Objective: Youth who receive services in residential programs have high rates of traumatic exposure and associated symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Little information is available on specific social skills training that could be beneficial for youth in residential programs with PTSD. This study examined changes in behavioral…

The purpose of this research was to examine pedagogical factors that supported graduate-level Instructional Design students in the rapid adoption and integration of technology-based projects in under 7 weeks, previously accomplished in approximately 9-months. Project-Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy was adopted to redesign a course to scaffold and…

Technology is becoming more integral across professional fields and within our daily lives, especially since the onset of the pandemic. As such, opportunities to learn computational thinking are important to all students--not only the ones who will eventually study computer science or enter the information technology industry. However, large…

One goal of undergraduate engineering education is to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and decision-making strategies that are necessary for success in engineering practice. One proposed method to teach students these skills is to incorporate habits of mind into K-12 and undergraduate curricula. Habits of mind are the intelligent,…

The STEM education emphasizes on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics with a major focus on engineering design process that engineers require in solving challenges or problems. Kolb's model provides micro-learning activities such as experiencing, sharing and processing, generalizing and applying. Therefore, both Kolb's model and…

Performing the identification of organic chemical compounds from a set of spectroscopic data gives the opportunity to students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In this context, we developed a student-centered methodology for teaching molecular structural analysis to first-year undergraduate students. This systematic…

This study examined the effectiveness of a school-to-work transition skills program on the career adaptability and career optimism of senior year university students in Turkey. For this purpose, a career intervention program was adapted from one developed in the USA. Results indicated that participants in the intervention group (N = 16) had higher…

In the research with the family assessment scale, rathus assertiveness and socio-demographic properties inventory has been used. The personal information form has…

The narrative permeating higher education institutions globally is the assimilation of advancing information and communications technology into mainstream Mathematics Education. In this paper we report on a mixed mode case study which explored possible mathematical gaps that created barrier/s when engineering students (n=162) worked with the…

The challenges of the 21st century place inquiry as a necessary pedagogical orientation to educate young people for the future. In Singapore, inquiry-based learning is a core feature in social studies and the humanities subjects (geography and history) and has been extended recently to curriculum in the arts.
