Although innovation is widely recognised as a cornerstone of contemporary engineering, empirical studies consistently show that undergraduate electrical-engineering students lag behind industry expectations in rapidly translating interdisciplinary concepts into functional prototypes. These findings underscore the need to comprehensively reform…

This study aims to identify the characteristics of implementation and integration strategies of computational thinking (CT) and scientific approaches in programming education, viewed from the lens of educational levels, subject Matter, and research focus. The method employed is a systematic literature review following the PRISMA framework. A total…

Taking the perspective of a language program director (LPD), this practitioner research (PR) study describes how analysis of learners' reflections written for an advanced undergraduate German course in the United States helped an LPD see how students had experienced learning grammar in lower-level instruction. The study analyses a semester-long…

Technology education aims to enhance students' technological literacy. Strengthening students' technological literacy through deliberations on technology can promote their engagement as citizens and encourage them to consider socio-scientific and sustainability issues related to technology in society. However, students tend to regard technology as…

This meta-analysis synthesized 18 qualified studies, resulting in 29 effect sizes. This study involved a total sample of 1,280 students to evaluate the effectiveness of Engineering Design Process (EDP)-based instructional approaches in STEM education. Eligible studies were systematically selected through inclusion and exclusion criteria following…

This study scrutinizes the influence of project-based learning (PBL) and inquiry-based learning (IBL) on fourth graders' teamwork skills and critical thinking in math classes. A historical review reveals that while they have positive effects in multiple fields, their sole use in elementary math teaching is yet to be explored. 55 fourth-grade…

Background: Despite the increased popularity of inquiry-based instruction, there is a paucity of research that directly compares the impacts of inquiry-based approaches on student learning outcomes. Objective: The present field study examined the impact of two types of inquiry-based learning on performance in a research-oriented assignment.…

The use of artificial intelligence is growing, but it's unclear how much it is expanding human knowledge. Peter W. Cookson Jr. discusses the potential of AI use for learning. He suggests that humans learn by making connections in ways that AI cannot replicate. The kinds of experiences that promote these connections require students to experiment…

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this co-authored paper grew out of a graduate course on mindfulness and an extended inquiry into what it means to cultivate mindful relationships in curriculum as lived experience. Centring three graduate students' experiential projects, including two projects of interactions with nature and one project of…

This study builds on previous studies that have examined guided project-based learning in undergraduate statistics courses to examine students' attitudes toward statistics after participating in a graduate-level statistics course that used guided project-based learning as an andragogical technique. This phenomenological qualitative case study…

Rapid technology advancements and global responses to sustainability have had a transformational impact on education in the 21st century. As early childhood teachers in Aotearoa/New Zealand respond these challenges, many have recognised the potential inquiry-based project learning (IBPL) has to transform learning for children through empowering…

Inquiry-based project learning is an internationally recognised pedagogical approach where children work collaboratively to research and discover the answers to their questions through discussion, representation, and evaluation. This paper explores the findings from Phase One of a qualitative study examining how this approach has been interpreted…

The "EdResearch for Action Overview Series" summarizes the research on key topics to provide K-12 education decision makers and advocates with an evidence base to ground discussions about how to best serve students. Authors -- leading experts from across the field of education research -- are charged with highlighting key findings from…

This research explores the relationship between music and visual art through the visual artworks of four Indonesian students. Focusing on eight paintings inspired by two types of instrumental music, the study employs a qualitative multi-method approach, including Inquiry Graphics and Peircean's semiotic analysis, to understand the creative…

Purpose: Researchers have opined that the quality of commitment to pedagogical approaches by lecturers is one of the most important factors in determining student academic success. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the mediating effect of research informed teaching on the relationship between lecturer commitment to use of pedagogical…
