Background: Current methods for interprofessional education (IPE) incorporating simulation for team training poses challenges. Frequent challenges to traditional approaches include adequate time, resources, simulation space, equipment, and trained faculty. Multi-player virtual reality (VR) may be a solution. Methods: A quantitative,…

Grounded in self-determination theory, this study examines the effects of a leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) intervention with work colleagues on work-related outcomes of relatedness satisfaction, engagement factors, satisfaction, and burnout subtypes. Fifty-seven teachers (M[subscript age] = 46.81 ± 7.90), from two secondary schools…

Purpose: This study examined intervention intensity and service delivery with school-age children with mild or mild-moderate speech sound disorders. The commonly used business-as-usual (BAU) service delivery model and a shorter, more frequent, individual model (experimental [EXP]) were compared. Method: A between-subjects group design was…

Quantitative Reasoning for Professionals is a two-semester general education sequence that teaches basic and intermediate algebra through the lens of quantitative reasoning. In this course sequence, we emphasize communication and inference-making while teaching practical algebra skills for students in programs such as business, nursing, and social…

This study explored multilingual students' attitudes towards translanguaging after the practice was introduced in group activities aimed at improving their English language skills and classroom engagement. A cohort of students taking a pre-sessional English course at a college of technology in Rwanda were initiated into translanguaging. They were…

This study aims to examine the effectiveness and value of using Agile work practices to enhance group satisfaction in project-based courses. This study explores student perceptions of using Agile in a group, project-based course to support how Agile can be utilized in higher education to positively enhance group collaboration and teamwork. Surveys…

This study aimed to present a project-based STEM activity titled "Let's Build a Mini Farm on Our Schoolyard." The activity was implemented in science and science applications courses during the 2018-2019 academic year with 28 seventh grade students attending a state school in Giresun/Turkey. At the beginning of the study, the students…

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of cooperative physical activities on social interactions of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in China.

This paper presents a framework for teaching a complete, semester-long IT project management course with traditional PMI-based content (sans software development) while featuring Scrum as the organizing logic for accomplishing coursework. This framework adapts widely-used Scrum practices from industry for use in the classroom, including how to…

The current business trends, such as Industry 4.0, require a modern chemical engineer to know about programming, advanced computational tools, and holistic thinking. To this end, an integrated approach, where theoretical concepts are supplemented by computational lab-based exercises and team projects promoting "Design Thinking" is…

A process for adapting a case study as a high impact practice for undergraduate microbiology classes is described and its use in assessing global awareness as an institutional outcome at the course level. Documenting the student learning of content objectives and retention is addressed. Four student artifacts are assessed with an adaption of…

In this research, real experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up measurements were used. The research was carried out with 20 students attending the 5th and 6th grades of a secondary school in Istanbul. The program is found to cause an increase in the use of refocus on planning, positive reappraisal, and putting in the…

Quantitative reasoning, although included in most science courses, can be challenging to teach. In this article, we explore whether cooperative learning may help instructors teach quantitative reasoning and enhance students' understanding and learning experience.
