Huang, Zhenhua; Kougianos, Elias; Ge, Xun; Wang, Shuping; Chen, P. Daniel; Cai, Liping – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: A systematic interdisciplinary engineering and technology instructional model using cutting-edge technologies is proposed in this research. This model consists of four key components: 1) interdisciplinary collaboration; 2) hands-on projects; 3) real-world simulations; and 4) cutting-edge technologies. The model was designed to engage…

Parekh, Priyanka; Gee, Elisabeth; Tran, Kelly; Aguilera, Earl; Pérez Cortés, Luis E.; Kessner, Taylor; Siyahhan, Sinem – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Framing, implementing, and engaging youth in authentic scientific inquiry are highly valued in science education; however, we have very limited knowledge of the nature and use of tools that accomplish these. Therefore, we proposed that board game design is a meaningful tool for engaging youth in understanding environmental issues. We reported…

Hall, LaTreese V. – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2019
Over the past 50 years, the number of alternative schools for at-risk students have increased exponentially. However, the research concerning the students that attend these institutions has been, at best, unhurried. Even more wanting is the research regarding the development and critical evaluation of educational interventions that can motivate…

Marek, Michael W. – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2020
This article proposes a Standard Model of CALL, i.e., a compilation of fundamental theories and practices that should always be considered when creating an instructional design for the Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). This proposed model is inspired by the standard model of physics which is the widely accepted understanding about how…

Gestwicki, Paul; McNely, Brian – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2016
We define and describe the academic studio model for interdisciplinary, undergraduate, project-oriented education. This model brings faculty, students, and community partners together to investigate an openended academic question, and their collaboration yields an original product that represents their inquiry. The academic studio integrates agile…
