This research aimed to conduct a study to develop an educational innovation called "Online Self-Training Program to Empower Teachers' Learning into Practice: The Case of Flipped Classroom Learning Management," efficiently using the Research and Development (R&D) methodology. This online self-training program consists of two projects:…

Cyberbiosecurity and workforce development in agriculture and the life sciences (ALS) is a growing area of need in the curriculum in higher education. Students that pursue majors related to ALS often do not include training in cyber-related concepts or expose the 'hidden curriculum' of seeking internships and jobs. Exposing students through…

This paper sets out the importance of teaching contextualized understandings of value within different disciplinary contexts in order to enhance employability and to foster greater levels of engagement with enterprise and entrepreneurship education. Key research has recognised the broader benefits of enterprise and entrepreneurship education,…

In this collaborative professor-student contribution, an experiential nature-based university psychology course is described and discussed. Existing scholarship on experiential environmental education informed the course, with the overall aim of educating the "whole student". Experiential environmental education has been identified as…

Time constraints and the pressure to prioritize ELA and mathematics appear to drive teachers' planning and allotment of instructional time, especially given the widening post-pandemic needs of students. This prioritization can often lead to limited time for social studies instruction. Additionally, high-quality social studies resources (such as…

A qualitative case study research design was used to examine American female elementary students' perceptions about mathematics before and after participating in a math practices workshop designed specifically for females. The workshop sought to address perceived barriers to learning math by applying math concepts to real-life situations while…

This paper deals with an integration of STEM education and project-based learning (PBL) by introducing a hybrid hardware/software-based learning platform covering eight learning units. PBL not only bridges the gap between theory and practice, but also focuses on improving students' soft skills, which is important as they prepare for further…

This paper details experiential and active learning activities at two levels. The first level, a graduate-level course on Work and Family, had students create a lesson plan on work and family, spillover, and conflict and include an active learning component within various undergraduate-level courses already offered. This assignment allowed the…

This mixed methods study investigates student learning outcomes from undergraduate STEM and non-STEM courses, employing farm-situated place-based experiential learning (PBEL) modules at a private liberal arts university in the Midwest.
