Experiential philanthropy courses have proliferated in recent years in the context of a reinvigorated debate about the nature of elite philanthropy. This paper analyzes the content faculty use to teach philanthropy in 33 courses funded by the Learning by Giving Foundation. We find that courses prioritize materials that address formal philanthropy,…

The need for addressing global and societal problems is stronger than ever, as demonstrated by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges. However, engineering undergraduate students rarely get to experience engaging with the associated real-world projects and challenges. This has the potential to…

We designed an asynchronous undergraduate introductory statistics course that focuses on simulation-based inference at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In this article, we describe the process we used to design the course and the structure of the course. We also discuss feedback and comments we received from students on the course evaluations,…

Development of team skills is vital to becoming a successful and productive engineer. To prepare students for successful team-based work, they need a basic understanding of the organizational psychology underpinning teamwork and an introduction to tools and techniques to develop and sustain team effectiveness. The goal of this paper is to…

This article presents a design-based research (DBR) methodology to develop a teacher professional development intervention that is aimed at helping teachers become designers of student-centred e-learning activities. The intervention was tested at Gulu University (GU) and Maseno University (MU), and a set of activities and tools, as well as six…

Learning in makerspaces is free from curriculum and evaluation and is believed to yield practical, self-driven and solution-oriented learners. This study explores how makerspace pedagogy can be emulated in formal higher education settings to support this kind of learning. Action research was used to cultivate and review this pedagogical approach…

Restorative justice (RJ) is a philosophy and set of practices that center harms and needs. Within a classroom setting, an RJ pedagogical approach invites a process of shared learning that attends to critical issues of equity, power, and voice. Utilizing an autoethnographic approach, this manuscript includes critical reflections from three faculty…

To realize more equitable technology futures, it is not enough to simply adapt technology to be more inclusive "after" it is created. We will also need to equip technology creators with the skills they need to critically reflect upon bias and exclusion "during" the technology design process. The question of how to best to…

The study aimed to conduct a systematic literature review to identify the trends, impacts, and challenges of mobile microlearning (MML) research. Using five academic databases from the fields of social science, engineering, and medical science as search sources, 26 scholarly articles, published between 2015 and 2020, were retrieved. The study…

The purpose of this study was to analyze online physical education (OLPE) teachers' pedagogical practices. The three primary research questions guiding the study were: (1) What are the pedagogical practices of experienced OLPE teachers? (2) How are the pedagogical practices implemented in OLPE courses? (3) Why do experienced OLPE teachers use…

Student reflection can take on various roles, such as evaluating one's progress, setting and evaluating goals, regularly reviewing one's progress, giving and receiving constructive support and feedback, and effectively communicating and assessing one's learning and experiences (Webb & Scoular (2011). Research indicates that facilitating…

Scholars have often proposed the use of "Culturally Relevant Pedagogy" (CRP) as a way to improve the experience of Black learners in mathematics classrooms. Prior research shows Black learners show improvement in comprehension, engagement, motivation, and confidence as a result of CRP's use. However, there is limited research on whether…

This study constitutes a needs assessment for the design of an ESD curriculum for Lebanon. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 academic and professional experts in education and sustainable development encompassing its environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Results showed that Lebanon is in a dire need of an ESD curriculum…

"Introducing Engineering to K-8 Students" will provide you with the tools you need to incorporate engineering design into your classroom. Rather than prescribing a specific curriculum to follow, this book will help you engage your students with hands-on, open-ended engineering design problems that can be easily integrated into your…

This study aimed to explore the relationship between students' understanding of the National Matriculation English Test (NMET) and their learning practices through standard multiple regression (SMR) and structural equation modeling (SEM) with the purpose of unraveling the working mechanism of washback. A total number of 3105 Chinese senior high…
