Serious games (SGs) offer an engaging format for teaching industrial engineering (IE) methodologies. IE methodologies involve people following a process in a set of conditions to design, improve and install systems, which are easily scripted into gameplay. The scholarship has proposed co-design approaches for teachers and SG designers. However,…

Information gathering activities in engineering design projects play an important role in the identification and definition of stakeholder needs and requirements. However, few studies have explored how students gather information from stakeholders and domain experts in capstone design settings. In this study, we analyzed audio recordings from 19…

Researchers studying curiosity and interest note a lack of consensus in whether and how these important motivations for learning are distinct. Empirical attempts to distinguish them are impeded by this lack of conceptual clarity. Following a recent proposal that curiosity and interest are folk concepts, we sought to determine a non-expert…

As of 2021, more than 30 countries have released national artificial intelligence (AI) policy strategies. These documents articulate plans and expectations regarding how AI will impact policy sectors, including education, and typically discuss the social and ethical implications of AI. This article engages in thematic analysis of 24 such national…

Purpose: The paper aims to develop a coherent understanding of literacy assessment, one that draws on current conceptualising of assessment generally while accounting for the complexity of literacy and literacy development. It responds to The Foundation for Learning Literacy Touchstone #8, offering a view of assessment as an "eco-system"…

In this brief reflection, I discuss how trust is integral to our approach to academic development. The value of engaging with an academic development programme is not only gained knowledge and skills of academic practice and increased trust in self and being trusted as an expert in return. We develop participants' trust in their own judgements and…

Building on recent literature on supervision practice that has turned away from previous efforts to construct typologies, and towards 'dialogic' models that emphasise iterative feedback processes between students and supervisors "in situ," this article examines how the curiosity of the supervisor expressed in supervision meetings can…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Artificial Intelligence Tools in Physics Teaching and Physics Education Research.] We present a study in which a version of a common conservation of mechanical energy introductory physics problem, an object released on an inclined plane, is given to OpenAI's GPT-4 large language model (LLM). We…

Purpose: The discipline of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) exhibits notable gender-related disparities despite being predominantly composed of women. Here, we explore how one's gender identity shapes professional experiences within CSD, focusing on barriers, biases, and the lived experiences of cisgender women, cisgender men, and gender…

Expertise plays a significant role in shaping self-regulated learning (SRL) by influencing how individuals set goals, monitor progress, employ strategies, and reflect on their learning process. However, comprehensive data on this link is sparse in medical contexts. This paper investigates the transitions of SRL phases during clinical-reasoning…

In 2023 the Australian government mandated reforms to initial teacher education (ITE) courses across Australia. The key rationale of the "Strong Beginnings Report" is to better prepare teachers for the classroom and help stem the flow of teachers leaving the profession. This article suggests that the "Strong Beginnings Report"…

The Initial Teacher Training Market Review was released at the end of the most tumultuous of academic years. In spite of a claim to offer the promise of 'world- class training', the proposals, if enacted, have the potential to force out many with genuine expertise in teacher education. Written during the seven-week review consultation period, this…

The purposes of this research were to assess the educational sustainability of an educational project based on phases-based assessment and to assess the results of the educational project. The participants were stakeholders of the educational project and experts, who were acquired by purposive sampling. The instruments were the assessment forms of…

This article illustrates how two teachers, a general educator and a special educator, used an interactive process in planning an interdisciplinary science unit for an inclusive Kindergarten classroom and how they addressed Universal Design for Learning (UDL) components. This planning process included capitalizing on each teacher's knowledge and…

Specific aesthetic features of the object and observer's expertise seem to be related to the perception of motion aesthetics. How differing kinematic motion characteristics and their manifestation are related to the perception of motion aesthetics and how this relates to the observer's expertise is still investigated. It is hypothesized that…
