A major goal of science education is to produce students who are scientifically literate, meaning that students can not only understand scientific texts, but also use scientific information to make informed decisions related to scientific issues. Unfortunately, students in the United States have below proficient science ability, meaning the…

Universal Design (UD) involves the creation of accessible, flexible products that are functional for a wide population of users. Our problem-based learning exercise challenges student teams to create products and services guided by the principles of UD. After teams generate their new product concept, a spokesperson from each team pitches it in…

Many mathematics teachers, at one time or another, have exclaimed that "I really didn't understand mathematics, until I had to teach it." Secondary mathematics teachers' knowledge, both subject matter and pedagogical content, plays an important role in their teaching of the subject. Teacher education programs are, therefore, designed to…

Feedback is the key ingredient from which we grow. This paper contributes to the literature on student feedback in higher education, specifically within work-based learning. It provides an overview of the usability, utility and impact of a freely available feedback tool, the 5 min feedback form (5MFF). The 5MFF was constructed for use within…

Experiential learning (EL) is widely believed to lead to enhanced student engagement. This form of learning, however, may be difficult to implement in the large class sizes so common today. This case study describes an initiative involving performative pedagogy using interdisciplinary teaching and learning in an undergraduate class of 150 students…

Over the past 10 years, the Psychology Department at Indiana University Kokomo has worked to incorporate more opportunities for students to engage in undergraduate research throughout the psychology curriculum.
