We describe an intentionally designed, cross-disciplinary curriculum that promotes a broad humanistic understanding of the process of science, and how this curriculum supported graduation in science and mathematics. Combining the expertise of philosophers, sociologists, and social psychologists with that of scientists, this cross-disciplinary…

This study uses the Swedish Science Studies course to examine teaching approaches in sustainability education. 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…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sustainability-focused, cocurricular, interdisciplinary programming for graduate students at creating future leaders in sustainability, i.e. did interdisciplinary sustainability programming further prepared graduate students in sustainability leadership beyond the scope of 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…

This paper reviews the literature on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as an experiential pedagogical methodology in general education. Using VOSviewer, a bibliometric analysis tool, the review explores the evolution, key themes, and prominent research trends within the PjBL field. The analysis identifies influential publications, authors, and…

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 paper examines how purposeful cross-curricular choices for students, notably Emergent Bilingual students, create a rich learning environment and opportunities for students to thrive. It examines the intersection of U.S. History Studies Since 1877 and American literature, which often converge in Grade 11, and proposes the implementation of the…

The purpose of this cross-case analysis is to understand how mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) educators integrated social justice (SJ)-oriented computer science (CS) instruction into middle school classrooms. An integrated curriculum synthesises content and methods from two or more fields to teach curricular concepts and solve complex…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

Given little research using meta-analysis for SSI-based interventions and their limitations (e.g. data selection and analysis processes), further study is needed to validate previous findings and provide a broader sense of the effectiveness of SSI-based interventions in promoting scientific literacy. Therefore, this study aimed to…

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…

The greenhouse effect poses a significant environmental challenge to humanity today. Research shows that many students lack adequate knowledge about this phenomenon. To address this issue, we have developed educational materials that utilize various instructional approaches to improve primary school students' understanding and attitudes toward the…
