Background: Scientific inquiry is a widely accepted methodology to promote science process skills. In inquiry activities, students develop their understanding by addressing questions, performing scientific research and interpreting results derived from their research. Developing these science skills to perform scientific inquiries is considered a…

A chemical engineering analysis course was modified to include analytics with advanced numerical methods. The course uses the MATLAB computational environment to develop student programming, modeling, analytics, and optimization skills. Case studies reinforce MATLAB, numerical methods, and advanced optimization skills. Students reported confidence…

Molecular-, fluid- and field-dynamics simulation are becoming more mainstream tools for practicing process engineers; here, the academic community needs to pay close attention to "upskilling" demands from industry, where remote working/training emphasizes the need for sophisticated computational-engineering design tools with molecular…

This article introduces the fundamental concepts and introductory techniques of Taekwondo education, including learning activities, and proposes games using the introductory techniques in accordance with both national physical education standards and the five tenets of Taekwondo.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face milestones in understanding other's preferences and intentions that in turn affect their reciprocity and interaction skills during a collaborative partnership. Investigators are advocating the use of digital-medium-based multiuser platforms to encourage learning of collaborative interaction…

In the context of the "Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021" (HES Framework), work-integrated learning (WIL) encompasses any arrangement where students undertake learning in a work context as part of their course requirements. WIL can be undertaken as part of coursework or research training. The nature and…

Few New Yorkers face a tougher road to stable employment today than those returning from a period of incarceration. Indeed, the unemployment rate among people who have been to prison is almost five times higher than among the general population. Given these long odds, formerly incarcerated New Yorkers are searching for other ways to generate…

The problem identified in this research was that the most-to-least (MTL) prompting strategies used for individuals with intellectual disability (ID) had not been consistently demonstrated in research for personal hygiene, specifically tooth brushing. It has been well known that people with ID acquire skills differently than typically developing…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to investigate the perceptions and experiences of teacher candidates' training regarding social-emotional learning (SEL) skills while attending their education credential program in Nevada. The theoretical framework for this study is Bandura's (1994) theory of personal self-efficacy. According…

Critical thinking skills remain one of the top requirements for nurses in order to adequately deal with patients diagnosed with growing comorbidities, all to improve quality of care. Critical thinking skills are now considered a core competency for all educational nursing programs in the United States. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive…

Today's physicians must be equipped to address the changes and complexities in healthcare. This study focused on medical educators' experiences and understanding of the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL) model, which uses a metacognitive approach to teach physicians to develop adaptive expertise to manage change and uncertainty effectively. Findings…

This dissertation explored the systemic factors influencing learners' technology outcomes in a teacher preparation program, specifically addressing technology fluency and the ability to integrate technology into instruction. Using a combination of grounded theory and qualitative program evaluation, this study identified the scope, contexts, and…

For many academic programs, achieving authentic learning environments is difficult because existing learning activities are often structured around artificial contexts and presented in ways that fail to connect with the students in ways that they perceive have value in their lives (Luo, Murray, & Crompton, 2017). As a result, these inauthentic…

This article is in response to requests that the author provide sketching techniques to help teach young learners how to improve their design sketching. Teachers indicated that, like creative confidence, students lack confidence in their sketching abilities and teachers also often struggle to be confident in teaching sketching. This article…
