As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly transforms higher education, faculty are increasingly expected to integrate AI tools into curriculum design, assessment, and instruction, often without adequate preparation. This article examines how Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) can effectively support faculty adopting AI technologies through…

The evolving designs of medical school curricula, coupled with the inherently difficult nature of physiology, can create unique challenges and opportunities for physiology educators as they strive to help students acquire the knowledge and understanding needed to become excellent physicians. Core concept teaching and its potential benefits have…

This descriptive report explores the implementation of the use of plastinated specimens in a Doctor of Physical Therapy human anatomy curriculum as an alternative to traditional body donor dissection. Plastination, a preservation technique developed in the 1970s, creates durable and flexible specimens that retain detailed anatomical features. The…

This review critically examines the concept of international mindedness (IM) within the broader discourse of international education. Drawing on a semi-systematic literature review, the study interrogates how IM has been conceptualized, applied, and critiqued across educational contexts. Adopting a critical lens, the review uncovers the…

Classroom discussions of social issues, ranging from gun violence and climate change to race and gender identity, have become risky and politicised, dividing parents and educators along ideological lines and leading to censorship. Journalistic teaching and learning in secondary school English classes present one viable solution. However, few…

In an effort to increase completion rates, the University of Houston (UH) has implemented customized strategies to improve course performance. Course grades impact GPA, and the literature consistently shows a strong positive relationship between GPA and the likelihood of persistence and degree completion. In 2021, UH launched an initiative to…

This study follows a study that researchers conducted at the beginning of the fall 2024 semester to investigate the first-day impacts of using an updated, visually stimulating syllabus on conveying essential course information and on initial perceptions of teachers. Findings indicated that students perceived the syllabus as easier to understand…

In this program profile, we describe the development of an integrated, genre-based writing curriculum in first-year engineering physics at a technical university in Sweden. The curriculum aimed at supporting undergraduate students develop disciplinary literacy and an understanding of the exigencies that different scientific genres fulfill, with a…

Curriculum design is a domain that infrequently forms a discrete element of initial teacher training, or continuing professional development for music teachers in English secondary schools. Classroom music teachers, teaching Key Stage 3 (KS3) learners (11-14-year olds), are, however, required to design their own curriculum. Teachers are…

Training in research methods is a crucial component of the student experience in further and higher education. A common set of statistical and experimental design methods are taught across a broad range of non-mathematics disciplines, spanning STEM subjects, medicine, and the social sciences. Understanding these methods is central to students'…

Worked examples have been shown to improve student learning in algebra. However, less is known about how to design worked examples to support student learning in online settings. We explore how college students react to worked examples that vary in their degree of extensiveness and dynamicness. In an online, within-subjects study, 109 college…

The innovative methodology of the financial literacy formation in primary school students has been theoretically substantiated, the research has been carried out on the basis of education for success in life (integration of media education, financial education and education for sustainable development) and the relationship between the pedagogy of…

Teacher training requires teachers to learn not only the academic content they must teach but to learn how to teach. In the modern world where changes are constant and the teaching demands are many, pre-service teachers must learn skills but they must also learn certain attitudes and beliefs that will allow them to be successful and effective in…

Purpose: This paper aims to share how an Asian university enhanced students' global competence through international business study missions (BSMs). More specifically, it focuses on how the design of these BSMs enabled "deep" learning beyond industry tourism and how 21st-century competencies such as "global competence" can be…

Holistic STEAM programs can benefit children by allowing them to develop an intersecting identity in STEAM disciplines, explore real-world issues more broadly, think critically and innovatively, solve problems using integrated approaches, and have confidence across multiple fields of study. Much of the current research situates identity…
