This paper highlights the design process and implementation for an "all majors" undergraduate course that allows students a chance to reconnect with the natural world. During this course students explore a wide range of biological and physical science based topics that seek to highlight human intervention and our impacts on the planet.…

The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in education has transitioned from automation toward emotionally responsive learning systems through artificial emotional intelligence (AEI). While AI-driven robotics has enhanced instructional automation, AEI introduces an affective dimension by recognizing and responding to human…

As humanity grapples with the increasingly complex global issues we face, there is growing recognition that skills such as teamwork, empathy, communication and collaboration are more crucial than ever -- far beyond the scope of academic success alone. Yet opportunities to develop these competencies are frequently sidelined in formal schooling,…

Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is embarking on an educational innovation program called SUTD campusX to support its future of education.

This scoping review examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into scientific education practices in school settings. Following the PRISMA statement guidelines, a literature search was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, identifying 2892 articles published between 2020 and 2024. After applying the eligibility…

Evaluating cross-disciplinary collaboration has generally been undertaken using disciplinary standards. However, this practice is increasingly being found to be inadequate due to the often contradictory nature of the methods used. It has been suggested that methods that consider the unique integrative nature of these studies be employed. This…

Color has been considered as a special problem in several disciplines, notably art and music, but also philosophy and literature. Given that color is also a central feature of some scientific thought (think of Newton and the color spectrum, for example), the question "What color is the interdisciplinary?" seems to be a golden opportunity…

This article examines the main ideas presented in Newell's groundbreaking article, published in "Issues in Integrative Studies" in 2001, "A Theory of Interdisciplinary Studies": that complexity is a precondition for interdisciplinary research, that interdisciplinary research utilizes disciplinary perspectives, and that…

This article discusses key issues in the integration of an intersectionality lens in the developmental sciences and introduces a peer-reviewed thematic journal issue on this topic.
