This paper develops a model of education production and uses it to study optimal school system and curriculum design. Curriculum design is modeled as a time-allocation problem. A school teaches students many skills and allocates time to different skills based on student characteristics. Our framework provides a novel interpretation of studies that…

This paper discusses the need to develop higher education students as global citizens and presents examples of how this need is met at SJSU through institutional goal setting, as well as course and curriculum design that ensure students' development of global understanding and intercultural competencies. Inclusive and culturally sensitive…

This paper reviews the literature on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as an experiential pedagogical methodology in general education. Using VOSviewer, a bibliometric analysis tool, the review explores the evolution, key themes, and prominent research trends within the PjBL field. The analysis identifies influential publications, authors, and…

This paper investigates undergraduate students' information-seeking behaviour utilising a three-year empirical analysis focusing on students within an Applied Economics module at a UK Higher Education institution. In the first year, students demonstrated proficiency in data identification and analysis. However, they struggled with empirical source…

The ideas of project-based language learning (PBLL) align well with the action-oriented approach, which is considered a promising approach in language education (Piccardo & North, 2019). In this study, we carried out the scoping review of empirical research articles describing the implementation of PBLL in higher education during the period…

The rapid growth of online education has brought to the forefront the critical need for designing highquality online courses that effectively engage learners and facilitate their success in the digital realm. This study explored the key components and practical guidelines for designing high-quality online courses. Qualitative research was…

This study investigated the readiness of university faculty for online/distance learning (ODL) after two semesters of pandemic-driven remote teaching. We focused on faculty with prior ODL course design and online teaching experience, examining various aspects of their readiness: comfort with risk, identity disruption, teaching norms, equity and…

Background/purpose: Learning problems are a common occurrence in the field of education, especially in the context of the post-pandemic era. This study aims to investigate the challenges faced by teachers in learning and the solutions they proposed to address these issues. Materials/methods: A phenomenological design was used in this study, with…

Purpose: Higher education institutions increasingly emphasize data analytics education, yet curricula based solely on competency-based frameworks may overlook industry's process-driven approach. This study examines the process deficit in data analytics education and its impact on workforce readiness. It explores strategies to better align…

Standard-based curriculum enhances quality, and coherence of educational outcomes to gauge the alignment between standards and assessment to meet the diverse needs of learners. The Single National Curriculum (SNC) 2022 was developed and implemented to provide quality education aimed at unifying and standardizing education across the country in…

The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) has published a set of learning outcomes to be used for curriculum design of a one-semester introductory physiology course. The outcomes are competency-based and are mapped to core concepts and skills students should develop as undergraduates. This paper is an introduction to how the physiology…

Teaching Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) has gained recognition in recent years, with various organizations emphasizing the need to take responsibility in training their researchers in RCR. However, differing perspectives on RCR education result in a variety of practices, making it unclear what approach is most effective. As part of two…

Understanding the factors associated with variation in the implementation of educational programs has emerged as a key research focus, in an effort to identify how promising programs can be scaled up across their targeted contexts. The current study explored demographic-related variation in program dosage using a novel source of implementation…

To increase students' sense of ownership, the present study incorporated elements of Challenge-based learning (CBL) into a mechanical engineering course. CBL is a desirable pedagogy adopted by many universities of technology. Although the boundaries and constraints of a regular course hinder the application of CBL, some of its benefits can be…

This article discusses the key elements of the Data Science Technology course offered to postgraduate students enrolled in the Master of Data Science program. This course complements the existing curriculum by providing the skills to handle the Big Data platform and tools, in addition to data science activities. We tackle the discussion about this…
