This article explores an innovative educational approach using a metabolic board designed to enhance understanding of muscle metabolism across three endurance training zones: Z1 (light intensity), Z2 (moderate intensity), and Z3 (intense/severe intensity). The aerobic threshold marks the transition from light to moderate domains and the anaerobic…

University educators are encouraged to be innovative in their teaching practice, and are often recognised and rewarded for these innovations. However, the effective dissemination and consequent adoption of such innovations is still relatively ineffective, despite the development of diverse dissemination frameworks and strategies. The literature…

This research describes the results of the implementation of the Challenge Based Learning (CBL) with the Design Thinking (DT) methodology, evaluating its stages for the co-creation of solutions to challenges in business contexts combined with an innovative institutional strategy in the higher education. This methodology, articulated with the CBL…

The rapid advent of artificial intelligence (AI) is influencing education systems at all levels. Understanding the wide-ranging potential implications of AI, the Indian Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has produced an AI integration manual consisting of details, strategies and approaches to successfully integrate AI in teaching and…

This research explores how boundary-spanning efforts in higher education can be expanded through the digital space and contribute to sustainability in higher education. By employing a qualitative case study design, we examine the journey of a Turkish public university's open education faculty, focusing on how the university has leveraged its open…

Neuroimaging research has transformed understanding of how the brain responds to instructional methods, with active instruction demonstrating exceptional learner benefits. This is valuable information for educators across learning formats in higher education, including in-person, hybrid, and online classrooms. Calibrating pedagogical practices to…

Evidence-based pedagogies to improve student success in STEM disciplines are now recognized, but their successful incorporation can be hampered by faculty wariness of novel pedagogical research. To support these pedagogies' effective implementation, a research team at a southeastern Historically Black College and University (HBCU) provided its…

This paper investigates the institutionalization of international internships in business education through action research (AR), addressing the scarcity of research on overcoming institutional barriers and driving systemic change. Using AR at the meso-level in two Norwegian business schools, we investigate challenges and processes involved in…

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are more critical than ever to help societies respond to the complex challenges of our times. Recognising that these challenges require HEIs to adopt holistic innovations in teaching, research and collaboration activities, the European Commission (EC) and the OECD have developed the HEInnovate guiding…

This study aimed at gaining an in-depth understanding of how "teaching thinking" was adopted and diffused as an instructional innovation in primary schools from principals' perspectives. Using Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory as a theoretical lens, one-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight Chinese…

Genetics is an important basic course in the field of life science, and the cultivation of students' practical ability should be emphasized in the experimental teaching of genetics. How to let students have more time to participate in the experimental practice within the limited class hours? Our genetics experimental teaching team has developed…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to highlight a paradox between inclusion/exclusion at the level of the organisation and classroom practices, as well as between general and disability/special educational needs (SEN)-specific approaches to diversity in the classroom. The authors recommend better alignment between school policies and teaching…

Online learning continues to evolve from computer-based learning to more focus on mobile learning. With this evolution comes the need to develop (and evaluate) instructional strategies effective in mobile learning. This work-in-progress features a description of four innovative instructional strategies adapted from approaches we developed, used,…

In education, looping is defined as a continuous movement where a student has the same teacher for multiple years in a row. This strategy began in the 20th century by an Australian educator, Rudolf Steiner. This type of teaching was a success in Europe and was eventually called the Waldorf School Movement. This movement was founded on his reality…

The flipped classroom model has gained significant attention as an innovative pedagogical approach to teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This method promotes active learning, student engagement, and improved language proficiency by shifting content delivery to pre-class activities and dedicating class time to interactive and…
