Gonczi, Amanda L.; Maeng, Jennifer L. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
Problem-based learning (PBL) instruction tasks students with solving a real-world, relevant problem and provides a motivating context for learning science content. It also affords a natural opportunity for students to intentionally engage in a variety of engineering practices and components of engineering design if the problem scenario…

Caza, Arran; Nelson, Eric – Management Teaching Review, 2019
Choosing appropriate instructional methodologies when designing a course is challenging. The variety of options available magnify this difficulty. For good reasons, educators may be reluctant to implement new instructional methodologies, even when they are interested in doing so. We propose a potential solution based on the findings of a recent…

Day, Christopher; Koivu, Kendra L. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2019
When it comes to research design, the literature largely focuses on prescriptions for strengthening causal inference--identifying confounders, selecting appropriately comparable cases, generating testable hypotheses, etc. This approach to research design features the logic of inquiry heavily, but overlooks the logic of discovery. The logic of…
