Colin M. Gray; Marisa E. Exter – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2023
In this design case, we describe our design process that resulted in recommendations for a four-year undergraduate curriculum in transdisciplinary studies. The case is centered on a fast-paced, two-week design "sprint" undertaken by the two authors, which involved consolidating and synthesizing program evaluation data and course designs…

Rogers, Helen L.; Hitt, Sarah J.; Allan, Dave G. – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2021
NMITE's Master's in Integrated Engineering (MEng) was created with a unique philosophy of integrating not only traditionally separate strands of engineering, but also of integrating engineering with other disciplines such as arts, humanities, and business. This broad and deep integration is made possible by adopting the principles and practices of…

Bromage, Adrian; Pierce, Sarah; Reader, Tom; Compton, Lindsey – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2022
Training in research methods is a crucial component of the student experience in further and higher education. A common set of statistical and experimental design methods are taught across a broad range of non-mathematics disciplines, spanning STEM subjects, medicine, and the social sciences. Understanding these methods is central to students'…

Wonham, Marjorie; Derby-Talbot, Ryan – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
The major is a standard undergraduate degree structure in which learners follow largely predetermined course paths with the primary goal of developing content knowledge and skills. Developing the more sophisticated ability to author inquiry is typically deferred to graduate training but can, we believe, be successfully cultivated in undergraduates…

De Vivo, Kristin – Phi Delta Kappan, 2022
A new body of research shows that project-based learning (PBL) can be effective in improving students' academic performance and attempts to define some of the key practices that are essential to PBL. Kristin De Vivo summarizes key findings of four studies that covered multiple grade levels and subjects. The studies found that PBL is effective…

Nielsen, Danielle; Nititham, Diane Sabenacio; Polizzi, Marc – College Teaching, 2022
Much scholarship available on team-teaching focuses on K-12 programming, with limited examples in post-secondary education. Adding to the growing research on college-level team-taught courses, this reflection describes how interdisciplinary team-teaching can offer not only a pedagogically innovative experience for students but also highlight the…

Kayon Murray-Johnson; Bryan Dewsbury – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2024
This article explores the design and development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on inclusive teaching. Released in the Fall of 2023, the MOOC is particularly unique because of its intentional use of ethnically diverse voices and multimodal content to include art, music, spoken word, and storytelling. Modules range from Self and Empathy to…

Fischer, Abbey E.; Immel, Kathy R.; Wilkum, Kristi; Lee, Laura – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2021
The call to increase student participation in high-impact practices (HIPs) to improve student learning, satisfaction, and retention is being answered in a multitude of ways. Faculty and staff involved in undergraduate research see this as validation of their efforts, which it is. However, Kuh & O'Donnell's (2013) work challenges research…

Mixter, Philip F.; Kleinschmit, Adam J.; Lal, Archana; Vanniasinkam, Thiru; Condry, Danielle L. J.; Taylor, Rebekah T.; Justement, Louis B.; Pandey, Sumali – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Immune literacy--the ability to hear, learn, read, write, explain, and discuss immunological content with varied audiences--has become critically important in recent years. Yet, with its complex terminology and discipline-specific concepts, educating individuals about the immune system and its role in health and disease may seem daunting. Here, we…

Ross, Pauline M.; Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy; Pozza, Liana E.; Poronnik, Philip; Hinton, Tina; Field, Damien J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
While biomedical and life science research have embraced interdisciplinarity as the means to solving pressing 21st century complex challenges, interdisciplinarity in undergraduate education has been more difficult to implement. As a consequence, disciplinary rather than interdisciplinary capstones have become ubiquitous. Disciplinary capstones are…

Wolfson, Adele J.; Armstrong, Justin – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
First-Year Seminars (FYS) offer a unique mode of introducing college students to new topics, research practices, and approaches to learning that they may not have been exposed to in high school. In this article, we outline the successes and challenges of team teaching a combined cultural anthropology and biochemistry course on the topic of blood,…

Dobbs, Kirstie Lynn; Hsu, Laura M.; Garrone-Shufran, Stephanie; Barber, Nicholas; Kourouma, Fatoumata; Perez-Castillo, Yarielis; Rich, Samantha – Issues in Interdisciplinary Studies, 2022
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many youth felt disconnected from on-the-ground engagement with their peers, their communities, and the wider society. School closures also impeded progress in some students' abilities to write, speak, and express themselves through various media. A team of interdisciplinary and intergenerational faculty and…
