Transdisciplinary training: what does it take to address today’s “wicked problems”?Innovation and Education - Tập 3 - Trang 1-8 - 2021
Euson Yeung, Leslie Carlin, Samantha Sandassie, Susan Jaglal
There is a growing need to address today’s “wicked problems” seen in issues such
as social justice, global climate crisis and endemic health concerns. Wicked
problems are those for which there is no single, clear or optimal solution and
thus are amenable to transdisciplinary solutions. Working in a transdisciplinary
paradigm is thus seen as an increasingly necessary learned skill, and yet there

DataStory™: an interactive sequential art approach for data science and artificial intelligence learning experiencesInnovation and Education - - 2021
Daniel Maxwell, Sarah Meyer, Charlotte Bolch
Technical training in the fields of data science and artificial intelligence has
recently become a highly desirable skill for industry positions as well as a
focus of STEM education programs in higher education. However, most of the
educational training and courses in data science and artificial intelligence are
abstract and highly technical which is not appropriate for all audiences. In
this pape... hiện toàn bộ

The issue of integrated STEM curriculum design and evaluation requires a more
consistent understanding and clarity among STEM educators. In this paper, we
propose an instructional framework of STEM integration based on the theoretical
notions of disciplinarity and problem-centred learning. The proposed S-T-E-M
Quartet instructional framework utilises complex, persistent and extended
problems at it... hiện toàn bộ
User experience and motivation with engineering design challenges in general chemistry laboratoryInnovation and Education - Tập 3 - Trang 1-12 - 2021

Our career-forward approach to general chemistry laboratory for engineers
involves the use of design challenges (DCs), an innovation that employs
authentic professional context and practice to transform traditional tasks into
developmentally appropriate career experiences. These challenges are scaled-down
engineering problems related to the US National Academy of Engineering’s Grand
Challenges tha... hiện toàn bộ
Experiential learning with virtual reality: animal handling trainingInnovation and Education - Tập 2 - Trang 1-9 - 2020

Training in handling laboratory animals is fundamentally imperative to the
responsible use of animals in research. Animal welfare topic is underdeveloped
in the tertiary education, where instruction is majorly delivered in the format
of lecture and group discussion only. Students with limited exposure to the
laboratory were inattentive to animal welfare and uncertain how ethics
intertwine with sci... hiện toàn bộ
