In this article, I theorize a Black sense of place, from the interior--as geoaesthetic praxis and as a break from being a colonial subject. Composed within the traditions of Black studies and prior scholarship on geospatial praxis, the work draws on the aesthetic, spatial, and pedagogical orientations that emerge from understanding Black…

This study examined the impact of a teacher professional development (TPD) program on primary school teachers' skills and self-efficacy in integrated language arts, science, and technology (ILS&T) instruction. The program's design is based on the four-component instructional-design (4C/ID) model, validated in many areas for developing complex…

In this article, two researcher-educators assert that Black Language should be valued in the English language arts and reading classroom and provide four examples of novels (as well as corresponding activities) that can be taught in the classroom and that demonstrate authentic Black Language.

International teamwork skills are becoming more and more important for future engineers. Engineering projects with diverse students working towards solving an issue together could cultivate such skills. However, social exclusion may rise when faultlines emerge: dividing lines that split a group into relatively homogeneous subgroups. This study…

This study investigated the effects of design thinking STEAM (DT-STEAM) education on artificial intelligence (AI) learning and creativity. A total of 59 university students enrolled in two courses as part of a teacher education program at a public university were recruited. A nonequivalent group pretest and posttest design was used to perform a…

Engineering Graphics and Design is a South African school subject which is foundational to fields such as mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering. However, persistent shortcomings in this subject's instruction have been documented in the South African National Senior Certificate examiners' reports over the past decade. These issues stem…

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between the art interests and critical thinking dispositions of the students who study fine arts education in the faculty of education. The sample of the research consisted of 236 fine arts education students including 123 from the department of painting teaching and 113 from the…

Children in all cultures readily engage in artistic activities, yet the arts (dance, drama, drawing, and music) have traditionally been marginal topics in the discipline of developmental science. We argue that developmental psychologists cannot afford to ignore such naturalistic activities that involve so many basic phenomena--attention,…

Research has shown that participation in the arts at school and in the classroom has many academic and personal well-being benefits. Here we outline some of the key effects of arts participation, with particular focus on one of its psychological yields: "flow." We then define flow and describe its nine ingredients with particular…

One of the basic features of the modern educational system is manifested in the reversal of the transmissive (traditional) approach to learning and teaching to the transformational (modern) approach. The transmissive approach to learning and teaching is that one in which students adopt readymade constructs of organised knowledge through passive…

This article brings the work of cultural theorist Mieke Bal and historian Hayden White into a conversation, inviting the reader to consider framing, re-framing, and un-framing as historiographical dispositions. The concept of framing was used as a substitute for context in cultural analysis. The article argues that the concept of framing could be…

The purpose of this article is to examine the pedagogy and practice of critical tourism in art education abroad. First, we unpack the neoliberal discourse underlying U.S. study abroad programs and problematize the popular belief that a short-term study abroad experience can result in the genuine development of culturally competent global citizens.…

In this article, art education researchers from four universities share a multisite research project dealing with teaching digital game design to preservice art educators. The research project was initially designed in response to recent trends to develop 21st-century skills in education, digital media, and art/design education, as advocated by…

Traditions associated with the physical studio in design education have obstructed translation to an online model. Literature on design pedagogy reveals the studio is considered essential for design education. This perception can be traced to the "atelier" model in the fine arts, in which students practised under a master. This method…

In this article, the author details how art teachers can reframe post-internet art as a catalyst for teaching and learning toward the future in art education curriculum development. The ideas presented here could be adapted to K-12 and university-level teaching and learning in art education, particularly coursework that focuses on introducing…
