Work-integrated learning (WIL) has become an essential component of many university curricula. Recent global disruptions have challenged traditional models of WIL, particularly industry-based student placements, leading to growing calls for new, sustainable models of WIL. Aligned with this call and the increased emphasis on learning across…

Educators are tasked with preparing students for college and beyond (Gómez-Pablos et al., 2017). Project-based learning can help achieve this goal (Gómez -Pablos et al., 2017). PBL engages students in real-world problem-solving activities that allow them to take ownership of their own learning and create real products (Zafirov, 2013). The problem…

Since most Americans have spent the majority of their time at home during the pandemic, and those who are parents have spent 18% of the time with their children, it would be wise to spend the time as a family in meaningful projects and activities that reduce sedentary behaviors and advocate the importance of recycling education. This article…

This chapter argues for the integration of public engagement into language teaching in order to respond to the current challenging environment for language study. "Impact teaching" seeks to develop language education through engagement with audiences beyond the classroom and especially outside higher education. One illustration of this…

This article is focused on the effectiveness of an innovative research-based learning model that employs chemistry-based research projects in developing high school students' research competency and attitudes. The chemistry-based research projects were carried out as a part of an informal program, in real-world laboratories on 330 high school…

Introduction: This paper explores what praxis is and its importance for catalyzing social justice. Statement of the Problem: At times, psychologists have articulated the importance of bridging the researcher-activist divide via praxis, but progress in creating these bridges has been slow. Literature Review: We examine how praxis can be rooted in…

Emphasis on literacy within middle and high school classrooms is not new; however, there is a shortage of research exploring literacy across disciplines, especially in a geography classroom. Using a holistic case study, we investigated how one first-year geography teacher integrated multiple active literacy strategies within her instruction.…

The literature concerning experiential learning in academic libraries generally pertains to opportunities for student workers and library and information science students, along with case studies of experiential learning integration into the classroom. This article details the successful partnership between an academic library and university art…

Project management knowledge and skills are an important component of the Australian Curriculum. The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority calls for the explicit teaching of project management in primary school. However, it is uncertain if teachers possess the knowledge required to provide explicit teaching of project…

The development of STEAM education has captured researchers' attention due to its advantages for students' learning and interest in related subjects, specifically in kindergarten to grade 12 (K-12) educational settings. However, there is limited research on the inclusion of STEAM in higher education, and what university students think as they are…

High school students need to be introduced to and trained in system thinking skills as one of the implementations of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This study aimed to develop high school students' systems thinking skills through ESD-laden project-based learning on environmental change material. A pre-experimental method was applied…

Recommender systems in education aim to help students make good decisions about the direction of their learning. The design of such systems in conventional research has treated the decision making process of students as a black box and assumes the best recommendations to be those that accurately predict student choices. Such an approach overlooks…

The paper presents the results of a survey (n = 279) conducted with the students of an undergraduate design course. The questionnaire inquired design students' preferences regarding educational formats (distance, in-person, or combination of both); the questionnaire further explored the issue by comparing between four types of classes (project,…

Students learned to perform first-person presentation to display information researched through an inquiry process. Teachers helped students learn inquiry during instructional time. Teachers, parents, and guardians worked together to support student learning in a high poverty and low educational attainment Appalachian community. The character the…

Purpose: This study explored how teachers change, what teachers learn and how they learn during the implementation of project-based learning through lesson study. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, three university researchers, one doctoral student and six mathematics school teachers formed a lesson study team. Using a qualitative…
