In the field of user experience (UX), there is a wide range of skills that practitioners are expected to acquire and demonstrate as a competitive candidate for a job. Previous research identified three main skill categories of UX practitioners: technical skills, human skills, and dispositions. However, as educators, we have found that students…

Education for sustainability demands transformative knowledge, which can be obtained through problem-based, project-organized learning (PBL). However, the integration of PBL and sustainability in higher education has not yet met the needs required due to the lack of application of a systemic perspective and strategy. In this literature review, we…

Traditional lecture continues to dominate undergraduate instruction in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) despite the decades-long call to alter teaching to include more student-centered, evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs). While researchers have done some exploration of barriers to change, a need exists for…

STEM-to-public science communication is recognized as an important skill, but a pedagogical framework for teaching these skills is lacking. Collaborating with safety and science communication experts, an intervention was developed in a health and safety course for chemical engineering students. Students attended three science communication…

Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of active teaching methodologies, namely, problem-oriented learning and the case method, to develop sustainability competencies. It also analyses the advantages and challenges for teachers when implementing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in eight undergraduate and postgraduate degrees…

The purposes of this sequential, mixed-methods, multiple-case study were to understand how fully-accredited medical schools in the United States operationalize the accreditation standard for self-directed learning (SDL), and to recommend an innovative framework for guiding SDL implementation across the continuum of medical education programs.

However, there remains limited research on implementing HyFlex in non-lecture undergraduate learning environments. This…

Historically minoritized and marginalized students have had harmful discriminatory experiences within and outside of their classrooms, which has been shown to negatively impact their educational outcomes. Research has illustrated how the transformation of pedagogical decisions and classroom interactions that cultivate inclusive excellence have…

Business Analytics has gained the attention of academia and industry due to three main trends namely, availability of data, methodological developments, and explosion in computing power and storage capacity. Many higher education institutes show interest in developing an undergraduate business analytics program. This paper develops a framework…

Research into the fluency-building tactic named Say All Fast Minute Every Day Shuffled (SAFMEDS) has implications for instruction at all academic levels. Several researchers have studied the effects of SAFMEDS in undergraduate courses; however, not all of the salient variables, or the relationships among variables, have been fully analyzed. The…

Purpose: Research in this field is becoming increasingly clear that a teacher residency program (TRP) has a strong potential for developing effective teachers in a teacher preparation context. There are specific features of a TRP that yield results in the development of teachers. However, there are often barriers to full implementation of a TRP…

Nursing educators have been asked to incorporate teaching and learning strategies that prepare nursing graduates to work in healthcare environments that require higher levels of thinking and clinical judgment. It is imperative that nurse educators use evidence-based teaching strategies that reflect the actualities of nursing practice. The flipped…

Education serves as a fundamental pillar enabling the settlement of members in a society. However, vulnerable groups like ex-detainees are sometimes left behind, owing to their socio-economic or demographic characteristics. Upon release, they need certain tangible and intangible resources, failing which they may return to prison. Empowering this…

Purpose: As the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been widely adopted since 2015, higher education institutions (HEIs) are experimenting with ways they can be measured, reported and incorporated into all realms of the university. In this process, the challenges of SDG integration into HEIs have become more evident, from lack of…
