Adler emphasized social interest as a social adaptive lifestyle. The study used a nudge strategy to generate social interest in middle school students through a volunteer program. If student gets a good reward for volunteering, it can be a nudge naturally toward social interest. The dependent variables for the volunteer program as a nudge are…

Objective: Although role-play is a common pedagogic strategy in sexuality education, there has been little guidance to help educators in crafting and facilitating effective role-plays. This integrative review summarises existing literature on the effects and effectiveness of role-play, who may benefit from role-play, and what guidelines exist to…

A supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program provides the opportunity for agricultural education students to apply their classroom and leadership experiences to a real-world, contextualized setting. In 2015, the National Council for Agricultural Education developed the SAE for All initiative to encourage all students to develop and maintain…

Prevalence rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across the globe and lifespan suggest that law enforcement officers (LEOs) are likely to interact with autistic people in their professional duties. In developed countries, LEOs have professional encounters with autistic individuals, and research strongly supports LEOs need training to increase…

Purpose: This study aims to advance the understanding of service-learning within the context of Malaysian higher education, employing multiple qualitative approaches to source information relating to student perspectives whilst critically analysing findings through triangulation. The study explores how service-learning is conceptualized,…

Beyond correlational studies exploring the benefits of nature exposure, there have been studies assessing interventions that aim to improve nature connection in children and adolescents. A feeling of connection with nature or 'nature connectedness' describes our attitude towards nature, primarily reflecting the emotional, cognitive, and…

With the promotion of STEM education and active practice, experiential learning has become a crucial instructional design strategy. Experiential learning emphasizes a student-centered learning model, encouraging students to explore unknown fields through individual and team collaborative efforts. Through practical activities, it promotes active…

Background: A growing body of research has indicated the importance of implementing community mental health initiatives in universities to promote student mental health and well-being. Designing and implementing community-based initiatives on campus can facilitate improved student well-being in a cost-effective way. Purpose: This paper provides a…

Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) has been a critical component of School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE) for decades. Formally called the 'home project', Rufus Stimson developed the concept of SAE in the early 20th century. This work-based learning concept provides students with experiential instruction that strengthens their…

Studies in the career development of youth identify middle school as the optimum time for career exploration, as it advances young adolescents' self-awareness, knowledge of prospective careers, and goal setting. In South Carolina, only 5% of public middle schools provide agricultural education. The purpose of this study was to measure the…

Heartwheels! STEM Mobile Outreach is a scientist-led collaborative, innovative, and reproducible experiential educational program and mobile lab developed to engage people young and old in the cardiovascular sciences, improve health literacy and awareness of heart-healthy living, and spark curiosity in the science, technology, engineering, and…

This study introduces and validates the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge--Integrated Experiential Performance Learning (TPACK-EPL) Model, designed to enhance learners' digital competency through a structured instructional design framework. The model integrates the TPACK framework with experiential and performance-based learning,…

Background: Based on the embodied cognition perspective, interdisciplinary hands-on learning combines several disciplines, such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), to improve students' capacity to solve real-world problems. Despite the popularity of interdisciplinary hands-on learning, particularly the six-phase 6E model,…

Occupational therapy education programs use simulation and clinical environments to teach students clinical skills. However, students' perceptions of how these environments meet their learning needs are not known. The objective of this study was to explore entry-level occupational therapy students' perceptions of the effectiveness of simulation…

The integration of digital technology into various sectors has transformed education globally, yet its adoption in Nigeria remains constrained by a lack of adequately trained personnel. This study addresses this gap by developing a Project-Based Arduino Robot Application (PARA) for teaching Robotics Programming to preservice teachers. A Research…
