The Norwegian Police University College (NPUC) is introducing sustainability leadership as a part of its police leadership studies. At present, the NPUC has no curriculum that contains any literature on sustainable leadership in the police. Thus, our two research questions were: 1. What has been written in the research literature about sustainable…

In this paper we document the various strategies universities have undertaken or are currently undertaking in their Indigenising practices across the Australian higher education sector by screening university websites for their strategies, principles and initiatives. It serves as a vital stocktake, audited in November 2023, for institutions aiming…

This research aimed to 1) study compositions and indicators towards learning management competencies for enhancing critical thinking of math teachers in secondary schools, and 2) to check construct validity of learning management competencies for enhancing critical thinking of math teachers in secondary schools. The sample group was 260…

Background/purpose: This study explores the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4)--which advocates for inclusive, equitable, and quality education--among high school students, with a specific focus on the interconnection between quality learning, learning environments, content, processes, and outcomes. Drawing on Vygotsky's…

This study explores the capability of artificial intelligence tools to generate questions aligned with Bloom's Revised Taxonomy to support educators. On October 6, 2023, ChatGPT 4, Google Bard (now Gemini), and an experienced elementary educator were prompted to create questions for each Bloom's cognitive levels in math, science, and a popular…

Given the high degree of autonomy and epistemic competencies required for university learning, students need the ability to make rational decisions rather than relying on heuristics and intuition. Previous cross-sectional findings indicate positive relations between rational thinking and university academic outcomes, but longitudinal research is…

At the Fifth Biomedical Engineering (BME) Education Summit in 2024, the BME education professional community discussed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a series of workshops. The goals were to identify professional competencies related to DEI that support students after graduation, to outline strategies for including DEI principles in…

The modern day is known as the "post-truth" era, characterized by the widespread dissemination of false information, as well as personal opinions and emotions taking precedence over established facts in public decision-making. For students, as future democratically engaged citizens, to make well-informed science-based decisions on…

Thailand's educational policy emphasizes integrating Sufficiency Economy Philosophy into education management systems at all levels, including teacher preparation programs that develop educators capable of serving as role models for sustainable living. This research aimed to: 1) assess the needs for developing and promoting student teachers'…

Needs assessments serve a pivotal role in identifying the diverse competency needs of adult learners, particularly in the Cooperative Extension System (CES). While previous studies have found that an evaluation competency gap exists among Extension professionals (EPs), little is known about how to prioritize and sequence evaluation competency…

As the need for a quantum-ready workforce grows, educators in quantum information science and engineering (QISE) face the challenge of aligning their programs and courses with industry needs. Through a series of interviews with program directors and faculty across 15 different institutions, we identified the considerations that educators are…

Research on the interaction between curricula and textbooks--particularly the textbook development process--is critical for understanding their reciprocal influence. While mathematics textbooks are typically developed in response to curriculum revisions, textbook research can also inform and shape subsequent changes to the curriculum. This study…

Due to lack of research to track inclusive teaching behavior changes, the extent of faculty application of inclusive teaching practices remains unknown. Therefore, direct evaluation of faculty behavior change is needed to understand the process of incorporating inclusive practices into their teaching such as through the syllabus or course design.…

Laboratory learning has been the focus of significant creativity for educators. Engaging students in "real world" contexts or using their knowledge in laboratory exercises in a meaningful way requires that students are engaged in the practice of science. The role of decision-making around this practice of science, say for the analysis of…

Most core process control courses teach skills little used in industrial practice. In contrast, learning how process objectives translate to control objectives in the form of continuous feedback controls, continuous and discrete logic, and sequential logic for batch operations is more relevant to practicing chemical engineers. These design and…
