A group involving Métis and Indigenous graduate students from the University of Manitoba and inner-city Indigenous youth developed and participated in an outdoor adventure-based canoe trip in Quetico Provincial Park. The five-day trip was steeped in Métis, Voyageur and Indigenous history and ceremony. This ensuing paper focuses on what is at stake…

Whilst creativity is perceived as an important twenty-first century skill, current research suggests that educators generally do not have a good understanding on how to teach this type of skill, confusing it at times with creative teaching. This paper seeks to respond to educators' needs in this regard by addressing the meaning of creativity, as…

Australia has a long-standing interest in fostering innovation capabilities to drive its future prosperity. However, it has only been in recent years that an emphasis on developing these capabilities has been formally extended into the classroom through the introduction of the Australian Curriculum Technologies. In 2017, the State Government of…

Between 2005 and 2017 yielded fertile ground for research studies and articles about transformative learning and the arts within the field of adult education. The main questions this article seeks to answer are: What art forms are being used for transformative learning, how are they being used, and with what effect? The article begins by…

In this study we explored students' perspectives and experiences engaging in an arts integration learning model during middle school through a pluralistic lens of creative engagement in learning. The sample included N=86 students in Grades 6-7 attending schools in fringe rural and urban locales from small and mid-sized cities in the Pacific…

Patterns of students' time-use can provide important insights into student learning and development in higher education. Previous empirical studies conducted in developed countries do not allow us to generalize findings on time-use patterns for students from countries with different national systems. This paper aims to identify national…

The authors developed a teaching project for students to debate data and workplace privacy dilemmas, formulate plans of action for the use of certain data about workers and job applicants, and apply the law to reach and defend their solutions. The purpose of this versatile exercise is to sensitize both undergraduate and graduate business students…

"Active ingredients" are one way to describe the elements of a program that are responsible for the targeted change in behavior, skill, attitude, or belief (Li & Julian "American Journal of Orthopsychiatry," 82(2), 157-166, 2012). This term assumes a connection between program elements (ingredients) and participant…

This study evaluated the effect of three conditions in which 34 sixth-grade students were prompted to accumulate as much activity as possible during a Sport Education season. Three intervention conditions were assessed via an alternating treatment design: (a) baseline: no prompting of students; (b) teacher prompts: verbal prompts and suggestions…

The process of passing loss and bereavement is a difficult period for any human being. At this particular time, it is important to remember to support the child in dealing with loss and grief. Unfortunately, it can happen that the closest environment, such as family and school is not able to help the mourner properly, especially the children and…

The prompt for this study came about as a result of my previous paper presented in 2017 in relation to examining the role of creative art and link in education, originated from Prof. Claudio-Rafael Vásquez-Martínez work on arts and painting in education. For the present study, qualitative data was gathered using observation and focus group…

The article examines the problem of the aesthetic development of children and adolescents as a fundamental condition for the quality of education and the modern approach to educational process organization in the context of interaction of general and additional education. The authors disclose this direction of research from the point of a…

This chapter presents the history of GSI development as a field and lays out a broad vision for preparing future higher education instructors that moves from voluntary, piecemeal activities to coordinated, outcomes-based certification.

Previous generations of physics students learned how common machines work, as evidenced by their textbook illustrations. Such understanding of machines that daily life depends on seems to be evaporating. In response, for two decades I have conducted an introductory physics "engine cadaver lab." It offers opportunities for hands-on…

The distant magnetic field of a magnetic dipole is usually derived via the magnetic vector potential and substantial vector calculus. This paper presents an alternate proof that is less mathematically intensive, and that ties together various problem-solving tricks (the principle of virtual work, observation that only instantaneous quantities…
