In this paper, we raise questions about the role of student empathy and compassion when engaging with social and environmental justice issues -- significant in a world where challenges associated with such disruptions are faced daily. We draw on data from a larger, nationally funded study on enabling students' critical mathematical thinking. These…

Engineering learners must develop skills to design holistic solutions that take competing and complex economic, environmental, and social factors into account. Yet, these skills are not simply cognitive in nature. To develop holistic solutions, engineering learners must develop their affective attitudes so that they can gain an awareness of…

The problem in this study is to evaluate the improvement of students' geometry skills using the GeoGebra application by focusing on two key indicators: logical thinking and drawing skills. This study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods. In the first stage, quantitative data were collected through pretests and posttests to measure…

Evidence indicates that undergraduate students value the Me in a Minute video strategy as a mechanism for developing employability articulation skills. However, an in-depth analysis of students' ability to create a Me in a Minute video that effectively articulates employability strengths has not been conducted. An assessed Me in a Minute module…

The Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has transformed international research and policy debates on the assessment of adult skills. Although research using PIAAC data is accumulating, little is known about how these data are used and what…

Research on engineering practice and its relationship with engineering education is getting increased attention in the engineering education literature recently. In this article, we present a study of engineering practice in an electrical power utility company that focused specifically on the learning practices of professional engineers. Through…

Engineering education has evolved significantly in recent years, however, engineering graduates continue to encounter challenges during their transition to the workplace. There is a need to identify graduates' needs and gather their input regarding engineering education programs to enhance the preparation of engineering students for the workplace.…

Language mindsets and L2 willingness to communicate (L2 WTC) are closely related and have contributed greatly to learners' L2 learning achievements under the SLA paradigm. However, relatively less attention has been given to the influence of language mindsets and L2 WTC on L2 pragmatic acquisition. This paper aims to examine the potential…

Mathematical communication, encompassing writing in, about, and for mathematics, is a critical competency. Defining excellent mathematical writing standards, however, remains challenging. To address this, we conducted a systematic review of 48 scholarly works on quality in mathematical writing. Our findings reveal mathematical writing for…

The teaching and learning innovations in this post-COVID pandemic study focus on improving content knowledge, pedagogy, instructional resources, the learning environment, and learning outcomes. Using technologies to provide sustainable interventions is good, but adopting innovative digital pedagogical resources to facilitate instructional…

In 2024 the AIChE Education Division surveyed departments over how they prepared graduate student instructors (GSIs) and the roles these GSIs have. This survey was completed by 70 departments, reaching departments big and small; with and without graduate teaching requirements; and a wide range GSI training programs. This first-of-its-kind survey…

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in engineering education has significantly transformed the learning process, particularly in developing technical writing skills. This study investigates how specific ICT tools such as Grammarly, Turnitin, Google Docs, and Moodle enhance technical writing proficiency among…

If a civic education is the essential foundation for a functioning, discursive democracy, how should it be taught? This book offers an innovative solution, arguing that far from abandoning the often- grand promise of civic education as a means of cultivating reasoning skills and democratic character, we should embrace it, and proposes a reimagined…

According to employers, college graduates should possess interpersonal skills including the ability to work in and lead teams. Many instructors incorporate group projects in their courses to encourage student development of teamwork and leadership skills through experience. Research suggests, however, these skills must be taught explicitly. To…

Alongside formal education, the home mathematics environment is important for children's early maths development. This study reports a new domain-specific measure of parental self-efficacy for maths (and reading skills) with 3-4-year-olds. 65 families in the UK were surveyed, and a sub-sample of 40 families also completed a remote child assessment…
