The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between students' patterns of reflective thinking and their performance in solving design problems. Reflective thinking is a critical element in the process of solving ill-defined design problems. Many educators are dedicated to finding ways to promote students' reflection. Yet few…

A practical approach for synthesizing functional material from waste material is described. The work was carried out by chemistry undergraduate students as a group project. The concepts used mainly in inorganic quantitative approaches were applied to transform an iron-containing material to magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. The magnetic…

This study aimed to examine the structural relationships among factors that affect learner satisfaction and achievement in project-based learning for capstone design courses in engineering education. Specifically, problem-solving efficacy, task value, teamwork competency, and task authenticity are suggested as critical factors that affect learner…

The purpose of this study is describing the implementation of project-based learning model and analysing the student's creativity improvement in the subject of learning media. We describe the implementation of project-based learning based on our note of the learning syntax during one semester. Then, compared the students' product to measure their…

Although embedded in a traditional middle school, STREAM takes a nontraditional approach by connecting students to the outdoors through project-based learning.

Many laboratory courses consist of short and seemingly unconnected individual laboratory exercises. To increase the course consistency, relevance, and student engagement, we have developed a research-inspired and project-based module, "From Gene to Structure and Function". This 2.5-week full-day biochemistry and structural biology module…

Introduction: A key aspect of teaching is analyzed in the framework of Higher Education that is student satisfaction with the completion of Final-Year Degree Projects (FYDP). Method: A longitudinal study is conducted over three academic years on student satisfaction with FYDPs. The study involves a sample of 1331 students, 1014 undergraduate…

Education 4.0 is a new educational paradigm that intends to address the needs and potentialities of the fourth industrial revolution. Education 4.0 builds on the concept of learning by doing, in which students are encouraged to learn and discover different things in singular ways based on experimentation. This study intends to analyze the role of…

It is important for both computer science academics and students to clearly comprehend the differences between academic and professional perspectives in terms of assessing a deliverable. It is especially interesting to determine whether the aspects deemed important to evaluate by a computer science expert are the same as those established by…

There is a quantum computing race among the tech giants Google, IBM, and Microsoft, including to a lesser extent Amazon and China's Alibaba. Governments, particularly America and China, are funding work in the area with the concern that quantum computers may soon crack current encryption methods, giving the country that gets there first a major…

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the status quo across higher education, including in the domain of pedagogy.
