As digital technologies evolve, traditional teaching methods in design and art education are increasingly insufficient to meet students' learning needs. While Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has introduced transformative applications in education, its impact on design and art curricula remains underexplored. To address this gap, this…

The term "Latinx" has sparked considerable debate in recent years. This article examines the adoption of the letter "x" in "Latinx" and the language debates this has created. It delves into how this gender-neutral term intersects with and informs our understanding of nonbinary and transgender identities. The…

In this article, I theorize a Black sense of place, from the interior--as geoaesthetic praxis and as a break from being a colonial subject. Composed within the traditions of Black studies and prior scholarship on geospatial praxis, the work draws on the aesthetic, spatial, and pedagogical orientations that emerge from understanding Black…

Interest in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education and design thinking has risen as a way to equip students with 21st century skills, needed to solve complex real-world problems. However, integrating STEAM based design thinking challenges in the classroom poses challenges for educators, particularly in areas such…

International teamwork skills are becoming more and more important for future engineers. Engineering projects with diverse students working towards solving an issue together could cultivate such skills. However, social exclusion may rise when faultlines emerge: dividing lines that split a group into relatively homogeneous subgroups. This study…

In this article, two researcher-educators assert that Black Language should be valued in the English language arts and reading classroom and provide four examples of novels (as well as corresponding activities) that can be taught in the classroom and that demonstrate authentic Black Language.

This quasi-experimental study investigated the impact of Coursemojo, an AI-powered literacy platform, on sixth-grade English Language Arts achievement in a large Texas district during the 2024-2025 academic year. The study compared 541 students using Coursemojo across two schools with 2,786 comparison students across 11 schools. Students using…

One of the basic features of the modern educational system is manifested in the reversal of the transmissive (traditional) approach to learning and teaching to the transformational (modern) approach. The transmissive approach to learning and teaching is that one in which students adopt readymade constructs of organised knowledge through passive…

This article brings the work of cultural theorist Mieke Bal and historian Hayden White into a conversation, inviting the reader to consider framing, re-framing, and un-framing as historiographical dispositions. The concept of framing was used as a substitute for context in cultural analysis. The article argues that the concept of framing could be…

The purpose of this article is to examine the pedagogy and practice of critical tourism in art education abroad. First, we unpack the neoliberal discourse underlying U.S. study abroad programs and problematize the popular belief that a short-term study abroad experience can result in the genuine development of culturally competent global citizens.…

In this article, art education researchers from four universities share a multisite research project dealing with teaching digital game design to preservice art educators. The research project was initially designed in response to recent trends to develop 21st-century skills in education, digital media, and art/design education, as advocated by…

Traditions associated with the physical studio in design education have obstructed translation to an online model. Literature on design pedagogy reveals the studio is considered essential for design education. This perception can be traced to the "atelier" model in the fine arts, in which students practised under a master. This method…

In this article, the author details how art teachers can reframe post-internet art as a catalyst for teaching and learning toward the future in art education curriculum development. The ideas presented here could be adapted to K-12 and university-level teaching and learning in art education, particularly coursework that focuses on introducing…

In recent years, scholars have increasingly recognized the value of the arts for furthering the aims of environmental education (EE). Likewise, art education scholars have noted the affinity between visual art and EE. Despite a long-standing environmentally oriented thread in art education literature, the extent to which United States K-12 art…

This article presents the development and application of group feedback videos (GFVs) in design education. A case study shows how visually-rich GFVs were developed in a practice-based design studio subject where learners were required to work in teams and independently calibrate an ability to form judgements on the qualities of their own work.…
