Congrui Jin; Tareq Daher – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
In engineering education, there is a prioritization of microethics and an omission of macroethics. Although macroethics is particularly significant for civil engineering, in which decision making directly influences the quality of civil infrastructure, current educational practices in civil engineering do not reflect this importance. This case…

Waltzer, Talia; Bareket-Shavit, Carmelle; Dahl, Audun – Journal of College and Character, 2023
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…

Jennifer Y. Abbott; Jordin Clark; James Proszek – Basic Communication Course Annual, 2024
With increasing threats to democracy, we call for communication educators to renew and re-examine their commitment to advancing civic engagement in the basic course. Given recent scholarly criticism that civic engagement pedagogies falsely present democratic practice as neutral or apolitical and reinforce the status quo, we set an agenda for basic…

Miller, Elisabeth L.; Weisse, Kathleen Daly; Hughes, Bradley – Across the Disciplines, 2022
This research study of a WAC learning community focuses on instructors' behind-the-scenes decision making about assignment design. Specifically, we show how instructors use direct personal experience--as students, teachers and scholars--to approach writing assignment design, invoking these experiences to discuss the origin of their assignments and…

Hurtado, Orlando García; Casallas, Wilson Pinzón; Thiriat, Wilson Gordillo – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
This paper aims to show how through plausible reasoning financial mathematics can be taught at the university level, the work is based on a model designed by García (2019), who created it to teach linear algebra in engineering careers, using technology, of all this model, only the design with methodological procedure is adapted. In this grade The…

Trenova, Arailym; Seitzhanov, Azimkhan; Kosobaeva, Bakdolot; Imangaliyeva, Bazarkhan – Higher Education for the Future, 2023
The relevance of the research in this article is conditioned upon the problems of introducing environment-oriented education in the field of chemical discipline for the development of an important component of the information part of this science among students, based on its application in the framework of restoration and conservation of ecology.…

Schoenbohm, Lindsay M.; McMillan, Mitchell – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
In this integrative, team-based capstone project, students in an upper year Tectonics course built a planet of their own design from the basic concepts of plate tectonics. They created a tectonic map complete with plate boundaries, continental-ocean boundaries, motion vectors, and hot spot traces. In subsequent weeks, students produced a geologic…

Chang, Hung-Fu; Shokrolah Shirazi, Mohammad – Informatics in Education, 2022
Scrum is a widely-used framework in industry, so many schools apply it to their software engineering courses, particularly capstone courses. Due to the differences between students and industrial professionals, changing Scrum is necessary to fit capstone projects. In this paper, we suggest a decision-making process to assist instructors in…

Wang, Hai; Wang, Shouhong – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2022
No-code/low-code app development is transforming traditional information system development paradigms. This teaching tip uses an example of course unit of decision support systems (DSS) to demonstrate that introducing no-code system implementation assignments into a course as a replacement for computer programming language exercises can improve…

Aguirre, Grant C., II; Hyman, Michael R.; Jones, Jeri L. – Marketing Education Review, 2020
To explore the best structure for a dedicated marketing ethics course, two field experiments were conducted in which two case types (i.e., small business/personal decision-making versus corporate-wrongdoing) and the timing of logic and critical thinking instruction were manipulated. Results show undergraduates can identify and apply ethical…

Ritella, Giuseppe; Loperfido, Fedela Feldia – Education Sciences, 2021
Learner-centered blended learning approaches, such as Knowledge Creation, emphasize the self-organizing characteristic of thought and action, and value the students' autonomy and self-regulation during the engagement in collaborative learning tasks. In blended contexts, the students need to organize their learning paths within a complex…

Morelock, John R.; Salado, Alejandro; Lakeh, Arash Baghaei; Richards, Trevor K. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
In undergraduate engineering education, students are often overexposed to problem-solving methods that are unrepresentative of how engineers solve problems in practice. For decision-making problems, in particular, students are commonly taught to compare alternative solutions using known and provided information. However, many real-world…

Nurse, Anne M.; Staiger, Trish – Teaching Sociology, 2019
Data reproducibility is becoming increasingly important in the social sciences, but it has yet to be incorporated into many undergraduate sociology programs. This note describes a service-learning activity that can be added to an introductory statistics course. Students partner with a nonprofit and analyze quantitative data to answer questions…
