While faculty are subject matter experts in their fields of research, they are often lacking the pedagogical training to support student academic success. Additionally, career readiness skills are increasingly a focus in higher education through the intentional inclusion of soft skills or "21st-century skills" in the classroom.…

While learning modules are not new to academic librarianship, student-centered, asynchronous learning modules are an innovative approach not commonly considered within the academic librarianship literature. This article discusses the development and implementation of visual literacy asynchronous learning modules created by two librarians for a…

This study examined the integration of Ottorino Respighi's art songs into vocal music teaching at Ningbo University through the development, implementation, and evaluation of a vocal techniques manual for undergraduate students. Conducted in four phases, it first analyzed Respighi's art songs and then assessed how teachers and students understood…

In this study, Q methodology was employed to explore instructional designers' perceptions of integrating ChatGPT in their design practices. Compared with traditional survey-based instruments that rely heavily on Likert-scale items, open-ended questions, interviews, or focus groups, Q methodology has the potential to systematically reveal and study…

Design-based research is a methodological approach that has been applied in the field of educational technology since the beginning of this century. The main aim of this article was to explore its use in the field of educational research, specifically in the context of higher education during the 5-year period from 2019 to 2023, coinciding with…

This scoping review examines the impact of blended learning, especially the dichotomy of synchronous and asynchronous, on equity in higher education. Employing the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework, the literature is systematically reviewed to understand how these educational paradigms can facilitate or hinder equitable learning experiences,…

This research aims to examine recent studies on the dimensions necessary for developing mathematical modelling instruction and established frameworks used in teaching mathematical modelling. The study followed the steps outlined as such: identification, screening, eligibility, inclusion, and data analysis throughout three search engines: ERIC,…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the perceptions of students about learning science and physics using the engineering design process (EDP). Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a mixed-methods research design: The quantitative session features a pre-post-test control group study. In the qualitative aspect, the study conducted…

This qualitative exploratory study explored the individual processes of five PSTs as they interacted with AI, evaluated AI-generated lesson plans, and how they perceived AI's affordances and constraints. Drawing from the concept of AI literacy, this study provided an in-depth analysis of PSTs' evaluation processes and perceptions on designing with…

Research and educational programs in instructional design in higher education have traditionally focused on knowledge and skills, with less emphasis on professional identity, particularly dispositions and aspirations. This qualitative study explores students' professional identity and dispositions through future-oriented reflections in a…

The purpose of this study is to unveil pre-service teachers' (PSTs') competencies and the challenges they encounter when designing 5E inquiry-based integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (iSTEM) lessons, as well as their perspectives on the underlying factors for these challenges. Data were collected through lesson plans and…

Although online courses have been a part of academia for nearly 30 years, they are still perceived as "different" than face-to-face instruction. Through in-depth interviews with four instructors, we explored how STEM faculty approach teaching asynchronous online undergraduate STEM courses. The faculty interviewed for this study viewed…

This paper reports on a novel corequisite design and implementation for College Algebra at Florida International University. The corequisite course uses online, just-in-time, prerequisite assignments delivered on an open-educational platform. Students get help from near-peer learning assistants inside a math emporium environment. The course…

Utilizing Marsh's frame of reference theory, this article seeks understanding about boys' perceptions of giftedness and how academic and social self-perceptions are influenced by gender and ability practices. The literature proposes that gender and ability perspectives influence how boys construct their self-perceptions and how teachers develop…

This systematic literature review explores the ethical considerations and challenges instructional designers face when integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the instructional design process for adult learners. Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework to examine the relationship of ethics, pedagogy, and…
