Purpose: This paper aims to identify and model the key barriers to implementation of project-based learning (PjBL) in higher educational institution. Design/methodology/approach: Using the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) technique, the study has developed a hierarchical-based model, depicting the mutual relationships amongst the key…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) has become an essential component of many university curricula. Recent global disruptions have challenged traditional models of WIL, particularly industry-based student placements, leading to growing calls for new, sustainable models of WIL. Aligned with this call and the increased emphasis on learning across…

Educators are tasked with preparing students for college and beyond (Gómez-Pablos et al., 2017). Project-based learning can help achieve this goal (Gómez -Pablos et al., 2017). PBL engages students in real-world problem-solving activities that allow them to take ownership of their own learning and create real products (Zafirov, 2013). The problem…

The literature concerning experiential learning in academic libraries generally pertains to opportunities for student workers and library and information science students, along with case studies of experiential learning integration into the classroom. This article details the successful partnership between an academic library and university art…

Project management knowledge and skills are an important component of the Australian Curriculum. The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority calls for the explicit teaching of project management in primary school. However, it is uncertain if teachers possess the knowledge required to provide explicit teaching of project…

High school students need to be introduced to and trained in system thinking skills as one of the implementations of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This study aimed to develop high school students' systems thinking skills through ESD-laden project-based learning on environmental change material. A pre-experimental method was applied…

Purpose: This study explored how teachers change, what teachers learn and how they learn during the implementation of project-based learning through lesson study. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, three university researchers, one doctoral student and six mathematics school teachers formed a lesson study team. Using a qualitative…

Wise consumption can be defined as behavior in making use of all economic goods sparingly and not excessively. Wise consumption behavior is an implication of all activities including the action reflecting behavior that aims to prosper the future. This research aims to describe and formulate an education model of wise consumption for elementary…

Many factors in teaching chemistry influence students' soft skills and learning motivation. An attractive model is important in determining students' success in chemistry learning. This research aims to determine the level of soft skill abilities and students' learning motivation in implementing chemoentrepreneurship through project-based…

The purpose of this intrinsic case study was to understand the implementation of PBL at a dual language campus on the U.S.-Mexico border (Stake, 2000). Project-based learning in a dual-language setting can meet the demand for all students, especially emergent bilinguals, to receive equal and equitable learning opportunities that promote access to…

This dissertation presents a qualitative study that utilized Design-Based Research (Reinking & Watkins, 1996) to understand how an interdisciplinary unit using project-based learning unit on diverse family structures and experiences can shift children's preconceptions about families. In this study, I addressed two research questions: 1. In…

The objective of this dissertation was to explore how the principles of culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP) can inform the design of a junior high school curriculum to enhance science learning by providing meaningful learning experiences to all students. The transformative paradigm provided a framework used as a lens to emphasize the importance…

The understanding of analytical chemistry and its application in different areas of life science is something that should be encouraged for students studying chemistry, and also something that appeals to many students. Life science includes a vast variety of areas, out of which some are more easily approached in student projects. The chemical…

This study explored primary school teachers' self-efficacy beliefs about interdisciplinary teaching practices related to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education and project-based learning to understand teacher perceptions and practices and to recommend some teacher training according to the national curricular…

The development of higher-order thinking skills requires appropriate learning techniques. Project-based learning and integrated learning are learning models that can be used for this purpose. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of project-based learning and integrated learning to the HOTS development of students in 6 private schools. The…
