With the policy to integrate as many young people as possible into mainstream education, schools and local authorities across Scotland endeavour to create the best conditions for learning and support the needs of all learners. As increased awareness of the importance of well-designed, agile learning spaces evolves, there is ongoing investment in…

Curricular design in higher education significantly impacts student success and institutional performance. However, academic programs' complexity--shaped by pass rates, prerequisite dependencies, and course repeat policies--creates challenges for administrators. This paper presents a method for modeling curricular pathways including development of…

In this paper, we discuss the process of reviewing and evaluating course design on an initial teacher education programme in a higher education institution in England. We demonstrate how critical evaluation of practice informed new understanding, strategies and approaches in teacher education and development. In England, policy forbids the…

Most core process control courses teach skills little used in industrial practice. In contrast, learning how process objectives translate to control objectives in the form of continuous feedback controls, continuous and discrete logic, and sequential logic for batch operations is more relevant to practicing chemical engineers. These design and…

Current educational trends leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to provide high-quality teaching and enhance students' learning competitiveness. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptance of artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) for assisted learning and design creation among art and design students. Based on an extended technology…

Authentic dialogue, in which citizens engage with different perspectives using evidence, is integral to participation in a democratic, literate society. Yet participants in classroom conversations and in public forums often talk past each other rather than taking up what others have written or said. How might the design of alternative online…

This study aims to develop learning to learn and self-learning in the architectural design studio. The study considers that one of the ways in which the architectural design studio can be resistant to environmental conditions is to be aware of and manage the way the architecture student learns. The main theme of the methodological approach is…

Student voice (SV), referring to the concept and practices of involving students in educational decisions, has been gaining popularity due to its promising effects on student need satisfaction and academic motivation. Definitions of SV approaches, their variety, and the benefits that various approaches have for students' need satisfaction and…

Differences in economic and social growth and academic equity, experiences, and opportunities have left an achievement gap in STEM for underprivileged students. Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have attempted to answer these inequalities by leveling the playing field or by offering course-based research opportunities with…

The most important teaching and learning method in the architectural design studio (ADS) is the critique session, which is generally employed as an assessment tool. However, the traditional critique models which enjoy global acceptance and are the most applied teaching methods in ADS, are yet to attain their maximum potential. This assertion…

More and more cities and counties fund and run their own early childhood programs, but each seems to operate them in its own unique way. While the opportunity to design and build a new program can be inspiring, the process itself can be painstaking and fraught with second guesses. Unfortunately, there are few resources to help policymakers and…

Learning management systems occupy an almost ubiquitous position in higher education today and may be leveraged to streamline and standardise course delivery. Despite the potential for multiple enrolment, centralised courses to offer efficiency and consistency in institutions, there is a lack of research investigating the relationship between…

Autoethnography has gained significant traction as a qualitative research method in adult education, allowing scholars to intertwine personal narratives with broader social and cultural analyses. This paper explores the complexities of writing autoethnography with purpose, emphasizing its ethical, methodological, and creative dimensions. We…

Occupational therapy inherently involves the application of design and co-design skills within professional practice, yet there is limited evidence about how these skills are taught to students. This study used a qualitative descriptive design to explore the perspectives of occupational therapy educators in Australia and New Zealand on how and…

Modern electrical grids are becoming increasingly complex, requiring engineers who can adapt, justify their actions, and exercise sound professional judgment. Yet, many graduates struggle to demonstrate these expert traits despite strong academic performance. A key challenge in engineering education is locating where learners fall along the…
