Background/purpose. The strategic goal of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy is to develop scientifically and technologically equipped global citizens who are innovators and problem-solvers in a rapidly changing world. The study contributes to this goal by drawing pedagogical implications from examining college…

This study explores engineering design students' perceptions of their agency for sustainability in a Danish problem- and project-based learning (PBL) context. A conceptual framework is proposed with three dimensions: personal, action, and contextual. Q methodology was adopted to investigate the subjective views of 24 first-year undergraduate…

The purpose of this study is to develop a hand-drawing curriculum to promote the students' creativity for Vocational College, so as to study its implementation effect. The participants were 40 students were sampled by cluster random sampling method majoring in interior design from the Guangxi Electrical Polytechnic Institute in Nanning, Guangxi in…

Word problems are a question type commonly seen in math tests and exams. Since word problems are an integral part in teaching and learning of mathematics in schools, understanding what factors that would affect students' ability to solve math word problems may help students understand where their weaknesses lie and help teachers adopt effective…

The study aimed to identify the academic problems facing high achieving students in Jordanian universities. The study sample consisted of (353) randomly selected high achieving male and female students from graduate and Bachelor's degrees at Amman Arab University and Balqa Applied University, who obtained a cumulative GPA of 3.7/4 or higher. The…

The study explored the impacts of the two-day Living LAB urban regeneration idea camp, which enhanced college students' divergent thinking skills and creative self-efficacy. Quantitative and qualitative empirical data were obtained from 35 camp participants from three universities in Korea. The quantitative results of the study revealed that camp…

This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of Pancasila learning with the goal of improving critical thinking skills through the application of the six thinking hats model. The research adopts a descriptive approach utilizing qualitative methods. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas…

The purpose of this mixed-methods sequential explanatory study is two-fold. It is intended first, to determine the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on problem-solving skills, and second, to reveal student opinions regarding PBL. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was preferred in the quantitative…

The presents study sought the impact of gaming on the fear of missing out on social media and compared these variables by the participants' demographic characteristics. A total of 94 e-Sports players, 9 females (9.6%) and 85 males (90.4%), participated in the research. The data were collected using a demographic information form, the Digital Game…

Background/purpose: Although mathematical representation ability is a significant ability and an interesting topic to study, quite a few researchers have studied this ability, and even fewer have examined it through the implementation of epistemic learning patterns based on problem-solving. In fact, this learning pattern is epistemic and makes…

Several studies related to mathematics understanding found that many undergraduate students lack some basic knowledge of algebra. They memorized only a few topics, formulas, and algorithms without understanding them conceptually, even though they could manipulate those limited number of points correctly or incorrectly. In comparison, most…

Learning loss due to online learning has caused students to experience a decrease in their ability to solve mathematical problems. One of the declines in students' mathematical problem-solving skills occurred in the statistics course. Statistics as a branch of mathematics has an important role in training students' skills in processing and…

Objective: To explore stressors among young university students. Participants: Twenty-nine 18- to 25-year-old university students. Method: Four focus group discussions (n = 29) were conducted to explore mental health and stressors among domestic and international university students. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify emerging…

When teaching STEM courses, it is important to introduce state-of-the-art techniques. Students need to learn how to conduct experiments, analyse data and choose the most effective approaches to address meaningful situations. Here we present the assessment of the implementation of a structured inquiry-based activity aimed at teaching students about…

How should universities handle cases of student misconduct? While universities cannot make decisions about whether a criminal offence has been committed, they can judge whether there has been a breach of their own code of conduct. This guidance, building on a UUK and Pinsent Mason publication from 2016, sets out principles and practical case…
