By adapting a well-established expository style practical on the topic of chemoselectivity, we present our successful approach to introducing elements of guided inquiry and decision-making to novice undergraduate chemists. Using nitroacetophenone as the polyfunctional substrate, students investigate the effect of using two different classes of…

One of the major issues related to critical thinking in higher education consists of how educators teach and inspire students to develop greater critical thinking skills. The current study was conducted to explore whether "Decision-based Learning" (DBL), an innovative teaching method, can enhance students' critical thinking skills. This…

Teaching statistics to undergraduate business students is an enduring challenge, often due to student apprehension and low understanding of relevance. The Data to Decision Project is an approach designed to address this challenge. At the onset of an introductory statistics course, fifty-two students received instruction on the Define, Collect,…

This article considers the epistemological chain in adventure sports coaching through personal experiences of undergraduate adventure students using semi-structured interviews and qualitative thematic analysis.

This article exhibits that entrepreneurial marketing educators recur to their own heuristics to deal not only with the challenges that relate to their mentees' entrepreneurial projects, but also with the operationalization of their teaching and methodological approaches. Based on the identification of heuristics derived from a convenience sample…

The laboratory is a complex environment where the three levels of the chemistry triplet coincide. As the laboratory environment places a large demand on the working memory of students, cognitive load theory can address overload which causes barriers to learning. Breaking down barriers requires iterative phases of analysis/exploration,…

Students who have a comprehensive understanding of their potential career paths are better able to make informed decisions regarding their professional futures. Providing classroom activities and assignments designed for career exploration is important to help instructors facilitate student experiences for learning about career paths, supporting a…

Research suggests that most college and beginning graduate students lack the cognitive complexity required to engage in effective practical and ethical reasoning. Studies on cognitive development support the view that how people approach complex problems varies significantly depending on the underlying epistemic assumptions they use to guide their…

To refrain from cheating, students need to adopt an array of discipline-specific standards of academic integrity. The high rates of cheating in college show evidence that many undergraduates fall short of these standards. Little research has examined how instructors teach academic integrity, leaving gaps in our knowledge about how academic…

This article addresses how and why introductory management accounting courses could contribute to sustainable literacy. Drawing on pragmatic constructivism we develop a course design. We base our discussions on teaching experience from two Business Schools. The proposed course design discusses sustainability around five common themes; (i)…
