Contemporary literature in engineering education calls for focused efforts towards revitalizing the curriculum, pedagogic practice, and assessments. Creating multidisciplinary, experiential learning opportunities through a biomimicry module offers authentic and situated experiences for designing sustainable solutions inspired by and in harmony…

We investigated methods to enhance the generalizability of large language models (LLMs) designed to classify dimensions of collaborative discourse during small group work. Our research utilized five diverse datasets that spanned various grade levels, demographic groups, collaboration settings, and curriculum units. We explored different model…

High-quality feedback requires understanding of a student's work, insights into what concepts would help them improve, and language that matches the preferences of the specific teaching team. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate coherent feedback, adapting these responses to align with specific teacher preferences remains an open…

Deep learning models for text classification have been increasingly used in intelligent tutoring systems and educational writing assistants. However, the scarcity of data in many educational settings, as well as certain imbalances in counts among the annotated labels of educational datasets, limits the generalizability and expressiveness of…

Mathematical modeling tasks can engage students in ways in which they see themselves as mathematicians capable of using mathematics to solve real-world and complex problems. As mathematics teacher educators and researchers, the authors collaborated with two 5th-grade teachers, Liz and Anna (pseudonyms), focusing on equitable practices that foster…

Disruptions in today's higher education landscape require a different approach to community college leadership. Fostering innovation demands leaders adopt practices that seed an innovative mindset and build an innovative culture more resilient to changing circumstances. Using the Innovator's DNA model provides actionable strategies for…

In "Collaborative Thinking," Sarah K. A. Pfatteicher offers an insightful guide to the transformative potential of consortial thinking in higher education. With extensive experience leading one of the largest and oldest higher education consortia, Pfatteicher presents a framework for fostering collaboration that transcends the…

The present study aimed to explore the mediating role of subjective academic well-being in the relationship between the three dimensions of mathematical resilience (value, struggle, and growth) and mathematical modeling competency among fifth grade students, as well as the moderating effect of gender on this relationship. The participants in this…

This conceptual paper describes the development of an adaptive intervention model for coaching, AIM Coaching. AIM Coaching is designed for middle-school instructional leaders to support teachers' implementation of evidence-based literacy practices within a Tier-1, school-wide literacy model. It is guided by a theory of change that links…

The application potential of the metaverse as an emerging technology in education has sparked widespread attention globally. A systematic review was conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses method, which yielded 43 relevant articles from a total of 527 articles to examine the current status and the…

The purpose of the current study is to design, implement and evaluate a pedagogical model for skill training integrated with entrepreneurship for sustainability. In this regard, the nature of sustainability, entrepreneurship and integrated skill training, as well as the models of sustainability and entrepreneurship training developed in the…

Traditional assessment design focuses on outcomes and often disregards how students perceive their abilities, process emotions, or self-express. This indifference can undermine assessment outcomes and evaluation reliability (Hattie, 2023; Nilson, 2023; Reibel 2022). This paper introduces "empathetic assessment design" (EAD), a framework…

Pyramidal training is an effective model for disseminating behavior analytic skills. However, pyramidal training in research is often conducted in controlled university settings. Further, research that has evaluated the effectiveness of pyramidal training in classroom settings (see Pence et al. 2014) often focuses on improving the use of one…

Background/purpose: This study aims to analyze students' ability to solve differential calculus problems in relation to their prior mathematical knowledge (PMK). Materials/methods: A qualitative research design method was employed. Participants in this study were 103 third-semester students at the university enrolled in the Differential Calculus…

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, also known as EDI, is one of several acronyms that refer to policies and practices of organizations, such as K to 12 school boards and post-secondary institutions, to promote inclusive and equitable environments. While EDI has become a ubiquitous discourse in educational administration, its impact extends into…
