A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) was established to help STEM faculty integrate entrepreneurially minded learning (EML), a pedagogy that develops curiosity, connections, and value creation, into a new engineering undergraduate program during the pandemic. Guided by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) framework, the FLC…

When researchers code behavior that is undetectable or falls outside of the validated ordinal scale, the resultant outcomes often suffer from informative missingness. Incorrect analysis of such data can lead to biased arguments around efficacy and effectiveness in the context of experimental and intervention research. Here, we detail a new…

The Policy Survey on School Education in the Digital Age collected comparative information on the digital education policies of 37 jurisdictions (OECD member countries, sub-national entities and non-member economies), covering a range of domains: central strategies and policy co-ordination for digital education; governance and regulation;…

Factor mixture modeling (FMM) has been increasingly used to investigate unobserved population heterogeneity. This study examined the issue of covariate effects with FMM in the context of measurement invariance testing. Specifically, the impact of excluding and misspecifying covariate effects on measurement invariance testing and class enumeration…

Multifinality, equifinality, and fanning are important developmental concepts that emphasize understanding interindividual variability in trajectories over time. However, each concept implies that there are points in a developmental window where interindividual variability is more limited. We illustrate the multifinality concept under…

Course: Communication Research Methods. Objectives: This activity provides students with an experiential introduction to measurement theory and the methods for assessing measurement reliability. First, multiple measurements of a person's height are interpreted according to classical test theory. Second, the measurement of human height is used as…

While preparing to write this article, the author decided to review published teaching cases over the last 10 years concerning advertising and related fields in case journals. He became curious about trends in advertising teaching cases and decided to survey overall trends in teaching cases related to advertising cases. He reached out to 40…

Five years after an initial self-study on my dialogic teaching practices in a teacher preparation course, I conducted a follow up study to see if I grew as a dialogic teacher in the same class. This article describes the a second self-study of my dialogic teaching practices in an English methods course, and compares findings with the initial…

Having started from theoretical premises, the following study showed the results obtained by research work carried out on the use of artistic methodologies in the educational designs inventoried in the database of the Spanish Heritage Education Observatory (SHEO). This article's aim was to understand and learn about the use of artistic techniques…

In this article we focus on note taking as a practice that is fundamental to (higher) education. We argue that note-taking should not primarily be regarded as a method that supports effective learning, but as formative of the student herself (making her attentive and granting possibilities for self-transformation). Hence it is a practice that has…

Background/Context: Neoliberalism has both feet firmly planted in educational contexts around the globe (United States, Australia, United Kingdom). Due to the precarious nature of unstructured play and its unwillingness to fit neatly into a neoliberal framework of quality and high returns on investments, play for play's sake has taken a backseat…

Monte Carlo methods are an accepted methodology in regards to generation critical values for a Maximum test. The same methods are also applicable to the evaluation of the robustness of the new created test. A table of critical values was created, and the robustness of the new maximum test was evaluated for five different distributions. Robustness…

Building information modeling (BIM) is becoming more widely used in higher education due to changing industry demands. As a digital representation of a facility's characteristics, BIM promotes cost-effective facility planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sustainability initiatives. Additionally, it assists educational institutions in…

Inquiry-based teaching is the most widespread approach in science education worldwide. However, in Peru, this model became better known since the latest curriculum reform in 2016, which proposed implementing that teaching approach at all levels of schooling. Since then, no literature review has been conducted on the status quo of implementing…

Bayesian methods have been said to solve small sample problems in frequentist methods by reflecting prior knowledge in the prior distribution. However, there are dangers in strongly reflecting prior knowledge or situations where much prior knowledge cannot be used. In order to address the issue, in this article, we considered to apply two Bayesian…
