Curricular design in higher education significantly impacts student success and institutional performance. However, academic programs' complexity--shaped by pass rates, prerequisite dependencies, and course repeat policies--creates challenges for administrators. This paper presents a method for modeling curricular pathways including development of…

To ensure that AI education is not limited to STEM classrooms and is integrated into various disciplines, it is crucial to prepare non-STEM teachers who can play a significant role in making AI concepts accessible to a wider range of students in their respective subject areas. This study examines English Language Arts (ELA) teachers' confidence…

Southeast Asian countries are embracing updated integrated curricula, such as STEM, which are impacted by socio-scientific, political, and economic reasons related to global educational reform. This study compares science curricula regarding science and engineering practices (SEP?s) in Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese science curricula. The SEP?s…

Integrated STEM education has been widely promoted to cultivate students' competencies to solve real-world problems. To promote STEM education, it is crucial to design high-quality STEM curricula. However, STEM curriculum design is a complex task involving multiple components and complicated processes to coordinate the components into a coherent…

As science education shifts toward integrated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approaches, guidelines for designing teaching and learning episodes that integrate curricular content and procedures from multiple disciplines become increasingly in demand. The existing plethora of conceptualizations of STEM makes difficult such…

The time investment that literacy curriculum design requires, if it is to be truly meaningful to students, is considerable. Crafting an organizing curricular model, identifying appropriate and relevant texts, and purposefully scaffolding instruction can take more time than teaching the class itself. And, given the current legislative policy reform…

All advanced learners deserve a content-based curriculum that will challenge them to learn more deeply and more broadly, that will enable connections to different domains of learning, and that will raise questions about the world. This article examines the reasons for educators not providing curricula to accommodate advanced learners,…

The evolving professional landscape necessitates educational innovation to prepare students for emerging challenges. This paper explores the integration of Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Higher Education (HE) through double-degree programs, challenging the conventional perception of these pathways as independent. Recognising the…

Purpose: Recognising that there is increasing urgency to equip graduates to become future leaders in delivering the sustainable development goals (SDGs), this study presents a critical analysis of a whole-institution approach to embedding education for sustainable development (ESD) in curricula. This study aims to explore the wider reach of…

A knowledge-rich curriculum is a common feature of educationally high-performing countries and an important step towards achieving Australia's education goals. It provides the foundation for excellence and equity in the education system by prioritising and explicitly outlining the essential knowledge and related skills students should be taught…

In this paper, we consider the design of capstone courses to prepare university students for secondary school teaching professions in initial training. Our aim is to prepare prospective teachers to develop an approach for doing mathematics which they then impart to their pupils. This posture involves systematically questioning the mathematical…

Background: This study explored the factors that influence the balance between academic integrity and the effective use of GenAI tools in higher education. It focused on the role of institutional guidelines in enhancing the responsible use of GenAI technologies to enhance academic integrity. Objectives: The study was theoretically grounded in the…

The aim of this study was to develop a learning model that integrated ESD-oriented STEAM with fluid ideas to produce ESD-oriented STEAM-based learning. This study employs the Borg and Gall model which is simplified into three steps. The effectiveness and documentation were evaluated using questionnaires for experts and educational practitioners,…

Increasing access to computational ideas and practices is one important reason to integrate computational thinking (CT) in science classrooms. While integrating CT into science classrooms broadens exposure to computing, it may not be enough to ensure equitable participation in the science classroom. Equitable participation is crucial because…

In this program profile, we describe the development of an integrated, genre-based writing curriculum in first-year engineering physics at a technical university in Sweden. The curriculum aimed at supporting undergraduate students develop disciplinary literacy and an understanding of the exigencies that different scientific genres fulfill, with a…
