In a time of intellectual and emotional overload in education, this paper offers room for breathing through a pedagogy of emptiness from a Daoist perspective. It begins by introducing the concept of Daoist emptiness through three intertwining features--generative, transcendent, and inclusive--important for rethinking pedagogy. It then moves to…

This essay draws on empirical research from two studies examining creativity, activism, and education in Hong Kong. We use a decolonizing and deimperializing approach to centering creativity as a lever for social change, and demonstrate the ways in which the specifics of culture, region, time, and place uniquely produce forms of creativity, as has…

A staple of many spreadsheet-based management science courses is the use of Excel for activities such as model building, sensitivity analysis, goal seeking, and Monte-Carlo simulation. What might those things look like if carried out using Python? We describe a teaching module in which Python is used to do typical Excel-based modeling and…

This study delves into the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with Vedic pedagogy in management education, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional educational frameworks and contemporary technological advancements. By analyzing the application of AI to augment learning processes such as listening, introspection, critical analysis,…

Strategies are proposed that promote use of an Integrated Applied Mathematics (IAM) approach to enhance teaching of advanced problem-solving and analysis skills. Three scenarios of 1-dimensional transport processes are presented that support using Error Function analyses when considering short time/small penetration depths in finite geometries.…

The objectives of this study were: 1) to study the components and indicators of innovators in primary school teachers, and 2) to examine the consistency of the components model and indicators of innovators in primary school teachers with empirical data. The participants were 220 primary teachers under the Office of the Basic Education Commission…

This article presents an innovative and generalized CIPP evaluation model for breakdance courses based on Hiphop pedagogy, designed to help educators evaluate the design, implementation, and effectiveness of breakdance courses. Despite global interest in breakdance evaluation, few studies have focused on developing a comprehensive evaluation…

We live in an increasingly worrying future, where researchers are looking at how we can create education for a sustainable world. In this study we investigate what such education could look like, especially for young students, reinforcing hope and an ability to act and come up with ideas of sustainable solutions with no obvious 'good' solution.…

Substantial research has explored the connection between children's spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and their current and later mathematical achievement. However, the findings have been inconsistent, and no comprehensive investigation has yet been conducted. This meta-analysis examines the relation between SFON and mathematics…

This paper explores the experiences of six Academic Skills Tutors (AST) responsible for facilitating action learning sets (ALS) on a postgraduate module. Our research focused on two elements: first, what did the tutors understand by the term critically reflexive practice in the context of business and management? Second, what has supported the…

The knowledge of the materials to be taught to the students is the basic knowledge that preservice mathematics teachers should possess, as they need to prepare themselves for teaching. In order to research preservice teachers' understanding of the subject matter and teaching skils, valid and reliable test instruments are required. Knowledge of…

Social work pedagogy is at a crossroads. A classically liberal approach is being replaced by one derived from postmodernism and critical theory (PCT). As this shift is mainly paradigmatic, the first half of this paper describes the nature and history of these two competing perspectives. Key differences between liberalism and PCT are discussed and…

This article explores the epistemological trade-offs that practical and technology design fields make by exploring past philosophical discussions of design, practitioner research, and pragmatism. It argues that as technologists apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to more domains, the technology brings this same set of…

Photovoice (PV) is an innovative learning methodology that is gaining relevance in higher education, but research about it is still scarce. Case-based Learning (CBL), for its part, has proven to generate a higher level of student engagement and significant learning. Therefore, due to the lack of evidence related to PV learning, the main aim of…

This conceptual article makes the argument that the fields of English language arts and composition studies require a more robustly elaborated theoretical perspective on the identity development of preservice teachers as teachers of writing due to the rapid proliferation of AI-assisted technologies in learning spaces. Thus, the authors utilized…
