This phenomenological study provides a comprehensive approach to unmasking the artist to understand the potential effects of enhanced learning through an integration of the arts, mental health, and education. This research aims to discover a new method to enhance learning through storytelling and counter-unmasking through multicultural children's…

Soft skills, or intra- and interpersonal skills such as writing, customer service, and flexibility, are highly sought by library and information science employers. A perceived gap in soft skills has led to suggestions that LIS programs are not adequately addressing these skills in their curricula, and to calls for them to do more. However, no…

Green chemistry is finding its place as one of the most essential study topics in the curriculum of future chemists and chemical engineers. Experiments that meet green chemistry principles contribute to make the laboratory a safer working place, generate less waste, and allow students to increase their knowledge in new environmentally friendly…

The reasons particular people enjoy science, pursue science, and see themselves as science people, or not, are diverse and complex (Brickhouse, et al., 2000). The ways that teachers present science and value particular ways of knowing and doing in the classroom can influence which students see themselves as science people (Carlone et al, 2011).…

The purpose of this study was to explore the formative role of personal and professional discipleship experiences on exemplar faith-integrating professors at a Christian university in the Southeast. Wenger's (1998) social theory of learning was the theoretical framework for the case study, and Mason's (1925/1989) instruments of education were the…

The engineering design process is very involved, and it is easy to superficially treat some design steps by rushing through them. This superficial treatment not only jeopardizes student learning of good design thinking skills, but it also fosters a sense of busywork because students feel as though they are just checking boxes rather than engaging…

Background: Systematic collection of scientific evidence on the applicability an usability of model and its components is an important aspect of design and development research. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine external validity of the organic reaction teaching model in terms of its practicability and potentiality in enhancing…

This article seeks to put two pedagogical orientations, one influenced by "friluftsliv" and the other wild pedagogies, into dialogue. The theoretical section focuses on three key components: childhood, knowledge, and nature. Next, we frame "friluftsliv" and wild pedagogies and connect them to contemporary early childhood…

Following the American Civil War, several school music series were published to serve the needs of graded schools. These gradually became more popular than the single-volume songbooks previously used in public schools. Yet, school songbooks by Ransom Hubbard Randall and other authors continued to be used in the public schools as late as the 1920s.…

There are few published procedures for teaching athletic skills to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study used a multiple baseline across participants design to evaluate the effects of prompting, demand fading, and differential reinforcement, on the basketball shooting skills of four school-aged boys diagnosed with ASD. During…

Case-based learning (CBL) is a learner-centric educational approach that fosters independent learning and exploration through case analysis, guided by teachers' heuristic instruction. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of CBL versus traditional teaching methods in advanced breast cancer education for residents. In this randomized controlled…

To be a teacher requires that one can weave and unravel pedagogy, drawing on previous understandings while constantly revising them in response to particular classroom circumstances. To do so is important, difficult, and frightening. Teachers therefore need experiences to help them prepare mentally for this work. In this essay Cara Furman argues…

In the current research landscape, there are increasing demands for research to be innovative and cutting-edge. At the same time, concerns are voiced that as a consequence of neoliberal regimes of research governance, innovative research becomes impeded. In this paper, I suggest that to gain a better understanding of these dynamics, it is…

Attentiveness is a crucial aspect in the practice of teaching. As teaching always is teaching about something, ideas, values, events, or objects, it both draws and forms the attention of the students. When contemplating on and looking into the term "attention", it is apparent that it is not at all, a clear and well-defined concept.…

Philosophers of education as well as philosophers, sociologists and other theoreticians are searching for new models and interpretations of teaching, using new concepts, "transversality" being one of them. Some treat the new ways based on transversal competence as an augmentation of neoliberal power and its influence at school, some, on…
