Many factors in teaching chemistry influence students' soft skills and learning motivation. An attractive model is important in determining students' success in chemistry learning. This research aims to determine the level of soft skill abilities and students' learning motivation in implementing chemoentrepreneurship through project-based…

The purpose of this intrinsic case study was to understand the implementation of PBL at a dual language campus on the U.S.-Mexico border (Stake, 2000). Project-based learning in a dual-language setting can meet the demand for all students, especially emergent bilinguals, to receive equal and equitable learning opportunities that promote access to…

The purpose of this mixed methods action research study was to investigate the impact of collaborative teaching involving a school librarian and a social studies teacher on sixth-grade students' unit projects, classroom engagement, and digital literacy skills. This study's innovation was twofold: academic content was infused with digital literacy…

This dissertation presents a qualitative study that utilized Design-Based Research (Reinking & Watkins, 1996) to understand how an interdisciplinary unit using project-based learning unit on diverse family structures and experiences can shift children's preconceptions about families. In this study, I addressed two research questions: 1. In…

The objective of this dissertation was to explore how the principles of culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP) can inform the design of a junior high school curriculum to enhance science learning by providing meaningful learning experiences to all students. The transformative paradigm provided a framework used as a lens to emphasize the importance…

The GEN10S Portugal project offered 15-hour face-to-face Scratch programming courses to groups of students and two or more teachers from each class, from schools that were project members. Two Scratch teachers per class, hired by the project, participated in 12 of these 15 hours, supporting the activities. When the schools' face-to-face activities…

Pharmaceutical Integrated Experiment (PIE) is a systematic and comprehensive compulsory course for undergraduates majoring in pharmacy and pharmaceutical engineering. This course mainly focuses on integrating the theoretical knowledge of various disciplines into practice, enabling students to master the key processes of drug research and…

Middle school is a transitional period in which many students experience content-specific teachers, travel between classrooms, and explore extracurricular activity options for the first time. Historically, African American middle school students have not fared well in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) on standardized…

The understanding of analytical chemistry and its application in different areas of life science is something that should be encouraged for students studying chemistry, and also something that appeals to many students. Life science includes a vast variety of areas, out of which some are more easily approached in student projects. The chemical…

This study explored primary school teachers' self-efficacy beliefs about interdisciplinary teaching practices related to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education and project-based learning to understand teacher perceptions and practices and to recommend some teacher training according to the national curricular…

The development of higher-order thinking skills requires appropriate learning techniques. Project-based learning and integrated learning are learning models that can be used for this purpose. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of project-based learning and integrated learning to the HOTS development of students in 6 private schools. The…

This paper discusses a concept that we call "'m'-tile means," which are the arithmetic mean of data values that break a data set into "m"-1 equal parts. Studying "m"-tile means can engage students' critical thinking skills and demonstrate the concepts underlying commonly used measures of central tendency, and so they…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe the case of the Valorbio research project, in which students of different high-level programs were involved in the experimental work and in the dissemination of results in collaboration with the research team. Design/methodology/approach: The inclusion in higher education curricula of content…

High school math projects center on solving real-world examples in a wide variety of situations that require a creative skill set. Creativity in high school mathematics takes place in a subtle form. In contrast, creativity presents itself conspicuously in art. Therefore, this paper will explore the utilization of polynomial equations in drawing…
