Inspired by Sheldrake's study of fungi [Sheldrake, M. 2020. "Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, and Shape Our Futures." London: Penguin Random House] and Barad's idea of entanglement [Barad, K. 2007. "Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning." Durham:…

How can elementary students use Google Slides to enhance their math problem-solving skills and creativity? Usable Math offers slideshows that pose a problem, provide hints, and ultimately reveal a solution. The intent of these slideshows is to provide extended opportunities to understand and practice mathematics skills. In this fourth-grade…

This paper examines the notion of wilding pedagogy and its potential for comprehensive transformation through educational policy. This paper argues that given current unsustainable human practices, significant changes can be achieved by aligning education and policy. This paper begins by defining wilding pedagogies and providing an overview of…

Even with significant resources and professional development committed to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, some elementary teachers do not feel prepared to integrate multidisciplinary content or implement project-based learning (PBL). Further research is needed for school leaders to shift traditional education…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of gamification on the five dimensions of meaningful learning (i.e. cooperative, active, authentic, constructive and intentional learning) and undergraduate student performance taking online lessons. Design/methodology/approach: Therefore, the authors conducted an experiment among undergraduate…

This paper explores the effective development and use of interactive simulations as a learning tool, integrating didactic and active approaches with complex laboratory and lecture content in undergraduate biochemistry and immunology courses. University science courses require students to master vast quantities of foundational knowledge that is…

Transdisciplinary problem-solving using digital technologies can further the internationalisation agenda within higher education through an inquiry-based collaborative online international exchange that is transformative and contributes real-world knowledge. Our study focused on a 12-week fully online programme bringing together undergraduates and…

I explore some facts about the area, position, etc. of the Steiner ellipse using GeoGebra and numerical analysis. Students can use these for mathematical inquiry.

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…

Engineers and planners are central players in creating the built environments and shaping natural ones that make up our communities. They can be a force for creating environments that are just and equitable, and by doing so advance the ideals of environmental justice. But, too often, these professionals are not empowered to create or seize…

This article explores the use of Project-Based Learning (PBL) to empower second-grade students to respond to the essential question: "How Can People Respond to Injustice?" Set in an independent school classroom, the investigation invites students to critically engage with historical and modern examples of injustice, using literacy as a…

Wicked problems have been characterised by their high epistemological and axiological complexities. These are the kinds of problems that may invade our classrooms because many of them concern many stakeholders, including our students. Several approaches have been developed to address wicked problems in various contexts. However, little is known…

Collaborative programs are essential to fully engage and educate all who interact with the environment. Existing place-based programs targeting the care of Hawai'i's land and oceans rarely simultaneously engage the tourism industry and local communities. To address this gap, researchers from the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology developed a…

The objectives of this research are: (1) to develop a flipped classroom learning plan using inquiry-based learning on the topic of substance separation for Grade 8 students, to achieve effectiveness according to the 75/75 criteria; (2) to compare science process skills and learning achievement before and after implementing the developed learning…

School change is difficult and is both leveraged and hindered by interactive influences within complex systems of social practice. Whole-school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is a growing trend with unique aspects of change required of educators. A qualitative case study was used to analyze educator perspectives of the…
