The rise of AI in educational assessments has significantly enhanced efficiency and accuracy. However, it also introduces critical ethical challenges, including bias in grading, data privacy risks, and accountability gaps. These issues can undermine trust in AI-driven assessments and compromise educational fairness, making a structured ethical…

Problem based learning (PBL), though recognized as beneficial to student development, faces implementation challenges in engineering education. We conducted a Delphi study with PBL and (aerospace) engineering domain experts to understand challenges around learning outcomes, problem design, facilitation, and assessment. The context for the study…

This qualitative exploratory study explored the individual processes of five PSTs as they interacted with AI, evaluated AI-generated lesson plans, and how they perceived AI's affordances and constraints. Drawing from the concept of AI literacy, this study provided an in-depth analysis of PSTs' evaluation processes and perceptions on designing with…

Promoting lifelong learning among senior citizens is essential for fostering their confidence and independence. However, the absence of systematic planning and clear definitions of lifelong learning poses challenges in objectively assessing its efficacy. This study aims to establish evaluation criteria and develop a comprehensive health promotion…

This review addresses the current knowledge on inclusive education suggesting that many studies focus on predetermined groups of disadvantaged learners . This review aims 1) to map the research on inclusive education for all (IEFA) and 2) to assess the consistency of studies in their approach to inclusive education (IE), research methodology and…

Co-design as an effective tool in supporting partnerships is experiencing a renaissance in contemporary Initial Teacher Education (ITE) policy reform. While not a new construct, the current re-use of co-design represents a contemporary shift in collaboration, emphasising inclusivity and adaptability by integrating critical thinking and…

To ensure that AI education is not limited to STEM classrooms and is integrated into various disciplines, it is crucial to prepare non-STEM teachers who can play a significant role in making AI concepts accessible to a wider range of students in their respective subject areas. This study examines English Language Arts (ELA) teachers' confidence…

Despite the economic and social returns of higher education for rural individuals and communities, college enrollment and college completion rates remain low in rural areas. Families in these regions often cite barriers such as geography, finances, and fears of leaving home as obstacles to college attendance and completion. In addition,…

Research and educational programs in instructional design in higher education have traditionally focused on knowledge and skills, with less emphasis on professional identity, particularly dispositions and aspirations. This qualitative study explores students' professional identity and dispositions through future-oriented reflections in a…

The purpose of this study is to unveil pre-service teachers' (PSTs') competencies and the challenges they encounter when designing 5E inquiry-based integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (iSTEM) lessons, as well as their perspectives on the underlying factors for these challenges. Data were collected through lesson plans and…

This handbook provides a systematic overview of language education from the perspective of internationalization. Internationalization includes but also goes beyond the integration of intercultural and international perspectives, practices, and dispositions into education with the objective of improving, pluralizing, and decolonizing pedagogy and…

In the current conceptualisations of Problem Based Learning and how we practice it, the students are expected to possess the necessary academic competencies in order to study through PBL. However, a desk research reveals that students in many cases don't have the necessary understanding or conceptual comprehension of disciplines such as problem…

Addressing ways in which systemic injustices manifest in learning environments has been a significant challenge to the field of informal science learning (ISL). The dominant discourses of equity are framed around calls for inclusion and the extension of rights for quality learning opportunities for all youth. In this paper, we move beyond…

My multi-article dissertation explores the utility of immersive media like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) in design learning and education, particularly as we recover from the social, technological, and cultural disruptions caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Chapter 2 clarifies how the multiple modalities…

This capstone is an exploration of an online learning environment for teachers to receive professional learning at any time, anywhere. The focus of this capstone was to design a series of self-paced, asynchronous learning courses to help teachers implement one-to-one Chromebooks in the Fayette County Public School District. Additionally, the…
