This study explores the impact of an action-oriented environmental education course on students' environmental awareness, with 53 college students divided into experimental (N = 27) and control (N = 26) groups. Both groups participated in similar learning activities; however, the experimental group further recorded the amount of waste discharged…

While marketing educators have identified the need for integrating transformative consumer behavior (TCR) in the marketing curriculum, they offer scant examples as it relates to actual student projects. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how marketing educators can help students design interventions that address macro-level marketing…

As soon as they are admitted to a university, most students become responsible for their own finances, but because of a lack of parental supervision, they are more inclined to spend than to manage their money. A study of first-year undergraduate accounting students was conducted to examine the effects of rational emotive behavior therapy-based…

This paper contends that one key reason for the lack of adoption of comprehensive change models based in higher education (HE) teaching and learning is that they lack a strong theoretical underpinning, thus potentially impeding their effectiveness in dealing with the complexities of human and organisational behaviour. Change theories that…

This research arose out of conversations among climate change education instructors teaching at Lakehead University and our shared interest to better understand student experiences in our courses, with the intention of informing pedagogical decisions around course design and content. Data were collected from students at the end of seven courses…

Purpose: A transition toward sustainable development requires engagement of university students in transformative learning. Therefore, quality frameworks and processes should support deep approaches to sustainable development in higher education. Research and initiatives that connect sustainable development, higher education and quality assurance…

This article's focus was on transitioning middle grade students from the position of having a positive environmental attitude toward their exhibiting actual behaviors that address climate change. Using research by Newhouse's criteria of changing attitude into behavior, specific activities were developed and tested in a eighth grade classroom. The…

Through an energy exhibit entitled Future Energy Chicago, we explore how using collaborative and competitive facilitation formats affect aspects of the energy literacy of guests. The study takes place in an interactive, hour-long museum experience led by a trained museum facilitator. Guests were assigned to attend either a collaborative or…

This article extends Kuh and associates' research describing high-impact learning as kinds and types of projects and assignments shown to benefit postsecondary students and increase rates of student retention and engagement. Given that the content and implementation of postsecondary courses have continuously evolved in recent years, this present…

Planning for and evaluating study behaviors are key regulatory skills that present considerable challenge for college learners. This study examined the utility of a targeted intervention tool intended to promote college learners' study time calibration. Through implementation of a weekly, reflective activity, we examined improvement in learners'…

Background and purpose: Historically, sports training methodology, including soccer coaching, has been influenced by the pedagogic tend dominant in each epoch. Of late, the literature has espoused the idea that human learning is individual, nonlinear, and complex. Nonlinear Pedagogy (NLP) takes into account such nonlinearity and complex phenomena…

Although literature emphasizes the value of recursive reflection on problems of practice to facilitate teacher learning and change, few studies investigate teachers' iterative, evolving reflections on problems that emerge in their efforts to change their practice over time. This case study provides an in-depth, longitudinal analysis of one…

The aim of this study is to find out the effect on environmental attitude of the active learning method applied in teaching the biology topic "Current Environmental Issues and Human" for 10th grade students. The study was carried out through one group pretest-posttest design as an experimental model. The research sample consists of 50…

This study adopts an experimental design to investigate the effectiveness of a password hygiene training programme. The password hygiene training programme adopted the Protection Motivation Theory's framework in its development, and was delivered online to 84 students aged 13 to 16. Strength of password measures, such as time taken, and number of…

Three decades have passed since approximately 1,700 scientists signed the "World Scientists' Warning to Humanity" highlighting severe environmental problems and trends affecting local and global communities. To reverse the situation, their 1992 Warning argued we need to change our behaviour. In 2017, a larger group issued a second…
