In this essay, we offer two personal narratives of how we innovated in our approaches to teaching and learning--our pedagogical epiphanies. The first narrative, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, focuses on innovating and moving from the use of a single learning process to the use of a portfolio of learning approaches that align with the learning…

This study examines whether case-based learning (CBL) in a core finance class improves student performance. It analyzes students' exam scores over two semesters at a regional U.S. public university. During the first semester, CBL is used to teach two sections of an intermediate corporate finance class. During the subsequent semester, the first…

TVET in Malaysia is geared toward providing quality education, training, and resources but it still needs to be strengthened and reformed toward producing a more quality and skilled workforce. This study aimed to procure feedback from TVET curriculum key-players' (automotive) on the integration of automotive case-based simulation (CBS) as TVET…

This study analyzes the effectiveness of two low-cost and easy-to-implement activities (a brief talk and a case discussion) in engendering interest and awareness toward climate action in a typical Principles of Marketing course. Our findings indicate that, consistent with existing research, women are more likely to be concerned about climate…

Productive classroom discussion has been shown to support student learning across academic domains. Facilitating successful discussion hinges on the teacher's ability to make adept in-the-moment observations of various aspects of student talk and classroom dynamics. In two studies, we explore a pedagogical intervention using contrasting cases to…

This research study examines the establishment and evolution of the first enrollment management credential in the higher education field 25 years ago at the University of Miami. Interviews were conducted with the program's current program director and the two pioneering administrators who created the program. The study also employed an alumni…

Purpose: Clinical reasoning is essential for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) when addressing ill-defined questions in various clinical settings. This study focuses on the acquisition of clinical reasoning skills in SLP students, particularly their evolution with clinical experience. To achieve this, the study developed and validated the first…

Active learning and student-centered learning are becoming the preferred teaching approach in higher education. Once heavily based on lectures, science instructors are adopting new teaching methods to promote active learning. Lecture-based courses can be modified to increase student engagement by including in-class discussions, activities, and…

This November marks another anniversary of the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, an example appropriate to introductory science or physical sciences courses from grade school to university. The purpose of this brief submission is to add an element to this story, which, despite having been mentioned before, has not received the prominence it…

This paper compares case studies and simulations, two popular experiential learning techniques used in capstone strategy courses, to provide insights into how each may contribute to the development and demonstration of students' critical thinking skills. We compared critical thinking assessments of a simulation-based assignment with the same…

In this role-playing teaching case, students impersonate Selective Consulting, a fictitious, Australian-based company tasked with assessing the information security practices of SkillPlat, a provider of apprenticeship and traineeship services. The case develops around the one-week visit paid by Selective Consulting to SkillPlat's headquarters,…

The use of a Practice set (case simulation) as an assessment task in management accounting is aimed at providing students with a practical experience in the application of a form of simulated real-world events. The pedagogical justification for the use of a case simulation is inherent in the concept referred to as "learn-by-doing"…

This case presents how a family-school liaison, Claudia Vasquez, attempts to cultivate deeper relationships between families and a bilingual elementary program. Two challenges that Claudia faces are the multiple roles and responsibilities placed upon her, as well as the lack of support from her school community toward engaging multiply-minoritized…

Any science teacher must first acquire analytical thinking skills in order to give their students the ability to think analytically. Therefore, the candidacy period is important for teachers to develop and transform this skill into professional knowledge. Based on this idea, the current research aims to determine the ability of third-grade…

Principal Harris, a new Black male principal at Merion High School, has found himself under fire for allegedly promoting critical race theory (CRT). He has received several forms of pushback as he navigates district and state mandates, racial trauma, invisible taxes, and microaggressions. Unfortunately, his best intentions are not good enough.…
