The aim of this study was to model a situation that induced choice between following two incompatible rules, each associated with a different rate of reinforcement. In Experiment 1, eight undergraduate students were exposed to a two-component multiple schedule (training). In each component, there was a concurrent variable interval (VI)-extinction…

This chapter proposes the need to define the qualities of effective teaching in higher education and introduces a framework to assess teaching effectiveness (FATE) that can be adapted by other institutions for evaluating teaching, with the goal of promoting instructor development and growth.

In a justice-oriented antiracist assessment process, attention to the disruption of white supremacy must occur at every stage--from construct articulation to score reporting. An important step in the assessment development process is the item review stage often referred to as Bias/Fairness and Sensitivity Review. I argue that typical approaches to…

Design guidelines for traditional cultural artefacts play an important role in Culturally Inspired Design (CID) activities and design education. In this paper, a comparative study was performed to assess the impact of present-day design guidelines for traditional Chinese cultural artefacts on novice designers in a CID process. In all, 42 novice…

The discipline of film studies often engages in analyses of the functions of filmmakers' decisions in terms of their effects on viewers. Behavior analysis uses a similar, functional-analytic approach toward understanding the relationship between individuals' behavior and the environmental effects that maintain their behavior. Given converging…

The pandemic challenged many of us as researchers, requiring that we reflect upon our methods and make modifications to allow for online facilitation. As researchers who traditionally use Participatory Research Methods (PRMs), we were significantly challenged, to reflect on our approach and the ways in which we may remain true to the spirit of…

South Africa remains the largest emitter of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in Africa. As such despite the glowing government policy documents addressing climate change, efforts towards achieving the targets of the sustainable development goals (especially SDG 13) at grassroots level remain significant. We identified relevant published articles…

Our goal was to develop non-pharmacologic strategies for addressing sensory challenges that patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face in emergency departments (EDs). Search of five databases for articles written in English and published since 1980 returned 816 citations, of which 28 papers were selected for review. All studies were…

This design case explores the design of a learning framework at a museum. Specifically, the case explores the development of learning practices (LPs) for an arts-based learning space and uses these practices to explain and design for learning and deepening engagement. These LPs represent a means for developing a common language across studio…

In light of the set of influences produced by changes arising, among others, from the scientific and technical revolution, globalization and the structural crisis of capitalism, this article reports some results of a study that analysed the development of international guidelines for environmental education (EE) in four historical periods between…

This systematic literature review provides an overview of how higher education in engineering, in collaboration with industry, supports student transitions to work life. A qualitative content analysis of 36 articles published between 2013 and 2023 indicated that this collaboration provides numerous benefits for all stakeholders; however,…

ICH-GCP guidelines have provided international ethical, scientific, quality standards for designing, conducting, recording, and reporting of clinical trials, and are hugely popular in the region. Recent revisions to its guidance; ICH-GCP; E6 (R3) have brought significant changes in both structure and content from its predecessor, affecting every…

This research aims to study the need to enhance the standard of teaching related to assessment as learning indicators and summative assessment indicators, leading to the development of a highquality school curriculum. It is survey research with eighty participants selected using multi-stage sampling. The research tools included questionnaires…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming education, yet many institutions lack a comprehensive framework to integrate AI effectively. This paper develops an AI Education Competency Framework to guide the integration of AI in educational settings through a systematic literature review. Methodologically, a rigorous systematic literature…

Higher education is going through a significant period of change following the COVID-19 pandemic. The increased technological capacity and desire for online modalities are both a great opportunity and a potentially challenging burden. Although they serve the most marginalized students, community colleges are often vastly under-resourced, leaving…
