Bilgin, Ayse Aysin Bombaci; Powell, Angela; Richards, Deborah – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Work integrated learning (WIL) has been the norm in disciplines such as medicine, teacher education and engineering; however, it has not been implemented until recently in statistics and not for every student in computer science education. There seems to be no literature on the use of WIL for data science education. With the changed focus of…

Li, Huaizhong; Öchsner, Andreas; Hall, Wayne – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
This paper introduced how a mechanical engineering course was redesigned by applying experiential learning theory to improve student engagement and learning experience. Design of machine elements has been considered by students to be a difficult course. Traditional teaching methods tend not to be effective in engaging students. Experiential…

Buchanan, John; Schuck, Sandy; Aubusson, Peter – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2016
The mandate for living sustainably is becoming increasingly urgent. This article reports on the Climate Clever Energy Savers (CCES) Program, a student-centred, problem- and project-based program in New South Wales, Australia, aimed at enabling school students to identify ways of reducing their schools' electricity consumption and costs. As part of…

Hall, Wayne; Palmer, Stuart; Bennett, Mitchell – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2012
Project-based learning (PBL) is a well-known student-centred methodology for engineering design education. The methodology claims to offer a number of educational benefits. This paper evaluates the student perceptions of the initial and second offering of a first-year design unit at Griffith University in Australia. It builds on an earlier…

Aditomo, Anindito; Goodyear, Peter; Bliuc, Ana-Maria; Ellis, Robert A. – Studies in Higher Education, 2013
Learning through inquiry is a widely advocated pedagogical approach. However, there is currently little systematic knowledge about the practice of inquiry-based learning (IBL) in higher education. This study examined descriptions of learning tasks that were put forward as examples of IBL by 224 university teachers from various disciplines in three…

Redmond, Trevor; Sheehy, Joanne; Brown, Raymond; Kanasa, Harry – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
This paper seeks to compare the reflective writings of two cohorts of students (Year 4/5 and Year 8/9) participating in mathematical modelling challenges. Whilst the reflections of the younger cohort were results oriented, the older cohort's reflections spoke more to the affective domain, group processes, the use of technology and the acquisition…

Sheppard, Ian – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2009
Engaging students with real-world activities can be effective in supporting the learning of mathematics, "whenever possible, real-world situations will provide a context for both introducing and applying geometric topics" (NCTM 1989). Tool making is a way to bring real-world mathematics into the classroom and using the tool is a way of…

Lovell, Sue; Baker, Sarah – Youth Studies Australia, 2009
The rewriting of a first-year university sociology course provided the opportunity to introduce the use of digital narratives into the classroom. This technological change in course delivery led the authors to consider the ramifications of the "digital native" debate in teaching university-level youth studies. The focus of this article…

Keogh, Kathleen; Sterling, Leon; Venables, Anne – Journal of Information Technology Education, 2007
Year-long team projects with external clients provide a well recognized opportunity for students to gain industry experience, whilst being supported and guided by staff to minimize risks. Each group should be supervised to ensure that they have enough direction and confidence to approach a new problem of significant size, without being daunted. A…

Sorin, Reesa – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2004
The Webfolio project was developed at James Cook University to extend students' professional learning beyond what is taught in lectures or gleaned through the practicum. Through web based case studies, early childhood and primary preservice teachers explored topics of professional significance to their growth as teachers. Each case study included…

Kingsland, Arthur J. – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 1996
At the University of Newcastle (Australia), architecture students' design projects, a central feature of the professional program, are based on design problems requiring integration of information from varied disciplines and therefore, rigorous planning and scheduling. The problem-based learning approach has helped improve student outcomes and has…
