Society is in strong need to change the way in which energy is produced and consumed. To cope with this complex challenge, integration of knowledge from different disciplines is needed. This paper shows how an interdisciplinary educational approach called networked learning combined with sustainability transition theories can help groups of…

The National Leadership Council for Liberal Education, America's Promise (2007) proposed integrative learning as one of four areas of essential learning outcomes students should develop during their collegiate experience. Traditional assessment of integrative learning has focused on the evaluation of student work. In this study, we designed a pre-…

Design literacy is an emerging research field that is gaining attention among scholars today. Credit goes to the growing acceptance of design thinking in various disciplines beyond design. Design literacy develops natural abilities in everyone to solve real-world, wicked problems by supporting the cognitive development of concrete (making things)…

Child environmental health (CEH) science has identified numerous effects of early life exposures to common, ubiquitous environmental toxicants. CEH scientists have documented the costs not only to individual children but also to population-level health effects of such exposures. Importantly, such risks are unequally distributed in the population,…

Typical data science instruction uses generic datasets like survival rates on the Titanic, which may not be motivating for students. Will introducing real-life data science problems fill this motivational deficit? To analyze this question, we contrasted learning with generic datasets and artificial problems (Phase 1) with a community-sourced…

Children today are confronted by a wide variety of stressful and traumatic events that may be overwhelming or may hinder their ability to cope and heal in a timely manner before reaching adulthood and becoming effective members of society. Child life specialists are academically trained professionals with expertise in helping children and their…

Cyberbullying has become increasingly prevalent, particularly on social media. There has also been a steady rise in cyberbullying research across a range of disciplines. Much of the empirical work from computer science has focused on developing machine learning models for cyberbullying detection. Whereas machine learning cyberbullying detection…

A straightforward procedure for the synthesis of (Ph[subscript 3]P)[subscript 3]CuCF[subscript 3], a robust, air-stable trifluoromethylating agent, is reported herein. This preparation can be completed in a single 3 h laboratory session and typically provides ample yields (~79--86%) and high purity (>90%). The target complex is characterized by…

Early intervention is the area of practice specific to children aged 0-3 years old and is often made up of a team of professionals working towards similar goals for a child alongside the family. Many of these settings use a multidisciplinary approach. This study aims to create a transdisciplinary model for early intervention professionals to…

Interprofessional education (IPE) occurs when two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes (Olson & Bialocerkowski, 2014). The World Health Organization in 2010 set the framework for IPE with the expectation that all healthcare education would provide an…

This chapter argues that we should apply Ingold's notion of a 'dwelling perspective' to participatory research practices around literacy. We argue that a dwelling perspective allows us to cultivate research spaces as generative Third Spaces, emphasising possibilities and potentials rather than certainties and allowing the emergence of non-dominant…

What guidance does research provide school districts about how to improve system performance and increase equity? Despite over 30 years of inquiry on the topic of effective districts, existing frameworks are relatively narrow in terms of disciplinary focus (primarily educational leadership perspectives) and research design (primarily qualitative…

The case study profiles the Aiku Centre at Ca' Foscari University in Venice, Italy, suggesting its role as a contemporary higher education institution committed to fulfilling its 'third mission' and addressing broader societal challenges. The Aiku Centre integrates artistic interventions with academic research and organizational practices,…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present the 2030 SDGs Game as a pedagogical tool for the promotion of interdisciplinary education. Based on the simulation of possible world outcomes for the year 2030, the game induces participants to reflect on the socioeconomic and environmental consequences of actions and facilitate the exploration of…

Educators worldwide are seeking innovative teaching strategies for engaging remote learners. This study explores the impact of an online role-play on students' perceptions regarding Interprofessional education (IPE) and the usage of online role-play as a pedagogic approach. An online role-play for introducing fundamentals of IPE was organised as…
