This study has two purposes: To clarify how industrial design relates to electronics knowledge and to determine whether industrial design education is sufficient for teaching it. As digital product design is frequently focused on the design of virtual interfaces until recently, less attention was paid to the design of physical interactions and…

The making of mathematical connections in the classroom plays a dual role. While many studies highlight the importance of connections for the learning of mathematics, others inform of students' difficulties associated with the making of connections. This study aims to characterise the mathematical connections that arise in habitual classroom…

For the authors, this modernization meant both committing to asynchronous delivery and…

Design science research (DSR) produces knowledge via the design and evaluation of innovative solutions to real-world problems. DSR provides an improved understanding of how and why the solutions work. While DSR is being widely embraced in many research disciplines, its educational pedagogy so far remains immature with little guidance on how best…

Chile's Public Administration Education (PAE) is not a new academic domain. Its origin dates to the second part of the 19th century. However, it was not until 1954 that the University of Chile decided to open an academic program in the subject.
