J. E. Hall; L. A. Pleasant; M. D. Kinkel – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
This paper describes a short ion flow activity that can be completed within one lab or lecture session. The activity is focused on the core concept of flow-down gradients and is geared toward undergraduates. No previous knowledge of equilibrium potentials or membrane potentials is required. Students are guided through a set of questions that build…

Babier, Aaron; Fernandes, Craig; Zhu, Ian Yihang – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2023
In this paper, we describe a course project in which teams of undergraduate students propose and execute an end-to-end analytics project to solve a real-world problem. The project challenges students to implement machine learning, optimization, simulation, or a combination of these three techniques on real-world data that they collect. A…

Nick Clark; John A. Scherpereel – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Scholars of teaching and learning frequently examine whether simulations promote content knowledge and engagement with course material. But many educators use simulations to promote additional goals. This article suggests that designers of political simulations often pursue four ends: "knowledge, engagement, skills, and empathy (KESE)."…

Klaasjan Visscher – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
This paper presents and evaluates a role-play simulation called 'Theatrical Technology Assessment', in which students learn about complex stakeholder dynamics around emerging technologies. This role-play combines insights from Constructive Technology Assessment, improvisational theatre and educational role-play designs. It was implemented in an…

Eli Meir; Denise Pope; Joel K. Abraham; Kerry J. Kim; Susan Maruca; Jennifer Palacio – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Active learning approaches to biology teaching, including simulation-based activities, are known to enhance student learning, especially of higher-order skills; nonetheless, there are still many open questions about what features of an activity promote optimal learning. Here we designed three versions of a simulation-based tutorial called…

Al-Olimat, Khalid S. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: Project-based learning is a widely used learning approach that has proven itself effective in engineering education. This article describes a generalized model to teach undergraduate students the concepts of dc electric motors using project-based learning through a complete module that consists of modeling and simulation, and…

Vincenti, Giovanni – Informatics in Education, 2022
Preparing students for the workforce is a balancing act that involves theory, practice, and assessment. As students navigate an educational experience that is, however, often distant from real-world needs, it is imperative that academia finds a novel way to bridge the gap. As many organizations utilize open challenges to attract ideas and talent,…

Spitha, Natalia; Doolittle, Pamela S.; Buchberger, Amanda R.; Pazicni, Samuel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The Beer-Lambert law is a core spectroscopic relationship widely used across the undergraduate chemistry curriculum and beyond. The derivation of this model is a common topic for upper-level chemistry courses. But, due to its abstract nature, this derivation can often seem like a mathematical exercise detached from the molecular origins of…

Darryl Cochrane – Student Success, 2025
This practice report describes the application of scenario-based learning to improve awareness of interpersonal skills in sport and exercise students. Thirty second-year undergraduate students over two consecutive academic years engaged in three scenario-based learning activities that simulated client interviews and consultations. The consensus…

Conner, Christopher T.; Baxter, Nicholas M. – Teaching Sociology, 2022
In this article, we report on the implementation of using the game Werewolf as a student-centered applied-learning activity to teach symbolic interaction theory and concepts. Engaging with symbolic interaction theory can be a powerful experience for students due to its potential to challenge taken-for-granted assumptions and analyze students'…

Gross, Benjamin Isaak – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
While the number of newspapers and the circulation of those remaining is decreasing, they are still the greatest contributor of new information into media ecosystems. Newspapers continue to pay an important role in setting the agenda, as other sources recycle and repackage their content. To assist students in learning concepts of newspapers,…

Drewelow, Isabelle; Finney, Sara – Language Learning Journal, 2020
This article reports on using a strategy-based simulation designed to engage intermediate Spanish learners with issues of drug trafficking and violence at the US-Mexico border as an avenue to cultivate an empathetic frame of mind and global perspectives. Using self-reported responses on pre- and post-reflections as well as face-to-face and digital…
