The kernel of this paper was to investigate the state of intergenerational knowledge-sharing practices in a principals' professional learning community (PLC) at a selected South African education circuit. The paper was nested in a qualitative approach and the interpretivist paradigm. Deliberate and snowball sampling techniques were employed to…

We developed and tested an NSF IGE-funded year-long program to improve the oral communication skills of STEM graduate students. By the end of the program, we organized our curricular materials into a 3C framework: "connect, convey," and "captivate." Within this framework, the Fellows learned rhetorical strategies, created…

Background: The job interview can be challenging for autistic adolescents considering the required social communication skills. Further, having decreased awareness of personal strengths may make it difficult to advocate for oneself to a future employer. The purpose of the current pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to examine the…

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of motor intervention program (MIP) on autistic index, pre-academic skills, motor skills and social skills of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The research group consisted of a total of 34 participants between the ages of 3-6, 17 in the control group (CG) and 17 in the experimental group…

Discovery-based learning is characterized by a learning environment where students are not passive observers but actively construct new knowledge, which is expected to contribute to their cognitive development. Since it is desirable for students to reflect on their physical actions during this process and considering the positive effects of using…

A campus-wide student-formed consulting community provides an interdisciplinary co-curriculum service-learning opportunity that connects students from various disciplines across a Midwest university to work on sustainability challenges in the local community. Projects include using waste glass in construction materials, cutting carbon footprint by…

This research paper investigates the influence of Generation Z (born approx. 2000 and 2015) on contemporary educational practices, focusing on their experiences in the classroom and their development of transferable skills for the workplace. As digital natives who have grown up with continual exposure to technology and digital information,…

Context: Soft skills or critical core skills (CCS), e.g., communication, problem solving, etc, have been recognized by both individuals and organizations as important but at shortage in the labour market. Within this context, the development of CCS for the employees becomes more and more pressing for the organizations in order to cope with the…

Among the contributions on skills in economic geography and related disciplines, the skills required in a regional context for putting circular economy into practice remain largely unaddressed. Labour markets have however a strong regional dimension, and industry development and transformation is often heavily reliant on already existing skills in…

Physical education (PE) programs are uniquely situated to promote the development of fundamental movement skills (FMS). The aim of this systematic review was to examine the elements of PE-based interventions globally for the development of FMS, as assessed through the test of gross motor development (TGMD). A systematic literature search was…

This study explores whether AI-generated adaptive feedback or static feedback is favourable for student interest and performance outcomes in learning statistics in a digital learning environment. Previous studies have favoured adaptive feedback over static feedback for skill acquisition, however, without investigating the outcome of students'…

This study aimed to contribute to the substantial body of research on critical thinking (CT) interventions by determining whether the effectiveness of two CT interventions (generic and infusion) varied according to students' baseline CT levels. Using a quasi-experimental design, we collected data from two universities, with 167 participants from…

As urgency grows for equity- and social justice-minded school leaders, understanding how educational leadership preparation programs develop equity and social justice competencies is increasingly important. This study captured program coordinators' perceptions of their emphasis, pedagogical approaches, and needs on four key equity and social…

Developing the next generation of anatomy educators is an expansive challenge that involves developing pathways for established scientists into the profession, and increasing the number of graduate level trainees who are both interested in anatomy education and qualified for educational work. In this article, we present long-term outcomes from a…

Contemporary undergraduate medical education has been exploring ways to effectively link basic medical curricula with clinical practice. Despite the variety of approaches, there is still no effective model or assessment method. This study examines an improved case-based learning (CBL) model that attempts to bridge the transition between basic and…
