Experiential learning pedagogies, including service-learning, can be used in the business classroom to connect theory and practice. An increasing body of literature demonstrates a trend toward service-learning integration into the business classroom and shows that service projects can potentially support learning outcomes for business students.…

The general purpose of this study is to find out the views of academic staff working in schools of Physical Education and Sports or faculties of Sports Sciences regarding the physical education and sports teaching undergraduate program. While finding out the views of academic staff, the physical education and sports teaching undergraduate program…

Universities with faculties of education run programmes to produce competent, trained, qualified and professional teachers for the quality education in the country. Taking this case into consideration, this study examined the curriculum of teacher education of four universities from Nepal and India in relation to objectives, contents,…

University programs with waterfowl teaching, research, and outreach in the United States and Canada have decreased from approximately 55 to 33 programs ([approximately]40%). A reduction in these programs may lead to a loss in professional capacity of waterfowl and wetlands specialists working for science and conservation of these resources. Three…

During elementary physics courses, many examples in mechanics are studied without considering air resistance effects. We can mention, for example, projectile motion and free fall, among many others. Only brief studies of such systems in classical mechanics courses consider linear air resistance (F[subscript drag] [is proportional to] v), which is…

The Young's two-slits experiment is arguably one of the most famous and beautiful experiments in physics. In introductory physics labs the experiment is almost exclusively carried out using a laser, and it is introduced this way in some introductory physics textbooks. In the case of laser illumination, light passes directly through the slits and…

For many years, organizations have been challenged with developing leaders. Organizational leaders understand the importance of developing new leaders that can carry the values, mission, and vision of the organization. They also know that those values are an important factor in achieving the organization's objectives. However, many leadership…

In recent years there has been a significant growth in the number of online courses known as MOOCs available via online providers such as edX and Coursera. The result has been a marked reduction in the clarity around the different course offerings and this has created a need to reconsider the classification schemes for MOOCs to help inform…

This report looks at the provision of A level subjects in England in 2019. Provision in a subject is defined as the number or percentage of schools with at least one student taking the subject. It could be argued that this may not cover all of the 'provision' since schools might offer to provide a subject, but none of their students wants to study…

We developed labs on the evolution of antibiotic resistance to assess the costs and benefits of replacing traditional laboratory exercises in an introductory biology course for majors with a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE). To assess whether participating in the CURE imposed a cost in terms of exam performance, we implemented…

Effective class discussions are often frustrated by dual challenges: lack of participation and poor quality of contribution. To address both challenges, we describe an experiential exercise for managing classroom discussion that is based on an adaptation of a classic creativity model. It motivates student participation by generating structured…

This research employs an exploratory case study design within the qualitative paradigm of educational research. The study has been conducted in one of the private teacher education institutes in Karachi. On HEC's notification of phasing out of 1-year B.Ed., the institute offered B.Ed. (Hons) degree programme in affiliation with the Karachi…

As the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to close their buildings, public PK12 educators in the US had to pivot to something they had never done before or been trained to do: teach online. While significant research exists on how educators learn to teach online in higher education and specialty PK12 settings, the pandemic provided a novel…

This report uses Spring 2022 data from nationally representative surveys of principals and math teachers in kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) to explore students' opportunities to prepare for and take advanced math. The authors found that small high schools, high schools in rural areas, and high schools that predominantly serve students from…

In large physiology classes, there is a demand for low-effort, or "light touch," strategies that faculty can use to connect with students and promote increased academic performance and student engagement. The purpose of this study was to compare personalized versus standardized emails following unit quizzes on student perceptions of…
