Offering secondary math educators an innovative holistic and process-orientated approach for implementing nonroutine problems into their curriculum, this book defines and establishes practical strategies to develop students' problem-solving skills. The text focuses on the process skills necessary to solve nonroutine problems in mathematics and…

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine how students perceive groupwork and identify patterns of less successful groups in online challenge-based learning. Design/methodology/approach: This study involved 29 university students working in nine teams in an online challenge-based course. The authors applied Volet's (2001) Student Appraisal…

There is a lack of student engagement in science education that promotes critical thinking, real-world problem solving, innovation, and diversity. The purpose of this action research study was to investigate and develop innovative STEM opportunities for students at the middle school level. Participants and data collected in Cycle 1 consisted of…

This qualitative study explored how U.S. higher education/student affairs (HESA) master's graduate preparation programs and curriculum socialized graduates for full time HESA work abroad post-graduation. Participants revealed that the formal curriculum was U.S.-centric in classroom conversations, course projects, and electives. The informal…

This current study investigates the use of online role-playing, in an online discussion forum, in learning the community of inquiry framework -- an area of learning covered in the Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) course, an elective course for Computer Science undergraduate students at Universitas Indonesia. The participants were divided into…

This article describes a novel approach to teaching Artificial intelligence (AI) using artistic themes with a cohort of 20 high school students, ranging in age from 13 to 16 at the Beijing Academy, in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. The elective class was conducted online by U.S.-based teachers as part of an ongoing partnership to provide…

Research is typically taught to undergraduates as an analytic activity with a focus on engaging with externalized data. Rarely are undergraduates taught to inquire into settings and situations where they are close to the data and implicated in the setting. "Exploring Organizational Experiences" is a final-year undergraduate business…

What do grades mean? What purpose do they serve? What role do they play in the learning process? Teachers and scholars have recently begun to re-examine these questions central to our current grading system. As a result, many have started to re-assess how grades are assigned in their classes. In this case study, I examine the effectiveness of…

As companies continue to put data and business analytics as their top priority, universities will need to supply students with the appropriate skill sets that meet this demand and offer future opportunities to their graduates. Although business analytics is a new field, many of the required competencies stem from already established areas such as…

Interpersonal violence (IPV) recognition is vital to patient-centered care. Previous educational efforts have incorporated IPV into undergraduate medical education in the form of standardized patient encounters and IPV screening and awareness, but no semester-long elective that offers an intersectional approach to trauma-informed care and…

The dynamics of the 21st century human life calls for adaptability to diversity, change and the ability to remove borders. Teacher education, in the midst of changes in social life, also calls for raising questions about pedagogical practices that can serve as a tool to make a difference. In this study, culturally relevant pedagogy is demonstrated…

The need for constructivist classroom environments in mathematics teaching cannot be ignored in order for sustainable development to continue. One of the most important applications of constructivist classroom environments in mathematics education all over the world is mathematical activities. The proficiency of pre-service mathematics teachers in…

The study analysed the impact of the flipped classroom (FC) approach on weaving experience, self-efficacy and students' learning achievement. To achieve this purpose, a quasi-experimental (pre-test/post-test) design, with a control group and an experimental group, was implemented. A mixed methods approach was used to evaluate the outcomes of the…

This study reports on the outcomes of internationalising a course on Nutrition for medical students. Two interventions towards internationalised learning experience included: 1) introducing new readings and activities that invited students to consider geographical and cultural factors of dietary recommendations and 2) asking students to suggest an…

The global outbreak of COVID-19 since January 2020 has forced the closure of schools and universities in over 180 countries to control the pandemic, affecting approximately 90% of students worldwide. Distance teaching has been adopted during school closures to suspend classes without suspending learning. Scholars have claimed that distance…
