Science Studies is an interdisciplinary course that aims to educate scientifically literate and active citizens, who are committed to environmental care and sustainability. Based on a survey of 155 teachers, the study explores the…

Curricula worldwide aim to prepare students for the society they will engage with in the future. The climate crisis and the ecological challenges facing the global community necessitate addressing these issues within the school context. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these crises, topics are often complex and do not neatly align with…

Purpose: This research is an interview-based study that captures the academics' perspectives toward the planning and design of an interdisciplinary General Education Curriculum for undergraduate students in the Chinese context, using the Common Core Curriculum at the University of Hong Kong as a case study. Design/Approach/Methods: A total of 28…

Background: A key research gap in current STEM education lies in the need for a more in-depth exploration of STEM teachers as curriculum designers, particularly in how they collaborate in designing STEM curricula and their roles within that process. This study selected two high-performing STEM teaching teams for investigation and employed a…

This qualitative case study explores teachers' epistemic agency during the implementation of interdisciplinary pedagogy in an Israeli high school. We examined science teachers collaborating on curriculum design through observations of weekly meetings. Micro-analysis of a pivotal meeting uncovered conditions shaping teachers' epistemic agency. Our…

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…

Ensuring a pedagogical emphasis on practical entrepreneurial experiences and technology literacy is essential across all educational stages. This paper presents a pioneering case study of curriculum innovation in higher education, specifically within real estate and planning programmes. The 'Managing Change in the Real Estate Sector' module is…

Academic developers work with colleagues from every discipline to facilitate learning about teaching, learning and assessment. Boud and Brew (2013) called for academic development to be significantly 'closer to everyday practice' while also recognising development involves extending notions of what 'practice' is.

Ideas of space within higher education are changing, influenced by pedagogical innovation, emerging technologies, and the experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is most obvious in the expansion of hybrid education, where teaching happens simultaneously both online and on the physical campus. Hybrid learning spaces emerge from dynamic,…

This paper outlines the design, development, and implementation of a new Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (MSc IMS) program at Western University in Canada. The course-based program focuses on interdisciplinary education and experiential learning with a goal to foster students' academic, professional, and personal skill…

Gifted learners are usually identified as students who show higher levels of aptitude or competence compared to their peers of the same age. Their advanced abilities often require specially designed educational strategies to meet their intellectual needs. By designing educational strategies that are appropriately challenging and intellectually…

Online distance learning, a modern educational practice, has influenced music pedagogy in the past several decades. It involves synthesizing interdisciplinary studies in philosophy, music, technology, and sociology. In this study, an integrated approach has been developed to create a unique curriculum for an online group piano course in a…

As China's higher education shifts toward connotative development, graduate education must prioritize quality enhancement and structural optimization. This study examines how interdisciplinary courses promote connotative development by integrating scaffolding theory and symbolic interaction theory, investigating their impact on cognitive growth…

This article provides a case-based critical reflection on integrating transdisciplinary knowledge in entrepreneurship education as a framework for empowering future entrepreneurs and innovators . The increased complexity of modern societies emphasizes new requirements for teaching practices intended to equip decision-makers with the tools…

Purpose: Previous research has pointed to a lack of studies concerning supervision training courses. Consequently, the literature has little to suggest, and the research field is underexplored, so questions around the content and design of supervision training courses remain unanswered and need to be addressed systematically. The main aim of the…
