This research describes the results of the implementation of the Challenge Based Learning (CBL) with the Design Thinking (DT) methodology, evaluating its stages for the co-creation of solutions to challenges in business contexts combined with an innovative institutional strategy in the higher education. This methodology, articulated with the CBL…

Small sample sizes contribute to several problems in research and knowledge advancement. This conceptual replication study confirmed and extended the inflation of type II errors and confidence intervals in correlation analyses of small sample sizes common in kinesiology/exercise science. Current population data (N = 18, 230, & 464) on four…

Investigating students' thinking in classroom tasks, particularly in science and engineering, is essential for improving educational practices and advancing student learning. In this context, the notion of "Ways of Thinking" (WoT) has gained traction in STEM education, offering a framework to explore how students approach and solve…

This book explores analogue game-based learning in the context of the Anthropocene, addressing an urgent need for educational approaches beyond traditional scholastic boundaries. In the context of a complex world, the book emphasises the inadequacies of current educational methods and the potential of game-based learning to foster collective…

The Innovation Scholars Program (ISP) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) targets the issue of organizational capacity development in higher education institutions (HEIs). HEI's are susceptible to patterns of isomorphic mimicry, manifested where institutions often replicate behaviors perceived to be ideal without developing internal capacities for…

This article describes how four high school English teachers and a college professor engaged in an "instructional experiment" that focused on the verbatim docudrama "The Laramie Project." An overview of the research project is provided, along with selected moments from the experiences of the participating teachers and their…

Open universities can improve learning outcomes and overall satisfaction among adult learners by addressing and enhancing online learning motivation. By applying latent profile analysis (N = 494) and adult learner interviews (n = 16), this mixed methods study aimed to better understand adult learners' motivation profiles in online learning…

The rapid advancement of virtual reality (VR) technology offers significant potential to address the skills gap in agricultural education and workforce development. This integrative review examines existing literature on the application of VR in educational settings, with a specific focus on agricultural education at the secondary and…

Introduction: In this paper, we present how seventh-grade students become aware of rational numbers during mathematics instruction through the social process of objectification when comparing two magnitudes. Methods: Theoretical elements of the Theory of Objectification and the Onto-Semiotic Approach to Mathematical Instruction and Cognition guide…

In every music classroom, nonverbal forces--including immediacy, ensemble setups, and teacher use of space--may impact student outcomes. Immediacy refers to a collection of nonverbal behaviors that communicate psychological closeness. The purpose of this survey study was to examine secondary choir teachers' (N = 137) self-reported immediacy…

This study explores engineering design students' perceptions of their agency for sustainability in a Danish problem- and project-based learning (PBL) context. A conceptual framework is proposed with three dimensions: personal, action, and contextual. Q methodology was adopted to investigate the subjective views of 24 first-year undergraduate…

Developing the next generation of anatomy educators is an expansive challenge that involves developing pathways for established scientists into the profession, and increasing the number of graduate level trainees who are both interested in anatomy education and qualified for educational work. In this article, we present long-term outcomes from a…

As a result of more recent events connected to the ongoing and lasting legacy of systemic racism in our society and the sparsity of research focused on both disciplinary teacher leadership (TL) and centering social justice and equity in teacher leadership literature reviews, this research investigated the ways in which science teacher leadership…

This article offers a new definition, conceptual model, and design considerations for student engagement in community service. This new approach draws on 2 years of cross-sector, intergenterational research among students, scholars, educators, community stakeholders, and service organizations. The article provides actionable insights for student…

In this study STEM activities created with the 5E learning model were applied to 4th grade primary school students and the effects of these activities on the students' mathematics problem solving-skills and attitudes towards mathematics were examined. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test control group was used in the study. The…
