This paper presents a philosophical reflection on a first-year design studio, conducted as an experimental deviation from traditional 'all too human' models of architectural education. The pedagogical approach ventures into broader ethical concerns surrounding the nonhuman and the art of building. In the studio, familiar human standpoints were…

Background/purpose: This study addresses the growing gap in preparing pre-service teachers for immersive digital instruction, especially within metaverse environments. While many are familiar with digital platforms as learners, they often lack practical experience in managing and teaching in virtual settings. The purpose of this study is to…

This study investigated cross-cultural differences in visual attention patterns during comic reading, focusing on participants with Japanese and American cultural backgrounds. Using an eye-tracking paradigm, we examined attention processes as participants viewed pages from American comics and Japanese manga featuring objective or subjective…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are becoming increasingly popular in education, providing teachers with new opportunities to enhance student learning experience and build upon existing teaching practices. This study employs a co-design approach to develop AI-integrated learning materials and explore their implementation in elementary…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an approach to learning which aims to improve learners' learning outcomes. In the SRL cycle, the quality of students' reflections is a critical factor in SRL performance that can improve learning outcomes. The feedback provided by teachers often has a significant impact on the quality of students' reflections.…

This article reflects a teaching experience in an archival science program offered by a Quebec university. With the aim of redesigning an online course in records management intended for undergraduate students, by incorporating more recent aspects in the course curriculum, a pedagogical approach based on the ADDIE model (analysis, design,…

Professional competence and career adaptability are essential for preparing students to meet modern healthcare demands. However, there is a paucity of evidence to guide teaching and learning of these constructs in the context of Level I fieldwork (FW). This paper details a Level I FW program re-design using a professional competence framework to…

First-Year Experience (FYE) courses are found in colleges across the United States to support students' transition to college (McBride et al., 2021, "Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition" 33:99-119, Young & Keup, 2016, "New Directions for Community Colleges" 2016:57-69). This study explored how…

An elective course on chemical process separations has been developed to provide upper-level undergraduate students the opportunity to develop expertise in evaluating and potentially improving energy consumption in distillation operations. This paper presents examples of the work submitted to illustrate the pedagogy of the class. These examples…

One of the most important goals for vocational agriculture education in Burundi (ITAB) is to develop the sustainable agriculture competencies of students. Competence-based education (CBE) is the current official approach for ITAB curriculum design. The present study aimed to examine to what extent the ITAB curriculum addresses sustainable…

There has been ongoing research into qualitative differentiation of university student learning outcomes but limited attempts to explain the extent to which material elements such as learning technologies contribute to these differences. A theory of materiality for the university student experience is essential if teachers are to design and teach…

This study evaluated the implementation and impact of the School of Interactive Arts (SIA), a scalable, in-class instructional model designed to introduce high school students to computer science and video game design through a virtual platform called Ghost School. Conducted in New York City Department of Education public high schools, the study…

Concerns about the rising cost of college and growing student loan debt have intensified in recent years, with 85% of non-enrolled adults citing affordability as a key barrier (Gallup & Lumina Foundation, 2024) and a third of currently enrolled college students agreeing that their "institution charges too much for an undergraduate…

Design ideation is a critical early step in any design process to generate a large number of ideas that can be cut down into the best and most innovative ones to inspire better design solutions and products. This study seeks to unearth how graphic design students generate design ideas and the extent to which traditional analogue and digital tools…

Science courses are required for nonmajor students as part of general education with the goal of students connecting scientific knowledge to their own lives using science to make decisions. Often, however, these science courses emphasize basic concepts and terms without making it relevant to students' lives. Thus, these courses may not be…
