical-thinking skills in online environments. This retrospective case study shares experience of an online course that employed a strength-based instructional method to enhance critical-thinking skills among undergraduate social-work students. Twenty-two…

Future students are confronted with a complex world that demands the ability to solve problems in unstructured, undefined, and unfamiliar situations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the development of problem-solving skills through the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL). While previous research has primarily focused on…

This study examines a practical teaching and learning cycle tailored to integrate cutting-edge technologies (artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) game development) and social entrepreneurship within a "STEM with meaning" approach. This cycle, rooted in service learning and the 5E constructivist teaching model (engage,…

This qualitative research study explores how recent graduates perceive the influence their on-campus food service job had on their critical thinking development. This study seeks to answer two research questions. The first research question -- "what factors were associated with students choosing to work in food service for multiple…

There are several considerations to address when conducting functional communication training for challenging behavior in a school setting, such as the need for schedule thinning and maintenance across staff and the need to establish a variety of appropriate classroom skills. There are several strategies for conducting schedule thinning following…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) refers to students' ability to take charge of their own learning and consists of behavioral strategies that are associated with better online academic performance. This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of two interventions (SRL training alone and SRL training paired with a learning diary) on online…

Despite increasing recognition of the importance of high-quality school leadership, we know remarkably little about principal skill development. Using administrative data from Tennessee, Oregon, and New York City, we estimate the returns to principal experience as measured by student outcomes, teacher hiring and retention patterns, and teacher and…

At the turn of the century, a school leadership crisis emerged with school districts facing high turnover and a lack of replacements, as well as available new hires with the requisite skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to succeed in leading a school (Gates et al., 2003). School principals play a key role in student success and principal…

As agricultural education propels itself into the 21st century, a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education has been prioritized. While STEM integration has been held in high regard, many employers claim that students lack the necessary STEM-based skills to be successful in an entry-level position. In addition,…

Aim/Purpose: This review's main objective was to examine the existing literature on the use of 3D printers in primary education, covering students aged six to twelve across general, special, and inclusive educational environments. Background: A review of the literature indicated a significant oversight -- prior reviews insufficiently distinguish…

The information society is part of current life, and algorithmic thinking and programming are relevant for everybody regardless of educational background. Today's world needs professionals with computing competencies from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic Societies) and non-WEIRD contexts. Traditional programming…

The integration of education and robotics has emerged as a crucial development in the technological landscape. This study focuses on the use of a robot teaching assistant to enhance the learning efficiency of 8th-grade students in hands-on STEM activities centered around the theme of "Smart City." It explores the impact of educational…

Outcomes in the inter- and intra-personal realms are central to the goals of Jewish education, yet educators often struggle to address them in a meaningful way. In this article, we describe what we learned from facilitating an online community of practice for congregational school leaders and day school educators seeking to enhance their work in…
