From concept to competence: Advancing sustainability education through challenge-based learning in higher education
Purpose This study aims to address the persistent knowledge–action gap in sustainability education by implementing challenge-based learning (CBL) to transform students’ theoretical awareness into applied competencies. Design/methodology/approach A diagnostic survey (n = 108) assessed students’ sustainability knowledge, followed by two redesigned interdisciplinary undergraduate courses (n = 142) using the CBL framework. Students worked in 36 teams…
Challenge-Based Learning Through Making: Representing STEM Crosscutting Concepts Through Designing and Making in Middle School Engineering
Proportional reasoning is a crosscutting concept identified as necessary for student success in upper-level mathematics as well as science, technology, and engineering. Research on middle-grade mathematics learning shows that students tend to develop stronger understandings of mathematical concepts when they learn through constructionist real-world projects that are relevant and meaningful to them. In this qualitative exploratory research study, …
Characterizing the Foundations of School Makerspace Research and Preparing for the Future
Over the past decade, makerspaces have been increasingly incorporated into schools as venues for innovative and interdisciplinary instruction. At the same time, school makerspace research has increased, and much is now known about how makerspaces support students learning a range of skills, content, and practices. However, given the emergent nature of school makerspace research, there is still a pressing need to characterize the development and p…
