Engineering design process-oriented STEM activities are activities that involve solving a real-world problem with teamwork by using integrative engineering design and engineering applications using scientific and mathematical concepts and 21st century skills. The research aimed to examine the effects of engineering design process-oriented STEM…

Findings from experimental studies have increasingly been used to inform policy in school settings. Thus far, the populations in many of these studies are typically defined in a cross-sectional context; namely, the populations are defined in the same academic year in which the study took place or the population is defined at a fixed time point.…

Learning spaces, the practices in which people engage, and the representations they use are ideological. Ideologies are coherent constellations of values, beliefs, and practices that impose order on how disciplines like engineering operate. Historically, engineering spaces have been dominated by a relatively technocratic, rationalistic, and…

The paper argues that the different dimensions of collaboration - intercultural, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary--contribute to mutual understanding and empathy. Their intersection fosters self-reflection and reveals shortcomings, blind spots, and prejudices about other cultures, disciplines, and social groups. The course aimed to…

When museums commission green buildings, those buildings are often covered in the press. To understand the educational potential of green building press coverage, we qualitatively analyzed 96 articles about eight U.S. green science museums. We found that journalists who cover green buildings highlight green roofs, material choices,…

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which started in the People's Republic of China in December 2019, spread to the entire world at the beginning of 2020 and affected all areas of social life. Under the measures were taken by governments; education in countries was stopped temporary and art and design education were carried to the computer…

Lecture-only chemistry courses without a dedicated laboratory component present a significant challenge for instructors to reinforce course content with hands-on learning experiences. This is especially true for lecture courses in which students are unable to directly visualize and operate instrumentation. Herein, we present an in-class activity…

The study aims to compare the effect of a structured versus an unstructured educational robotics (ER) curriculum on (a) the frequency and type of programming errors made by students in block-based programming, (b) their ability to debug a programme, and (c) their engagement in the learning process. The authors' hypothesis is that, in programming…

In 2020, because of a pandemic and the subsequent necessary and immediate pivot to online and distance education, physical art and design studio learning dispersed and instantly became (and, it can be argued, irreversibly) remote via a range of university-approved digital platforms. This article examines a study conducted after distance education…

For a long time, rural revitalization has been a topic of concern. After it was put forward in the form of a policy in 2017, it has further received research feedback in many fields, and the education field is no exception. This article is based on the quantitative analysis of the reports in the CNKI database, with rural revitalization as the…

Students in the 21st century management information systems (MIS) classroom are seeking not only conceptual understanding but also methods of communicating that are familiar and accurately reflect how they learn and acquire knowledge. Concurrently, employers of 21st century job applicants are still looking for many of the same skills they sought…

The present study compared a Whiteboard animation with a PowerPoint slideshow. A presentation in each style was analysed in detail for compliance to Mayer's (2014) twelve multimedia principles and Kosslyn, Kievit, Russel and Shephard's (2012) eight cognitive communication principles. An experiment is reported that compared the effects of each…

In this paper we explore the adoption of a neoliberal turn in New Zealand's education system and its consequences, focusing particularly on secondary school music education. In the 1980s, New Zealand was one of the first states in the Western world to implement comprehensive neoliberal economic policies. Some 35 years later, education in New…

With the projects implemented in the 'Design for the Disabled' course in Gazi University 2019- 2020 academic year, fourteen students are asked to develop solutions for the problems of disabled individuals, which is one of the real-world issues, while gaining professional knowledge such as critical thinking, idea generation and learning the…

The literacy classroom is a powerful context for students to learn about their own lives and the lives of others. By integrating lessons on identity and diversity in the literacy classroom, the learning experiences become more relevant and engaging. Not only is this the case for K-12 students, but also for the preservice teachers in teacher…
