The integration of biology with mathematics and computer science mandates the training of students capable of comfortably navigating among these fields. We address this formidable pedagogical challenge with the creation of transdisciplinary modules that guide students toward solving realistic problems with methods from different disciplines.…

This mixed methods investigation sought to explore the effectiveness of a stuttering training module with preservice teachers. Stigmatizing attitudes about people who stutter (PWS) have been found not only in society at large, but also in specific groups including teachers. Misinformation about stuttering in educators can render early experiences…

This study was conducted to: 1) ascertain the validity, reliability, and feasibility of a module based on the socioscientific issue approach and design thinking model (SIA-DT), and 2) assess its effects on the entrepreneurial creative thinking (ECT) in STEM education. The first phase of ECT module validation was conducted with the assistance of…

Numerous studies have been conducted to examine the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) in higher education programs that prepare health professionals for their clinical careers, such as undergraduate nursing programs. Even though undergraduate nursing education and radiography education have similarities, studies that focus on the…

This study focused on the impact that online "just-in-time" learning modules had on teacher candidates' beliefs about media literacy as well as their personal beliefs about learning in an online environment with online learning modules. Our findings indicate that the delivery of a self-paced online learning module may be an effective…

This paper describes a laboratory experiment that was designed to improve engineering education in fluids and hydrology courses. The laboratory module is part of a broader effort to enhance the undergraduate engineering laboratory curriculum to incorporate modern pedagogical methods and to improve a defined set of student outcomes. The…

This study aims to develop a science, environment, technology, and society (SETS)-based learning module to enhance critical thinking skills among elementary school students. Employing a research and development (R&D) approach adapting the Borg and Gall model, this module is designed to enrich the learning process of natural and social sciences…

Academic Libraries continuously strategize ways to infuse information literacy into the classroom. The libraries at a large research university created ten standalone information literacy courses in a learning management system (LMS) to be used as supplemental materials in credit-bearing courses. This article will outline the creation of the…

Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) gaps persist in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, as demonstrated by the discrimination, stereotyping, and inequities that historically and persistently marginalized groups face. Recognition of this gap led a transdisciplinary team to develop foundational-level e-learning modules,…

Data literacy, or students' abilities to understand, interpret, and think critically about data, is an increasing need in K-16 science education. Ocean Tracks College Edition (OTCE) sought to address this need by creating a set of learning modules that engage students in using large-scale, professionally collected animal migration and physical…

A doctoral research study using the Delphi method of gathering expert opinions and agreement covering the material and organization of training sessions of cooperating teachers. Researchers sent surveys in 3 separate rounds requesting input and/or agreement on topics experts suggest to include in training modules for cooperating teachers. In round…

Research suggests that a modular approach to treatment and training may be a promising method for promoting evidence-based practices (EBPs). Furthermore, there is growing evidence that the effects of training on specific technique implementation are affected by therapist and youth factors as well as the type of problem area addressed during…

Teachers' mastery of learning technologies is highly necessary for the digital era. Among such skills is the ability of teachers to package learning materials using various software. One form of presenting learning materials with technology is an e-module. E-modules serve as the main teaching material in online learning and can also be used in…

Background/purpose: Collaborative concept maps (CCMs) stand out for their ability to organize knowledge and enhance retention. However, their use in higher education raises questions about their effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate the effect of CCMs on learning of students enrolled in the Master's program in Training and Supervision…

This article explores the design and development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on inclusive teaching. Released in the Fall of 2023, the MOOC is particularly unique because of its intentional use of ethnically diverse voices and multimodal content to include art, music, spoken word, and storytelling. Modules range from Self and Empathy to…
