This paper proposes a conceptual framework for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the curriculum. It builds on previous conceptual papers, which provided initial suggestions on integrating AI into teaching. The approach to developing the conceptual framework includes drawing on existing frameworks, AI literature, and case studies from…

Climate change caused predominately by carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel use is a critical issue for our future. It is incumbent on science educators to learn about it and teach it in ways that illustrate the power of science to understand climatic changes and model past, present, and possible climate futures. It is equally important for…

When we imagine the work of a data analyst, we often picture meaningful data analysis and beautiful data visualizations. Although that is an exciting part of the job, data analysts actually spend the majority of their time acquiring, cleaning, and preparing data for analysis.

Previous research has identified an unfilled gap between, on the one hand, mathematical prerequisites needed for a formal treatment of least squares and, on the other hand, only teaching procedural aspects of curve fitting. As a response to this, the present study explores students' suggestions of how they think a computer or calculator does curve…

Objective: To examine the influence of dynamic and trending descriptive norms on increasing physical activity and decreasing the sedentary behaviors of university students while on campus.
