The study aimed to examine how emotional design and digitalization/mobilization of textbooks influence students' emotion, cognitive load, and cognitive performance. Research samples were 147 undergraduate students enrolling in the "Introduction to Internet" course at a university. They were randomly divided into three groups: 51 students…

The purpose of this follow-up study was to investigate further the expressed needs of Instructional Designers (IDers) from a large public Facebook group. Our previous original research (Abramenka-Lachheb et al., 2021a) reported that IDers expressed needs during the pandemic in several categories, including: (1) educational technology, (2)…

This article reflects on 4 years of research activities in the fields of horticulture and creative praxis. The initial project was a personal one and set out with a simple methodology of collecting, observing, and recording a specific genus of plants, that of Mentha. But as the specific question of whether a garden can, or should, be thought of as…

This article explores the darker side of appeals to justice and social justice within liberal settings, particularly the US academy, where these terms are frequently mobilized to counter decolonial knowledge formations and aspirations. The authors draw from Frantz Fanon's critique of justice in colonial settings to demonstrate ways in which the…

In this essay, we focus on methodological issues that reviewers and editors commonly encounter when evaluating empirical articles in scholarship of teaching and learning in management education. We organize our discussion around three stages--design, analysis, and reporting. The essay identifies which types of issues are likely to receive…

Workplaces increasingly have enlisted their subject matter experts to construct online, asynchronous slideware lessons with simplified authoring tools. However, these subject matter experts lack instructional design knowledge and often transfer in-person slide lessons to an online format with few modifications and assume learners automatically…

This study focused on the digital design practices of Raul, a 15-year-old participant at a summer video game design camp for adolescents. As Raul developed his original game, "You Will Perish," I wondered what his design process might reveal about (a) the practice of affectively and procedurally literate video game design and (b) the…

This study explores the impact of design thinking education on critical thinking skills among undergraduate (science, technology, engineering, and math) STEM students. The research adopted a correlational, case-control design to analyze the relationship between participation and design thinking education and critical thinking levels among…

There is growing consensus that data-informed decision-making through human-centered inquiry and design process results in improved outcomes for designed artifacts. Among the latest trends is a group of tools and processes loosely assimilated under the umbrella term, "design thinking." These "designerly ways of knowing" are…

Transparent design has been promoted as a teaching pedagogy to promote student success, especially among marginalized student populations. This study seeks to understand the impact of participation in a transparently designed course on low-income students self-reported levels of academic self-efficacy and employer-valued skills in Washington…

The 21st-century global economy has significantly changed the landscape of the American workplace. Apprenticeship training programs are gaining momentum as a postsecondary training approach to fill growing worker shortages for industry-specific needs and prepare workers for new or expanding industries (Fitzpayne & Pollack, 2018; Freyer et al.,…

The design and analysis of experiments (DOE) has historically been an important part of an education in statistics, and with the increasing complexity of modern production processes and the advent of large-scale online experiments, it continues to be highly relevant. In this article, we provide an extensive review of the literature on DOE…

Both emotions and digital storytelling (DST) have an important role in learning-teaching processes. Emotions are also important for DST. There is currently much interest in how emotion and DST are addressed together in education, how relations are established, how they are grounded and what the outcomes are. There is a need for a systematic review…

Entrepreneurship is crucial for economic growth and employment, but conventional didactical approaches appear ineffective. Effective approaches should include experiential learning from real problems. The serious game under study was developed in the context of entrepreneurship training for construction workers (at European Quality Framework…

In this article, we develop and evaluate a novel system and computing platform to structure, measure, and improve student development using points. We define student development broadly as the achievement of learning to do, know, live together, and be. The system leverages individual agency, social influences, content generation and sharing,…
