Based on empirical data, student learning outcomes on statistical material are not in accordance with the expectations of teachers so it is necessary to apply the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach. A CTL implementation can help students to understand concepts and skilled resolve issues. The research purpose is to see whether the…

This mixed-methods study examined how ten- to twelve-year-old children experienced and made sense of their growing climate change awareness through an after-school program that used participatory methods to facilitate children's informed climate change action. The fifteen-week program combined hands-on educational activities with digital…

The field of advertising is becoming increasingly integrated with public relations and social media (Kim, 2012). As a result, many employers expect new graduates to understand how to navigate this from both an integrated and digital perspective in their new careers. The challenge is that some advertising courses may be taught from a theoretical…

This forum paper offers alternative insights into Pei-Ling Hsu's "'It's a magic circle'! Using cogenerative dialogues to create a safe environment to address emotional conflicts in a project-based learning science internship." In her paper, she presented how cogenerative dialogues can be used to create an emotionally safe environment for…

This research article investigates the impact of using a Monopoly Board Game (MBG) in the teaching learning process of financial statement analysis (FSA) to information technology management students, who earlier had little or no finance or accounting prior educational background. The subjects were students (N=159) in an Indian University. The…

Active learning pedagogical approaches and methodologies have been shown to increase undergraduate student success. Specifically, the flipped classroom approach pushes course content outside of the classroom, allowing for the focus of each class period to be centered on student-student interactions and reducing student cognitive load in comparison…

A flipped classroom is an instructional model in which students learn basic subject matter knowledge prior to classroom meetings, and then come to classroom for active learning experiences. Previous research has shown that flipped classroom have a positive impact on students' learning. Most current studies focus on students' learning experiences…

Engineering courses typically follow a similar framework for content delivery: preread, lecture, and homework. Innovations are starting to be embraced that increase engagement, student learning, and success. One technique that is being experimented with is the use of the flipped classroom. In the flipped classroom model, students watch videos of…

We use standardized end-of-course knowledge assessments to examine student learning during the disruptions induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Examining seven economics courses taught at four US R1 institutions, we find that students performed substantially worse, on average, in Spring 2020 when compared to Spring or Fall 2019. We find no evidence…

Guided authentic scientific inquiry activities can give students a clear picture of the nature of science and how its fields operate in practice, but such activities are difficult to do well. Too much structure negates the benefit of open-ended activities and student-led investigation, while too little can result in frustration or unproductive…

This study proposes a participatory pedagogical framework founded on critical thinking as a method for analysis, reflection, and creative production of media through an understanding of the ways in which media literacy is being taught in higher education institutions in the United States. A qualitative design was utilized that included techniques…

Background: A factor related to students' course performance that has seen limited research compared to other academic factors is the time of day a class is offered. Because of students' chronotypes (i.e., preferred time of day to study or work), time of class can influence attendance, which has a strong correlation with students' performance in a…

ICAP is a theory of active learning that differentiates students' engagement based on their behaviors. ICAP postulates that Interactive engagement, demonstrated by co-generative collaborative behaviors, is superior for learning to "Constructive" engagement, indicated by generative behaviors. Both kinds of engagement exceed the benefits…

Accounts of practice within the action learning literature tend to omit the more mundane session-to-session details of the inner-workings of the action learning set. As well as concentrating on the problem, individuals in all sets spend some of their time in unproductive interpersonal exchanges. These exchanges may be considered trivialities and…

Academic papers on entrepreneurship in engineers' education have been growing in the last decades. However, studies on entrepreneurship in engineering have not sought to analyze how entrepreneurship education, in connection to active learning, design thinking, and Bloom's Taxonomy, inserted in an integrated way, as a tool, might help the process…
