Juuso Henrik Nieminen; Eeva Haataja; Peter J. Cobb – Teaching in Higher Education, 2025
This study examines how authentic assessment could nurture students' epistemic agency: their sense of agency in using, evaluating and producing knowledge. Authentic assessment commonly emphasises 'realism' and 'employability skills'. As important as these ideas are, this approach to authentic assessment neglects the key academic value of…

Fazal, Tanisha M.; Sanchez, Maria – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
We report on the development and use of a course-long, online simulation in a recent, upper-level undergraduate course on the International Relations of COVID-19. We demonstrate how to conduct a simulation in an entirely online environment by including a description of our processes and logistical advice, guidance, and specific examples. This…

Yanyan Sun; Chengjun Feng; Di Peng; Bian Wu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Both learning and problem solving are major goals of complex problem solving in engineering education. The order of knowledge construction and problem solving in learning through problem solving, however, has not been explained in current literature. Objectives: To understand their relationships, this study compared the effects of…

Chen, Junyu; Kong, Wai Kei; Chi, Hung-Lin; Seo, JoonOh; Kim, Minkoo; Yam, Michael C. H. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
In construction technology education (CTE), construction site tours play an essential role for undergraduate students to obtain familiarity with construction environments, combine content knowledge with practice, and develop their competencies to embrace construction innovations before entering the industry. Implementing real construction site…

Pedro Santos Bartolomé; Tom Van Gerven – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
The authors develop an educational simulation game for basic vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) to use in chemical engineering education, basing the design on educational guidelines from the active learning literature. The game is tested in three cohorts totalling 84 students, showing significant increase in a knowledge test of VLE, and positive…

Bindu Menon; Meghana Reddy Ranabothu; Krissy Elizabeth Tarter; Tyrone Deonte Oneal Layson; Deepa Mukundan; Jeremy J. Laukka – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Cognitive science principles can facilitate integrating and retaining basic science concepts during the clinical years of undergraduate medical education. We hypothesized that reinforcing foundational science concepts during the core clerkship experiences fosters the development of clinical reasoning in medical students. A patient simulation…

Mark F. Thouin; William E. Hefley – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2024
The product owner role is one of three key roles in the Scrum software development process. Industry demand for product owners is growing exponentially, and educators need effective techniques for teaching students the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to be effective product owners. To address this need, this Teaching Tip describes how…

Sun, Hao; Wang, Pinmei; Li, Yudong – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Abstract Microbiome study requires both molecular techniques and bioinformatics skills, which are challenging for biologists to participate in this growing field. To introduce microbiome concepts and skills to students, a 6-week wet-lab and bioinformatics course for undergraduates was implemented through the project-based learning (PBL) approach.…

Svetlana Rzanova; Elena Yushchik; Svetlana Markova; Albina Sergeeva – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The globalization of contemporary education is ensured by the incorporation of cutting-edge pedagogical techniques and active learning technologies, such as case-method technology, into the teaching and learning process as a whole. The primary objective of this research endeavour was to assess the efficacy of the case method when employed in the…

Hulsbergen, Michiel H.; de Jong, Jutta; van der Smagt, Maarten J. – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2023
To aid in teaching dialogue skills a virtual simulator called "Communicate!" was developed at Utrecht University. Teachers can build scenarios for students to practice dialogues with a virtual character. In two experiments (n = 128 and 133, a year apart), we investigated if and how "Communicate!" can be an effective aid to…

Blackstone, Bethany; Oldmixon, Elizabeth – Journal of Political Science Education, 2020
The use of active learning pedagogies gives students a more applied experience and aids in the retention of material, improvement of critical thinking, and overall student satisfaction. Among these pedagogies, long-form (complex, extended) simulations provide an excellent vehicle for teaching students about the legislative process. However, these…
