Educators need collaborative opportunities to renew their love of learning, not just to review data and rework lessons. Researcher Ian Parker Renga and coauthors examine the power of Math Teachers' Circles--a group of educators that get together to play math games and solve problems just for the joy of it.

Increasingly, graduates of business schools will face business and organizational situations with a high degree of complexity and ambiguity. In this context, teaching and learning strategies need to develop students' abilities in problem structuring and complex problem solving. This article describes a team-based project set to teams of four or…

We designed an interdisciplinary project-based learning course in hydroponics for undergraduate non-science major students. Students worked in teams to design, build, and maintain plants in various types of hydroponic systems over the semester. In three semesters of teaching the course, students consistently demonstrated knowledge of course…

Evaluation of the accounts of key individuals involved in the pilot found that participants had improved…

This study analyzed the research status of mathematical problem posing in thirteen major mathematics education journals from each journal's earliest publication year the study could access to the year of 2018 or 2019, among which 49 years long was the longest and 14 years long was the shortest. After a systematic and comprehensive review of all…

The intersection of the COVID-19 pandemic and the BLM movement led to a historic moment for American society.
